No matter how much we wish it would have been true, time travel is just impossible. So, meanwhile to be able to experience a bygone era living style, fashion is the perfect getaway. Some ladies have cultivated their dress and hair so diligently that you would feel you are looking at someone primeval. But amazingly, they are all modern ladies whose style and attitude is inspired by the past.

Every decade has its specific defining features. Beautiful pin curls were hot 1930’s style whereas free-flowing, loose hairs really took off during 60’s and ‘70’s. Let’s not omit the costumes, either. Some go DIY while others scour the racks of the vintage clothing.
