The Wandering Life


On my drive back home I made a detour to a funny store in Lucketts that I enjoyed shopping at when I lived in Pennsylvania. Every nook and cranny in the three-story house is filled with interesting little bits and bobs; the curiosities even spill out into the yard. The third story houses some really lovely vintage pieces and I certainly could not resist walking away without a few pieces to add to my own collection.
Nearly as sweet as my new acquisitions? A short video I shot; I really enjoy making these silly little things. Once again I'm wearing my favorite dress from Trashy Diva. It's seriously such a fantastic piece; layered up it works wonderfully for day, but I love the fact that it's also rather fancy.
Outfit details:
Tulle coat
Deux Lux purse
H&M jacket
Clinque red, red, red lipstick

I wish I could open a shop like that. It's such a cool idea, and you get to discover so many things. It's the hunt that makes it so special.

What a charming video! That store looks so fascinating too - now I want to visit when I'm back in VA.

hattitude said...

i am in LOVE with the video you posted ahah, so cute. very artistic.

can i ask you what the song is that you put with it? who the band is?

my email is hattitude@live.com. i really liked them! thanks so much!

Rebecca, The Clothes Horse said...

@hattitude, it says it in the end of the video, "song by: Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros"

This is absolutely my favourite way you've worn this dress so far! Who would've known it would go so perfectly with that jacket? Just great, and the store looks fun too! : )

You need a brilliantly colored umbrella and a huge New Orleans band all around you. This ensemble is like a big party.

Mae Lu said...

Wow, the detail on the embroidery... *detail*... is really, really exquisite. That is a great find. I remember seeing your tweets about the vintage shop... It seems like a treasure trove.

Also, your hats bring to mind this month's article about Dita Von Teese in Elle US.. she has about 400 vintage hats she has collected over the years. I don't particularly like her, but her style is pretty freakin' iconic.

That store looks amazing! And I love your outfit! I love how the gold on the jacket matches the gold on your dress! <3

Oh, so fancy-shmancy! The pairing of the jacket and the dress is utter perfection. <3 plus I love all the skirt twirling in the video. (:

You look like a long-lost Romanov in this gorgeous gold-embellished outfit, Rebecca!

Trés Awesome said...

Romanov is a perfect comparison, you really do look like an eastern european princess!

That's a lovely jacket, and what a lovely place to shop! I've never been too bothered with decor because I've lived in so many temporary rented houses, but now my boyf and I are planning to buy a house. I've found myself admiring coffee tables and such.

Imogen said...

This outfit is perfection. I wish I had your wardrobe and your hair too for that matter.

Becky said...

I saw your guest post where you remixed this dress, and while all of the remixes were amazing as usual, I love this dress with the jacket! I think it is the perfect combination!

megannielsen said...

I love your videos! and this outfit is gorgeous - i'm not surprised it's your favourite dress!

ashe mischief said...

Seeing how you wear fleur de lis' is so inspiring! In New Orleans its so easy to get caught up in the symbolism and the Saints... but you manage to make me reconsider how I can wear them.

Juliet said...

I love that jacket!

Love the jacket. One of a fashion blogger also post on her blog wearing same jacket. Nonetheless, both of you look good in them.

@Anonymous, thanks for sharing! I just saw it on dailyfashionboost.blogspot.com (who I secretly think looks like I did when I was a little younger) too. It might just be popular in the blogsphere. :)

The detailing on your jacket is just awesome.
