Style: Chasing the Moon

I saw these silver earrings while browsing at The Little Mahatma during the OTR/Gateway Celebration a few weeks ago. The shop is filled with “exquisite jewelry, folk art & artifacts from many exotic lands” per their webpage, and the place delivers as promised–the cases and shelves lining every inch of the store are filled with everything from dramatic bejeweled earrings from India to heavily decorated gold collars from Morocco.

The man knows his stuff–I’d been there less than two minutes before...

You dont have to watch Dynasty

This gorgeous dress was given to me by a former co-worker who understood my love for vintage. Apparently, she wore it in her heyday in the 80’s, which seems entirely appropriate given the cut and draping. It reminds me of the amazing fashions worn on Dynasty–I feel like I should be battling it out with another shoulder pad-clad rich bitch in front of the Carrington mansion!
