Fashion from "The Notebook"

So you all know the heartwarming romance "The Notebook" starring Rachel McAdams and Ryan Gosling? Well I think that I'll be doing a series of blog posts featuring Allie Hamilton's Clothing.

In fact, it wasn't until looking over the phoots right now that I realized how much Allie loves wearing red! The red sweater she wore when she first met Noah, her red bathing suit in the famous "If you're a bird, I'm a bird" beach scene, the red print dress she wore as she walked with Noah down a street with an ice cream cone, her dark red dress when she goes to meet Noah again (after many years) at his new house, and even the red blanket she is seen wearing when she finds her mother at Noah's door. THE LADY IN RED IS BACK! (Besides the blue dress in the most famous boat scene of the movie)

HERE'S HOW TO GET ALLIE'S STYLE FOR THOSE OF YOU ON A BUDGET
There are two things that are key to looking like Allie:
  1. Buttons. From the cute buttons-with-collar dress she wore on her first date with Noah to the printed dress with buttons all along the side on the day she and Noah had ice cream together and of course, her blue dress on the famous boat scene. Allie Hamilton is not Allie Hamilton without the buttons. WHAT YOU CAN DO: Pull out your polos or sew on buttons yourself to old dresses from thrift shops to give them a whole new look.
  2. Thick Headbands. From the beach scene to when Allie first visits Noah at his new home, Allie is seen wearing thick headbands with a great flower on the side. Headbands are key to looking 1940s. WHAT YOU CAN DO: Headbands are not expensive at all. Forever 21 has them CHEAP. Can't find a headband with a flower? Make a flower out of fabric scraps yourself! This is all about innovation.
