An oxford blouse and oversize blazer is always a chic go-to for me :) This awesome LPM blazer goes with just about everything!
I recently bought this cute vintage fall floral clutch at Butler & Claypool. B&C is stocked with super cool, well curated vintage pieces :) You can check them out on Etsy, here

 

 

 

 

Behind the scenes

This outfit was intended to be an outfit post - but with the busyness of the day, that never happened. Instead my friend took, what she called, a "blogger behind the scenes" shot of me reviewing photos from a previous event. I apparently felt very pink that day :)

The other day I wore navy socks with my leopard flats - which lead to lots of funny stares - I thought it was quite entertaining. I didn't intend to match my socks to my purse - but I quite like it! This blazer is one of my new favs, the cream houndstooth and metallic nude acetate lining is such a pretty pairing.

Happy Monday loves!

Thirsting for Thursday...Vintage, Vintage, Vintage!

As you know, I sell vintage - but aside from this, you should know that I LOVE VINTAGE. I appreciate so many different styles and trends from so many different eras. I've currently been coveting bright colored blazers, oversize everything and silk silk silk!

All of these items and more can be found at La Belle Vie Vintage


Another favorite vintage store of mine is La Petite Marmoset

Katherine (the owner) is brilliant! - stay tuned for some exciting news with LBVie and LPM! :o)


Also, quick little feature to share! LBVie was featured on refinery29 this morning as part of one of the 8 reasons why R29 loves D.C.!
