Winner of Black Club HOuse Leather Clutch!!!!

As promised,  I said I would annouce the winner of the Vintage Club House Leather Clutch and here it goes
JoAnn and Nikki (sisters) of the cute blog Sidewalk Chalk. Congrats to both of them, they can share!!!!

Today was a long day, I thrifted and found some fab pieces to add to the Le'Moore collection, measured and took pictures of some goodies that I never got around to. You will see the cutest shoes, a coat and some dresses coming soon, oh and Hollywood Glam Lingerie.

Also wanted to say happy birthday to Martin Luther King Jr. a special person that made history in our country that will never be forgotten.

Shop Makeover

I tried and it is not working for me. What I mean is that I tried with a new mannequin Vonda is her name, she is silver and nicely shaped but she just does not fit into the esthetics of my shop. I really don't know what possessed me to purchase her to be honest. Maybe because I was starting the business over again on Etsy and wanted a new look. Well I am going back to my old dress form mannequin which is what I started off with. I feel that the mannequin Vonda is just too furturistic and my old one (named Mellie today by my best friend Kelly) is a better fit for vintage clothing. So now I am in the process of taking new and old pictures on my mannequin Mellie. My studio is in disarray, but certainly worth it for the love of vintage.

as you can see my lovely Mellie in in front of the clothes racks, getting ready to be used again.

I am adding this lovely 1960's plaid suit to the shop today, here is a sneak peak.

New Goodies Added to my Lovely Shop

Today was a short work day for me because my little four year old baby boy had a half of day. When he is home he wants all of my attention (such a mommies boy), and it is hard for me to concentrate on the business aspect of my life. I did have a chance to add a few items today and post about my giveaway.

1950's straw hat

1970's Lettise Clutch

1960's shoe bag

all have been added to the House of Le'Moore Shop

Feeling Pink These Days

I have a wedding to go to of one of my closest friends on May 23rd 2010 and I want to be pink and girly. I am just having the darnest time figuring out what to wear. I was sitting here on Etsy of course looking for some pink vintage dresses. Since I am a lover of all things vintage, I want to wear a vintage dress for that one of a kind feel. I saved some of the dresses to my favorites for inspiration, but not sure what style I will pick. I am going for that Jackie O Style. Here is what I have found so far.

Winner of the RioRita Giveaway!!!

Well ladies my blog giveaway from the great shop RioRita is now over and we have one lucky winner!! Jennifer who could not decide on which item was her favorite is the lucky winner. Congratulations to Jennifer! Thank you all for participating and please stay tuned for more great giveaways on the blog. The next giveaway will be straight from the House of Le'Moore Vintage Boutique very very soon!!!

Added to the shop today was this cute Blonde Raccoon Fur Coat/Jacket . It is from the 70's and in perfect condition.

Wishful Thinking for Vintage Furniture

Pretty soon my hubby and I will have to move. I am excited and can't wait but here is the dilemma, I want vintage furniture!!!!!!! While hubby loves contemporary designs I sway towards vintage everything. He wants to go shopping for all new furniture and get rid of what we have for a brand new start, well the furniture that we now have is from our old apartment before we brought this house that we have now, which I really can care less for and he can too!! You see my mother had a big influence on my likes when I first moved out and and the designs are more traditional which is fine for some but not for me. We have a red suede couch and a red printed design smaller chair in the living room from Italy which is fine but the kids have since ruined that(two boys). That would be the only piece that we would take but can't even take it now. My hopes and wishes would be from the vintage inspiration that I put together from Polyvore.

Vintage Inspired

I am loving urban outfitters right now at this moment!!! Why, well I will tell you why because of the vintage inspired pieces that they have. I went there today in Montclair NJ (closes one to me) and I found so many pieces I just wanted to buy. Now I really love vintage clothing, but I also love when a store can cultivate vintage wear into modern style. One garment that I am loving is this Pins and Needles Water Color Chiffon Blouse . This blouse reminds me of a 1930's blouse so much that I fell head over heals, it was like love at first site. LOL It comes in a ivory color, polka dot, and floral design to choose from. Take a peak and if you love vintage clothing you will love this blouse too!

