Denim Couture

The landscapes of Ireland are so fairytale!! 

Every road and path looks like an old castle road. 

On this chilly morning in Ireland I just wasn't in the mood to put on a dress. 

Being that it was the day for boots and jeans I wanted to shoot this adorable denim bustier top! 

This is one of my own designs thats available on the Shabbybabe Etsy store. 

Its a fun piece! I love anything thats denim!

I sewed this leather beret to match. 

Surprisingly the bustier top truly fit the Medieval theme of the Irish landscape. 

I needed darker makeup for the shoot too.

I don't wear darker shades of lipstick enough as I should.

As I've mentioned before,

"Violetta" by MAC is one of my most favorite darker lipsticks.

Its not too dark and not too hot pink.

I highly suggest it if your looking for something fresh and colorful for a lipstick.

Hope your enjoying the month of April as much as I am.

Theres so much more to come in May,

that I'm so excited to share with you!

The Cliffs of Moher & Galway!

I don't think any of us travel enough! 

Once you leave your homeland you truly start to see how big the world is..

One of the highlights of my trip to Ireland was seeing "The Cliffs of Moher"

It was a spectacular sight!! Photos can not do it justice.

The cliffs are located on the coast of Clare, Ireland.

I passed by green fields and lots of gorgeous farmland.

I knew it would be cold so I dressed simple that day.

I wore this vintage red leather moto jacket all over Clare and Galway.

Galway,Ireland was also a blast! 

There are so many pubs,shops and live music there! 

If you want to experience a taste of Irish culture visit Galway.

Its a beautiful medieval village with a wide river and Celtic churches.

The sun was very bright so I'm happy I had my RayBan Sunglasses on me.

I bought these special for the trip to Ireland.

When on vacation I feel that an essential accessory to have is a great pair of shades.

Its always good to take a trip to clear our minds and to start on a new page when we return.

Happy Spring Loves!!! 

I know its been a while since I've posted...

I apologize for the long wait between posts...

March has been a crazy month!

I can't believe its the beginning of April already.

At the end of March I traveled to Ireland! 

Its a place I've always wanted to see.

It wasn't until I arrived that I truly realized how much history is attached to the land.

There is a ton of Medieval history! 

The small towns in Ireland still have cobble stone streets,

 and their castles still intact.

Its unbelievable to see a real life castle in person!! 

I was lucky enough to get to take a tour of "Kilkenny Castle"

I went through the dungeons, and grand halls. 

My favorite features of the castle were the gorgeous stain glass windows.

Kilkenny, Ireland has a true Medieval Gothic vibe to the city.

I dressed for the occasion. It was still a bit chilly but not cold enough I needed a winter coat.

I wore my leather biker jacket (A wardrobe essential of mine!)

My lace up leather boots,and leather skirt that I love!

I'm so glad I packed this skirt. It was so perfect for this trip!

I'm looking forward to traveling even more!!

There is nothing like traveling, bringing a piece of the culture home,

and making it apart of yours.
