Inspired by Vintage as Usual

I was going through some boxes in my quest to ever organize my life, and I came upon a book that I had taken out of my college library about 7 years ago. I know this because the date it was due back was April 02, 2004. Needless to say that I never returned it.* This book was A History of Fashion by Madge Garland, a Picture Guide to its Creators and Creations. You can understand why I was drawn to this book in the first place. After thumbing through it again, I was immediately reminded what I love about fashion, especially vintage fashion. Fashion has the ability to affect me and more importantly, inspire me.

Scarlett Johansson Looks Retro Glam

ScarJo has been on the circuit lately, promoting her new movie "I Bought a Zoo" (which I will admit, does look pretty cute) and has been looking uber retro chic! I love her hair the most, the dress and the strappy peep toe heels most definitely complete a pin up look.

Can I create this look at home? Obviously with a little motivation you can! As far as the hair is concerned, I found this great tutorial online which can help you create the do! Clothing wise, it's totally easy to come up with your own version of her premiere look.