Shop Update

I love when I find the perfect items to add to the House of Le'Moore collection! During the holidays I was so sick but I did manage to get out once and when I did boy oh boy was it worth it. Well not really because I was sicker than before I left the house. LOL the price we pay for a passion. Anyway I found pieces that I could not resist and even some new ones with tags as well. I just added some to the shop and more coming today so stay tuned! There is a dress that I stumbled upon that is out of this world but for some reason I can't get it to sit properly on either one of my mannequins so I have to figure out another avenue. But the dress is brown and cream neutrals with tiers of ruffles at the bottom just waiting for the red carpet I wish. LOL Here is a pick of it but it will not be in the shop until a later date girls.

The House of Le'Moore After Christmas Update

I am glad that Christmas is over!!! Certainly thankful but tired. Now it is time to get back to business, and to give you an update on the boutique. We had a couple of pieces leave, but none added. So this week I will be vamping up the store with all my goodies that I had to put to the side due to the holidays. So they are stashed away and sitting pretty. So here is what I had to say good bye to.

Coming soon to the boutique

stay tuned for more giveaways and sales!!!!

Brown and Blue

You know I love the colors brown and blue and I wish that I could have decorated my table with these colors for the holiday, but unfortunately hubby and I spent too much on Christmas gifts this year that I had to decline my decor joy. We will just have a small party of about 10 people for Christmas this year. I am cooking so of course it will be hectic for me, wrapping gifts, cooking early, getting the house ready, and tending to the boutique will be a task. Here are just a few items on my wish list that I wanted to use on  my table, as gift boxes, invites, and decor for the holiday season.

Party invite

ribbon

gift boxes

place cards

take home box

all so cute, but  I guess better luck next year!!! Secret, I already bought decorations in blue and brown that my hubby does not know about for our new bathroom!!! LOL

Winner of The Red Vintage Clip On Earrings!!!

I am excited to announce the winner of the House of Le'Moore's first blog giveaway! Drum roll please! And the winner is Rachel who left the comment about a lovely pair of vintage spectacles which have now been sold!!!! Thanks Rachel for participating in this blog giveaway. Rachel is an artist, take a peak at her etsy shop Sunswirlgirl and browse her paintings.

Off they go to Rachel!!!

Gone but not forgotten

Sold today from the shop was these fabulous spectacles that are just darling and an 80's disco beige and brown dress to kill! As I am wrapping my garments for shipment, I always think about where they are going and how would the individuals wear the item, what shoes, what jewelry, what make-up, everything is intriguing to me I guess that is one of the reasons why I love vintage clothing and accessories because they have a story behind the piece.

Tis The Season For Giving!!

Well tis the season to give and the House of Le'Moore is having another giveaway before the end of the year!! Isn't it great! Drum Roll Please!!! Up for grabs are these fabulous pair of Vintage Red Oval Earrings.

Bye Bye To Christain Dior

Well today I say bye bye to one of my most beloved pieces in the boutique and that is a vintage Christian Dior cream and gold brocade duster. What a marvelous garment, constructed so well and it is still in mint condition! Makes a perfect gift or can be worn as a holiday show stopper. Needless to  say I was going to keep it for myself, but my husband hates when I buy and keep! LOL I can't help it it is in my nature to hoarde vintage clothing. I have more pieces coming to the boutique this week that I am excited about too. keep an eye out for them. Also the Christmas sale of 25% is now over but there may be something else in store very soon. Oh the House of Le'Moore will be hosting giveaways and Etsy features starting next week so watch out for that soon!

Hurt So Bad!!

Have you ever wanted to pull items from your shop that you love? Well I am sitting here and wonder should I or should I not. You see that is the problem when you love what you do so much that you can not part with it! While sitting under the dryer yesterday at the hair salon, I decided to part with this lovely envelope clutch. It is a stunning grey color and genuine leather with a ribbed flap! I can see myself in wearing it everywhere. I look at it as a neutral color goes with everything in my eyes.

My clutch obssession

How I looked under the dryer!!

New Items added today to the Esty Store

Today has been a bit of a crazy one. I am juggling pictures, advertising, and writing descriptions for my items. Uhhhh! Well I just added a couple pieces and still working on several more today. I am in a rush because I have to go to the salon which I hate sometimes because it is just so long. LOL
