HEIRLOOMS-TO-BE

Anna Sheffield is the latest jewelry designer to join Bona Drag. She is a multifaceted designer and an all-around talented lady. Her training in costume design, welding and blacksmithing seem to inform one another, so she's able to create timeless, elegant jewelry without being too fussy. The simplicity and classic quality to her designs fit with any style or time period. Ya know, the kind of jewelry you wish your great grandmother left you.
I asked these ladies what their favorites were..

Lillian - the Chasse Garnet Pinky Ring

Stevie - the Black Onyx Eleonore Ring

Marlene - the Gold Eleonore Ring

Nina - The Green Amethyst Eleonore Cocktail ring (duh)

Siouxsie - Even though you thought she'd choose Onyx, nope - she already has one. She likes the Solitaire better so leave her alone.
p.s. Anna Sheffield's recent collaboration with Lindsey Thornburg will also be added to the shop within the next day or two.

SEUDE BOOTS

This is what we've been stompin around in lately. John is trying to call "no heels on the new hardwood floors". Shyeah right.

BACK FROM THE DEAD WITH SHAKUHACHI

We're back, getting settled in our cute new midwest lives. We'll post some documentation soon. More importantly, can you even believe these god damn dresses? Just added the new Shakuhachi collection.

IMITATION

We absolutely love Tara Subkoff's new label, Imitation. Subkoff once again proves to be an amazingly talented designer with her latest line of dresses and capes:
Gorgeously thick lace and delicate silk fabrics strike the perfect balance of vintage and modern. The subtle color palette of light blues, peaches and ivory allows attention to the beautiful fabrics and striking silhouettes. Although this shade of blue is especially incredible..
Imitation seems to have more of an emphasis on wearability than Subkoff's earlier label, Imitation of Christ, although her vintage inspirations are still apparent. She cohesively blends the most interesting elements of different time periods and manages to make it look fresh. Her designs are a little bit classic, but new. A little bit sexy, but adorable, and a little bit glamorous, but playful.
It's not every day I see a collection that makes me wonder "what would I look like if I were a hollywood-femme-fatale-white-fairy-gothic-ballerina?

Nice work, Tara... Nice work.

CURATOR

We just added two super wide leg styles from Curator (formerly She-Bible). I'm adding the photos they took for their site here as well cause I think they're styled really cute.
We have them in black only. These look exceptionally good on the curvy ladies.
