Lavender and Lace: a Lalamagic outfit post

Outfit Details:

In Love With Lavender Lace Dress: Lalamagic

And Mary rocking horse necklace: ASOS (on sale!)

White peep-toe flats: ASOS

Lilac flower ring: LeffKatya

Flower crown: DIY 

I have loved this beautiful, delicate dress from the moment I saw it on the Lalamagic website.  When Gracelys of Lalamagic reached out to me to review some items and to become an affiliate for her vintage-inspired boutique, this was the first piece that came to mind.  I ordered it right away -- albeit hesitantly, since I was afraid it wouldn't fit.  Amazingly, the stretch in this dress is the perfect amount for my frame, and it ended up fitting perfectly.  I could not have been more thrilled.

And so it hung in my closet, waiting for the perfect opportunity to be showcased.  I knew I wanted to wear a flower crown with it, because it's so dreamy that it begs for one.  I wanted to try my hand at making one myself, since none of the ones I've bought seemed to be right.  This was my first attempt at making one, and I'm pretty pleased with the result (though I know what I'll do differently for the next one I make).  It's just as romantic-looking as I'd envisioned, at the very least.  

  

This field is further down on my street, right next to a historic path (which is now mostly a bicycle path) that leads into the next town over.  It doesn't even look like it could be in the same state though, right?  I've been wanting to take photos here for a while.  I think it's a nice change of scenery.

That is a vulture(!!!)... it's like a completely different world!

Lalamagic is one of the first places I look for quirky, romantic prints and unique silhouettes.  The online shop just got in a bunch of truly wonderful pieces that I couldn't resist sharing!

I Love Gingham Cropped Top

Joyful Daisies Cropped Top

Have a Cup of Tea Cropped Top

French Village Bow Top

Macaroon Bow Top

Rosy French Patisserie Cropped Top

Vintage Vanity Top

A Day of Pastel Top

Minty Love Tank Top

Day Dream Denim Pinafore Dress

I am very much in love with all of these!  I think the French Village print top is my absolute favorite, followed by the little ruffled gingham crop top with the tea cup embroidery.  All of their pieces are so darling (don't even get me started on the cat-themed jewelry), and I love that Lalamagic also offers free worldwide shipping, as well as free returns and exchanges.  Because I shop online so much, those things matter to me quite a bit, and they definitely determine my brand loyalty.  If any of these pieces entice you, be sure to check out this darling, vintage-inspired shop.  I'd love to hear if you've found a favorite piece at Lalamagic, too!

Have a beautiful weekend!

Come Sail Away: a Lalamagic outfit post

Outfit Details:

Simply Nautical Dress: Lalamagic

Wide red belt: Pinup Girl Clothing

Professor of Pop Flat: ModCloth

Anchor bracelet: ModCloth (free with purchase)

I adore this little sailor dress from adorable vintage-inspired boutique, Lalamagic!  When Gracelys, the lovely lady behind Lalamagic, reached out to me to see if I wanted to become an affiliate for her online shop, I jumped at the chance!  They carry such adorable items - everything from dresses with novelty cupcake prints to cat jewelry and detachable scalloped collars.  And I am always a fan of companies who offer free worldwide shipping AND free returns and exchanges!!  I'm truly touched that Gracelys would personally reach out to me -- she is a total sweetheart!

I ended up wearing this outfit for our belated 4th of July party this past Saturday.  This dress made me feel so special and patriotic, but doesn't feel costume-y in the slightest.  It's the perfect balance for someone who loves to have a theme to her outfits, like I do!  And I absolutely love the sheer hem with the ric-rac trim!  And the collar!  I'm gushing.

Gracelys is so sweet, in fact, that she is offering you, my wonderful readers, a fabulous 15% discount on anything in the Lalamagic shop!  Just use the code soubrette at check-out!  This code is valid only until July 15th, so I hope you find some vintage-inspired lovelies to use it on!  Thank you, Gracelys!!

I'm still drooling over some more items from Lalamagic - and this dress is just one of three pieces that I purchased.  I also have a pair of adorable hippie-inspired shorts, and a goooorgeous light lilac dress that I cannot wait to show you!  I also think their size chart is adorable; instead of listing conventional sizes, they're named after female cultural icons, like Twiggy and Audrey Hepburn.

If you enjoy my sense of style, I think you'll really like the pieces that Lalamagic carries!  Which item is your favorite in the shop?  I'd love to hear your feedback in the comments!  And don't forget to use the code soubrette for 15% off (and if you do get something, tell me what it was so I can live vicariously through you, hehe)!  :)

Have a wonderful Tuesday!
