Spooky Lace

Gloria Swanson 1924
I love this photo of Gloria Swanson taken by Edward Steichen in 1924. There is something so elegant yet mysterious and almost spooky about it. Jason Wu was clearly channeling this version of Gloria for his Fall 2011 Runway.

In fact, lace was all over the runways for Fall 2011. And who can blame the designers. When done right,
lace is elegant, classic, beautiful, sexy and adds that touch of mystery - that je ne sais quoi that Steichen is so adept at capturing in his portrait of Gloria Swanson. So tonight consider donning some black lace in place of a costume in order to swath yourself in Halloween mystery.

Gearing Up For Halloween!



 Love Audrey in her kitten mask! But most of all I am obsessed with her orange Hubert de Givenchy coat!
