This is how I feel about fall dressing!

I have been wanting to wear lots of frilly blouses with rich textural jackets and hippie throwbacks.   I have a gorgeous vintage wool navy cape that I can't wait to get out for fall and winter as well as my 1960's fringe leather jacket like the one below.  I love to wear layers and can't wait to start playing around!  I'm excited about the dark blue flared jeans that I over dyed.   This set contains many things I have, in different forms.  It's fun to put together a look book of things similar to my wardrobe.  It's such a good way to get excited about "shopping" your own closet!

The way for fall by prettypiratedesigns featuring Acne jeans

Brilliant!

I had a moment recently where this item would have come in really handy. I was wearing heels to go to a fashion show. I ended up having to walk A LOT farther than I had planned on. Like many blocks longer. I decided since my feet were literally dying and burning, I needed to get a pair of cheep shoes. I ended up going to DSW and finding the cheapest flats I could find for 15$. I worn them to walk the rest of the way to the train, then home. If These Rollasoles had been around I would have saved money and had a perfect pair to keep in my purse for future feet ouchies.

Via Perez Hilton.......
Female clubbers in Britain have been enjoying the comfort of slipping out of their stilettos and basking in the joy of flats at their favorite hot spots. For about 5 pounds (which translates to about 8 bucks), a pair of cushy flats can instantly be yours for your aching feet. And they boast being super flexible, so they can be folded up and stashed in your bag for latter usage.

Founder of Rollasole, Matt Horan, is one clever fellow and his inspiration was nothing short of moments of sheer inconvenience: "After getting tired of giving my girlfriend a piggyback home every Saturday night, I had a 'eureka' moment."

Girl Crush!

Brick My lane just did a awesome DIY! I just found her blog today and couldn't be more excited. Just look at the awesome shoes she created. I am thinking about using my DIY boots for a new Diy. I want to make them have open toes and, or some sort of cutouts, they are a thin enough material so I think it would work out nicely. I'll post pictures if I get brave enough to start cutting.

Fashion in art

George Barbier is one of my all time favorite artists. You can see he was inclined to paint beautiful woman with a strong asian influence. I love asian art as well and have lots in my home already. I wish all of his prints would end up lining my home for daily outfit inspiration.

Love!

I've always been a fan of light denim, and have been stocking up for years, YEA!!! Photo from who what wear. You can see one of my DIY pairs here. I recently added even more holes but need to wash them again so they fray properly.

Lovely lacy ladies

I love the vintage lace and victorian look. These ladies are a bit more adult looking than the typical Gothic Lolita look. I think they all look adorable. I have a huge section of my closet with all cream colored lace, I think there is a reason. Pictures from Dropsnap.

Perfect dress!

I'm in love with this dress, I want to try to make something similar it a not-so crazy print. I'm thinking grey or white jersey. Photo via FaceHunter
