patch it up

 

The little preppy in me just loves elbow patches.  Noooooooo they don't really serve a purpose, but do puffy sleeves or ruffled hems?  

(exactly)

 I really wanted this stripe top but it's only for you ladies with a bun in the oven.  Best part it's under $50.

Happy shopping.

objet du jour – the perfect black pump

 

 Yesterday I posted these on Instagram* and they were a big hit.

Classic. Black. Pumps.

Of course, I knew I would have to track down these beauties after seeing them in a Calvin Klein ad.  And here is what I found…

Calvin Klein "Nunah" pump – $109

Look familiar???

These ARE the perfect black heel.  They are sexy yet subdued and don't feature a 6 inch hooker heel.  They are perfect for work or going out after.

They also come in bronze and gunmetal although the black are my fav.  

What do you dolls think?



                                         


Driving Miss Daisy

 

"All right…I'm glad it's a girl. And I hope she'll be a fool — that's the best thing a girl can be in this world, a beautiful little fool."

-Daisy Buchanan

 

I'm soooo excited for the upcoming remake of, "The Great Gatsby."  I have always been fascinated by the roaring 20s and those fabulous flapper gowns.

I recently read that the movie is being remade with stars Leonardo Dicaprio and, "cute as a button," Carey Mulligan.

I love the art deco style of the 20s.  I'm such a sucker for all glitz of the beadwork on those drop waist gowns! 


 

 

Here are some Gatsby inspired Wonderland outfits…

 

 

 

 

 

Are you Dolls excited for the upcoming movie?
