Beetle Mania.

Beetles.

I love 'em.

I think it has to do with their oddly alluring iridescence and primitive aesthetic. 

I think they're cool. 

This dress is actually made of beetle wings. It was worn by Ellen Tracy as Lady Macbeth in 1888.

So I bid you good day. 

Dress with beetles in mind. Decorate with beetles in mind. Accessorize with beetles in mind.

Chase-Ash.

This outfit is the epitome of comfort and understated edge.

I adore the long-sleeve pocket t; it's so very simple. And I cannot get enough of my new cranberry colored Chaseash skirt; it's absolutely amazing.

My friend Ashley over at Local Honey is the genius behind Chaseash. Check her out. Her latest collection (of which my skirt was born) is a lesson in easy fabrics paired with chiffon flares. It's all extremely unique yet surprisingly wearable.

AND Ashley is sweet to boot. Being that this is the actual skirt that went down the runway during Local Honey's latest show, and I am in no way similar to a glamazon model, some minor adjustments to the garment were necessary. Ashley kindly obliged. Can't beat that with a stick, eh?
