Sartorial Saturday–A Caped Coat

Thanksgiving was almost two months ago, but I’m just now getting around to sharing my one big Black Friday purchase, the Abiona-Juniper caped coat from Miss Candyfloss, which I got for an absolute steal!

I’ve had my eye on this coat since it first came out in the fall/winter Vintage Glamicons collection in 2024, but I just couldn’t afford it. In all honesty, it’s kind of a weird piece for me to fall in love with, because it’s a pencil coat, which doesn’t really go with my full skirts, and it’s double-breasted, which is not a style I normally prefer. But something about it really captured my interest, so I was super excited to be able to buy it for something like 60% off!

It’s hard to accessorize a coat, but I did add an Erstwilder brooch in a boldly contrasting color, a pair of Splendette Duchess Bangles, and a RockLove Jewelry necklace:

I love the almost military-style influence of the jacket, both from the olive green color, and the removable cape, which just screams “dress uniform” to me for some inexplicable reason:

It also has a luxurious faux fur collar and cuffs, plus a matching belt:

And did I mention the cape? I absolutely LOVE a cape!

While it has a slimmer silhouette than my other two Miss Candyfloss coats, it still has a nice, below-the-knee length:

I love a sale, and I’m really glad I had the opportunity to grab this coat before it sold out in my size!

Sartorial Saturday–Suits Me

You’ve seen the Miss Candyfloss Terentia-Paz vest, Arien-Minty bishop-sleeve blouse, and Lucile-Paz trumpet skirt separately…now I’m putting all three pieces together for a great suit look!

I added a pair of ankle boots from Lane Bryant in a slightly darker shade than the suit separates:

I love a Miss Candyfloss peplum!

I accessorized with a fascinator that’s perfect with the blouse, a vintage brooch, a RockLove Jewelry necklace, and a stack of Splendette Duchess Bangles:

I love a vest/skirt suit! I think it’s a lot more fun than a jacket/skirt combo, because you can get a better look at the blouse paired with it.

I was initially unsure of trying out a trumpet skirt, or a vest for that matter, because they’re pretty different from what I usually wear, but they’ve become some of my favorite pieces!

Sartorial Saturday–Drama

Today I’m taking a look at a blouse from Miss Candyfloss that has all the drama…the Clarisse-Gia in a soft and beautiful emerald green corduroy.

I love a blouse with statement sleeves, and this one does not disappoint! It also has a lovely square neckline with a pretty tie.

I accessorized with a smart hat, a stack of Splendette Duchess Bangles, and an Erstwilder brooch.

Did I mention the sleeves?!? They are voluminous and dramatic!

Here I paired it with the Terentia-Bo vest and matching Menora-Bo pants from last year’s Vintage Glamicons autumn/winter collection:

But stayed tuned to see this versatile piece worn with a dirndl and a skirt suit, too!

Sartorial Saturday–Plaid Plus a Trumpet Skirt

The Miss Candyfloss spring/summer 2025 pieces are starting to trickle in, but I have one more pairing from last year’s autumn/winter collection that has the perfect, bold, unexpected, color scheme for Mary Blair March!

I originally bought the Gillian-Kat trumpet skirt and Melinga-Kat bishop-sleeve blouse with the intention of wearing them together (along with a vest that sold out in my size before I could get it), but I ended up pairing each of them with other pieces in my wardrobe before I put them together!

Because it’s such a bold look, I kept my accessories, a star brooch from Erstwilder and a pair of Splendette Duchess Bangles, simple:

I love the bright colors of this outfit, and the combination of of mustard and teal is right out of Mary Blair’s style book!

Even though these are fall pieces, I think that between the lightweight material and color palette, it works well for early spring!

I’m looking forward to sharing a look from the new collection soon!

Sartorial Saturday–A Feminine Pants Suit

Yesterday Miss Candyfloss released the 2025 spring/summer lookbook! That’s always an exciting day for me…I go through the book multiple times, admiring the new styles and prints and inspirations and creating and honing a wish list. I don’t know when the first pieces will be available for purchase, or when my first purchase of the new season will be, but in the meantime, here’s a look at an outfit I styled last fall with pieces from that season’s collection!

This look features the Terentia-Bo vest and coordinating Menora-Bo wide leg pants with the lovely Arien-Minty bishop-sleeve blouse.

As always, I love a good peplum!

