Halter Hotties Camisole ~ Halter Top Fall Collection 2

Dressing for Autumn can be a little tricky. Here in the Northwest our days can start out misty gray, later becoming a gorgeous crisp, sunny afternoon. Not just layering is a good idea, but including a quick-change option is smart, too!

Thinking Camisole, in place of Haltertop, I've layered a rich Paisley silk twill top under a soft tailored plaid cardigan. Starting out the day in warm suede boots with charming gold leaf earrings, switching to strappy high sandals when the sun decides to break through! Moving into the night? Switch out your adorable gold leaves for a little high-powered bling with these long dangling earrings of chain & Mandarin garnet briolettes.

Halter Hotties Fall Camisole ~ Halter Top Collection 1

Wondering how to work those gorgeous Halter Hotties halter tops you purchased this summer into your Fall wardrobe? Think Camisole, in place of Haltertop, and start layering! I thought it'd be fun to pull together some fall inspired outfits over the next few weeks.

A beautiful, bright floral peeking through a Boyfriend Blazer or a rich Paisley silk layered under a soft cardigan sounds just as scrumptious as my grandma's warm cinnamon sauce drizzled over a slice of her Apple Pie on a early fall afternoon!!
No Worries, if the apple-pie-gene doesn't run through your family… Magic Kitchen.com is running a special offer until the end of the month. Their pastry chef put his all into this apple pie ~ a flaky crust piled high with tart apples, layered with sugar and spices, then baked to bubbly perfection.

1. Let's start with a "Boyfriend" Woolie Blazer in a plaid wool with fold over collar and faux flap pockets. It has a rouched band across the back with button tabs and slit on the bottom hem. Has a Button front closure and is fully lined with flannel. It's available at www.Free People.com for $168.

2. And, peeking from beneath the Blazer is Halter Hotties' Silk "Baroque Tunic" halter top in a Deep Mahogany Floral. It's made from a 1980's silk floral "Echo" scarf, is fully lined in Deep Mahogany silk charmeuse with a matching wrap-around sash. This halter top/camisole fits all sizes, XS, S, M, and L and is available at www.HalterHotties.com for $229.00.

4. Tiny metallic studs glint from cranberry leather like beacons in the night sky on these Distant Constellation Boots by Frye. They are available at www.Anthropologie.com for $428.00.

5. Love this classic fall Bombay Mevie, Marc by Marc Jacobs handbag.
This pebbled leather handbag features a logo-embossed padlock detail at the magnetic-flap front pocket, tubing and topstitching at edges with gold hardware. Buckle details at shoulder strap. Zip main compartment closure. Lined interior features zip pocket and 2 patch pockets. It is available with   $458.00

Gaslight Romance Illuminates Halter Hotties Halter Top

Never has an evening breeze felt quite so exquisitely sensual as it does tonight through my antique silk halter and my favorite bloomies at twenty thousand feet above sea level. My muscle-bound Airship Captain steers confidently with one hand on the wheel. His amber eyes gleaming as he checks his lucky compass and scans the warm post-apocalyptic horizon with his trusty weathered bronze looking glass. When a sheepish grin washes across his handsomely weathered face I have fight the urge to run my fingers through his curly windblown locks. Some men will always look like boys despite their age. It occurs to me that he's probably one of them but maybe that's because of all the adolescent thoughts his presence sends streaming through my mind. I notice myself looking at him through my lashes a little too often so I strap on my brass goggles to hide my eyes. These windows to my soul I'll save until sundown when candle light and silk will be the only thing between us.

1. You'll be the envy of all the other dirigible crew in this high-necked leather jacket with exaggerated stitching and a plethora of oversized buttons. The weathered brown leather will keep you warm from those cool breezes at higher altitudes.
Available at wildcard.com; $600.00.



2. When things start to get steamy take off that leather and show your silky side. This western themed, fully lined, halter-top will have them grinding their gears to get a better look. Available at halterhotties.com; $139.00.








3. Every girl needs a little support. So while those around you wilt in the steam you'll be firm and trim in this exquisitely crafted corset. This corset is made from a navy blue diamond jacquard with a deep plunge neckline. Your steam boy will be hard pressed to keep his eyes on the gauges! Available on ETSY from "Damsel in this Dress"; $99.00.





4. Just because you live in an alternate post-apocalyptic world you still want to feel like a lady. And what better way than with these delicate lace cuffs. Available from ETSY at "bayousalvage" for $45.00.

5. Whether you're strolling high above the city on elevated scaffolding or weaving your way through the hazy pipe crammed lower levels, heads will turn and goggles will fog as you walk by. Details of lace and silk ribbons make these a must have for that Steam Queen look. Available from ETSY at "lovechildboudoir"; $70.00.










6. On your way to your favorite watering hole the boys will step aside when they hear these boots hitting the deck. Antiqued leather and sturdy wooden heels, these laced up Victorian boots will get you there in style. Available at Gentleman's Emporium; $149.50.


7. No steam punk look would be complete without the blossom brooch. Handcrafted of watch movements and vintage metal flowers this pretty bauble will be sure to catch the eye. Available from ETSY at "dayslonggone" for $32.00.




8. When the wind blows through the windows as you stand by your captains side not a hair will be out of place thanks to this colorful peacock feather headband.
Available from Etsy at "FeatherBrain"; $24.00.

Halter Hotties Halter Tops: Damn Hot & Proud to Have an Indie Fixx Fan

Just happened to come across a great blog post… Here’s what Jen at Indie Fixx had to say about Halter Hotties: 

Hot damn, these girls and halters are hot!
I don’t know where you live, but where I live it’s starting to get hot. We generally don’t have much of a spring, it goes from being cold to hot pretty quick. One day you are wearing cords and a wool sweater and the next day you just want to be naked, it’s so hot.
If like me you are looking for some hot, yet cool, summer clothes, then I’m sure you are going to love these halters from Halter Hotties. There are six different styles of halters to choose from and they are made from vintage and antique silk scarves. Plus, they are available in sizes XS – L!
Love these models too. They look like a little like Christina Applegate and Naomi Watts, don’t ya think?

Halter Hotties says, “Thanks Jen, you’re fantastic!”

Seattle Times NWsource: Halter Hotties "Smoking Hot" Halter Tops

Alison Brownrigg, NWsource’s shopping columnist wrote a great article about Halter Hotties today, and we love it! Here’s a snippet:

Local designer Kim Alexander of Halter Hotties takes classic silk scarves and transforms them into halter tops with iconic silhouettes. These tops are so smoking hot, I can image Marilyn Monroe or Jayne Mansfield wearing one. Some of them are actually very conservative and demure, perfect for the Audrey Hepburn type.
