Palm Beach Round 2

I was in Palm Beach some months ago and provided a guide to my trip here.  My last stop was supposed to be House of Lavande, but I ran out of time, so I made sure to make a beeline to the store so as to not miss out this time around.  It would be safe to say that House of Lavande is "the" preeminent place to pick up gorgeous vintage costume jewelry.  The store is decorated lavishly with Gracie wallpaper, crystal chandeliers, and well of course all of that jewelry.  Pull out one of those mirrored drawers (they span the store) to unearth a treasure trove of jeweled encrusted statement pieces from eras past.  You could spend hours admiring the baubles and dreaming up their histories.




The rest of our day included shopping at vintage furniture stores on Dixie Highway, a stroll down Worth Avenue, and a celebratory dinner for my Dad's 60th birthday with family:

    That is such a gorgeous store! Love it! And your outfit is beautiful! Didn't you made a post with this dress before? I think it was your way to pull nude colors. It looks great with the high heels!
    Enjoy your time off!

    Sweet Lo-ward, I just had to pick myself up of the floor with a mop. House of Lavande made a big, sloppy puddle out of me. I would hock it all and live a simple, minimalist life in one of those tres chic bird cages. Preferably one of the chartreuse ones if you could hook me. Grrrreat post, I dug it. Can't wait to see what you dish up in Meee-ahmi!
