House of Landor Vintage Finds

One of my favorite parts of moving back to Raleigh was befriending Mary Beth over at House of Landor. MB & I instantly connected over our love and appreciation for fabulous food, delicious drinks & vintage clothing. She's got the most amazing eye and finds the most gorgeous pieces you've ever seen. I sported this blazer from her collection and I bought the most amazing Lanvin dress from her a few months ago.

This past Saturday I got to play in her new arrivals (like grown up dress up!) I was so excited about her new pieces that I asked her to send me the photos she took so I could share them with you! Here's a few of the ah-mazing dresses she's currently got for sale (either in person at Finds or on her Etsy page!)


At first glance this looks like a dress - but surprise! It's a gorgeous PANTSUIT. And one of the comfiest things I've EVER worn.


This dress made me feel like a celebrity... Hands down one of the most beautiful pieces I've EVER seen.


My favorite part about vintage is that there's always a story to tell. This dress is so impeccably well made it's insane. The beadwork alone is worth it!


Words can't even describe how obsessed with this piece I am. Embroidery on the top, bottom, sleeves and back means there's no area left undone. SO gorg!


Sometimes a gal just needs an ostrich feather cuffed dress. How amazing would this look as a mini/mod-inspired dress?!


This mint brocade number is everything!!! The prettiest color you ever did see!


Whatever you do, don't buy this dress. I want it all for myself! How STUNNING is the skirt?! My favorite part is the top - such a beautifully cut V-neck that shows curves in all the right (instead of wrong) places


A fab hemline, bedazzled appliques and perfect pockets. What more does a gal need?


Goddess in Gold is what I like to call this number. SO pretty!

If you love any of these dresses - they're for sale! Just contact Mary Beth and you too can fall in love with her vintage finds!

Outfit Post: Floral & Leopard







H&M Floral Cropped Trouser (old - super cutesy option here)
Vintage Metallic Tee (pretty gunmetal option)
Target Leopard Loafers (old - love this version at Nordstrom)
Daisy Gem "Gunmetal Fleur" Necklace c/o
GiGi New York All In One Clutch in Sand (gifted) || Caravelle by Bulova Watch c/o (sold out - updated version and on sale!!!)  || BCBGeneration #MYO Affirmation Bracelets c/o Belk || Maybelline "Electric Orange" lipstick

I don't know about you but the Floral & Leopard combo will never get old to me. I just love how girly yet edgy it can look at the same time. Plus it's an easy thing to throw on when you're pressed for time getting dressed in the morning. You'll still look polished and put together and no one will know it only took you 2 minutes to figure it out! 

Okay, you guys know how much I love a statement necklace. Lately, I've been looking for a crystal option that was slightly less overpowering yet not as dainty as my monogram options. This DaisyGem version was the perfect mix of both worlds. It's just the right amount of  in-between sparkle I needed. DaisyGem also just announced their new Gem Rewards program which gives you rewards when you shop! For ever $1 you spend you get 1 point. Once you reach 100 points, you get a $10 gift card! And DaisyGem has graciously decided to give you a jump start by giving new and already registered accounts 50 points which means you're already 1/2 way there!

So tell me.. what are your favorite prints to mix? You can shop my favorite combo below. Happy Monday!

Outfit Post: Bluetique Floral Print Romper

Lately, I can't stop shopping rompers. Why I'm just now getting around to falling in love with them, I don't quite have the answer to. But let's just say I'm SO glad I have!




Doesn't my new GiGi zip pouch match oh-so-well?! Did you guys see my post earlier in the week about the discount they're running this week? You can get 15% off your order with this promo code! (Ummm what are you waiting for?!)


 



Bluetique Cheap Chic Floral Print Romper c/o (get it here)
Bamboo "Royce 10" Lace Up Wedge via Fab'rik
ASOS Metallic Bow Belt (sold out - similar style)
GiGi New York Zip Pouch c/o (use this code for 15% off)
Forever 21 BAD ring || Michael Kors "Bradshaw" Rose Gold Watch || J.Crew Pave Link Bracelet || Jeweler's Wife Classic Monogram Bangle c/o || Nordstrom BP Mirror Aviators (splurge version now on sale!!) || Sally Hansen "Pacific Blue" Nail Polish || Maybelline "Vivid Rose" lipstick

 How fab is this romper?! It's bold and bright, has adorable details (like the ruffle leg opening) and the color couldn't be more girly and fun! I'm obsessed with everything about it. And it's so incredibly comfy (yes for real!) I paired it with my new booties (that you guys when crazy for on instagram) since this one piece is so colorful. Sometimes a nude shoe is just the way to go. I finished off my outfit with tons of mixed metal jewelry because... well why not? I personally love to mix rose gold with platnium and gold. When done right, it's luxurious without being too gaudy. For me, this look is the perfect mixture of edgy glam.

I first discovered Bluetique Cheap Chic, after learning they were based out of Kentucky, where my husband is from. But then they went and put 2 stores in the Triangle area (one is Chapel Hill & one in Raleigh) and I got even more excited to shop in person! They've got incredibly cute pieces, like this summer dress or this fabulous neon option, and you guys.. their prices are amazing. Now I know that's something any gal can appreciate. But don't worry if you don't have a store near you, you can still shop on online!
