Enormously Dangerous Hence Enormously Fascinating

When I revealed this knit marvel to my mother she declared, "Another one?"
Why yes, mother, friends, and strangers: another cape. As if you can ever have too many of those.

Beautiful photos! Capes always make me feel like I'm in a fairy tale . . . Love the combination of the red tights with the black booties.

Beautiful. Love the contrasting green and red! (the forest green that is!) The cape is just perfect! And those shoes make me swoon every time and click on the link and, well, just look :-(. I have a hard time buying shoes online!

I may have to get my husband to crochet me a cape like that, I think!

of course one can never have too many capes! it's nice to have one in ever possible color, print and knit. i like how this new one is loosely knit because it shows off the dress underneath. i really love the last photo in this set- so pretty. ~joelle

Julia said...

So whimsical! The cape is lovely. The red tights and your photo location make this outfit feel fanciful/ almost like something out of a Grimm's fairy tale.

Elissa said...

Hehe! I just stopped by because I found a cape that reminded me of your Chictopia one but this one has cute little hearts on it and it reminded me of you. http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=39019297

Fabulocity in Amish Country said...

These photos are great! :) Very Alice in Wonderland....

Caddy said...

You have such interesting background for your photos. I would love to walk around those woods.

Also how did you get your hair into that elegant twirly bun? :)

Mother of Style said...

I had to laugh about your mom's comment- I get the same thing from my husband! He asked me today how many boots I thought I really needed. Tough question.

Clare said...

That's a gorgeous cape! Love the red tights too, they really stand out :)

Rebecca, you pictures get better and better. I love them so much. So inspiring. That cape is beautiful. I must ask my momma to make me one :)

My fav pic is the last one.... it kinda reminds me of the scene where Bella and Edward are laying down together in their meadow. Yah, I'm a Twilight nerd.. ha ha.

The weekend is almost here!! I'm so excited.

xx Love & Aloha

Lexie said...

that dress is so lovely!

amanda said...

Matilda said...

Mothers never understand that a wardrobe can never be too furnished! ^^
Lovely outfit!

alison said...

Wonderful wonderful outfit! And the greens of the forest with your red tights, perfect!

fashionforwriters said...

Haha, I love your mom's response. My mom loves shopping maybe even more than I do, so if anything it's usually my father who's like, 'What?? Another one?' and then my mom and I are a total united force against my dad and crush him to metaphorical, sartorial pieces! That sounded way more diabolical than I meant. And your cape is awesome (both of them!)

Jessica said...

This is just lovely! What a pretty dress. And the cape too, of course. I would never know how to style a cape, but they always look so pretty on you!

Note to self: buy red tights.

reckless daughter said...

yay! a new cape, my favorite dress AND red tights! love!

Draft of Vintage said...

Wow- that last photo of you under the ferns is spectacular! Love the whole ensemble especially the Jeffrey Campbell heels!

Meghan V. said...

This outfit is just heavenly! I love it, so pretty.

celi.a said...

Gorgeous outfit! I love how those open-toed booties with tights look like a whole different pair of shoes. And your photographic skills really rock!

Rebecca said...

No, no, one can never have enough capes! And this one seems especially perfect. :)

Fashioncholic Girl said...

your dress , colour of tights and cape are wonderful , they seem too harmonic :)

Gem said...

Gorgeous pictures, I am on the lookout for a cape at the moment!
Yours is one of the most inspirational blogs I've ever seen. Whenever I come on here, I instantly want to go and get dressed up!

Wherever you are, it is absolutely gorgeous and lush and green! Jealous! I must say, I have never tried a cape, but as you make it look so good, I'm going to have to try it! You look lovely.

libys11 said...

Mel said...

Haha you can't have enough capes! That knit one is lovely, reminds me kind of a shawl but better! I also love your dress, it's fantastic!

The Photodiarist said...

Hello . . . I guess I was a bit stealthy when I took your photo. I really liked that you weren't facing me, though, as well as the background. That's why I took it from that angle. Anyway, as for you love of capes . . . I am sure you loved Sartorialist's recent posts on them.

Lucy in the Sky said...

lovelovelove your cape! I need to go to vintage shops more often...just gotta find them now...

bestie said...

Fantastic cape! :D I am loving the third and last photos Rebecca.

Sarah K. said...

I absolutely love all of your capes. :o)
you've definitely inspired me to find my own.

Anna said...

Love the red tights. As always.

And those studded heels are sooooo insanely amazing.

indigotangerine said...

Must procure cape immediatly before spring/summer sets in for real. These photos are all lovely. especially the first and last. You are so creative with your shoots!

Mathild-e said...

Lovely photos! The contrast of colors between the thights and these plants (which name I don't know in english) is really good! Last photo is stunning!

Harriet said...

Definitely not! The cape is gorgeous, and I love the dress too.

Parapluie said...

You're right, capes are really lovely!

Trishna said...

The photo by the Photodiarist above looks exactly like a short out of an old black and white movie. So beautiful and timeless.

Ok Back to current post. I wish your dress was not vintage and that I could go to a store and buy the exact same ones. Because they are soooo beautiful.

Your photos always make my day Rebecca.

Love from Toronto

Sarah Elizabeth said...

Gorgeous outfit! the dress is fabulous!

Nana said...

love those tights,3

Blackbird Fly said...

Stunning color in those pictures--the green of the ferns and red of the tights just POP right off the screen! Also, I adore the black and white picture of your blogger trio, and thanks for the post on the shoes--I wish I could get my hands on a pair or two :)

Anna-Lisa said...

So cute! Like little red riding hood, except with the red in the wrong place in the outfit. But still.

Winnie said...

The red against the green foliage looks amazing! I love the C19th prints above. I remember seeing the actual shoes in a museum in London once, so beautiful too!

Maeko @ thereafterish. said...

Again, I love everything about your photoshoots...

In response to your shoe post above... I've been on a shoe kick lately, too. I finally caved and bought the Vivienne Westwood Anglomania+Melissa plastic shoes... and when I did, I found them at 50% off! SCORE! They are just as delightful as they look.

They look like Barbie shoes when you look at them in the box, and there is a strong fragrance of bubblegum emanating from the PVC, but once worn, they are definitely the most dainty, adorable things on my feet. And they're surprisingly much more comfortable than one would initially think, donning plastic shoes.

I think I'm hooked.

Ironically, they don't look much different than some of the bowed wonders you posted in the shoe post.

Hey, R, I'm hosting a giveaway of a $359 professional ceramic straightening iron. If you're interested, why don't you come by and check it out??

The Style Rider said...

I love how vivd the tights are and how well this whole outfit goes together.
P.S.
I love the b/w photo above this and the victorian shoes and the girl's rings!

PinkBow said...

yay, can never have too many capes. loved the vintage shopping in your post above too, looks like some great buys are out there where you live.

Syed (dapper kid) said...

Looove the cape and the red tights are so cool. Gah, can't seem to comment on any of your latest posts. Hope you're having a beautiful weekend!

Amelia said...

This is such a great cape! I love the scalloped edges.

Have you turned off the comments on all your more recent posts?

H to the izzo said...

I love the way you use color. This cape is great. I just don't get finds like that at thrift stores around here (though I have been lucky with shoes)
