Bohemian Fairytale..

Theres something about boho peasant dresses that makes me feel like I'm living in a fairytale when I put one on… I love it! 
Bohemian clothing is so beautiful, feminine, and filled with fantasy at the same time… 
This dress from shabbybabe is spectacular!!
 I wouldn't think that bright yellow,brown,and orange would look so outstanding! 
I'm used to boho dresses being in neutral colors like white or beige.
 I love the bold bright colors!! 
This dress is so perfect to wear to a festival,party, or just for a personal clothing collection. 
It has rows and rows of gathering, peasant sleeves, and an abstract border design skirt. 
I threw on an authentic 1970s boho leather belt from shabbybabe.. 
It was just what this outfit needed! The neutral boho leather belt gave the dress some balance.
This has to be one of my favorite looks I ever put together!
 I'm in love with the color story. 
We often don't give the brighter colors a chance in our wardrobe, 
but this dress has inspired me to wear more brighter bolder colors and prints.
This dress is a true bohemian work of art.

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.

Soul on Fire


Shades of orange and yellow remind us of sunsets,fire,and heat.. 
They are the colors of love and celebration..
I instantly fell in love with this dress from shabbybabe when I saw it for the first time!!! 
The bodice has orange lace with corset like lacing going down the front..
Then the dress flares out into this beautiful full skirt design that I love! 
When you put this gypsy dress on you instantly feel like a bohemian goddess! 
I can't explain it,but big full boho dresses always make you feel beautiful and powerful!
 I accessorized the dress with a boho leather conch belt from shabbybabe, and these Jeffrey Campbell boho boots from Free People.
 Go through your closet throw on a beautiful dress and set your soul on fire!

Free Bird

The best part about dressing for the beach are those gorgeous bikini cover ups we get to wear and of course showing a little skin!… 
Since summers so short I make sure to visit the beach every week. 
Instead of going for the traditional bikini coverups I went for this sheer rayon boho tunic top from Shabbybabe
It has slits on each side that drape beautifully when it gets a little windy on the beach. 
The tunic also has embroidery and small mirrored embellishments to add a little glam. 
Since its also in a neutral color it matches pretty much any color swimsuit. 
I paired it with a bikini form Victorias Secret, and a few belts from Shabbybabe
The boho jewelry is from my personal Collection. 
Have fun this summer and get to the beach while you can!
