Welcome

All the cute and the precious have been found. All the kitties and puppies have homes. The candy colored, the eco-friendly, the hipsters of the handmade are all duly covered elsewhere. Here I will find the slightly odd, the darkly beautiful, the elegant and steamy pieces of goodness. I am very particular in my tastes and though I promise you that I will share nothing but the most intriguing of my discoveries, you may not always like them. I must also confess that I have no real artistic nor fashion background to base my finds upon. These are simply discoveries dug up from the depths of etsy or perhaps elsewhere, brushed off and presented for your approval.

Just because the moment is mostly imagined doesn't mean that it is not worth remembrance. These conjure up a wonderful otherworldly place that I for one would love to visit and my commentary is not really necessary.

A Fine Romance

As a stark contrast to the rugged of last week, here's some romantic lace and ruffles.
1. Black white pink stripe balconette ruffle bra,and waist cincher set - vintageopulence
2. SWANKY LUXE 4 Way Convertible Ostrich Feather Accessory - Liaison
3. Antique Lace Headband - cutiedynamite
4. Dark Shades - Vintage Collar Make Over - pinkpurse
Just as I'm not a huge brown fan, I rarely choose to wear pink. I can't help but love these pieces however. They are full of romance with a bit of the antique built right in. From the incredible opulent top to the simple but dramatic accessories of feathers and lace, you are in love with love draped in textiles of this nature.
