new peeks: cirque fall/winter 2009

6-in-1 rosette belt

the other day i happened upon cirque's fall/winter 09 lineup and instantly found myself besotted with the exceptionally versatile 6-in-1 rosette belt.

behold just a few of the ways this lovely leather bloom can add a hint of ooh-la-la to your look away from your waistline:

look 2: glam band

look 3: tango-esque choker

look 4: modern corsage

playful brides-to-be might also consider tying one on to add a sweet surprise while stepping down the aisle (in which case something blue can be yours . . . although the wedding day hue seems a bit elusive in the online shop's color palette).

{a quick recap for those tardy to the cirque party: honolulu designer alfonsina ladogana sources all the leather from argentina (her childhood home) and remains committed to eco-friendly production methods while supporting artisans in her homeland who carefully construct each piece in the collection.}

the rosette belt ($55) and other offerings from f/w 09 can be found in cirque's online shop as well as at your favorite neighborhood stockist.
