Book Outfits ~ Sandy Browns are Timeless
The first (and most major) leg of my European tour is ostensibly devoted to the UK release of Timeless. In honor of that book I present to you some outfits that mirror its color pallet.
A casual equestrian meets steampunk look for daytime.
And something a little more formal.
And here are some modern looks from the runways and street.
Burberry London 2012
Fun street looks.
And some add campaign shoots.
Not willing to do a whole outfit in shades of brown (with perhaps a pop of mustard)? How about some nice brown accessories?
And some shoes from my own collection.
Not interested in shoes, how about a lovely brown bag?
My brown bags.
Vintage one for Hubba Hubba in Burbank $30; and a little wrist muff with zipper pocket
Some jewelry that's lots of fun.
The Blake bar earrings at lanajewelry.com; Tirana Jewelry bracelet at tiranajewelry.com
And some additional accessories from my own collection.
The two I am really coveting!
And now on the the meat of the blog, some retro stuff! Yay!
Brown Check from Moon Zoom $35; a modern retro plaid dress from Haight Street $15 added clock buttons myself.
Still from Cold Comfort Farm (you should watch it, it's a GREAT movie)
Downton Abby; 1940s look
1960s Geoffrey Beene Augusta Auctions; 1960s Luis Estavez 1stdibs.com
And now, something for my characters to wear!
