In my country, we don't celebrate Halloween. But I couldn't leave my dear friends without something beautifully orange to fit in the colour palette of this holiday.

Dress, designer Depret, c. 1867-1871. The MET.

What's a Sherlock Holmes mystery you think you could have solved? Say it in the tags!

Mystery Inc. but it’s the 1890s

Who had late Victorian Scooby Doo on their 2024 bingo card? Hmm?

The idea came to me when I was thinking about Sherlock Holmes and then remembered the iconic mystery solving gang hehe

Some belated photos from the "Fashioned by Sargent" exhibit at the MFA Boston. My pictures just don't do it justice! I'm not one for hyperbolics, but it literally took my breath away, even with the crowds of people everywhere.

evening dress by the House of Worth (c.1880); owned by Sarah Choate Sears, who Sargent painted in another dress in 1889

reflection of Ellen Terry as Lady Macbeth (1889); costume designed by Alice Comyns Carr and created by Ada Nettleship

evening dress with matching shoes by the House of Worth (c.1895)

Mrs. Charles E. Inches (Louise Pomeroy) (1887); dress made in 1887 and likely altered 1902. Louise was pregnant at the time of her portrait, and if you look very closely, you can see the dress skirt has adjustable panels to accommodate a changing body.

Elevator in Vienna, Designed by Otto Wagner in 1898

The Majolika House, designed by Otto Wagner and constructed in 1898 in Vienna, Austria, is a distinguished example of Art Nouveau architecture. Notably, it features an elegant elevator that harmonizes with the building's intricate design, enhancing its overall aesthetic appeal.
