I've been noticing a lot more steampunk pieces at various art shows lately. What is steampunk, you ask: it's a sub genre of science-fiction, fantasy, alternate history, and speculative fiction. There are often elements of technology, especially Victorian style, fashion, culture, and art incorporated. What do you think? Do you own any steampunk pieces? What do you think of the trend?

I had never even heard of it until Halloween. It's kinds of a cool trend. Very "Wild Wild West."
Ho cool!!! I would love to wear some of these pieces...I think they all really rock:)
Happy Monday!

Some of it verges on the slightly-tacky, but a lot of it is really cute. When I first saw it a couple years back I was skeptical but I've grown to appreciate it more as time went on. The 4th photo is my favorite...that look is so pretty! :)
I wouldn't be able to pull off the look! For those gals who can, more power to ya!
It looks very neat, but it's just not my thing. One of those trends I'd never be able to pull off. lol
LOVE steampunk! It's so cool looking! I don't rock very many pieces, but I do have a few!
I've never heard of this trend. Sounds pretty neat.

I love it! I wouldn't wear it, but I really like looking at it!
I *just* learned about steam punk! Someone described it to me as the wardrobe in the movie "Wild Wild West". I love some of those pieces!
:)
Yasi @ Hello, Gorgeous!
I've never heard of steampunk but I like it! And that first photo is AMAZING!
I love this but I definitely dont think I would ever be able to pull the look off!
The phone = legit!
Love love love! I have been loving Steampunk for a very long time. Probably before I knew it was called Steampunk! I bought a new pair of fabulous boots and one of the young interns at work said, Ooooh I love your Steampunk boots. I felt so cool. haha Have a great week!
I like steampunk, especially in fiction. The pieces that some people create are amazing.
I have a few pieces ;)
I had heard of it, but wasn't quite sure what it was until I read this! Thanks for enlightening me!
Sounds like a trend that I would use very sparingly, being a "woman of a certain age." But you young women could rock it easily!

I've seen this type of fashion but never knew there was a term for it. I love it. Actually, when I was in college I took a photography class and did a shoot with a theme kind of like that. I'll have to find those pictures!!
