Happy Thanksgiving!

I love how Thanksgiving colors, orange and brown, happen to be a great color combination  for fresh looking outfits. Happy Thanksgiving! 

I usually look at fashion blogs on a monthly basis and one of my favorites is http://cupcakesandcashmere.com/. She always has cool styles that look effortless. Her mix of casual and formal looks are classy and her cute accessories are things I wish I could find.

Notice how she is wearing a bow tied shirt underneath her dress. I had a post that showed how popular bows are in fashion.

Sparkles!

I think the glitter wigs from the Comme Des Garcons Fall 2011 show were pretty cool. They just look like really fun pieces of art to wear on your head. It makes me want to spray glitter in my hair.

This is my vintage silver evening purse with sparkles. The lining is pretty tough inside. I used it at a dance and fit my phone and camera inside without it looking overstuffed. I'm glad I used it. I got compliments and it went well with my vintage silver earrings.

Here is a 40s inspired outfit. The dress has no label, the shoes say Personality, and the cape is Sherwood of Ohio and Kronenfeld Furs.

Miu Miu did a great job of channeling the 40s in their Fall 2011 collection. They showed interesting bird motifs, tortoise shell sunglasses, 40s hair, and sparkling contorted shoes. They chose Hailee Steinfeld to model in their campaign and she did a great job displaying the line. In the picture above they show the over sized clutch that was also very popular.

Tied into Fashion

Bows have always seem to be in fashion. You can dress them up or down. They make shoes and purses more delicate and if they have a wild pattern they can make anything more intricate. 

Two vintage bow pins. 

This is a vintage necklace and earring set I got that I thought was very pretty. I can actually see myself wearing them together and they look pretty modern separate from each other. I think I'll wear them with an Easter outfit because of the pastel-like colors.

The back of the earrings are signed LC.

Yesterday I went to the flea market and found some pretty cool vintage jewelry. The sand dollar necklace has the inscription Metta 75' on it which makes it easy to know which year it is from. I also really like the owl pin and the abalone shell pendant.  

This is a plastic tiger ring that definitely adds some roar power to anything.
