I love this new vintage hair style inspiration I found on Bobby Pin Blog the other day ~  I am guessing it’s from around the late 1940s – early 1950s; I don’t really know for sure, but I think that this glam photo of Betty Davis’s fluffy and simple side-do is gorgeous!

Looking at the photo now, I can see there are a few things I missed the first time ~ like the side swept fringe is pinned further back than I initially thought, and it also has more volume.  Plus it looks like the opposite side {the right side} is pinned back as well. 

That’s ok though; I now have an excuse to try this style again.  Not that I really need one, as I think this hairdo is likely to become one of my staples.  I instantly loved the way that it looks on me, and it suits my hair perfectly!  Win!

  1. Those socks are gorgeous.  I need to steal them, or find some of my own, whichever is easier.

  6. Aw, thanks Amber.  I borrowed my son's teddy for the pictures; I thought he was too cute not too use.  :)

  7. I totally agree Jessica ~ I am in love with pastels at the moment, but making them suitable for winter isn't always that easy. It's a great idea to pair the colors up with darker ones ~ I think that dark grey or navy would work equally well, if not better than black. :)
