Summer Funk

I love the outdoors! 

Every weekend in the summer I enjoy getting some sun at a beautiful park.

Last weekend I took some time off for rest and relaxation. 

I found this gorgeous garden to shoot a few new pics in!

 Ive been dying to wear this silk chiffon peasant top all year!

Its hot pink,white, and yellow.

It has hand beading around the neckline and drawstring puff sleeves. 

This top went perfect with my blue denim cut off shorts I got from H&M.

I found these adorable gladiator sandals on amazon.

I didn't think amazon would have such cute sandals.

I've had these sandals for about a year now and I love them!

Their cute and very comfy.

The peasant top is vintage but the shoes and shorts are new.

Combining vintage pieces with newer accessories gives you a whole unique look of your own.

It makes something old new again.

Vitamin Sea

How I loved Monterey, California! 

Its probably one of the most scenic and beautiful spots to visit in all of California. 

I was very lucky to have experienced it for a few days.

 The Monterey beaches were so gorgeous it was like being on a movie set!

I was only there for 4 days but I think I'd like to go back for a week or 2.

While I was in Monterey,

I stopped along the 17 mile drive to shoot a few gorgeous printed vintage dresses.

This peasant dress from Shabbybabe has pretty puff sleeves and high slits on each side. 

I'd say its more of a beach dress than a regular day dress.

 It would make a gorgeous beach cover up to throw on over a bikini!

 I love the print! Its a jungle theme print. 

It has palm trees,elephants, and tigers!!

 When I go to the beach I can never be without a few accessories so, 

I bought this pair of Chacos Sandals over the summer.

 I love them! 

Their fashioned of 100% real leather,

 and I've never worn a sandal so comfortable in my life! 

They were ideal for walking around on the rocky terrain.

 I always put on a vintage leather belt with a boho dress like this! 

Concho belts are truly my favorite accessory. 

I just bought this Choker during the summer. 

Its a tribal themed piece from one of my favorite online jewelry stores,"Child of Wild".

I said to myself this summer I needed "Vitamin Sea" 

and I definitely got a huge dose of it while in California!

Angel Wings

What is it about the symbol of angel wings that makes us feel so free?

 I think its because Angels symbolize

 a strong and powerful free energy that can conquer the toughest of times. 

I'm a huge believer in angels! I think they follow us everywhere we go.

This metallic cropped jacket inspired me to write about it.

 At first I had no idea this vintage 80s jacket had angel wings on it till I put it on!

 The back of this acid wash denim jacket has a silver metallic angel wing design. 

Its beautiful! The jacket is tight and fitted around the waist and looser on top. 

Its lightweight enough that it could be worn on a 70 degree day as a cover up too.

 I love the biker angel wing design features this has!

 The denim cut off shorts went so well with this 80s jacket.

 Then of course I had to pair it with my over the knee leather boots. 

All and all This jacket would be great to wear pretty much anywhere! 

Its casual enough to wear with jeans and dressy enough to put with a leather skirt. 

I love to write about how to wear the fall transitional pieces because I think a lot of us get confused when it comes to layering and wearing separates. 

Its definitely a challenge to figure these things out sometimes.

Hopefully these look books help with inspiring new looks for you in the future!
