Little riding hoods, not so red
Since my kids are rarely get super dressed up, save a few special events over the holidays, I'm always looking for a more versatile option for my girls than a formal coat. And with the new riding hoods at House of Lux, I think I may have done just that. These lovely handmade capelets, some hooded, some not, are the perfect cross between a dressy coat and a more casual poncho. The lady (pictured) is made with a beautiful tweed outer layer and shiny satin lining. But I'd have a hard time choosing between that one or the beautiful brocade and stunning straight collar on the general's daughter.

Just know sizes are limited--these are all one-of-a-kind items.

Any of the designs would look stunning over a Christmas dress, or even an everyday one, which is way more use than an equally priced coat would get around our place. -Kristen

Get 15% off your order at House of Lux, including these beautiful girls capelets, with "sugarplum" through 12/25.
