The Velveteen Rabbit

(forever 21 dress, h&m shrug, deena & ozzy shoes, ghastly tights)

I don't think I will ever tire of a "baby doll dress".  They're sort of my go to look for fall and winter.  Especially with a empire waist- it can hide the few extra lbs you pack on during the holidays (wink wink).  I love this little crushed velvet number- it's a gorg wine stained red and completely seasonal.  These shoes, dear lord- I swear I have wrecked them into oblivion.  I've owned them for over a year & 1 1/2 now- they've trampled through the streets of New York, the treacherous snows of Buffalo, pick up games of football (kidding!),  dive bar bathrooms and the like.  They look like shit- but maybe that's the appeal at this point?! Grunge galore.

(vintage blouse, uo bra, forever 21 wedge)

I found this vintage lace blouse stuffed in the back of my closet.  Who knew you could find such luxury buried away!  I suppose I'll have to organize more often.  

"Death is her boyfriend
She spits on summers and smiles to the night
She collects crowns made of black roses
But her heart is made of bubble gum

I'm gonna jump the walls and run
I wonder if they'll miss me?
I won't miss them.
The cemetery is my home
I want to be a part of it,
Invisible even to the night.
Then I'll read poetry to the stones
Maybe one day I could be one of them..."

Nearly every magazine I open lately seems to be showcasing capes and cloaks as must-have outerwear for fall. As you know I posted a beautiful najavo cloak here which truly inspired the purchase of this vintage cape. It's cozy and warm and really elevates an otherwise simple look..

I'm featured on Forever 21's blog The Skinny once again.  Check out the feature in full here.  Great summer to fall transitions and inspirations taken from chictopia.com.

Still very inspired by all things native and gothic. I purchases this vintage maxi a few months ago but had yet to pair it with the perfect ensemble.  This bustier just oozes sexiness but the length of the maxi really balances it all out.
