Look Book: Vintage Cocktail Dresses

Aug 4, 2011

Outfit Details:
Dress - Swapped
Belt - modcloth
Shoes - H&M
Lip colour - (Chanel: Gabrielle #19), Lip Liner - (Sephora Real Red #20)

Hello everyone! Meet my latest dress crush!! It's the last of my temporarily swapped items. Thank goodness we are doing another swap this Sunday -yay! This amazing dress belongs to the beautiful Cee of Coco & Vera, and I really wish that I didn't have to return it. But of course I will, because I'm a good bloggy friend like that.

Judging by the dress, you would think that I spent my day drinking cocktails and basking in the sun. But sadly, no! I spent my day working in this fabulous dress and then ran outside with my remote to snap these pictures. And they say blogging is glamorous?!

I'm also excited to share that hubs and I are shooting a video this weekend for the blog! SO, fun. Wish us luck, it's our first ...and I can't wait to share it with you guys. I'm also hoping to do a little giveaway in the next week or two. Hint? I've been making lots of adorable jewelry lately! Have a great day, friends!! ♥

    The key-hole detail at the back is especially alluring as well!

    My dress looks like it was meant for you! It fits you better than it has ever fit me- the length and shape are absolutely perfect. I can't blame you for wanting to keep it, although I'm glad to know you're a better blog friend than that ;) I knew that if anyone could bring this dress to live and give me new inspiration to wear it, it would be you :) It's been in my closet unworn for years, but now I'm so looking forward to having back on Sunday so I can style it my own way!

    i hope you had at least one cocktail of celebration after working so hard lades! omg, the other day Sean & i were out in a grassy field snapping some shots and big ol' horrific bee was chasing me down. i thought about all you fashion bloggers and the funny circumstances that must happen sometimes during your outdoor sessions. my hat tips to you are in full effect!!!