I accessorized with a stack of Splendette Duchess Bangles and the perfect Art Deco Erstwilder brooch:

I love how perfectly polished this look is!

I can’t wait to start sharing looks from the new collection!

Sartorial Saturday–An Art Deco Robe

I have one last look from the Miss Candyfloss Vintage GlamIcons collection to share, and it’s a special one…the luxurious Alytzia-Violette home gown I received for Christmas!

I fell in love with this beautiful Art Deco robe the instant I saw it in the lookbook. I knew that it would be soft and warm and comfortable while still being entirely opulent, and I was correct! The belt is a generous length, and I love the long, flowing skirt.

I will accessorize literally anything, even a robe, so I added a stack of Splendette Duchess Bangles, an Art Deco Erstwilder brooch, a RockLove jewelry necklace, and a hair comb from Vixen by Micheline Pitt.

Here’s a closer look at the stunning pattern in gorgeous shades of purple and teal:

And of course it has pockets!

I took a few pictures outside to show off the colors and rich velour in natural light:

I adore the elegant kimono-style sleeves:

This is such a special piece, and perfect for lounging around the house in a grand fashion!

Sartorial Saturday–The Tweed Blazer Dress

Time to take a look at the Miss Candyfloss dress I almost let get away!

The Onike-Abalone blazer dress from the Vintage GlamIcons collection was initially on my wish list, but I removed it because I wasn’t sure I needed such a warm piece in my wardrobe. The day it was released, however, I realized that I really, really liked it, so I ordered it, and I’m glad I did, because they sold through almost all of the stock very quickly! It’s an absolutely beautiful dress with a lined tweed jacket in beautiful colors including an elegant silver thread, plus a lovely soft grey skirt.

I accessorized with a black beret and gloves, my newest Erstwilder brooch that manages to be both whimsical and elegant at the same time, and a pair of festive Splendette Duchess Bangles:

Here’s a closer look at the brooch as well as the stunning double collar on the dress…Miss Candyfloss does the little details so well!

The blazer in particular is quite warm, so it will be a nice winter dress when the temperatures drop!

This dress is the very picture of vintage glamour!

This will probably be my last purchase from the Vintage GlamIcons collection…now it’s time to start saving my money for spring!

Sartorial Saturday–InVESTed

Last week, I took a look at my newest wide-leg pants from Miss Candyfloss…today it’s all about the coordinating Terentia-Bo vest!

This is my first vest, and I really love the way it looks. It goes great with the matching pants (of course!), but I also really like it as a contrast to these pants, especially with an orange bishop-sleeve blouse to tie the look together:

I accessorized with a stack of glittery Splendette Duchess Bangles, an Erstwilder brooch, and a whimsical pair of turkey earrings by SUGARFIX by Baublebar I found at Target:

I absolutely love a Miss Candyfloss peplum!

This is such a smart look!

Stay tuned for a look at the full vest/pants suit!

Sartorial Saturday–Retro Pants with a Modern Silhouette

I have a couple of pairs of pants from Miss Candyfloss now, and they both have a similar, extreme wide-leg shape. This season, I decided to try a different style…the Menora-Bo, which still have a fairly wide leg, but not as exaggerated, and with a flat front instead of the pleats found on my other pairs.

I paired them with the Cleona-Floria blouse from this year’s spring/summer collection…they look like they were meant to go together!

I accessorized with an Erstwilder brooch and a stack of Splendette Duchess Bangles.

Even though the pants are from the autumn/winter collection, they’re not too heavy, so I think I’ll be able to wear them for much of the year.

I wore my burgundy loafers with this outfit…I don’t have a lot of things that these shoes go with, but they’re the perfect match for this look!

I’m glad I tried something new, and it’s nice to have a different style in my wardrobe! I did learn one thing, though…I used to think I didn’t really like the way pleated-front pants look on me, but as it turns out, I really miss the effect of the pleats!

Stay tuned for a look at the matching vest I ordered with them!

Sartorial Saturday–In Mint Condition

You’ve already seen the gorgeous Gillian-Kat trumpet skirt from Miss Candyfloss…now it’s time to take a look at the lovely Arien-Minty bishop-sleeve blouse in the most stunning shade of mint!

I really love the dramatic effect of the flowing sleeves and wide cuffs:

I leaned into the color scheme with my accessories, featuring a fascinator just a slightly lighter shade of mint than the blouse, plus a stack of Splendette Duchess Bangles and the perfect Erstwilder brooch to complete the look!
