Laced With Romance

Before it was a boutique, it was an eBay store, and before it was an eBay store, it was one really freaking stylish lady named Stephanie Villalobos (now Villalobos-Fellabaum). That's the short history of Laced with Romance anyway, which has been around for a while, but is just now starting to get the attention it deserves. A small vintage outpost on South First, LWR is known for tough rocker tees, studded boots, fringe jackets, accessories made of bone and shark's teeth; the kind of place where mini Zooey Deschanel's and cupcake aficionados need not apply. Unless they're ready to explore their darker side, that is, and for that, LWR has an online boutique where they can explore edgy looks from the safety of their pink bedrooms. We especially like their affinity for leather vests and motorcycle jackets.
