Treasury Challenge

Lady Lux Vintage is honored to be a part of a WONDERFUL Etsy team called the "Vintage Etsy Twitter Team" or the VETT. We can't tell you how many friendships we've made by being part of such an awesome team. Our goal is to help and promote each other. There are so many positive and friendly people on our team. We really could go on and on about all of them :)

Our team started a treasury challenge that will run until March 15th. A treasury is a collection of items being sold from different sellers on Etsy that have a common theme and/or color. Honestly, you can pretty much make it whatever you want. The goal is to make it look pretty.

Our challenge includes items being sold from members of the VETT on Etsy. The winner gets featured on our team blog and our team Facebook page! We would totally love to win, but more importantly, we would love for one of our treasuries to make it to the front page of Etsy. That would give ALL of the teamies tremendous exposure, which is our ultimate goal! That's where YOU come in! If you follow Lady Lux Vintage on Twitter then you'll be able to see all our tweets about the treasuries being created for the VETT. All you have to do it click on them and comment on our treasuries! The more comments, the more popular our treasuries become. The more popular they become, the better our chance at getting on the front page of Etsy!

Here is just a sample of what they look like:

This was the first treasury Lady Lux Vintage (ldylux on Etsy) created. What do you think?

Celebrate Love Vintage Style

The countdown has begun for the day of love…….
Saint Valentine’s Day! Red is worn on Valentine’s Day as a representation of love, hence the giving of red roses which according to Greek mythology was the favorite flower of Venus, the Roman Goddess of Love. In honor of Venus, Goddess of Love, I have chosen this beautiful bright red and white two piece ensemble as a top favorite must have! This 80's Maggy London International original was designed by Jeannene Booher who is now retired. This outfit is perfect for the sophisticated professional to wear to the office and out to dinner.

The Goddess of Love was not the only Royal icon who favored the color red....... the late Princess Diana also favored the color red. Red is a very strong and noticeable color, mix red with white polka dots and you have a person with a zest for life. Princess Diana impacted many lives and was a highly regarded fashion icon, as quoted by InStyle magazine, “it was not what she wore but the way she wore it…” I challenge you Lovelies to show off your vibrancy this Valentine's Day with this red and white polka dot dress……Princess Diana didn’t fear fashion and neither should you!

There will be more Valentine Fashions to come in the next blog! Stay with us Lovelies !

Vintage Bridal Gowns

The bridal gown is a crucial element of the wedding planning process because the dress represents the essence of the bride. Everyone knows that wedding gowns are outrageously expensive and with the economic times we are faced with as a nation, budget weddings are becoming more popular ! The wedding planning process is overwhelming enough as it is, so Lovelies consider purchasing a vintage bridal gown. Vintage gowns are classic and affordable.

The bridal gown shown below is antique laced and slightly beaded. It is a classic because it reveals romance and true femininity and most importantly it represents something that has been lost in time and that my Lovelies, is tradition.

Victorian Style Wedding Gown

The gown below is sheer elegance with a hint of tradition.

Vintage Wedding Dress

For the winter bride, this elegant, metallic, swirled patterned, floor length, brocade coat is gorgeous !

Envision a winter wonderland wedding theme with sparkling white lights all around, the groom waiting for his bride as she arrives in a carriage of white horses laced with red roses and the bride as beautiful as the winter snow arriving in her beautiful gown with this almost white, very detailed coat, everyone would think this was custom made for the bride! No one would have to know our little secret! If not for the bride then it would be a great fit for anyone in the bridal party. No need to fear this coat is not confined to a wedding it can also be worn to dinner parties, theatre, opera, ballet, anywhere during those cold winter days. Lovelies I highly recommend this coat………I assure you it is a beauty!

Vintage Brocade Coat

If I haven't sold you on the vintage idea then consider this..... the wedding trends for 2011 are going vintage, according to stylishweddingideas.com, "the past is back..........wearing your mother or grandmother's wedding dress.......is trendy these days."

Have a wonderful weekend lovelies!

VINTAGE COATS

Ahhhh! It’s finally starting to feel like winter here in Texas which means it’s time to pull out the coats! I’m sure those of you in the Northern states and Northern globe have already been feeling the cold temperatures but just because the weather is cold and the skies are gray does not mean that our wardrobe has to be compromised. You can still cover up with a warm coat in style…….

When I think vintage......the trench coat comes to mind. The trench style coat has been a popular fashion since the 1800's and continues to be recreated in every era of the fashion industry. The three coats featured today are my personal favorites, cashmere, wool, and leather. These fabrics are classics in the fashion industry because they too have been in use since the 1800’s, the fabric is exceptionally warm and modish.

The featured cashmere coat is a classic and a "must have fashion", according to Glamour magazine and top designers. The camel shade is the new black in the fashion world so if you ladies are all about vogue and vintage, this coat delivers the best of both worlds!

For the fierce Lovelies, this posh, darker leather, camel shaded coat is for you…..sport this HOT tube dress along with these awesome boots and accessories……Oooolala ! Who said you had to look dreary in this wintry climate???

If you are anything like me, black is an imperative part of my wardrobe and this black, wool, embroidered coat is perfect for those cold winter days upon us. Black is always classy and goes well with any attire and it can be worn casually or extravagantly. Whatever the fad is or your color preference check out online sellers before going to your local retail stores ! Chances are you will find a much better buy with vintage sellers, after all "the novelties of one generation are only the resuscitated fashions of the generation before last!"
