Patchwork Leather Groove

I love the vintage coats of the 60s and 70s!

The tailoring was impeccable,design lines were figure flattering,

and the creativity was limitless. 

Lately I've been into wearing trenches from the 70s.

 In a lot of the vintage coats you see patchwork leather designs,

faux fur collars,and bright neon colors.

 I was extremely lucky to find this treasure while thrifting. 

Its the most elaborately detailed leather coat I've ever seen! 

The coat has jewel toned pieces of patchwork throughout the garment. 

Reds,greens,taupe's,and black,make it so sharp! 

I don't know about you but,

 double breasted coat closures are my favorite way to button up in the winter.

Theres something about the front double breasted coat that looks sleek and military.

I think on a woman its flattering as well because it truly shows off our hour glass figures. 

This coat would be adorable with a mini dress and boots for evening!

Its a day to night piece.

I wish we could see beautiful design lines like this again.

I am forever inspired by the past.

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!!

Jungle Fever

 I love to look a little tribal when I hit the beach!
A little bit of the non traditional is always refreshing when it comes to fashion. 

When picking out a swimsuit for myself, color is very important to me.. 

I'm not naturally olive in skin tone,
so I always need to be prepared for days when I'm a little paler. 

I find that colors like green,purple,and pink 

look great on my naturally fair skin skin if their a bit more neutral. 

I've had this army green swimsuit for almost 2 years now.

I love it because it has a jungle girl feel about it.

The swimsuit has halter straps that are little snake motifs.

Its so cute! 

I had this vintage silk tiered ruffle skirt that matched the exact shade of olive green as my bikini.

This skirt was such a great beach cover up! Its a bit short to wear every day,

but for the beach it was perfect!

I love the way the California sunset captured the colors in these photos.
Get out there and enjoy the beach! Summer is  way too short.

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!

Bohemian Glitter

A bohemian is often described as a traveler,musician,artist, or writer

 that lives and believes in a free spirited lifestyle..

Although I don't work a regular 9-5 job, and I don't have to answer to a boss,

 I still have my share of responsibilities every day.

However, the best part of my job is I get to dress anything I want when I do my job. 

This denim outfit is one of my favorite looks I put together.

This denim poncho was a rare vintage find. I love it!

The grommet detail on the poncho is spectacular, and my floppy hat goes so well with it.

This is a great look for spring,and for fall. The denim keeps it dressed down and casual. 

I love working in these amazing clothes!

 Fashion should be a way we can all express ourselves,

and I always make sure to express who I am through these fun looks.
