FLASHBACK: Hot Hollywood

Today is a celebration of old Hollywood and the young stars of America who made the Movie Industry an exciting place to be! Or an excuse to look at some hot people from the 1950's and their awesome original style...

James Dean

Oooohhhh James Dean, the icon of Men's 50's style and the bad boy persona. Boys take note of his effortless charm, and his three key looks, the leather jacket, the bomber jacket and the pea coat. Oh and jeans of course. The ultimate poster boy for old Hollywood, and many bedroom walls!

Marilyn Monroe

So we could never leave Marilyn Monroe out of the equation, the glamorous and sweet star of the 50's, with curves to die for. But it was when Marilyn was dressed in her cute polo necks that she looked her hottest, teamed with fitted trousers or aline skirts, she looked demure and amazingggggg!! 

Marlon Brando

Marlon Brando aka 'The Wild One', another fan of the leather jacket but this time it's all about teaming it with the classic t-shirt and a baker boy hat. Maybe don't write your name on yours though, cute in the movies but not so much in real life! (Also how good does he look in that first image).

Audrey Hepburn

Audrey Hepburn and her little elfin face is our final Hot Hollywood star. Audrey had a style that was elegant and graceful but with a little playful touch that now looks so contemporary. With perfect hair hair and eyebrows, and that cute hat in the first image, she looks like a modern day star! 

Fancy a little more Hollywood inspiration, then check out the looks of Brigitte Bardot, Tab Hunter, Patricia Neal, Tony Curtis, Janet Leigh, Steve McQueen, Sandy Dennis, Lee Remick...

REWORKED KNITWEAR: CUT IT SHORT

We know there is nothing more comforting than a huge comfy jumper to cosy into for the colder months. We get so many of those at COW so we decided to play about with some of them and give you more options How To Wear your knitwear this season. 

Here are our Reworked Cropped Knits to give your winter wear an instant update. All stores have plenty of options, patterns and colours for you to choose from.

We recommend mixing them with longer shirts underneath over trousers or shorts. Or go girly with a pleated skirt and layer with scarves, knee high socks and gloves!

We will be adding these to our website WWW.WEARECOW.COM very soon so keep it here!

WE LOVE: FOXES

Foxes aka Louisa Rose Allen is a total fox! As well as that she has us dancing around our shops, studio and homes with her new singles accompanied by some wonderfully styled music videos!

Her catchy new singles Youth and Echo show her range and how a strong voice with a great tune can make for one hell of a good catchy pop song! We're not usually big pop fans at COW but Foxes might have changed us. 

We also have a huge style crush! She can pretty much wear any style and it looks great. We're guessing she doesn't normally run round a sequinned body suit like she does so well in the Youth video, but even your regular vintage tee, leather jacket and high-waisted shorts look like something special on her never mind those uber-cute Mickey Mouse Ears!

We highly recommend if you haven't already heard of Foxes you get straight to her YouTube Channel and listen to every single song and dance around while you do so.

If you want to hear more from Foxes make sure to check out the links below and her Instagram which shows just how cute she is in real life! She's not playing over here just yet but we will have to put a bit of sparkle on to go and see her soon.

INTRODUCING: Literature Thieves

Meet Literature Thieves, a Manchester based band signed to record label Red Deer Club! Angela, Amy and Cassie have a dream like contemporary 70's style that sits perfectly with their folky hits... think moon and stars, floaty prints, colourful hair, and a bit of paisley thrown in for a gorgeous vintage look that we love! Their influences include Simon and Garfunkel, Kate Bush, Stevie Nicks and The Carter Family, have a listen to their Soundcloud to find out more... or see them play live on 9th November at Star and Garter, Manchester.

Literature Thieves - Waves That Weave

“They deliver quirky folk pop filled melodies, three part harmonies, all done with a stylish off-kilter attitude, think Sea of Bees / Tasseomancy… Addictive and very catchy!” – Folk Radio UK -

“All beautiful harmonies, gently strummed mandolins and plenty of heart-bruising lyricism, this was less a grand statement of intent from one of Manc music 2012’s most amazing new bands, and more a cosy campfire sing-along with three bessie mates you’d yet to make.” – City Life
