livin (la vie) da loca

There’s a line I’ve been stalking for over a year now, friends. It’s perched right in the middle of one of my favorite shopping centers in Dallas, Highland Park Village, and creates fabulous/funky/glam pieces out of unused designer fabric.

If you’ve heard of La Vie, you know what I’m talking about!

Whenever I’ve popped back into Dallas, I usually make a point to peek into this hot pink store. It’s always a treat to look through the gorgeous fabrics, colors and textures!

These dresses are definitely a splurge, and after saving up I finally pulled the trigger on this gorgeous floral-jacquard organza kaftan. I wore it for our second anniversary dinner, and it was such a treat!

DRESS la vie style house kaftan // SLIP commando nude slip (go up a at least one size) // EARRINGS white floral hoops (use LONESTAR for 15% off) // SHOES white platform heels (old Shutz style, similar linked)

Needless to say, this dress is quite the statement… especially when you’re only 5’2! I’ve been wanting a La Vie kaftan for a while but had to find a fabric that worked on me. I finally ended up ordering this one, and couldn’t be more in love! It’s not what you want to wear to show off your figure (haha) but it is such a statement. The fabric is really unbelievable!

You’ll notice that many La Vie pieces, including this kaftan, are sheer. I’m wearing this nude slip underneath to not compete with the fabric, but a white slip would also look fresh and bright underneath. (Heads up, definitely go up a size in this slip! I initially ordered my usual size, and XS, and it fit like a tank top. The S/M is perfect on me, but still pretty short and tight… which is preferable for a slip!)

It’s always special to bring a piece into your wardrobe you’ve been waiting and saving up for for a while. This beauty makes me happy every time I see it hanging in my closet, and I’m already looking forward to wearing it again!

Here are a few other La Vie pieces I’m loving:

    Very beautiful. So much nicer than the caftans I have! I am happy to see caftans becoming a thing. They go in and out of style but I will forever claim the right to wear caftans because they are so comfortable. I wear caftans to the market, out and about, all the time.
    This one could be worn to a party or the opera!

    This striking dress truly makes a statement, especially for someone who’s 5’2″! After searching for the perfect fabric, I finally found my dream La Vie kaftan and I’m smitten. While it might not highlight my figure, wearing it feels so empowering. It’s remarkable how outfits like this can spark conversations, much like fun encounters on omegle! The fabric is simply incredible!
