Black lace on Chapel Street

Edit - The Haven Collective is now Vintanthromodern!

This week I'm collaborating with the New Haven based vintage shop The Haven Collective. I've borrowed some of my favorite pieces and photographed them throughout the city of New Haven. You can see yesterday's post here!

Regardless of the decade this dress is from, the Little Black Dress will always be timeless, and in style. This dress has a tremendous amount of detailing, the black lace fabric would best be described as Venetian, it's thick and has dimensionality. Sewn around the neckline and sleeves are hand cut pieces of the same lace.  While not overtly sexy, the dress's curve hugging shape and deep-v back certainly made me feel so.

I was also drawn to these long bronze tassel earrings from The Haven Collective, and from my own collection, found a new cuff bracelet that perfectly tied both the elements of the lace from the dress and the tassel earrings together.

For the perfect destination for my date night ensemble, I'm in downtown New Haven, where one side of Chapel Street is lined with shops and restaurants and the other is of course, Yale. While I'd wanted to take photos on the opposite side to get the downtown feel, the light was far superior here, and I can't resist a pile of bright yellow daffodils.
