You have to let me know your thoughts on this one because I actually want it pretty badly (I think): Is this the exquisitely eccentric, "Baroness Elsa" objet I've been craving, or... not? PS The irony of my ambivalence is not lost on me! Please share your opinion in the comments.

I like the belt. It reminds me of the Alethiometer in His Dark Materials. Or it's like a utility belt, but say, beautility belt.

I had to look that one up, but gah! how brilliant. This is why I so endlessly adore Lux Lotus readers. Thank you for your comment, John! XX, LC

I was wondering if you had ANY suggestion on where I could look to get a custom made hat like that in the first pic?
Or is that a scarf?

Hmmmm, that is an old-fashioned leather aviators cap with a peacock feather pinned to it... try Ebay for the hat, any costume/craft store for the feather. And of course, send me a photo! XX, LC
