Agatha Christie's Poirot - The Hollow (2004)

I was catching up on my Poirot episodes this weekend and a few fashiony things caught my eye! These are featured in the episode entitled "The Hollow" (season 9, episode 4).

I love the idea of stenciling your upper arm like this particular character did below. I think it's a great way to add an extra, unique touch to your look and I think it's especially suitable for those languid summer cocktail parties that I'm sure all of you are attending on a regular basis (wink).

I also liked her dress with the gold sequins:

And of course, her hair:

She maintains this hairstyle throughout the entire duration of the episode but she manages to vary it according to the occasion. Sometimes she has it well-brushed and pinned and other times, she wears it loose and informal.

The small circles in the back look a bit intimidating and I wouldn't be able to do this on my own. One would need a lot of practice...
