The Haunt-ing

Some visits to "The Haunt" are more productive than others. And this week's visit proved to be very, very productive. Not just quantity-wise, but quality-wise as well.

A key find was this felted-wool blazer that - even on the hanger - looked unbelievably chic.



The actual color is more gray flannel than the greenish tint that registered on camera. It's got spectacular texture, a soft silk lining in contrasting colors, and it has beautiful brass buttons and an epaulet. It's the military look gone hyper-stylish. Paired with a white tank and jeans, this will look stellar.



And on the subject of jeans, I got a new - and big - stash of Sass and Bide!




The George and Dragon style was the same pair I bought a few months ago. But since the Ates swear by the fabulous fit, another pair would be in order. The Frayed Misfit style had a stovepipe leg which will make any pair of legs look kilometric. And who doesn't want mile-high legs.



Their boot cut jeans look great as well. Normally, I would hate boot cut jeans (and that deserves its own entry), but this one is done extremely well.



There was another pair - high waisted with some detailed tucks around the pocket line - which also caught my eye. This is the type of jeans you wear with a basic white shirt, a statement necklace, and a big watch.



Visits like these make me glad that "The Haunt" calls me whenever their new stuff come in. Getting first dibs on hauntingly nice stuff like these is wonderful.
