Shimmer Effect

I love to be covered in sparkles and shimmer for photo shoots! 

I think the best way to achieve that affect is with jewelry!! I'll be honest.. 

I don't wear tons of bracelets,necklaces and rings every single day.

Accessorizing can be a challenge! 

It takes time to pick the right pieces to style a look. 

I start with the hue and color of the dress or top I'm wearing,

and then color coordinate my accessories around that. 

This is an almost white light pink silk tunic top.

 The moment I saw it, I knew it'd be perfect to throw on over a bikini for the beach. 

I knew it needed a few sparkly pieces for it to stand out.

I chose silver rhinestone pieces and layered necklaces to match the jeweled bikini I'm wearing.

I gathered the jewelry pieces together the night before the actual shoot.

As much as I wish I could roll out of bed in the morning and just know what to style I can't! 

One of these days I need to show you my collection of accessories.

Its still growing and needs organizing!! 

I feel like one of the most important factors in putting looks together is organization!

Once my accessories are organized I'll give you a small tour of my humble little accessory collection.

I'm happy I can give you a few tips on how I style my looks.

As with anything worth while it takes time and patience.

Bohemian Paradise

I'm loving this amazing floral print cold shoulder top! 

I designed it myself for the Heather Eliza line. 

Its made from cotton silk. 

Originally this was supposed to be a blouse to wear with jeans or leggings but it looked amazing as  beach cover, so I decided to make into a beach piece instead. 

Wearing the aqua bikini underneath was accidental. 

Surprisingly this entire outfit went together unplanned.

 Its one of my favorite looks in the bohemian glitter blog so far! 

Everything about this look is so perfect! 

Imagine wearing this beach cover on a tropical island or a gorgeous Island cruise! 

It doesn't even wrinkle! I had to pack this blouse up in a suitcase to shoot it on the beach and it looked like new even after unpacking it. 

Its so important to have wrinkle resistant clothes when we travel. 

Nothing is more of a headache then unpacking a dress and its all wrinkled.

You can find this gorgeous beach top for sale at shabbybabe.com and on the shabbybabe Etsy store

Its my favorite look so far!!

Who's leaving for a weekend get away this winter??!

 I wish I was! February is such a huge month for tropical Island getaways,

 I thought I'd do a post about it. 

I love to wear big full maxi wrap skirts to the beach.

 Their easy to take on and take off, 

plus packing them in your beach bags is a cinch! 

When I go to the beach I don't always go for a swim,which is kind of odd...

I like to get a tan,and walk along the shore, and that's where the beach separates come into play. 

This cotton batiste skirt was truly a fab vintage find of mine!

 The navy and batik print is out of this world!

 Its so perfect for a day at the beach.

 I received so many compliments on this beauty of a skirt. 

With a fabulous skirt like this its always important to find a stylish bikini top to put with it. 

So I put on this cute gold metallic and silver Victoria's Secret.

All season long I've been wearing my heart shaped sunglasses from Wild fox and I love them! Although they were expensive a good pair of shades is always worth the money. I know I'll get a lot of wear out of these sunglasses. Hopefully your enjoying the sunny weather for your tropical Island winter get away this month.

Gypsy Pirate

If your like me and you LOVE the beach, 

your probably always in search of different bikini coverups.

 I feel like one of the greatest challenges of having a perfect beach wardrobe,

 is finding cute and high style bikini coverups to throw on over your bikini. 

I get so tired of the mainstream mass market styles. 

When I go to the beach I want to look like a gypsy! Lol

I found this awesome tunic top/ vintage mini dress from shabbybabe

Its has a crochet top with small mirrored accents. 

The vintage tunic flares out and has a shredded texture.

 I love it!! Its like something a gypsy pirate would wear on the shore haha. 

This shade of green goes great with a long coral colored boho necklace,
which I took out of my vintage jewelry collection

Its a great outfit for strolling the beach barefoot on a sunset evening.

The best part about dressing for the beach are those gorgeous bikini cover ups we get to wear and of course showing a little skin!… 

Since summers so short I make sure to visit the beach every week. 

Instead of going for the traditional bikini coverups I went for this sheer rayon boho tunic top from Shabbybabe. 

It has slits on each side that drape beautifully when it gets a little windy on the beach. 

The tunic also has embroidery and small mirrored embellishments to add a little glam. 

Since its also in a neutral color it matches pretty much any color swimsuit. 

I paired it with a bikini form Victorias Secret, and a few belts from Shabbybabe. 

The boho jewelry is from my personal Collection. 

Have fun this summer and get to the beach while you can!
