Jane Austen and Fashion etc.

Jane Austen's image via notable biographies
My android ringtone is the theme to Pride and Prejudice(1995 A&E).  I have read almost everything Jane Austen ever wrote.  I am not alone.  Austen is one of the most popular writers ever and that is because she can write a character like no other.  Take a look at these wonderful items inspired by the incomparable Jane Austen.

The perfect gift for the Austen lover:  This gorgeous 5 year journal.

Jane-a-Day: 5 Year Journal
5 year journal Amazon.com $15.29

I need these little notebooks: They are the perfect size to throw in my bag.
Jane Austen Pocket Pads
Mini notebooks Amazon.com $9.95

I really like the idea behind this outfit from the blog fashionlit:

My own modern take on Austen's fashion


Lori gave me this pretty dress and it instantly reminded me that I needed to do an Austin post.  The print on the dress and the sleeve style are perfectly in keeping.  Had I really been thinking, I would have put my hair in a side bun, not pony, for these pictures.  The needlepoint bag couldn't be more appropriate for this look, though.  





The bag and bracelet were thrifted.  


I am a fan, Ms. Austen!  

I want to say thank you to my good friend Cyndee for her ideas I used for this post.  Cyndee is involved in a local chapter of the Austen society.  For all those other Austen enthusiasts, I believe the next conference is forthcoming!
