My Favorite Dress!

Happy June!! 

We're finally ready for those long hot summer days and nights.

Theres nothing I love more than a loose white sundress I can button up or down for summer.

This is a vintage sundress that is my favorite to wear in the summer!

The print is sweet and pretty, and I don't even mind that this dress is midi length.

I usually go for Maxi or mini, but I find that boots look great with this dress.

They add a fun element to a midi length style.

For this fun look I added my favorite feather choker from Child of Wild.

Instead of buying 20 pieces of jewelry at once for cheap,

I save up my money for quality jewelry pieces.

If your looking for something you can't find anywhere else

I suggest you check out Child of Wild for cutting edge jewelry.

I'm looking forward to wearing dresses every single day this summer!

Each year that goes by I love getting dressed up more and more.

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!

Denim Nostalgia

Denim has that Vintage vibe about it that makes it timeless!

 Theres nothing I love more than a cute Denim dress! 

This one is very detailed with princess seams and chunky metal buttons down the front.

I loved using my very own backyard for this photo shoot. 

I figured my very own garage would be a great backdrop for the vibe of this denim dress.

Collecting Vintage Denim has been a hobby of mine for about 5 years now.

I have Denim hobo bags,vintage denim cutoffs,patchwork skirts,and only a few denim dresses. 

I've found in my thrifting travels denim dresses are few and far between.

When I do find them I snatch them up immediately!

This dress brought back great memories & nostalgia of the past,

 as vintage clothing should always do.

Witchy Woman

With summer coming to a close I'm very excited to get back into the energy of fall!

Carving pumpkins,darker colors, 

and that gorgeous foliage about to show up on the trees is so much fun!

I saw this dress over the summer and fell in love! 

Its a black orange and red floral maxi dress.

This dress is perfect for fall. I love the plunging neckline and flared hem it has. 

Its more of a casual evening dress but still gorgeous,

and has a bit of a Gothic feel.

I wore long leather boots and darker makeup to finish the look.

No outfit is complete without accessories.

Layering necklaces and rings is part of my personal style,so naturally I had to do it for this look. 

I Can't wait for more fall fashion in the next couple of weeks.

Lemonade Bliss

For the past few months I've been in the process of putting a Fashion line together.

Its a lot of hard work! 

The design development process takes a while.

Its trial and error in experimenting with fabrics, silhouettes, trends, and the cost of production.

This beautiful maxi dress I have on is from the Heather Eliza line.

Its made from Liberty of London Cotton Poplin.

Liberty of London makes the most incredible prints!

The prints are abstract and colorful. 

I never thought of cotton as being an exciting fabric to wear until I saw Liberty of London cotton.

Its a shame we don't see more Liberty of London prints on the market today!

Its finely woven, and dyed to perfection!

This dress is the most unique color. 

Its not mint,but more of a Lemonade color.

That's why I called it the Lemonade Maxi Dress!

It has a tropical floral print for a garden party,

Island get away,or destination wedding you could wear it to.

The best part about this dress?

 Plenty of fabric and seams for fit and flare!

Summer dresses should have a fair amount of fabric in them for drape.

Its a high end maxi dress that's costly,

 but you'll keep it forever and get so much wear out of it!

I hate throwing clothes in the garbage.

 It pollutes the earth, and wastes our hard earned money.

My goal with the Heather Eliza line,

 is to give you a few beautiful pieces for your closet out of the finest fabrics. 

All of these garments will be manufactured in the USA saving our precious garment industry that's currently hanging on by a thread.

The Heather Eliza website is still under development,but

You can find this dress at shabbybabe.com.

More new pieces from the line will be up on the shabbybabe website next week.
