Lady Lucille

 

This new year may be filled with uncertainty but one thing remains true: my wardrobe is filled with beautiful La Femme En Noir pieces that make me happy. Their officially licensed Crimson Peak collection is everything my Victorian heart could ever desire and the Lady Lucille dress is at the top of that list. The dress is stunning on its own but the capelet truly makes my heart flutter!

Dress- c/o La Femme En Noir

Shoes- Steve Madden

Earrings- c/o Forever 21

Lipstick- Lime Crime Velvetine Liquid Lipstick in New Americana

The Lady Lucille is a velour fabric and features a button up bodice (the top three buttons are functional), scoop neckline, leg of mutton pleated sleeves, full pleated skirt with deep pockets and a back zippered closure. The capelet has tiered pleats, rayon and chiffon trims and a ribbon tie closure. Seriously, I am obsessed with the capelet! It pays homage to Lady Lucille while also being extremely comfortable to wear.

This dress is made in sizes XS-4X and is also available in black (which I absolutely need as well). I'm wearing my usual size small and it's a perfect fit without being too constrictive. I received the new restock of this dress and it fits true to size compared to the original run. I would definitely recommend going with your usual size. Shop this dress while it's still in stock, it seems to sell out quickly every time!

Heartbreak Hotel

 

Happy 2025! I'm so excited to promote the new Harvey's x Elvis collection! Tomorrow would have been his 90th birthday and I can't think of a better way to honor his legacy. Elvis is a big part of our family, Bianca shares a birthday with him and we are all obsessed with his music. The whole collection is stunning but this Heartbreak Hotel crossbody feels like it was made for me!

Blazer- c/o Unique Vintage

Pants- c/o Unique Vintage

Bag- c/o Harvey's

The Heartbreak Hotel crossbody is a heart shaped seatbelt bag and features embroidery on both sides. I love the pink piping along the edges and the charms are everything! It's a hotel key with Elvis on one side and Heartbreak Hotel on the other. There is also an adorable skeleton key to compliment the other charm. The zipper pulls are guitar picks with TCB on one side and Elvis' signature as well. The inside boasts a zippered pocket and two open pockets and the lining features a bunch of Elvis' album covers. It's finished with a removable Elvis adjustable crossbody strap. It's the perfect size and I can't think of a better way to show off your love for Elvis!

This bag and the rest of the collection will be available in the Harvey's store on Friday, January 10th at 5pm. If you're not local to Southern California you can also shop it online on Monday, January 13th at 8am PST.

Happy Holidays

 

Happy holidays! Today is Christmas Day, which means it's also my birthday. Being a Christmas baby is weird because everyone is busy with their own families and traditions. It's often looked over and I really had a hard time with that when I was younger. Now that I'm a mom I have a smaller version of myself counting down the days and hyping it up for me. She's truly the gift I've always wished for and it warms my heart that she loves and cares for me enough to make sure it's a special day for me.

Ring- vintage

Hat- La Casa de Flores

Everything I am wearing here has been featured on my blog before but really brings out the holiday spirit. I'm especially enamored with this hat, which also lights up! Bianca has a matching pink version (of course) and we like to wear them every year.

I don't have anything really profound to say but I'm just to honored that I've had readers for almost fourteen years. Blogs are kind of a thing of the past but I just don't think I could ever stop posting here. I enjoy looking back at my fashion choices (good and bad) and the little thoughts that came with them. Thank you for being here and following along on my life's journey through fashion :)

Dracula

 

Christmas is right around the corner and all I want to do is wear all the Dracula things. Red *is* a holiday color you know! La Femme En Noir's Bram Stoker's Dracula collection is one of my favorites of all time and I had to add this Gothic Tales dress to my wardrobe. Unlike more of their costume inspired pieces (the Mina dress being my favorite) the Gothic Tales dress feels more like an everyday piece. It's ridiculously comfortable and easy to wear in most seasons.

Dress- c/o La Femme En Noir

Shoes- Dr. Martens

Bag- c/o La Femme En Noir

Hat- old

Tights- Target

The Gothic Tales dress is one of La Femme En Noir's fan-favorite styles. It has a lace front bodice, leg of mutton sleeves, a dropped waist with a gathered skirt, deep side pockets and a back zippered closure. The jersey knit fabric is smooth to the touch and wrinkle resistant with a good amount of stretch. I love the illustrations that compose a hauntingly beautiful Dracula print. If you're a fan of the movie you'll love this print! I'm wearing my usual size small and while I think I could have worn an XS as well, I like how the small fits me. I paired it with the matching helmet bag for the ultimate Dracula inspired look. Both of these items are currently on sale on the website right now!

This dress (as well as everything else on the site) is available in sizes XS-4X. If you love a gothic/spooky vibe, you'll love pretty much everything from La Femme En Noir.

Everything is on sale right now!

The Candy Cane jumpsuit is fully lined and made from a light cotton fabric.

I tend to wear between and XS and Small in Ivy City items and I am comfortably wearing the small in this jumpsuit. It's such a fun piece and comfortable enough for the holidays at Disneyland.
