Christopher Ross Belts


While doing my due diligence, after spying this tidbit in Vogue, I discovered a new lust item on the Atlantis Home blog...

I am totally shooting myself in the foot by sharing my recently acquired Christopher Ross belt fetish...

From what I have gathered, during my fast and furious research, these belts are vintage and I will have to lie in wait, lurking in the shadows of eBay to get my greedy little paws on any...

Seriously, I could die happy with just one of these statement pieces...

Tons of mileage to be had from such a pièce de résistance...

Not a Van Cleef and Arpels thought would pop into my head while sporting this handsome prince...

And, I would quite possibly have difficulty taking off this hare even to shower...

Unless, of course it was to switch it out for my gorgeous hound...

But, if I were ever fortunate enough to land the fox I think I may I have to leave Babe instructions to bury me in it.

But, in the meantime I shall temporarily satisfy my buckle urge with a few of these swell Moss Mills beauties that I spied at Calypso in NYC...

Très reminiscent of my long lost Dottie Smith collection from high school...
And, hopefully cute enough to thwart any competition on eBay.

    I once sold ( plus wore) these buckles.as wearable art to be displayed when not being worn. They were and still are show stoppers. I once wore the double Eagle with a simple black evening gown to a black tie event honoring Russian Artist and was mistaken for a member of the once Russian Royalty. The Ambassador then purchased one for his wife. I have a collection but now in my eighties don't wear them but have them displayed as art and they never fail to be noticed and complimented.

    I just found a C. Ross golden eagle head belt that was a part of my grandmother's collection. It's in mint condition and just gorgeous. I looked it up because I knew it had to be worth something and holy cow! The prices on these things are crazy! I will have the belt changed so I can wear it. That fox one is to die for!
