Style Inspiration: Brideshead Revisited
Being a somewhat besotted fan of Evelyn Waugh’s writing, not to mention my longing to live and dress with the Bright Young Things of 20s upper class London, it was inevitable that I would be a little bit obsessed with the remake of “Brideshead Revisited” before it was even released. Stumbling upon the trailer for the upcoming film I am utterly seduced by flapper bobs and curls, boys in silk pajamas and three piece suits with corsages and drop waisted silk dresses and overcome with an insatiable urge to run to my closest vintage store so that I can stock up on elaborate embroidery, dress hats and gloves and dazzling glass beads!
