good old-fashioned eye candy

I love synchronicity. I just saw this lovely fashion spread from Elle Canada which looks like a professionally styled version of some of the things I was thinking about last week as far as defensive brainstorming. They even got the freakin' Audrey Horne angle in there!











I love the super feminine shapes with the intricate, almost over the top details, like all the beading. The decadent anti-chic is extremely appealing, especially in that setting. My favorite thing, though, is that I have a handbag just like the ones featured. Now I've got the inspiration to take it down off the wall (I've been using it as art) and carry it around.
