I’m enamored with everything from designer sarahseven, who sells via etsy. She is based in (where else?) Portland, OR. It is just about everything I love… feminine but somewhat modern and sculptural, in neutral and pale colors. Check out sarahseven’s etsy shop.

I am no fashion blogger, but since I’ve been somewhat following the runways this season, I thought I’d round up a few of my favorite collections.

It’s all about the lingerie of the 1920s, as seen in french fashion magazines. I really adore the revival of 1920s-1930s [...]
I stumbled on this pretty belt by Moss Mills the other day. I like it very much, but I have to think that there is an inexpensive way to make something similar. (I’m not into knocking things off, but this is such a simple idea, I don’t think it qualifies). There are lots of brass [...]
