Flirty Fun Dresses at LBVie

So, before we get to the cute new dresses, I have SUPER exciting news! I was approached the other day by the non-profit International Arts & Artists about participating in their Flash Market event for local designers, emerging shops, and talented artists to showcase their goods! We've secured a space and will set up shop for the 800+ guests in August! If you are in the area, PLEASE plan to come out, it will be a blast!

Now for more pretty dresses :) Both of these beauty's were recently listed in the shop:

 1970s Vintage Emerald Green Spanish Embroidery Dress, $36, LBVie Vintage

Stunning Vintage 1950s Rare Parisian Beaded Lace  Boatneck Cocktail Dress, $210 LBVie Vintatge

Have I mentioned yet, that we are moving? This weekend will be spent packing and moving to our new apartment (literally right down the street), but get ready for pictures with different scenery :) Yaay!

I've just recently listed some adorable and rare vintage finds at LBVie :)

The first is a Handmade By Eleanor 1960s pale pink and metallic sheath dress in absolutely excellent vintage condition (looks unworn). I imagine this dress being worn to an elegant summer wedding, or an evening out on the town:

Vintage 1960s Sheath Dress $46 at LBVie

Speaking of weddings, what a beautiful find is this lace vintage maxi dress!

Vintage Lace Maxi $58 at LBVie

I also recently listed some really adorable flats -- a great stunning silver disco pair, and a lovely navy leather studded pair :)

Both are $16 at LBVie :)

I love vintage clothing, not only for its quality, history and style, but for its amazing uniqueness and magical wearability. The brilliance behind vintage is the rarity; you become an uber cool fashionista when you infiltrate vintage into your wardrobe! I usually try to mix and match a little vintage in everything I wear - it makes for a unique, stylish look :)

Trend Alert! Let's Go Fishing

I have been fishing around (if I must say) for an uber cool unconventional hemline lately. We all know floor grazing maxis are a current must, but what about something more unique and dramatic? Fishtails, also called 'high-low hems' are hitting the runways!

I personally have been looking for a fishtail floral maxi that resembles this one:

This dress is a vintage beauty, handcrafted into a fishtail maxi. GirlOnAVine, $169.00

I love the dramatic effect of these dresses. They are so fun!

   TopShop

This version is for sale at Nastygal 

The high-low hems are great, you can go as dramatic or subtle as you please. They allow for maxi elegance and girly playfullness! This is one bandwagon worth jumping on, cause this trend is here to stay!

Ohh, the beautiful life!

Make a Statement

If you're anything like me, you have a multiple closets and dressers FULL of clothing...yet still, on those random, bad weather, wake-up late types of days, you feel like you have absolutely NOTHING to wear. Those days are by far the worst days imaginable. To me, there is nothing worse, than being late in the morning, already feeling like you look like crap, and then being unable to put together an outfit that takes the tired out of your eyes. You end up storming out of the house 15 minutes late, and bitter because for the whole day you will hate your outfit. This same scenario happened to me, one day, a couple months ago, and I vouched to fix something in my wardrobe so this wouldn't happen again. After many trials and tribulations, I have come up with two life saving styling tips! 

Tip Number 1: Find the perfect STATEMENT necklace!

A cool statement necklace has helped me leave the house on time since my little fiasco a couple months ago. It is so easy and stylish! I love to wear mine over almost anything, but especially over a crisp white blouse and jeans:

It's amazing how much glam a simple necklace adds! I got this one at Forever 21 for $7.80:

A statement necklace uses little thought for a lot of style, which makes it my number one style tip. Here are a few others I love:

LBVie $18.00

Anthropology, $58

Forever 21, $5.80

Topshop, $60

You definitely don't have to go over the top with these, just have fun and play around. Next time you're in a jam, or think your outfit is too boring and simple, throw a great statement necklace on! I promise, it will increase your chic points instantly! :)

Life saving styling tip Number dos:

Let's save this one for another post :) :)

Ohh, the beautiful life!!
