Monday's are for Music!

I don't know about you, but after a great weekend, I need music as a pick me up to get motivated for the brutal week that is sure to ensue.

Regina Spektor is among one of my favs.  I also adore her outfit in this video. Here's a little music to get you through your manic Monday! Enjoy

WIW - Baby Shower Edition

UPDATE: Just added photo of crochet heart from the baby shower. Thought you'd like to see it.

Hello lovelies!

Yesterday was dedicated to prepping for one of my bestie's daughter's baby shower.

I spent time making little crocheted hearts to adorn the clothespins for one of the games. They turned out cute and we used them to play the "don't say the word BABY" game. At the end, everyone got to take one home as a little souvenir.  Here they are. What do you think?



I got the idea from Cornflower Blue Studio's blog. The tutorial was super simple and didn't take long at all to make them. I love to add a handmade touch to stuff :)

Ok, crafting aside, I did have to get dressed. This is what I wore. It was simple, nothing fancy, but the pink added that much needed pop of color!

Black cuff is Ellen Tracy
Earring are vintage from an estate sale
Necklace is from Macy's
Belt is ? (sorry, I forgot)

Blouse is by Paper Tee
Undershirt is from Ross
Jeans are by Old Navy


Boots are NICOLE brand from Ross. A great STEAL at $7 on clearance!

Vintage bracelets
Buckle one was thrifted
Cuff was a gift from my mom. It's from Peru and was gifted to her in the 70's

Well, there you have it.  I hope you enjoyed it!

Sponsor Spotlight

Lady Lux Vintage has a new blog sponsor and I couldn't be more excited! Let's give a warm welcome to Laura from Yesterday's Silhouette!

She has the most amazing items in her Etsy shop. It was really hard for me to feature just 5 things, so you'll have to head over to her store and check it all out. Believe me, you won't be disappointed. Best of all? Her stuff is super reasonably priced!

Here are a few of my favorite things...

Flapper feather hair comb. Sorry ladies, I couldn't resist...it's mine!

Shop Update

Hello lovelies!  Things have been pretty slow at Lady Lux Vintage, but only because I have a ton of new merchandise to list. I need about 10 of me right now. Photos, descriptions, measuring, editing, listing, pricing, etc.....phew, I'm tired just talking about it! 


I managed to get a few items listed today. The weather here is not cooperating with me...it's dark and gloomy, which does not make for great photos. So without further ado, here they are:

All items available now in the
