Christmas Eve is regarded as the greatest Holiday among my family. We usually dress up more than we would for any other family reunion. We cook and eat plenty among music and exchanging "non-Santa" gifts. (Christmas day is all about pajamas and relaxing.) I was surprised when I was given this lovely Cape from Belgium. So French, so Fashion Week ready! I love her. I was lucky enough to capture my excitement on camera. I felt a Lost vibe off the whole shoot. So I thought only Bjork could outfit the mood perfectly. Her trance like voice and lyrics marry well with the enveloping feeling I feel in my new cloak. Necessary voodoo.
Belgium Wool Cape. American Apparel top. YSL clutch. Forever 21 necklace and gloves. Danskin leggings. Leviticus sea monster bracelet. Go Jane heels. OPI Vodka & Caviar on nails.

Did you cut your Hair!?!!!! O_O
I love the jacket is it chocolate brown or black?
Erika! My family would love your tradition we do the same but on Christmas morning wtih loads of breakfasty foods haha.
YOU LOOK STUNNING, the whole thing reminds me of something MK Olsen would wear (my icon, and many others' I'm sure) I love the unkempt, yet pulled togetherness the Cape/Cloak adds. What an effect the lighting has on the photos too.

I have totally been wanting capes and cloaks to come back for soooo long! I think they are so mysterious and romantic (as is so beautifully portrayed in your photos)!
You're gorgeous, as always. Would you like to exchange links?
Gorgeous gorgeous look, Erika! I love the little accents of leopard on the Belgium cape & YSL bag. What is a Belgium cape exactly? Is it like Belgium chocolates? Is it actually fromBelgium?
Hope you've been having the most wonderful relaxing Christmas pj's Happy New Year time. thought of you & have meant to visit sooner.
