Love backless dresses

I first spotted it on Sienna Miller in the Edie Sedgewick movie.  I HAD to have one, so one of my fav designer friends Tania Martins / Pink Cobra made two for me.  One in gold/beige silk (wore it for my best friends wedding, the photographer got a paparazzi shot of hubby and I) and a black one in a thicker material (wore it for New years).   The gold one Kate Moss is wearing is beautiful I really like the material.

Fringe

Like the cool posso the spats now you can add fringe to any of your booties. http://peeps.org/khoihome.html 

Go visit the Queen of the Boudoir

http://www.theboudoirqueen.com has launched their own DOT.COM.  The site is beautiful and very true to it’s creator.  Dawns work is truly amazing.  She re works beautiful delicate vintage materials and turns them into beautiful dresses, cuffs, belts, shawls, jewelry and my FAV head pieces!  You HAVE to take a peak.  I’ve blogged about her before, this is one place to go to get unique pieces of old school glamour.  These pics are of her…I hope she doesn’t mind me posting them but you have to see the beauty behind the creation.

Showgirl back in the day vs. new age

Her name is Lola, she was a showgirl
But that was 30 years ago, when they used to have a show
Now it’s a disco, but not for Lola
Still in the dress she used to wear, faded feathers in her hair

Hope you’re having a great weekend

I never use to rock floral prints let alone floral headbands..but I dig it now.

Nice Headpiece Ms. Claudia

What a beauty.

Mix

Whenever I see a mix of white and asian I can’t help but think if that’s how my kids are going to look.  Here are some good looking models that have crossed my path.  Ali, Nadine, Sam and Kent =)
