Inspired By: Capes

By -
Lupita Nyong'o and Amy Adams at the Globes and Cyndi Lauper at the Grammys all had something in common -- capes. I can't hide it any more. I suffer from cape lust. (Sorry, Eda Mode.)

Capes are simple shapes that provide high drama. Simple drama is my jam. I also happen to swoon for crazy sleeves, but my sleeves and coats are at war. This cannot happen in the year of the POLAR VORTEX (vortex vortex). Capes to the rescue. My current goal is to have one of these for spring even if I have to make it myself. Pictures if when it happens.

Retro Shoes

By -

I love vintage shoes, but between the heavy wear and narrow fit, I have to indulge my wants with fabulous reproductions. Mary Janes, t-straps, peep toes, low heels. If it looks like it's from the 20s-50s, I'm there! I like to wear them with Victorian jewelry and funky outfit. How do you wear retro heels?

Sweet Sleep Bra

I've been waiting Anthropologie's ruffled bra and panty set to go on sale. What it lacks in the sex appeal of Anya's retro ensemble, it makes up for in cute ribbons and ruffles. The set is available in cream and pink, rose and black, or grey and black, but I prefer the dark of the latter to offset the sweetness of the look. The bra was $58, which is silly for a cotton, wireless sleep bra, but the price has dropped to $29.95. That's at least worth thinking about. $30 for panties, however, is still laughable.
