♥ those who do not want to imitate anything produce nothing.

image via we heart it

my boyfriend and i watch alot of movies. ALOT.

so what better way to spend a drizzly wednesday evening

than cozied up with my boy, a bottle of wine and

brand new woody allen comedy,

whatever works (2009)?

i can't say more wonderful things about this witty little comedy,

it is charming and heart warming and very well cast.

in typical woody allen fashion, the characters are

self deprecating, hilarious and brilliant,

and (as films like annie hall (1977) and

vicky cristina barcelona(2008) would tell you,)

rife with personal style.

i was smitten with the stylish looks worn by the

overly religious, overprotective southern belle–

turned threesome–loving artist, marietta,

played by the exquisite actress, patricia clarkson.

in nina garcia's fashion tome,

the little black book of style, the fashion editor asserts;

"there are countless scenes throughout the history of film,

scenes that stick in our minds and inspire us to emulate these women,

or their style at least."

i wholeheartedly concur.

here are a few shots from the film that better illustrate my point:

southern belle:

city gal:

my favorite part of the whole bohemian/artist look

is the perfectly wrapped head scarf.

it reminds me of a few of my other favorite

headscarf moments on film:

annette bening in running with scissors (2006)

cate blanchett in the curious case of benjamin button (2008).

and of course, no one can wear a trend better than

sjp in sex and the city.

want to look as cute as j.lo in your head scarf?

here are some cute instructions to try for yourself,

and remember,

"when imitation goes over big,

it isn't an imitation.

it's a trend."
