Charming Monsters

I sort of want to die in New York City so I can be buried by this woman.

I’m not normally one for tiny foods, but there’s something about this handmade sweets display that is just, well, sweet! The detail shots on the blog post reveal the intricate, delicious details.

Literary legwear. Yes, please! It’s a shame they are actually footless tights (and trying oh-so-hard to hide that fact in the display photos) but I’d wear the heck outta them anyways.

One of my new favorite illustration & fashion blogs is Fashion From Old People, wherein two fabulous artists (Emily Carroll and Vera Brosgol) dish up their interpretations of historical fashions and the ladies who might have worn them. The fashions run the gamut from Rococo and Victoriana through 1950s retro, with a link back to the reference photo of the dress that inspired the drawing. It’s not quite lolita fashion, but it’s all-around lovely and well worth checking out!
