Inspired by Santa

I wasn't planning on wearing this dress until Christmas day. I thrifted it at a great big estate sale a few months ago and set it aside until the holidays came around. My plans didn't shift until I thought about the Christmas edition of my Sync article! The dress reminded me of something Mr. or Mrs. Claus would wear, so I picked her and Santa as my inspiration. I was also able to find inspiration in a really great Victorian theater poster from the late 1800's. I'm not sure if the new issue of Sync has been added to the website or not, but you're welcome to take a look if your interested in reading my article.

Carven

I'm trying so hard not to lust after spring collections just yet, but with this many pretty pastels and collars it's getting too hard to resist. I *love* so many things from the Carven spring collection! I'm dying to recreate the look on the top right most of all. Do you think a dress that adorable is even thriftable? I sure hope so. I may have to add a similar backpack to my Christmas wishlist, too, before it's too late!
