Fairy Tale Sunset

What is it about wearing a peasant dress that makes us feel like we 're living in a fairy tale?

I've been making and wearing these peasant dresses all season long!

Its funny when you make one dress in a few different fabrics each one looks so different! 

Light blue is one of my favorite colors.

I had to have a light blue sundress for the summer.

Off the shoulder has been my favorite neckline,

 because it keeps you cool and looks so fairytale!

This is a simple cotton light weight sundress.

I didn't want to make this out of silk or a fancy printed cotton.

I think it came out beautiful!

In my opinion when it comes to fashion less is always more.

It has beautiful floral shaped metal buttons going down the front.

I love button down dresses because you can change up your look by unbuttoning or buttoning up. 

I feel like a modern day Cinderella in this cute outfit!

It's Feminine and sweet...

Japanese Silk

Being the beach addict I am, I'm constantly shopping for jewelry, bikinis, and cover ups!

I've recently gotten into wearing Kimonos for beach cover ups. 

I think theres something so unique about wearing a kimono over your bikini! 

Its much more fun than throwing on a t-shirt. 

I shop for vintage Japanese Kimonos. 

Most of the Japanese kimonos run large which is perfect!

They come in bright colors with gorgeous Asian prints. 

Unfortunately the vintage Japanese kimonos can get expensive,

 so I only have collected a few so far. 

When I was at Huntington beach,

 I wore my bright Fuchsia embroidered Asian robe as a cover up. 

It was gorgeous! 

This robe totally matched the Cali sunset in these photos!

It has golden floral embroidery, and a gold silk lining.

It looked great on over my bikini.

 I didn't think this kimono was going to work but it worked out great!

Boho beach style never looked so good!

Hopeless Romantic

Valentines Day is just 1 day away!

I think in the middle of February,

 we all need just a hint of romance to get out of the winter blues. 

This silk chiffon sunset floral dress is a statement of romance!

I love the butterfly sleeves and plunging neckline.

The dress is fitted around the waist and hips, and flares into layers of sheer silk floral heaven.

I had a lot of fun in this dress dancing around the beach on a windy day.

These photos truly captured the drape and design of it.

I hope everyone has a happy Valentines day this year.

Even if you don't have a valentine, treat yourself to some romance this weekend with

 flowers, chocolates, and a romantic floral dress.

Wanderlust

I love to travel!!

 Traveling takes the cake as my $$ spending investment….

Life is too short to not see the world, or experience different cultures…

 I was lucky to make one last trip to the beach this fall before the cold weather.

 I had so much fun walking this beach in my hat and lace top! 

Whenever I have the time I travel, even if its somewhere local like this little beach in NJ.

Life experiences give us adventures we can talk about and remember.

I have so much fun going to different locations,

 and putting fashion together along with my adventures!

The other aspect of travel that I love is you don't need to pack much to get on a plane and go!

 I recently purchased this hat in San Francisco,

 but I take it everywhere I travel to now… 

If I'm a wandering vagabond I must look the part…

This Victorian lace blouse is like something out of a time machine! 

It has a beautiful Victorian edge to it.

I love that I can get away with wearing this in the year 2015. 

Its a Gothic lace rock n roller look when paired with leather. 

I can't wear anything pastel or lace without putting leather with it. 

That's just my personal style, Soft and edgy.

San Francisco To Los Angeles: The Epic Road Trip

I've just returned from the most epic road trip of my life! 

I've been traveling from San Francisco to LA for the past 2 weeks! 

It was an insane road trip and quite an eye opener! 

This was my first time exploring the West Coast of the United states.

 Only one word comes to mind when explaining what I saw: BEAUTIFUL!!!

 I was surrounded by mountains, golden sunsets,and gorgeous coastlines!!! 

It took a while for me to get used to. 

I'm from the East Coast…. 

NJ Suburbia, NYC, and Cold winters is what I look at every day….

It has its pros and cons…. I love NYC, but the winters are brutal!!! 

We have shores and beaches but not like California does!!!

 I loved the wild life I saw there!

 I saw sea lions,Elephant seals,otters,pelicans, 

and the list goes on and on!

 Along my journey I stopped in

 Monterey,Carmel, Big sur, Cambria, LA, and Huntington Beach! 

Every 3-4 days I was up and out to a new destination in California…. 

On my epic road trip I stopped to photo some amazing looks 

I put together before the big trip!

For the next few weeks(or months) 

you'll be seeing a few West coast inspired look books I shot in California.

I'll never forget this trip! It was life changing for me! 

I met so many cool people and saw so many places that inspired me spiritually.

I can now finally share what I saw and experienced with you too!
