Pretty Things I Found
These are the reasons I love my job! I found some real beauties yesterday.
Some of these have already been added to the shop. The rest will be listed by the end of the week. The black with sea foam green was sold in record time!
I have a ton of men's ties that are also coming to the shop. There are just way too many to put on here.
I hope you enjoyed the sneak peeks :)

What I Wore - Valentine's Day Edition
Hello chickadees! I hope your Valentine's Day was magical. We actually celebrated our Vday the past 2 weekends. The weekend before last we went and had massages, then dinner and drinks. This past weekend, we went over to Louisiana to Delta Downs for a little gambling. We had a lot of fun even though we didn't hit any big jack pots :(
Anyhoo, this is the outfit I would have worn, had we gone out. I was supposed to wear it for my Galentine's Day date with my girl friends, but that got canceled. So, I decided to dress up and show you guys anyway.
I hope you liked it! As you can see, the 80's still hold a special place in my heart ♥

Football Fashion
I realize you can mix the 2 together! Not only that, but handmade and vintage fashion at that. Check it out:

| My besties sans Bri who wasn't there when we took this. From left to right: Monica, Sarah, Me and Arnold lurking in the back. |

I wore a plain white T that I decorated with the Patriots logo. I just looked up their logo on the internet, traced it with a pen, pinned it under my shirt and used fabric markers to do the rest. I layered it with a dark blue long sleeve T underneath.
Overall, we had a great time. I won almost all the end of the quarter pots...yay me!
The half time show was awesome. Madonna killed it. I heard she had even pulled a hamstring earlier in the week and STILL performed! I tell ya, I want to be able to rock like her at 53! Between her performance and the David Beckham commercial, my eyes were glued to the television!
How did you spend your Super Bowl Sunday?

Do you have your Valentine's day attire squared away? I was lucky enough to find my vintage dress from a fellow vintage seller right here in Houston (watch for the WIW post).
I'm sure not everyone has been lucky enough to find that perfect outfit though. Well, that's what I'm here for! I've been perusing the Etsy site to find some date worthy finds for you. Beware though....I couldn't just pick a few items.
Here are my picks. They are sure to make heads turn!
50's Heart at Ease Dress by Stutterin Mama
80's Red & Black Suede Boots by My Favorite Vintage
Mexican Bolero by Forager Shop
1940's Red Satin Heels by Zwzzy - to DIE for!
Hot Pink Lingerie by Lady Monette
50's Party Dress by adVintagous
60's Enamel Brooch by Vintage Eclecticity
Remember, you can mix and match these items with modern pieces to make a look uniquely yours. I would love to see your Valentine's Day outfits. Want to share? Email them to ladyluxvintage at gmail dot com and you could be featured on the blog!
None of these your style? There are literally thousands of items on Etsy for you to choose from to suit your taste.
Happy hunting!
