July 2009

Coming soon to a laptop near you: Fashism.com. What is it, you ask? Well let’s just say we could all use a little help picking out our wardrobe now and then…and these gals want to help! They are in closed beta right now and plan to be launching this summer. If you want to stay in the know, pop them an email (info@fashism.com) to get a beta invite, or find them on Twitter.

I am totally loving Smashing Darling! How great is it that there is this amazing site where independent designers can pedal their wears, and people like me can find unique clothes and accessories at good prices? All without having to step away from the soothing glow of the computer screen. I love sites like this because it really can be a challenge to find cool designer clothes from smaller labels, especially if you (gasp) live outside a major city. After spending the better part of yesterday drooling over some of the items, I decided to style myself a little ensemble to wear out on a hot city night.

Smashing Night in the Hot City

KRELwear - V-Neck Fitted Bottom Tunic
The first thing I chose it this KRELwear tunic. It is versatile and can be worn as either a top or a dress. Sure, it’s short, but who cares? It’s hot. I vote for dress, definitely. I’m a firm believer in showing a little leg.

Victorian San FranciscoCameo Blues
To balance out the brazen leg-flaunting, I decided to go with a beautiful relic of the staid Victorian era. This is a pewter cameo reproduction by Victorian San Francisco, and it is gorgeous. Absolutely beautiful. I adore cameos, and I like rocking a style that has been with us since the ancient Greeks and Romans were kicking around, yet still manages to stay relevant worldwide throughout the years.

Katie BurleyMini Top Hat
I will admit, this one is a fantasy. I never usually have the courage to wear hats. But really, this Katie Burley mini top hat is just so freaking gorgeous that I would have to get over it. It is made with fabric feathers, and, I mean please, how could it not turn heads?

On The Inside LingerieMorning Glory Panties, Summersweet Bra
I’m sorry, I couldn’t resist these panties from On the Inside Lingerie. How could I not choose underwear that features the Virgin Mary on the crotch? And since I am mixing styles, why not through in a little Renaissance for good measure? Also, I love the mesh fabric, and there is a matching bra too.

ZJN4UThe Anna Purse
And finally, the ZJN4U Anna purse. It is constructed with vintage-style fabric and has a gorgeous gold handle. It’s elegant and small, but can still hold my iPhone, keys, wallet and lipgloss. Winner.

Thanks Smashing Darling!
