I just love the red shoes in the first shot!
This cape is available on ASOS now.
(And I want, want,want these leather shorts too!)
I think these pictures demonstrate perfectly how versatile capes really are.So many different fabrics, weights and textures-leather,wool,fur. Throw a cape over your jeans for off-duty cool or wear one with a little black dress and killer heels ala Miss Bradshaw (below)...
But my favourite look is the third one (above) about-layering a cape over a cape in different fabrics-Genius! More is more as opposed to less is more! :-)

I have not quite decided if I will buy into this trend but if I do I think I'd be going down the knitted route as I just adore knitwear and feel it will be less bulky and generally more flattering. I think capes are set to be a mini trend only so to me that means if I do decide to invest at all, it shall only be in a small way, i.e. the high street! Although shopping around is always a good thing to do. I found this little gem-designer piece at high street prices!

But my very favourite has to be this sublime red cape... Must be due to remnants of childhood fairytales. Look at the huge hood-Gorgeous...
It was available on Ebay but has sadly sold out -I lucked out on this one! :-(
I just had to include this image as to me this is the first thing I think of when I think of capes and fashion should always be fun! :-)
I think I may be channelling the cape look as I head out this weekend (hopeful of bumping into my new crush but that's a story for another post!) ;-)
