Shopping

[madamemodiste]

I had a little stash of money, and with it, I bought a lavender silk fringed scarf/wrap from Urban Outfitters for $34.00. This baby comes in black, ivory, or lavender (though the website says black or grey only, which is odd). You're surprised I didn't get black? So am I! But I'll tell you why: It's for Regency gowns. I figured the lavender could be worn with white, black, or any color I'd be likely to choose.



They also have a variety of cute cocktail hats with millinery veiling and cocktail feathered hair clips with veiling. There was a blue wool I almost bought because it's so fab, but I'd never wear blue, so I didn't go for it. The leopard print one was close just for kicks, but I don't wear leopard print these days.

And the black satin evening tap pants? Freaking adorable.

This black wool cape/vest with steamy brass buttons and optional spaghetti strap wool dress is so to die for!! I hope Santa brings the cape/vest for me for Christmas!

And how about this reproduction 1920's antique camera? Too expensive, but so fabulous!

Anyway, they had so much stuff in the store that made me drool. Sad to come away with just a wrap, but that ole money tree still isn't growing.

ok. why did you have to post this?
i really wish that i had $400 extra because i would totally buy that camera for my hubby. he adores cameras, especially reproduction ones, really antique, but who can afford working ones of those?!

Super cute clothes and that camera is WAY cool!

I think you really need those tap pants. They would look adorable with one of your bodices and a little top hat.

Neat! Did you see this clock?

I would need to paint it but it's screaming to be steampunk! :D

Yes, I did see the clock and I think it's beautiful! They are also selling table top hat stands!

Cool! I totally can't find the hat stands... are they just in the store?

[madamekat.livejournal.com]

I saw them in the store. Actually, I saw a TON of stuff in the store that never made it to the website.

OK, I have to retaliate with newport-news clearance items: you might like the Velvet "equestrian coat" for Pirates or as a baseline for steampunking

and I thought the boots were very inventive this season:

red patent lace-ups,

I've had that coat for about 2 years now! I LOVE it and wear it all the time. Great minds think alike :D
