The Finishing Touches
A tilted cloche, a pair of driving gloves and a wind blown scarf… the stylish ladies of the
past knew just how to accessorize for a sophisticated ensemble.

Have we talked about how much we love our All That Sparkles top? This week my styleboard is perfect for a night out and to show off your curves.
- All That Sparkles Crop Top by Fleet Collection – Make a dramatic statement in black with metallic sparkles. In a black knit structured with light boning, this dreamy bustier features wide gathered straps with a criss cross back.
- Prabal Gurung x Target x Neiman Marcus Cape – Easily my favorite (and most coveted) item from the holiday collaboration, and a perfect addition to this sparkly feminine outfit.
- Rhinestone Bracelete by Forever 21 – Need. More. Sparkles.
- Fishtail Pencil Skirt by LaFrock – Lately I’ve been keen on fishtail skirts, and I love the silhouette paired with the top. A touch of vintage charm with modern sensibilities!
- Ankle-Strap Pumps by Prabal Gurung x Target – The anticipated Prabal Gurung x Target lookbook released yesterday, and needless to say, I’m a little obsessed.
Hope you loved this week’s styleboard as much as I did!
See you next week ♥,
Ann

We love Ann’s styleboard this week featuring our original Coquette Dress in Navy!
- Coquette Dress in Navy by Fleet Collection – Country elegance and clean lines with a sleeveless bodice, bateau neckline and very full knee length skirt trimmed with a double row of delicate cotton ivory crochet. Flared circle skirt provides lots of volume and charm with hidden side pockets. Figure flattering in deep navy blue stretch ponte knit.
- Merlot Lipstick by Besame - A bold lip takes this look from sweet to demure.
- Lace Day Cardigan by Crumpet – A beautiful cropped cardigan with a lace back adds texture (and warmth!) to the outfit.
- Shoulder Bag by Cath Kidston – What’s a rural inspired outfit without floral?
- Miranda T by Frye – A rustic take on classic t-strap pumps finishes off this country inspired look.

We love Ann’s 1940s aviator inspired themed styleboard featuring our Parachute Dress. We love the deep blues and reds, with a dash of metallics.
- Parachute Dress by Fleet Collection – Take off with this adorable navy blue jumper dress with contrast brass hardware. Features a row of buttons at the shoulder and zippered pockets on the very full and very gathered skirt.
- Vedder Aviator Hat by Bailey of Hollywood – Wear this vintage reproduction aviator hat over vintage waves for a 40s vixen look.
- Cogs of Time Necklace by Ornamental Things – This handmade cog necklace adds interesting texture to the look.
- Silk Lined Leather Gloves by Dents – Every pilot has their gloves! Your fingers won’t get cold with these fabulous leather gloves.
- 60 Denier Essential Tights from Forever 21 – If you’re feeling extra saucy, wear retro inspired back seamed pantyhose instead.
- Carvaggio Heels by Fluevog – I LOVE these pumps. Everything about it, the antiqued hardware, the ruffled bow and curved heel. What a perfect addition to this look!

Just in time for Halloween, this week’s styleboard is inspired by the Alice in Wonderland featuring Fleet’s Tea Time Dress!
- Tea Time Dress by Fleet - Like the pretty prints found on vintage English tea sets, this dropped-waist dress is adorned with fancy gold buttons and pointy collars.
- Drink Me Necklace by Disney Couture - There seemed to be no use in waiting by the little door, so she went back to the table, half hoping she might find another key on it, or at any rate a book of rules for shutting people up like telescopes: this time she found a little bottle on it, (`which certainly was not here before,’ said Alice,) and round the neck of the bottle was a paper label, with the words `DRINK ME’ beautifully printed on it in large letters.
- Vintage Red Velvet Clutch - Who’s been painting my roses red? WHO’S BEEN PAINTING MY ROSES RED? Who dares to taint, with vulgar paint, the royal flower bed? For painting my roses red, someone will lose his head.
- Cotton Mary Jane Flats in Black from Urban Outfitters - `Curiouser and curiouser!’ cried Alice (she was so much surprised, that for the moment she quite forgot how to speak good English); `now I’m opening out like the largest telescope that ever was! Good-bye, feet!’ (for when she looked down at her feet, they seemed to be almost out of sight, they were getting so far off).
- That Not So Little Black Bow Headband from Sproos
- Bib Apron
