Looking at vintage veils and headpieces makes me giddy. Some of them are completely out there and some have come right back into style. Wrapped turban style, delicate lacy headbands, and long Juliet caps are the order of the day. Today's Superficial Snack is also a Vintage Snack! Let's take a look at some lovely and cool vintage veils and headpieces.
