Bensoni's latest designs were beautifully embellished with tatted ankle corsets and necklaces in their Fall 2011 runway collection. Congratulations to Pamela Quevedo, owner of TotusMel Tats, and designer of the accessories used in this collection.

Handmade Gothic Gauntlets, Bracers, and Wrist Cuffs

Adorning the wrist is a very feminine act of expression. When you wear something handmade, and of this nature, you will be portraying the somewhat lost style, in my opinion, of romanticism. For those that want to dabble in exciting new accessories, or experiment with a different trend, these gauntlets and bracers would be a perfect first choice.

Would you be caught wearing something like this (dead or alive)?

Lust for Lace

Lace is dreamy and can be quite fresh against the skin. If you feel as if it is itchy, layer it over a gorgeous smooth fabric such as silk or satin. Lace makes you feel feminine and pretty, even during the worst conditions. Add some to your wardrobe to round out your look, or even to add a vintage flair, if you are so inclined. It can soften even the roughest, most grungy looks. Lace has been around for ages, and will continue to be in style, for all time.

Talk about GORGEOUS! The amazing accessories at TotusMel Tats are so lovely and attractive. I fell in love the moment the page loaded on my computer screen.

"Tatting dates to the early 19th century. The term for tatting in most European languages is derived from French frivolité, which refers to the purely decorative nature of the textiles produced by this technique." source

"Tatting conveys a very Victorian feel by nature, but I strive to bring a modern sensibility to the pieces that make them more wearable. I try to balance the complex patterns with simple pendant designs to create a diverse and interesting collection of pieces." - Pamela Quevedo
