Sunset Pink Lilly Pulitzer Mixed Drinks Sun Dress | M |
$90
Nobody interprets classic Palm Beach affluence quite the way that Lilly Pulitzer does. Hers is a world that's pink and green and moneyed. Her Mixed Drinks print is the epitome of all that is sacred in the world of resort wear. At once cocktailian and clam bakian, this print allows you to wear your vacation lifestyle quite literally. (Look it up. If you're into cocktails, that's "cocktailian." Are clam bakes your thing? You're a "clam bakian" sort of person.)
Linguistics aside, there's nothing in the world more wonderfully adorable and utterly charming as the Preptonic ideal that Lilly creates. That's because she's been churning out her ... [more]

Heavily Embroidered Vintage 70s Chinese Jacket | S-M | SOLD
Asian embroidery often features some of the most ornate and elaborately detailed workmanship --it's typically rich, complex and beyond beautiful. This vintage silk jacket from China is no exception. Just look at this stunning work of art. There must be at least 30 different shades of various colors used in the machine embroidery. It just pops on that black silk background, too.
In addition to the exotic flowers, there are also extraordinarily colorful birds. Find them flying on the front, center back, and on the sleeves. Who needs a tattoo when you're wearing these gorgeous sleeves?! (If you already have tats a plenty, this jacket only serves to compliment your body art ev ... [more]

Sunshine Yellow Vintage Early 60s Suit | M |
$68
What do you say about a suit that's so bright and sunny? How about, "Hello Sunshine?!"
Let's talk details. The suit is from the early 60s. It's made of a wool and is woven in such a way that the warp and weft of the weave actually shows. In other words, it's not a tight weave. It's loose and airy. There may be other fibers in the wool.
Now--the jacket is the key piece here. It's a slightly cropped affair that has some whatchamacallits covering the buttons. They're really interesting shapes that are applied design. Behind each one of those details, there's a hidden button. Neat.
The skirt is slightly a-line in shape. (Moreso th ... [more]

Cute Vintage 70s Abe Schrader Novelty Club Print Woven Coat | L |
$125
It's always a treat to come across a nicely designed, well-made vintage coat that's also got a fun side to it. This novelty weave coat from Maison Mendesolle is just the thing to satisfy both the classy and the sassy side of chic.
This vintage '70s piece is nicely fitted and expertly tailored. It's got a gayish beige spade or clover print that's woven into darkest navy (nearly black) rayon fabric. This fabulously rich looking, mid-weight textile would even be great worn as a dress. (We're not sure, but calling this a coat dress wouldn't be a stretch by any measure.)
The thing is festooned with two faux breast pockets, each adorned with face ... [more]

Light Lemon Vintage 50s Rogers Nightgown Negligee | S-M |
$90
As delicate and airy as a lovely lemon chiffon pie, (and probably just as sweet to look at), this pretty vintage 50s nightgown from Rogers dates from the 1950s.
It has a lovely pleated bodice trimmed in pretty cotton floral lace and appliqueed with a darling leaf pattern on both the front and back of the gown. The shoulder straps are wide, gathered and quite sheer. The cups are so beautifully defined. We padded Sabrina for a better fit, but it's obvious this gown is surely going to be accentuate the positive.
There's a wide inset belt that echoes the shoulder straps in style. That ties in the back with a pretty yellow ribbon. The gown is labeled Rogers, the popular l ... [more]

Organic Modern Vintage 50s Dish & Cup Set | |
$60
Dated 1955 on the backs of the plates, this deeply mid-century modern dish set is exquisite. The only reason it's not staying in the lucitebox headquarters is because we already have a 50s set we love to use. You get four dinner plates and four coffee cups with this set, but we'd like to think of the plate as a very large dessert plate. See...you put your giant slice of pie on the plate, add some in the style, (er...a la mode) and you fill that coffee cup and everything in the world is right. This is especially true if the pie is cherry. Oh, and the cup even sits on the plate in it's own little recessed, indented cup holder thingamabob.
Made by The Stetson China company, t ... [more]
