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

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?

Valentine's Looks
February 1st already???
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!

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

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:
