Elizabeth Cole Bacall Earrings

Credit for this amazing find also goes to Lauren - thank you for sending this my way!!

Elizabeth Cole's Bacall earrings are absolutely stunning, and retail for $208.


ModCloth's Dressed Up to Dazzle earrings vary in color (and are clip on instead of regular earrings) but aren't they a fabulous alternative? They retail for a more budget friendly $19.99 and you can click here to purchase.

Inspired by...Taikonhu at Anthropologie

Thank you to reader Jenny for sending me this inspired by find!

Taikonhu's tweed Somerset cape retails for $158 at Anthropologie.


This coat from Old Navy is not a cape like the version above, but the silhouette is very similar and I think it's a great inspired by find. It retails for $69.50 and you can click on the photo below to purchase (also available in tan).


If you still want a cape instead of a coat, ModCloth also has a version that is similar in shape to the Anthropologie version and will cost you slightly less. It retails for $97.99 and you can click here to purchase (sizes are limited!!).
