Satin and mirrors. | July 24, 2008 | Comments (0)

When: Thursday, July 24th, 2008.

What: Saucy little vintage hat with roses, bow and veil in copper satin and tulle. Silver ‘Hearts On Fire’ earrings from Kiss My Ring, solid onyx pendant with magnet closure from Glow. Embroidered cotton tunic with mirrors and wooden beading by Romeo & Juliet Couture, trousers by Elie Tahari. Bronze and dark green peep-toe heels from Carlos by Carlos Santana, by way of Macy’s.

Confession: Before we go any further, let me say that Besame’s Enchanting Lipstick in Chocolate Kiss is a perfect shade. In fact, all of their lipsticks are incredible. I highly recommend them. Yes, they’re tiny and yes, the packaging is fussy and delicate, but you’ll get many miles out of these small wonders, especially if you use a nifty little lip brush.

I managed to snag a lovely lip brush from Fresh for 75% off the original price of nearly $30 yesterday! Also, damn you, Fresh, because you make me want your Firebird mascara and I am already in love with your Sugar Lip Glosses!

Now, I didn’t really wear this hat to work, because the busybodies would have had conniption fits all up and down the hallways, but isn’t it gorgeous? Oh, and that’s a glass of Freixenet with a splash of Odwalla’s Pomagrand, by the by. Refreshing and healthy!

NEWS FLASH: ZOMG, are y’all ready for the weekend? Tomorrow night I’ll have a fancy DJ outfit on, and the night after that a pretty brunch ensemble AND another night-on-the-town get-up, because baby is going d-a-n-c-i-n-g!

    That hat is amazingly awesome, and you pull it off really well.

    Fresh has the prettiest packaging. I’ve never bought any of their stuff because I’m cheap and don’t wear enough makeup to justify it, but I love to look at it.

    OK, I was just over at Nadarine talking about how much I love vintage hats and then here you are! Your hat and hair look almost like this really cool picture of my grandparents from during WWII. She wore a very similar hat and hairstyle with a cute little skirt suit, and he had on his marine uniform. So romantic.

    DottyZ and I are the same person separated by the years b/c all I can think about are the two forties era wedding pics of my grannies, who were totally smokin’ hot BTW (didn’t want you to think I’m thinking old ladies thoughts b/c I’m not).

    I heart fancy hats. I can’t wait to wear my other one. It’s got 84,000 beautiful little feathers and I don’t even want to think of how it got made, but it’s mine and I lurve it.

    Oooh, child. Someday I will bring out my vintage Miss Dior fur cloche, and we will party in our fussy hats and attract stares.
