Fall Fashion: Carpetbags!

Who else is feeling me here? I want one, or several, carpetbags for fall, and have been working away on the patterns. I like them in southwestern (Native American, Mexican) and 80's vintage wallpaper-esque patterns. I love 'em as travel and weekend bags, handbags, and little clutches, too.

That outfit is from last year, but that southwest carpet bag is still radical and keepin' on - except for a strap crisis which saftey pins have sorta been able to handle.





I like these Etsy vintage carpet bags:

* and, thank you to Paper Cakes Finds and The Terrible Tews for featuring Dreams and Outfits on their blogs!
* also, I have a few dreams to get to...they are coming soon!

Fashion Crystal Ball: Airbrushing

I really, really want an airbrushed bikini, 80's boardwalk vendor style, black and orange/yellow, with palm trees and a sunset.

A t-shirt dress like that would be cool, too.

I may have to ask airbrushbyjoni, the maker of this airbrushed t-shirt, if she can airbrush on a bikini. We shall see!
