Pink Rock Candy – Top fashion trends, news and shopping of 2010

The Babette Epaulette website sat in my saved tabs on my Internet browser for almost the entirety of November, waiting patiently for me to write a post about the very a la mode shoulder jewelry the line features. Sometimes between December 1st and now, the website disappeared, and the email I received telling me about the brand vanished as well. So, this morning when I was desperately trying to figure out the name of “the brand that makes the awesome shoulder jewelry I wanted to write about,” a quick Google search and an interview from Splendicity’s ‘Hot Mama Daily’ blog was all it took to refind Babette Epaulette and be able to share it’s majorness with you.

The brand, started by stylist Seville Michelle Anastos earlier this year, is currently made up of three collections evoking the feel of “the wild streets of Paris at night” and the bohemian revolution of old Montmarte where the “brazen Moulin Rouge” still stands. These collections entitled “Tatoos and Stilettos”, “Cigarettes and Eyeliner”, and “Harlots and Scarlots” feature pieces covered in anything from feathers to chains and studs to fringe, all things that happen to be on my list of obsessions, right now.

I could see myself wearing any one of Anastos creations with an amazing one-shoulder dress for New Year’s Eve. I’d probably shock and maybe frighten all of the old wealthy housewives around in my city, but if I went to NYC, like I’ve planned, I’m sure I’ll fit right in.

Babette Epaulette shoulder jewelry can be purchased on the brand’s webstore for $150 each.

p.s. I also found this really fun behind-the-scenes of the Babette Epaulette lookbook photoshoot.
