Glamorous winter

I've been putting my cold weather wardrobe together for weeks! 

I live on the East coast so the winters here are long and grueling. 

This year I wanted to go for more of a glam look.
Its hard to stay glamorous in freezing cold weather isn't it? 

To save money I like to take my boots to the shoe maker for new soles and heels, and I thrift! 

Its amazing what you can find thrifting. 

That's how I found this coat.

Its a brown suede leather wrap coat. 

The coat is fully lined and has a fur trimmed collar.

When I saw it I had to have it!! 

Its very modern and wearable for a vintage piece.

I love that its a fall color scheme to wear with my brown leather boots.

I can't wait to wear a big oversize scarf and hat with this look!

Instead of getting bummed out this winter get glam!

Being a little glamorous is always up lifting.

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.

Witchy Woman

With summer coming to a close I'm very excited to get back into the energy of fall!

Carving pumpkins,darker colors, 

and that gorgeous foliage about to show up on the trees is so much fun!

I saw this dress over the summer and fell in love! 

Its a black orange and red floral maxi dress.

This dress is perfect for fall. I love the plunging neckline and flared hem it has. 

Its more of a casual evening dress but still gorgeous,

and has a bit of a Gothic feel.

I wore long leather boots and darker makeup to finish the look.

No outfit is complete without accessories.

Layering necklaces and rings is part of my personal style,so naturally I had to do it for this look. 

I Can't wait for more fall fashion in the next couple of weeks.

Grunge Goddess

September to November are the transitional months for fashion! 

I've been going all out grunge the past couple of weeks. 

I discovered this fun rock and roll denim maxi skirt.

 Its so hard to find one of these now! 

I remember seeing them all over the place back in the 90s. 

Denim skirts are so much fun to wear! 

I love that you can put a vintage tee with them and still look great! 

I decided to put my cropped union jack tee with this skirt. 

This Union jack tee is from my own personal vintage collection. 

Its one of my favorites! 

I decided to go darker on my makeup for this look.

I'm wearing "Violetta" by Mac for my lipstick. 

I love how the look came out.

I'll definitely be experimenting more with my beauty products as well as with style!!

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...
