  4. Capes definitely remind me of the Autumn. All these capes are wonderful, but my fav are Erdem & Jaeger. Funny enough i only have one cape in my wardrobe, maybe i should consider getting another one soon.

    Hope you had a wonderful weekend CC.

    P.S I have a giveaway on my blog so please don't miss it :-)

  34. I LOVE capes. I am completely obsessed with them and I already have one, okay 2, and now everyone is finally going to jump on the bandwagon and cape up! I can actually see myself parading around in AT LEAST half of these...I should probably start mentally preparing myself to go broke now..

  40. I'm still searching for the perfect vintage wool cape! Something with plaid on the inside maybe...I dunno. I can see it in my head but I haven't seen it in real life!

    ReplyDelete
  41. The Junya Watanabe is so freaking amazing!!!

    ReplyDelete
  42. The Rebecca Tylor one is my favorite because it looks wearable with anything...I'm not into capes much just because they loook too much like ponchos which I hate, but the RT one is really cute!

  52. Oh now... this is a post for me, I am the Queen of Capes!
    I have so many vintage and non vintage capes, I love them!... my last blog post features a flying cape!

    Love all of these but I guess if I had to choose at gunpoint, it would be the Alexander McQueen cape. Or maybe the Aquacustum. hmmm maybe the Matthew Williamson or... :)
