store spotlight - lost and found vintage

WHO: Lost and Found Vintage, Royal Oak, MI

WHAT: This is one of those stores that I never leave empty handed, so much so that if I am in need of a vintage 'fix' I cross the border at Detroit and take a quick trip up Woodward Ave to visit this little gem.  I've amassed a nice little collection of dresses and accessories over the years from Lost and Found last seen here, and here, and here. The girls in the shop are a pleasure to visit with and I can always depend on them to provide some inspiration.

WHERE: 510 S Washington Ave, Royal Oak, MI.

fields of lavender

I guess the best advise I can give when you find the perfect dress and have nowhere to wear it, is to simply imagine and don't let the scorching mid day sun discourage you.  I probably looked nuts when I departed the ferry for a weekend at the cottage, with a garment bag full of dresses and more heels than flip flops but when my host mentioned the most glorious lavender field not far from her place, my imagination went into high gear.  Thanks so much to my friend Cathy for stepping in as my photographer and capturing my fantasy.
