Every girl needs a princess moment every once and awhile right? Well this was mine within the last month. You may remember, I hosted a party with friend and fellow Houston blogger Brittany, of BNB Styling, at my favorite little vintage shop, Cheeky Vintage here in Houston. Well we each pulled a rack of items we loved and this gown caught my eye instantaneously. I couldn’t wait to try it on; and as you can see the wait was well worth it!

There’s something just so charming about vintage, dreaming about the gal who may’ve worn this gown in its previous life; Where did she go? Who was she? Simply glamorous I’m sure! At least for my moments in this gown I felt like I was in the midst of shooting a magazine editorial and oh it was just so fun! I’d be rather thrilled to wear this gown to a spring gala or even make a statement at a black-tie wedding, but of course not to upstage the bride or anything… Hope you have a great weekend friends, xx.
