Evening Elegance

I just finished working on a very fun collaboration with Honeyz.com. 

I've been adoring their clothes lately! 

The looks are very timeless and fun to wear.

 One of my favorite outfits from honeyz was this gold metallic sweater mini dress.

I know I'm going to be wearing this cute little sweater dress over and over again!

In the winter I'll definitely pair leggings and boots with this dress.

I got this cute studded clutch bag from Forever 21,

and thought it'd bring some edginess to this elegant look.

I always love a dress that has an elegant look about it and 

this dress has  it!

I honestly felt like a bond girl walking the town in my body con mini dress.

Its how we should ll feel every now and then.

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.

Velvet Sunset

Happy Memorial Day weekend!! Its finally time to enjoy the outdoors this year.

This holiday weekend I decided to relax,go hiking,

and most importantly enjoy a few good barbecues!! 

Velvet can be a winter look to wear, but when I saw this lavender velvet at the fabric store

I knew I had to to have a cute short sleeve top made out of it.

I sewed this amazing short sleeve velvet blouse for my spring and summer wardrobe!

Its a nice light weight velvet and the color is incredible!!

Enjoy your 3 day weekend and Happy Friday!!

Medieval Times

Perhaps the prairie dress trend was just that..A
 trend, but I still love wearing it!!!
I enjoy the romance of a loose floral printed maxi skirt,
 and those laced up bodices that are straight out of a fairytale!!
This is quite a unique piece I discovered!
While browsing through a vintage shop I found this unusually green colored dress.
To me this looks to be a Gunnesax dress that had been dyed green.
I think its awesome! I love the green color.
The burgundy velvet trim looks almost royal from a Medieval time period.
I took it to Ireland with me and did an incredible shoot by this big beautiful lake.
I felt like a Princess in this dress!
This summer I'm going to try to make a few prairie inspired looks for myself.
I need more maxi skirts in a lot more colors!
I know by this point we have had way too many trends thrown at us.
The key is to take your favorite looks and mix and match them to what is uniquely you.
Happy Styling!

Retro Flare

I'm extremely picky when it comes to a fall and winter coat. 

I'm in a coat from the middle of November to the beginning of April. 

Its an item I wear everyday for almost six months of the year.. 

If I'm going to be stuck in a coat for that long I might as well have fun with it.

I'm crazy for the boldly printed retro coats from the 60s and 70s. 

Fashion was so colorful and bold back then!!

 A lot of the coats were trimmed in faux fur and flared out to A line silhouettes. 

I've always had this vintage brown plaid coat but never wore it till recently.

Its a dress coat from the 60s/70s.

 I wore it with over the knee boots from Chinese Laundry.

This coat makes an amazing statement!! 

I think I may wear it for the holidays when I'm in NYC.

I feel like a queen when I put it on. Its beautifully tailored,lined,and very warm!

Winter fashion like these coats inspires me to simply enjoy the cold weather season.

There's no reason we still can't look fabulous during the colder and shorter days of winter.
