Carnivale

Once upon a time there was a dark little show called Carnivale. It explored human nature and all that that implies: good and evil, love and hate, hard times, good times... It only lasted for two seasons (and I'm just now finishing up watching the second season) but it's made an impact on me. Not just the story but also the cinematography. You know I love a historically accurate television series (see the Mad Men post below) and the designers of Carnivale did an excellent job of transporting me to this era.

This era is not a particular favorite of mine in regards to interior design (too many hard sofas and wood panelled walls) or fashion (all of those drop waists and shift dresses - no thank you). BUT one thing that I've loved seeing is all of the lounge wear. Such beautiful florals and silks and girliness.
Vintage Lingerie
One of the ladies of the Carnivale has a robe very similar to that one on the far left and I'm in love with it. Unfortunately, all four of these pieces have been sold, but this site has a lot of other great items (including some amazing vintage dresses).
