Stolen Girlfriends Club clothing is inspiring

As I was surfing the net, I noticed that http://fashiontoast.com/ was t
he most popuoar blog on http://www.bloglovin.com/ so I thought that I would check it out. I found these pictures from the Stolen Girlfriends club (http://www.stolengirlfriendsclun.com/). The sweater gives me the inspiration to make a sweater for fall with swingy fringe. Also love the boot covers, or whatever you call those things on the bottom of their pants legs. It wouldn't be too hard to make something similar.

Nakarastyle dance clothing at Etsy

As I was surfing the web I came across these funky dance clothes from http://www.nakarastyle.etsy.com/. I am taking both bellydancing and flamenco, and I could envision wearing these clothes for both!

Vivienne Westwood Shoes

I love these shoes by the original punk designer Vivienne Westwood. They are a bit expensive for my taste at $164, but if you think of it as a piece of pop art, it seems like a bargain. They come in red and gold as well. They are also a "green" product, being made a recycled plastic!

Christopher Kane's Spring 2010 collection

I really like these breezy print dresses. I don't think that I've seen gingham dresses since I was a kid back in the 60s. I'm particularly impressed that the designer, Christopher Kane is only 27 years old. (photos from http://www.style.com)
