Fashion Inspiration: Reign

Saturday, November 9, 2013


Hi there everyone, hope your all having a great weekend!

I recently began to watch the CW's new series Reign and OMG am I in love! It has drama, love, history, and amazing fashion, this show is right up my ally! The show follows Mary (Adelaide Kane) Queen of Scots and it focuses on her engagement to Francis the future King of France. The writing for the show is amazing (in my opinion), its also rather scandalous. If you haven't watched it yet, I completely recommend you do. It's a combination of Gossip Girl meets Game of Throne which is AMAZING cause I love both those shows too.


Headbands: 1, 2, 3, 4. Waist Belts: 1, 2, 3, 4. Crown Headbands: 1, 2, 3, 4.
So lately I have found myself adding small Reign inspired accents to my outfits. So I did some digging and found some pieces that are modern/16th century inspired. The girls are always wearing these amazing headpieces that I just wish I could grab off the screen. They just make everything look so much more 16th century (whatever that means, lol). I found myself styling my hair as if I was a member of the Reign cast (only in my dreams). But I loved the look and will definitely be looking to add more head pieces to my wardrobe.


Gowns (top left to right):
  1. Thoraya gown by Maria Lucia Hoan
  2. Embroidered Tulle gown by Marchesa
  3. Hexam Draped Lace and Crepe gown by Ronald Mouret
  4. Embellished of the shoulder gown by Marchesa
  5. Angeli embellished gown by Temperley London
  6. Neon City gown by Sass & Bide
Besides the amazing headpieces, every time I watch an episode I am just drooling over the gowns. I noticed that Mary and her ladies in waiting are always wearing flowy chiffon gowns, with amazing embroidery detail or some beautiful lace embellishments (who doesn't love them some lace?!). Now I would love to add these gowns to my wardrobe but sadly I don't attend enough glamours event to wear them. But if anyone is willing to through a 16th century themed ball, feel free to add me to guest list!

What do you all think of Reign and whats your favorite show for fall?

Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
xoxo Franchesca
