Victorian/Steampunk-inspired boots and pumps

Demonia has come out with a new collection of Victorian-inspired shoes in their new steam punk line that will be available this summer. All the pumps and boots are very affordable at less than $100 each pair. You can preorder from one of my favorite retailers: Redemption Klothing.

Lady looks like a dandy...

During Paris Fashion Week Hermes Fall/Winter 2010 stood out among the crowd. Hermes directly channeled "The Avengers" with skin-tight leather cat suits, umbrellas and bowler hats. Feminine silhouettes from the late 1800's, the 1930's, and the 1960's all find a home in Hermes' collection of leather, fur, and leopard alongside tailored men's three-piece suits straight from the Victorian era. Don't squander your dollars on cargo shorts this summer ladies, start saving up for fall because this is going to be the best style year for an antediluvian diva yet!













Meet your fiercest accessory for Fall 2010: the bowler hat.

I have coined the term "modern rococo" to describe my new aesthetic.

Art Deco-inspired boots + bags
