2. Edgy Hipster - fedoras, bright scarves, stilettos, purses embellished with metal.

3. Roaring Twenties - feathered purses and headbands, art deco earrings, delicate crystal jewelry, hairpins, mesh purses.

4. Chalet Chic - shearling boots, ribbed wool scarves, fur hats and bags (faux!).

That should give you some food for thought. Now, on with the contest!
