I am a big fan of vintage fashions, but it can be a real pain to find something that has that throwback vibe, but still feels in style. Luckily, I’ve come across this totally awesome vintage clothing (and accessories) shop called De La Belle, that seems to know exactly what I am looking for!
It’s great: flirty vintage dresses to dance in, stylish skirts, retro purses and lots more. These are a few of my favorites…
This vintage white dress with gold accents.
This insane (ly awesome) green cropped coat.
And this diamond patterned taupe scarf.

Today, I’ve asked Becky Klass of the blog B-Real…Happy to share her wardrobe/hutch makeover with us. I actually found Becky’s blog through one of the comments she left here on the blog. And when I saw how she transformed this piece of furniture, I just knew I had to have her drop by and share it with you. So…
The following is a guest post by Becky Klaas of B-Real…Happy.
I found this beauty in an old home downtown. She was sitting there waiting for someone to come along and give her a fresh, much needed new image. She was in pretty bad shape and needed a lot of tlc. But I was up for the challenge.
She has made herself at home in my bedroom. I have purple walls with little light in my bedroom so I wasnt able to get a good picture. I had to take the picture in a different room. The purple contrasts beautifully with the white, grey and the little surprise of peach.
I didnt repair everything on the wardrobe. I wanted a bit of her past to shine through. So, I left the top corner curled up and some of the existing teal that was not removed faintly shows through in a place or two. I added new door hardware and a damask grey wall covering. The damask pattern is made with animal silhouettes….the main reason why I fell in love it.
About Becky: Becky runs the blog, B-Real…Happy. She describes it as a place for her to explore, create, dream, live, become, love, inspire and be inspired. How sweet is that? Visit Becky’s blog now for more inspiration.
If you are always hunting for a little more vintage to add to your collection, be sure to stop by Vintage by Alex Keller for pages and pages of housewares & decor (and cool, quirky items like the hat above). Alex’s own addiction to thrifting and antiquing eventually lead her to open up this shop. And I am so glad she did.
