My Everyday Look

During the dog days of summer there are days when I just want to kick back and be comfortable. 

When I go to work I throw my hair up in a messy bun, and dress in very loose clothes.. 

I do a ton of work at the computer for a living, mostly with photography…

 It takes hours to edit photos but I love it!!! 

For a job where you sit for hours I find that big loose dresses always work the best!!! 

I found this incredible embroidered boho dress at shabbybabe. Its awesome!! 

It has a beautiful ruffled hem, and embroidered abstract floral designs. 

I accessorized it with my favorite bag! 

I bought this leather backpack from

 The leather store on Etsy and Its one of the most beautiful purses I've ever owned!! 

It has lots of room for almost anything, and its high quality leather.

I can fit my I pad,lunch,water bottles, and a makeup bag all in this one backpack.

 The best part is,is that its a light brown color that matches anything! 

To finish up this look I threw on my new pair of Gladiator sandals! 

I bought these gladiator sandals off of Amazon.com 

They fit perfectly!

 I know with gladiator sandals if the straps aren't tight enough it can become a problem. 

 The straps on these sandals are adjustable 

so you can customize the fit to whatever your needs are.  

This is pretty much how I dress for work everyday!

 Its a fast, easy, and very stylish everyday look!

Boho Butterfly

Its so important to be able to breathe and feel comfortable in our summer clothes!

 I went on a beautiful stroll last weekend

 through a meadow and forest on top of a mountain and boy was it hot!

 I was so lucky to be wearing a rayon dress that day.

 I feel like the best fibers to wear in the summer months are cotton & rayon. 

The natural fibers are breathable, 

and when wearing a dress like this one,

 your left feeling comfy and loose throughout the day like a boho butterfly.

 I don't know about you but I can't live without my 5 or 6 rayon maxi dresses for the summer. 

Their great for pretty much every occasion like

Barbeque's,a trip to the beach,a walk in the park, and even a sunset picnic in the meadow. 

This boho maxi dress from shabbybabe is so comfortable.

 It has pleated skirting, and buttons down the front…

 I love to unbutton the first few buttons in the front near the hem for added comfort. 

This dress was great to hike in, to picnic in, and to run errands in.

 I always try to dress up as much as I can when the weathers warm. 

Where I come from the winters are brutal.

 I'm stuck in sweaters and jeans for 6 months at a time.

 I'm making the most of whats left of the summer, and dressing like a boho butterfly everyday.

I'm definitely not looking forward to the cold weather in November through March.

Lace Grunge Gypsy

I live for fashion! I love taking 2 different genres of fashion and combining them!! 

In this case 90s Grunge with 70s Bohemian… 

I think the 2 looks mesh very well together… 

Grunge is loose dresses,leather,denim jeans, and tees..

Bohemian isn't that much different. Loose hair, loose dresses, lots of jewelry, and rock n roll..

This lace dress from shabbybabe is in my top ten favorites from the clothing collection! 

Its a baby doll lace mini dress made out of cotton.  

You can wear it with Gladiator sandals,pumps, and even a plain basic pair of sandals. 

I wanted to take this look to the next level, 

and throw on my Jeffrey Campbell knee high leather boots. I love the combination! 

Its definitely boho but so grungy as well. 

The 70s and the 90s are my 2 favorite decades in fashion. 

Whenever I put looks together I always draw influences from those 2 time periods.

 I love looks that inspire me…This look has really inspired me!!!

 I'm about to switch up my closet all over again and make it even more grunge inspired.

 I'm changing my wardrobe all the time…

 Fashion changes so quickly, but I love to have my own original style…

The past will always have a major effect on my closet… 

Nostalgia is here to stay..

Arabian Nights

 Theres Something about those far out bohemian prints in sheer fabrics that makes us feel like an Arabian princess!! 

This dress has been my favorite summer dress! 

I found it very accidentally. 

I was going through a few boxes of vintage clothing 

and I found this absolute showstopper of a dress!! I couldn't believe somebody got rid of it. 

A lot of these vintage clothes are very fine pieces!!! 

Most of the clothing has never even been worn. 

I see so many pounds of bails of gorgeous clothes that people just get rid of, 

and the question is why???? Like this black and white boho maxi dress!! 

It has a corset style back that laces up and is made of a rayon gauze…

 Gauze is the best fabric to wear on a windy beach day!! 

The gauze blows in the wind so beautifully and looks so romantic and feminine on the body.

 When seeing this dress on the hanger I thought, theres no way its gonna look good on me. 

After I put it on, my mind was blown as to how good it looked!!! 

The print is unbelievable. The dress has a tribal India vibe. 

Its so striking!!! 

The best part is, nobody I know has another dress like this one….

 I adore vintage because of the fact that theres only one of each piece….

 Theres nothing I hate more than to go shopping and see 2 or 3 people have on the same dress as me….

Not to mention textile mills, 

and the whole fashion industry has taken a radical change in the past 20 years…. 

There are prints and sewing techniques we'll never see again…

Quality in clothing has been traded in for Quantity in clothing….

That's why I work hard to save each piece of vintage clothing,

 this dress now has a new home in my closet…

Grunge Girl

High Leather boots, Full Rayon Dresses, and a summer evening in the Park is how Ive been spending my Friday nights. 

Theres an air of romance to 80s and 90s Nostalgia. 

When alternative rock music ruled the scene, and history saw the last of truly great rock music. 

Gone are the days of Grunge, but not from my wardrobe… 

I have a closet packed with so many Vintage 90s Grunge dresses! Its insane! 

There are so many different styles, colors and prints of 90s Grunge!!!

 This maxi dress from Shabbybabe is my latest find! 

Its Hunter green with a cream windowpane print. 

Its a coverall style that buttons down the front and has a loose fit. Its so cute!

 With these grunge dresses I always throw on a pair of knee high leather boots. 

The boots I'm wearing here are by Jeffrey Campbell for Free People.

 I wear these Jeffrey Campbell leather boots with everything!!! 

Another great styling tip for the coverall grunge dresses is to wear a soft camisole underneath. 

It gives the dresses a modern feel and I always unbutton the front buttons up to the thigh. 

That's how I take 90s Grunge dresses into the year 2015.
