The Sammy Miller

leave a comment »

When Sir Richard Branson made his inaugural tourist space flight in 2010, he wore a specially-made Belstaff jacket. Founded in England in 1924, Belstaff is famed for high-performance jackets, worn by motorcyclists and pilots. One of my favorites is Belstaff’s “Sammy Miller” biker jacket, named after the 1950s motorcycle legend. At $1085, the price tag is painful, but this is one of those jackets you will wear until death do you part, most likely diving out of an airplane or in a fiery motorcycle crash. Available on mrporter.com.

Glittery Goddess Gown

If you like that Badgley Mischka caftan I posted earlier this week, but frowned at the $495 price tag, perhaps you will be interested in this vintage 1970s batwing gown trimmed with sparkly sequins and draped like a goddess. Current bid on eBay is $9.99. Click on the image below to see the actual listing.

Ankle Adoration

Anyone can wear an anklet (although they shouldn’t), but it takes a special woman to pull off peacock ankle spats. Are you that woman? These lovelies are made to order by jdotdesigns on etsy. Click on the image below to see the listing.
