Golden Vambraces

When I saw these shiny, silver bangles on Le Blog de Betty I was immediately enthralled. I couldn't get images of Wonder Woman out of my head and wondered if they came in gold. They did and they were Marc Jacobs. I was prepared to place the bangles on my "covet but can't purchase" list when I decided to attempt a little eBay stalking of the glossy beauties. A short hunt and a few days later and I am a happy girl indeed. They might be veering into the ridiculously large range and require constant vigil to keep on my wrists, but they still posses the power to make me feel like a superheroine.the clothes horse, wonder woman, gold cuffs, marc jacobs, ebay, plaid, shirtdress, fieldthe clothes horse, wonder woman, gold cuffs, marc jacobs, ebay, plaid, shirtdress, fieldthe clothes horse, wonder woman, gold cuffs, marc jacobs, ebay, plaid, shirtdress, fieldthe clothes horse, wonder woman, gold cuffs, marc jacobs, ebay, plaid, shirtdress, fieldthe clothes horse, wonder woman, gold cuffs, marc jacobs, ebay, plaid, shirtdress, fieldthe clothes horse, wonder woman, gold cuffs, marc jacobs, ebay, plaid, shirtdress, fieldthe clothes horse, wonder woman, gold cuffs, marc jacobs, ebay, plaid, shirtdress, fieldthe clothes horse, wonder woman, gold cuffs, marc jacobs, ebay, plaid, shirtdress, fieldthe clothes horse, wonder woman, gold cuffs, marc jacobs, ebay, plaid, shirtdress, field

I really like the braid in your hair, too. It's very hippie chic.

I've already commented on the bangle in the last post but I didn't realized there were two: really Wonder Woman-esque! They're stunning :-)

You're brave -- things that are in danger of coming off always driving me crazy.

Nice cuffs. They really do look like a superhero's. Great locations. They make the photographs even more beautiful.

Savvy Mode SG said...

you look so cute in the field of flowers.

Slices of Beauty... said...

Bling-ed up really well!

Sylvia said...

I like the vest, and the bangles are rather excellent! And you always take your pictures in the most beautiful places. And P.S, I hadn't realized how big Nasha was! She is quite the superstar, and I can't wait to see her upcoming adventures. I apologize for being so naive of her amazing self!

Anthropologist said...

You always have absolutely stunning photos! What camera do you use if you don't mind me asking? Not to mention your style is pretty darn awesome!

yulanda said...

I've been eyeing the same bangles!
PS. LOVE the first photo!

Annie said...

I've always loved those bangles of hers too! I never thought to look for them on eBay, though, and you totally scored. Love the second dress as well!

Diary of a Young Designer said...

The pictures are absolutely beautiful. I adore all the landscapes you choose for your pics they always turn out so enchanting. That dress is ultra sweet and love how it goes with the feeling of the place. ^-^

Cindy Khor said...

they really do stand out (i mean the bangles) and although i can't imagine any wonder woman style involve here, but i just love the chunkiness of it...

your white vest looks great on you... maybe i should try to invest on vest too

Shin said...

I saw those too! They look amazing! I love that you look both soft and tough with those bangles at the same time! I like the old-photo feeling your pictures give! Very nice! xxoxoxoxxo

Q's Daydream said...

So pretty! That second dress is sooo lovely! I also adore the western feel to the first photos! :o)

jayne said...

the buttons on the second dress are so cool

i love seattle beaches and their wildlife

Simply Me said...

another beautiful dress of yours for me to covet. those bracelets are lovely, i adore anything in gold.

Eyeliah SS said...

The bracelelts feel unexpected with this outfit, it is a great mix! Can't wait to see more of them.

Nataly said...

Dandelionkisses said...

I am amazed and in love with all of your pictures, who phtographs you? They are so amazing. And I don't think I have seen any of your outfits I did not adore. You are very talented.

ana b. said...

I love that you got them in a pair! It makes them even more wonderful. It's similar to how I feel when I have a wrist encircled with chunky chain bracelets. Like a badass! Tehehe. Lovely photography. Especially the first set. The cloud and the depth of field is immensely beautiful.

Danielle de la Mont said...

I love matching bangles! Yay for symmetry :)

Kat said...

I love these on Betty but I REALLY love them in the gold! So jealous :p

Emily said...

I like the story behind your new bangles. They definitely scream Wonder Woman, but I was also thinking of She-Ra when I saw them in your photos the other day. Ha ha, I know. Certain '80s cartoons have been a weakness of mine.

Anyway! Gorgeous photos, the first set especially. I agree with Q, they have a great western feel to them.

Jolie Roux said...

The Wandering Writer said...

Gabbi said...

Lovely outfits and wonderful new gold cuffs! I love the Wonder Woman inspired poses... can almost see the bullets bouncing off of them. :)

Sales Rack Raider said...

I saw those gorgeous cuffs a couple of posts ago and wondered where you got them from. Now I know! They are just gorgeous--I love them.

Nicole Then said...

wow, the place is gorgeous! and i love your poses, so dreamy :)

Nancy said...

Ebay is so awesome! Great outfit to pair with the newly acquired bangles. :)

Esmé Squalor said...

Very power-girl; In some of these pictures it looks like nature is being held under your power. And it is all because of those bangles!. I must admit, I am becoming increasingly jealous of the environment you always seem to be shooting in.

Emma said...

how do you take all of these amazing photos?? They are so cool. And is this amazing field where you take your pictures behind your house? soo cool!

xoxoxo

Amelia said...

I love how you've styled those bangles. I don't think I would have looked twice if I saw a picture of them alone somewhere, but you wear them so well. Very superheroine-esque!

That vintage dress is great, too.

renwore said...

The first photo is stunning, and I like that the overall colour of the photoshoot seems to revolve around the gold bangles; anything shiny is good in my book! :DDD

Eva + Joanne said...

wow Gorgeous Pictures !

Divinity Avenue said...

Yay Puget Sound! Hopefully my outfit pictures will be looking more "northwest" now that I'm moved to the westside. I always love your beach ones.

Wow! I love all these photos, you look pretty as usual. Wonderwoman cuffs are awesome. And I really like the new header on your page!

ZombieLace said...

Congrats on the ebay success! They are beautiful bangles. I love the new look to your blog as well, these pictures in the field totally capture the clothes horse essence in my opinion :~)

Diana said...

i love the way you look in the dress!

Erin Dale said...

I'm inspired! Wonder Woman is the greatest. What a fantastic E-bay find!

Manja said...

The outfit is cute but the bangles make it look somewhat fierce - which is good :)

Rebecca said...

Very, very nice blog.
One question: Is this your natural hair color? My natural hair color is something like this but i always change it. But if i see your pictures, i start thinking about keeping them natural. Looks actually nice.
