Mag-tear 2: Hot Toppers

I am usually not a hat person, but I am slowly developing a love affair with head gear. As of late there are some stunning hat makers and hair accessories I have been eyeing, and these mag-tears just provide further inspiration.

Vogue Nippon, "One Day In Tokyo"
More than anything, I am adoring the simple fedora that is coming back in style - it's so elegant and boyish. This is definitely on my wardrobe wishlist this month.

Coco Rocha in Vogue Nippon August 2008, In the Sweetness of Day
This hat is like a cross between childhood hero and evil queen.

Natasha Poly in Vogue Russia, July 2008.
I love the form this headpiece makes, and the way it makes the body attached to it an accessory. She looks like a gilded tulip.

Jessica Stam, “The Sheltering Sky” Ph: Patrick Demarchelier
Vogue UK May 2008
Pining for big bows, but worried that you will look like a Lolita nightmare? This is a gorgeous example of how a big bow can be quite grown up, elegant, and whimsical and fun all at once.

Siri Tollerod in Dazed & Confused July 2008, Hand-Painted Foliage
Come on, don't we all wish we could wear crowns?

Mag-Tear 1

Are you a mag-tearer? Do you dismantle your magazines to pull out your favorite images? Or does the idea of marring that Vogue bring you to tears?

I am a little of both - in the past, I have torn my mags asunder (a huge binder in my office filled to the brim is the result of these massacres), but lately I just can't bring myself to do it - the bibliophile in me simply shudders at the prospect.

Fortunately, the powers of the internet once again save the day! No longer must I damage my fav mags to snatch up those images I adore. There are now entire communities dedicated to this endeavor! It's like I've died and gone to mag-tear heaven!

Here are some of the recent favs I've come across...
