I have a certain predilection for velvet devore AKA velvet burnout.
Laura Ashley Silk Devore Handkerchief Hem Dress (Size US 10: $37). Velvet devore and bias cut are a popular match for good reason.
Lilac Silk Devore Dress (Size US 12: $98). A uniquely pretty color with that gorgeous icy flash from the velvet.
Vionnet Silk Devore Scarf ($195). I think this is divine! Perfect summer evening cover-up.
Fun fact, I made my own velvet burnout fabric for my RISD thesis collection. I don’t remember the process being particularly difficult! Maybe a fun thing to try again…
1950’s Twill Scarf ($45). Please, let me be the Woman in the Dog Scarf!
Giorgio Armani Suede Flats (Size IT 37.5: $115). If these were The Row, girlies would be lining around the block to pay $399 for them at an overcrowded sample sale.
Romeo Gigli Wool Jacket (Men’s Large: $129). These subtle cave-painting-esque markings intrigue me. Hopefully they look more intentional in person (and less like oil stains) because, wow, what a sumptuous jacket!
Lorcan Mullany for Bellville Sassoon Silk Flower Applique Top (Size US 10: $62). They were simply doing eveningwear better in England in the 90s. The Fairy Tale theater vibes were flowing. This is just so pretty!
TRR has the same pair of St. John Collection gold leather pants in size 02 and size 10. Take your pick and hit the strip!
1960’s Shot Glass/ Measuring Cup ($20). Now, besides being a gag, I think this would actually be a helpful little kitchen tool for your tipples.
The sleeves of this D+G Silk Blouse (Size M: $94.50) will look fabulous cascading out of your coat cuffs, just don’t wear it to dinner as they would inevitably end up dipping into someone else’s soup.
Perfect Red Leather Amalfi Pumps (Size 8AA: $39.99). The brand mark here looks like 60’s or 70’s, in which case, their condition appears amazing. And they come with the shoe tree pictured!
Another one for the pup lovers. A unique hand-painted angel on a white sweatshirt (Size XL: $58). No crusty eyes here! Sat on her little pillow she reminds me of her (me btw):
