Revival: Russian-esque Fur Hats

Winter is nearing and the fashionistas are forecasting, so what's hot(in the context of cold;p) now?

RUSSIAN STYLE FUR HATS- The Ushanka!

Lily Allen all warm in 2009

They're actually called Ushanka's which is an easier way to address this hat to be honest but apparently it's not commonly used in the mainstream fashion world, so we shall conform to that for this post.

I've noticed how style is being more comfort friendly these days, which is good because there is no point being pretentious especially when we were faced with one of the harshest winters in England. The answer to a comfy stylish hat is the traditional Russian fur hat, with the actual designer ones that consists of Mink fur which we have no qualms about, just that faux fur is just as comfortable for us.

A lot of high street stores are home to these faux fur Russian inspired hats after predicting this come back.

It's great that being reasonable is slowly infusing itself with style because these hats keep you warm and cosy while you make a statement, now that is really all you need while waiting for a bus out in the cold.

Check out the President of Argentina rocking this look after receiving the hat as a gift from the President of Russia!

Get your hands on them & prepare yourself for winter!

Hairy Tales: Pixie Cut

British Fashion IconHermione GrangerEmma Watson does the Halle Berry with her epic hair transformation.

She went from this(well sort of)...

To this...

Do we love it?YES. She is able to own this look without looking like a boy and not many people can. A lot of people, especially from the media made a huge fuss about this, dissing her for this apparent drastic move but this pretty face would have obviously thought this through thoroughly before going for the chop but hey, it suits her. She still holds Britain's top 50 most beautiful females.

Hermione Granger rocks her new look and will keep it that way for awhile

Would you ever take the same risk as her?
