Plaid Flannel Fun

I love to get dressed up in gorgeous dresses,

and love to wear bright abstract prints!

Although I do have those days when I like to kick back and be casual too. 

Lately I love the look of a plaid flannel shirt!

 You can wear it with shorts, jeans, leggings, and even sweat pants. 

 Theres something so classic looking about a plaid flannel shirt too.

 All of the flannels I own are men's flannels.

They are just better made in my opinion.

The men's flannel shirts have better tailoring,better plaid prints,and look better!

Even during the summer time when it gets cold at night, 

my flannels always come in handy!

 I like to wear them as beach cover ups over my bikini in the summer months as well. 

The plaid flannel is a wardrobe must have for me.

I wear them all year round,which I can't say for any of my other wardrobe pieces. 

While shooting at this beach during sunset it got so cold. 

This blue and white flannel made shooting so much more cozy. 

I made the look a little bit more playful with my New York Yankees baseball cap and my Jeffrey Campbell leather boots.

Hopeless Romantic

Valentines Day is just 1 day away!

I think in the middle of February,

 we all need just a hint of romance to get out of the winter blues. 

This silk chiffon sunset floral dress is a statement of romance!

I love the butterfly sleeves and plunging neckline.

The dress is fitted around the waist and hips, and flares into layers of sheer silk floral heaven.

I had a lot of fun in this dress dancing around the beach on a windy day.

These photos truly captured the drape and design of it.

I hope everyone has a happy Valentines day this year.

Even if you don't have a valentine, treat yourself to some romance this weekend with

 flowers, chocolates, and a romantic floral dress.

Patchwork Heart

I've always loved the look of Blue Denim patchwork!

 Patchwork is a look and an art form that goes hundreds of years back.

 Its such a classic look we still wear it today. 

While at the beach during sunset, it tends to get a little chilly at times.

 I have this 70s blue leather patchwork sweater that I put on over my shorts and bikini.

 It was just the right outfit to bring that day.

I love this sweater because it can be boho,grunge,hippie you name it. 

The sweater can be a sweater dress or a tunic top.

Its a fantastic layering piece.

 For this shoot, I wore the sweater with knee high leather boots for more of a grunge effect. 

It would look great with gladiator sandals as well. 

Blue is one of my favorite colors to wear,

 so I love that its all different shades and textures of blue.

I finished the look with a choker of course!

I love chokers because they look great on my small frame.

Not to mention you can wear them with anything,

their very versatile like that. 

This look has inspired to start collecting even more patchwork for my wardrobe!

I can't get enough of this look.

New Years Resolution

A brand new year awaits us! 

There's always a new years resolution along with the new year. 

My resolution is to experience new adventures, and to keep on living the life of a bohemian. 

One of the highlights of 2015 was my amazing trip to California!! 

I'm hoping in 2016 I can return to Hawaii…

I visited there once in 2014, and it was gorgeous! 

I can't wait to go back… 

Although the gloominess and cold weather of January is about to strike, 

theres no reason why I can't keep dressing like its Island weather!

Every time I open my closet to look at This tie dye dress, it always brightens my day. 

This is a sheer pastel pin rayon mini dress from Shabbybabe.

 I love how it buttons down the front and it has cute capped butterfly sleeves. 

The length of the dress is just right too.

Sometimes mini dresses can be too short, or too long.

I'm 5'10" so its hard for me to find a mini dress that's not really short. 

I love to give soft girly dresses an edge with the accessories.

I threw on my favorite concho choker from Vidakush to go with the dress.

I love boots so I paired my tan leather Jeffrey Campbell boots to go with this look.

I'm looking forward to having a fresh start to a brand new year.

I wish you all a happy,healthy,and awesome new year to come!!!

Long live the 70s!

The best part about vintage clothing are the colorful and creative prints! 

The 60s and 70s had so many amazing colorful textiles… 

I collect vintage clothing in part to collect the textiles that go along with them. 

This vintage 70s mini dress has the most beautiful blend of pastel pinks and peaches… 

The dress has a taupe floral print that swirls in all different directions…

Its a great dress for winter. The dress has long sleeves and is short enough for boots!!

 When I put this outfit on I tried on my floppy hat, and the hat matched so perfect! 

We photoed the dress at sunset and I'd say we captured the sunset hues of this mini dress.

Sunset colors are my favorite colors to wear! 

They remind me of the summer,romance,and warm days.

Everything that makes me happy! 

Taking something old and combining it with a few vintage accessories,

 gives your wardrobe a fresh new look.

Long live the 70s!
