Golden Glitter

Lets take a break from winter for and and talk about sun and lots of color! 

To escape the winter blues a trip to the Islands is always a remedy that works!

Lately I've been loving this incredible crispy cotton maxi skirt.

I love that it has tie dye in it but its not over kill.

This is another great example of mixing vintage with newer pieces. 

I've also been loving Beach bunny swimwear! 

Each bikini is well made and an original design. 

This is the only bikini from beach bunny I have since they are quite pricy.

I love how this fun beach look came out.

The photos are so golden and filled with sun that I had to name this post golden glitter!

I hope these photos jump through your screen and brighten up your winter day.

Patchwork Leather Groove

I love the vintage coats of the 60s and 70s!

The tailoring was impeccable,design lines were figure flattering,

and the creativity was limitless. 

Lately I've been into wearing trenches from the 70s.

 In a lot of the vintage coats you see patchwork leather designs,

faux fur collars,and bright neon colors.

 I was extremely lucky to find this treasure while thrifting. 

Its the most elaborately detailed leather coat I've ever seen! 

The coat has jewel toned pieces of patchwork throughout the garment. 

Reds,greens,taupe's,and black,make it so sharp! 

I don't know about you but,

 double breasted coat closures are my favorite way to button up in the winter.

Theres something about the front double breasted coat that looks sleek and military.

I think on a woman its flattering as well because it truly shows off our hour glass figures. 

This coat would be adorable with a mini dress and boots for evening!

Its a day to night piece.

I wish we could see beautiful design lines like this again.

I am forever inspired by the past.

Sweater Weather

Who's ready to layer up for fall?? 

Fall is a funny season. 

Some days its warm,and some days its real cold. 

For that reason we turn to separates to guide us through the fall transitional fall season.

I like to have a piece for the cold days that can be used as a jacket or a coat.

I've been loving long sweater dusters for the colder days.

They look so chic, and fun when worn with jeans or leggings.

This one I'm wearing is vintage! Its real suede leather and knitted wool.

I love the copper color of it too.

To me its the ideal piece to include in my wardrobe.

It can be worn indoors and out. 

I love vintage for the unique separates to pair with newer clothes.

I wish I had 5 or 6 of these sweater coats because their so warm and cozy.

I'll be on the hunt for more just like these.

Fairy Tale Sunset

What is it about wearing a peasant dress that makes us feel like we 're living in a fairy tale?

I've been making and wearing these peasant dresses all season long!

Its funny when you make one dress in a few different fabrics each one looks so different! 

Light blue is one of my favorite colors.

I had to have a light blue sundress for the summer.

Off the shoulder has been my favorite neckline,

 because it keeps you cool and looks so fairytale!

This is a simple cotton light weight sundress.

I didn't want to make this out of silk or a fancy printed cotton.

I think it came out beautiful!

In my opinion when it comes to fashion less is always more.

It has beautiful floral shaped metal buttons going down the front.

I love button down dresses because you can change up your look by unbuttoning or buttoning up. 

I feel like a modern day Cinderella in this cute outfit!

It's Feminine and sweet...
