Russian Fairy Tale Fashion


Check out these ladies:

They could be from one of these stories, like Vasilisa the Beautiful by Ivan Bilibin:


You'll need long hair in braids:


Red Lipstick (Mac's Russian Red is PERFECT):


Fur (vintage, please!) or Faux Fur. This vintage raccoon fur hat is darling:


and something to redden your cheeks with that perfect poison-flush. Try this cheek stain by Tarte:


Get inspired by curling up with a book of Russian Fairy Tales... like this one, by Alexander Alexeieff:


put on a cup of tea (make sure the cup is vintage, and decorated with scenes of a Russian city circa 1800):


or run out, with your red lips, cheeks, and braids, in this dress, by the designer Mod Cloth, called "Taking It Breezy Dress":


...you'll probably meet a fox that's actually a prince.
