Steampunk Sunday: Menswear

As much as I love Steampunk Dresses, I have to give the gents their due. Some of the men's costume's I've seen are beautiful and incredibly intricate. So, here's to the men of Steampunk!

How many different Steampunk "characters" can you find in this picture?

I love the striped shirt with the vest. I love when a man wears a vest.

Thought women were the only ones who could rock lacings? This is an awesome vest for an adventurer or rake to sport.

A very dapper gentleman sporting a very complicated looking gas-pack. I wonder what he's up to . . .

The suit looks deceptively simple but that hair is rockin'!

Oh my, is that a Steampunk kilt? Be still my heart!

I really do love the Steampunk gentlemen.

Next week I'll be showcasing Steampunk versions of some characters you may recognize and some you may not.

Have something Steampunk you'd like me to showcase? Leave me a note in the comments or shoot me an e-mail. I love supporting small businesses and artisans with a flair for the dramatic.

Steampunk Sunday: Accessories

I believe I've mentioned before how much I love the Steampunk aesthetic. 

Have I? Oh, good. 

Now, while you can get away with Steampunk cosplay at conventions and other events, there are times in your life when it's just not appropriate. 

That's where the accessories come in. For example, look at some of these necklaces: 

The tiny gears and writing just make this necklace. I can see wearing it as a statement piece with an otherwise professional looking outfit, or a pendant with a casual one. 

A clockwork dragonfly! Another beautiful pendant to wear with almost anything. 

I love the gems in this piece. The whole thing is so delicate and lovely, I would love to see somebody wear this with a cocktail dress. 

Need something to wear with a jacket? This delicate little brooch will do just the trick.

But remember, Steampunk isn't just for the ladies! There is some beautiful work out there for the gentlemen, as well. 
Like these Steampunk cufflinks. Just the thing to add a little bit of awesome to an otherwise boring suit. 

And for those gentlemen who wear long ties, a Steampunk Tie Clip. 

These are just a few of the ways to add a little bit of steam to your life. 

Done something with Steampunk? Have pictures to share? Let me know about it!

Coming soon: Hats! Technology! Goggles! Books!
