Viva Poncho!

I think capes and ponchos are winter's way of keeping the free form caftan style alive. I've sold many acrylic knit native-inspired sweater capes like the one pictured above (Luxie Vintage) and I just never get tired of photographing them! You'll initially wonder where your arms are supposed to go, but as soon as you slip into one of these you'll feel right at home. Take it to another level with a style that'll keep you warm even in the heart of winter, like this poncho pictured below.

I love these poncho-pushin' promo pics from way back when...

Me Against The Modern World

I finally sold out and bought a nearly brand new car this summer. This was one of my last car rides in my 1968 VW Beetle before I entered into the world of air conditioned vehicles. I'm not going to lie, now that I've had a taste of a the good life, it seems like it'd be hard to go back to the low-tech elegance that once chauffeured me all over the desert. So sue me if I've totally been enjoying the luxuries of post 60's automobile technology. That being said, I'm pretty much counting down the days until it's under triple digit temperatures so I can take my baby out for a ride again.
