Sea Siren

Who's leaving for a weekend get away this winter??!

 I wish I was! February is such a huge month for tropical Island getaways,

 I thought I'd do a post about it. 

I love to wear big full maxi wrap skirts to the beach.

 Their easy to take on and take off, 

plus packing them in your beach bags is a cinch! 

When I go to the beach I don't always go for a swim,which is kind of odd...

I like to get a tan,and walk along the shore, and that's where the beach separates come into play. 

This cotton batiste skirt was truly a fab vintage find of mine!

 The navy and batik print is out of this world!

 Its so perfect for a day at the beach.

 I received so many compliments on this beauty of a skirt. 

With a fabulous skirt like this its always important to find a stylish bikini top to put with it. 

So I put on this cute gold metallic and silver Victoria's Secret.

All season long I've been wearing my heart shaped sunglasses from Wild fox and I love them! Although they were expensive a good pair of shades is always worth the money. I know I'll get a lot of wear out of these sunglasses. Hopefully your enjoying the sunny weather for your tropical Island winter get away this month.

What is it about sundresses that makes us want 20 or 30 of them in our closets?? 

I can't say that I'm not guilty of having one too many dresses for summer. 

The best feeling is to change out of those confining jeans and jackets and to put on a loose dress. 

During my trip to California I was always hanging on the rocks by the ocean.

 I wore this gorgeous boho dress a couple times while being out there.

 Its a vintage 70s paisley floral dress. 

I love the simplicity of the style. 

You'd never think it was a vintage dress! 

The print is incredible!

 Its all jewel tones, and is an all over print. 

It has a wide skirt with thin spaghetti straps.

 This is a fantastic day to night dress.

 You can wear it all day then at night put on heels and a belt to make it more evening. 

Only 4 or 5 months to go till summer time is back.

I can't wait!!

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!

California Dreaming

Carmel, California is one of the true gems of the West Coast!! 

It was my favorite part of California!

 I was surrounded by mountains,gorgeous coast lines, and endless wildlife!!

 It was like living in a dream…While I was visiting Carmel, I found Point Lobos State Natural Reserve…

 It was one of the most beautiful parks I've ever been in!! 

There were tremendous rock formations,and how could I not take a few pics by them?? 

I spent my day touring around Carmel,California

 in this cute brown graphic mini dress,and my floppy hat…

 It was the ideal dress to wear that day.. 

I usually never wear brown or neutral colors,

but I think they work well in this mini dress.

The dress has an elastic waistline,

 so I threw on one of my vintage belts to go balance the dress out. 

It matched the wild life and mood of Carmel. 

 I threw on my comfy pair of Chacos sandals to hike around Point Lobos in…

 Its always great to have a pair of hiking sandals when traveling. 

I saw so many sea lions that day!! It was magnificent…

Being in Carmel,gave me a whole new appreciation for the nature…

I'll never forget it….
