Day 2: Tickets to the Gun Show

A few years back I was on the hunt for a pair of tall, stove-pipe riding boots. I scoured every boot store, country western store and "bit & bridle" sale hoping I would find the pair I had in mind. I never found the boots, but I did pick up this amazing belt buckle. Bonus points, it's got a built in bottle opener on the back!

The Herringbone Cape and Burgundy Tall Boots

There's been fresh rain everyday, and while everywhere else seems to be seeing winter, we're just getting around to the pretty parts of fall.  I promised myself that this year I would play more with both texture and pattern combinations. I picked up this cape while on a trip to Hollywood last year, and though it isn't vintage, it's draped cut and herringbone texture has a 70's charm to it.  I wish I caught a good photo of the mutton chop sleeves on the blouse - they are billowy, pleated, and totally bohemian-romantic. Somewhere, Jessica McClintock is weeping over the awesomeness of this full sleeve.
