There is a rare breed of person that you meet out in the world, whatever world you live in, who sees the world through better eyes than you do. It’s not that they are more intelligent, or more holy, or even more able than you – it’s one simple difference.

They look – and they see possibility. They see a child who could learn to ride a bike, even if it means falling off it a few times. They see a creator who could expand their horizons to new places that they never thought they could go, and encourages them warmly to do just that.

They see the fusion of art and fashion, and how complimentary the two can be – and inspire others to see the same. 

They see the goodness in all people – even the ones you and I might think are total assholes. Continue reading →

Glamour

2 Replies

Sometimes you just want to look glamorous – and there’s a lot of ways to go, but a little shimmer and shine can add up to lots of glamour in the right hands.  This stunning gown from Mohna Lisa takes glamour to a new level with the radiant shimmer of the crystalline-edge tulle and the crystal beading on the bodice. In the palest champagne white, it has a rich luster that plain white lacks. It’s definitely a red carpet gown if there ever was one.

Off the hook

Sachi Vixen sent me the sexiest little dress. In fact, it was a twofer as it comes with two options for wearing it – as a mini or as a longer, can-can style skirt.  I decided to wear it as the mini so I could wear these MichaMi stockings that have to have been made for that. If not, those Sachi and Milla have some weird psychic thing going on.

Al Andaluz

4 Replies

I spent some time in Andalucia living with a family in Algeciras during me senior year in High School. One of their favorite things to do on the weekend was to drive to the mountains and make a paella over an open fire, play guitar, sing and dance flamenco. They would be joined by other families and there would be these crazy fun parties outside in the hills with extraordinary music and dance. There was one woman, Josefina, called Fifi, who danced professionally. It really is something you never forget, seeing someone who truly excels at their craft performing among friends and family. The dress, Andaluz, from Nardcotix reminds me so much of those weekends. Continue reading →

Monster Jackets

Leave a reply

There are some statement jackets in Modern Gypsy’s Fashion Monster collection. For example, this jacket from the Zhora pants outfit is an amazing piece of construction with shoulders that could conquer the universe if they set themselves to the task. Coincidentally, Newreem Waffles styled the same two jackets in her blog today, too – in a very different way, demonstrating how versatile these jackets are.

The jacket that comes with the powerful Hecate leather dress makes and equally strong statement – one of surprise and delight at seeing such a jacket chosen for such a noir dress. After all, when you hear black leather dress, a houndstooth wool jacket is not what pops into mind, but then Hecate is a dress of surprises.

Rainy Days Are A-Bomb

I shot this a few days ago, when it was still about 12 degrees in the Atlanta Metro.  At that time, I couldn’t fathom when I was going to be feeling rainy but here we are this morning with rain pouring down and it’s the perfect time to pull on a cableknit and these Wellies from A-Bomb.

Fierce Fashion

Maleficent from the Fashion Monster Collection by Micah Kanto for Modern Gypsy

I know I have been featuring a lot of Modern Gypsy lately, but I think it’s clear by now that we are guided more by our tastes and whims than anything else. I love fashion that is fierce and uncompromising – that takes risks, that is sometimes outlandish. I love the avant garde, design that pushes the boundaries of form and function, but not the boundaries of taste.

PAndora from the Fashion Monster Collection by Micah Kanto for Modern Gypsy

Modern Gypsy is all that. Micah makes beautiful gowns and dresses. However, some of Micah’s collection is more than clothing, some are sculptures. You can see that quite clearly in these two very stylized pieces.

I Used To Rule The World…..

…..seas would RISE when I gave the word……

I know, lotsa fashionistas have blogged this dress. But it’s totally festive and I wanted to wear it too. I just had this whole pirate thing going on the second I saw it. So I went exploring and found this nutty build of pirate ships. And a guy apparently role playing a hanged man behind me. (Yeah that’s a person not a part of build). Continue reading →
