Sunset Prairie

There's nothing I love more than to see excellent craftsmanship return to clothing. 

Shabbybabe is releasing a line of vintage inspired designs. 

Each piece is limited edition. 

This off the shoulder peasant dress is one of my favorites from the new collection. 

Its a fitted off the shoulder peasant top that flares out to a wide skirting. 

The dress is made from cotton eyelet,and has a cute blue floral trim along the hemline. 

What I love the most about this dress is the princess seams! 

The princess seams give this dress a great fit and flare. 

When wearing this dress its important to wear some amazing jewelry to go with it. 

I'm in love with this choker from Vidakush! It matches just about anything.

 I topped the look off with a few of my favorite bracelets and rings.

Beach Bohemia

 I've been obsessed with gorgeous white dresses to wear on my beach days! 

White is a beautiful beach color that reminds us of

 the breaking tide, seashells, and the romance of a sunset walk along the ocean. 

Its such a feminine color to wear on an overcast beach day. 

I love this white cotton gauze boho chic mini dress from shabbybabe!! 

Its one of the comfiest dresses I've ever worn!. 

It simply slips over the head and ties in back. 

The back tie is optional. This dress looks great just hanging loosely on the body. 

The bodice of the dress is a cotton eyelet lace. 

For white dresses its always a good idea to add accessories with a splash of color!

 That's why I added my coral beaded necklace. It worked out perfectly! 

Coral and orange looks so bold and gorgeous with white…. 

With this dress I also added a brown straw beach bag from shabbybabe.

The combination of the bold bright accessories worked out so well with this dress.

Cotton,rayon,and linen are the best fabrics when hang in on the sand.

The sand washes right out at the end of the day. Sadly summer is winding down.

 Lets try to make the most of whats left this August.

Lace Grunge Gypsy

I live for fashion! I love taking 2 different genres of fashion and combining them!! 

In this case 90s Grunge with 70s Bohemian… 

I think the 2 looks mesh very well together… 

Grunge is loose dresses,leather,denim jeans, and tees..

Bohemian isn't that much different. Loose hair, loose dresses, lots of jewelry, and rock n roll..

This lace dress from shabbybabe is in my top ten favorites from the clothing collection! 

Its a baby doll lace mini dress made out of cotton.  

You can wear it with Gladiator sandals,pumps, and even a plain basic pair of sandals. 

I wanted to take this look to the next level, 

and throw on my Jeffrey Campbell knee high leather boots. I love the combination! 

Its definitely boho but so grungy as well. 

The 70s and the 90s are my 2 favorite decades in fashion. 

Whenever I put looks together I always draw influences from those 2 time periods.

 I love looks that inspire me…This look has really inspired me!!!

 I'm about to switch up my closet all over again and make it even more grunge inspired.

 I'm changing my wardrobe all the time…

 Fashion changes so quickly, but I love to have my own original style…

The past will always have a major effect on my closet… 

Nostalgia is here to stay..

Golden Hour

Its been all about color for me in my wardrobe this summer! I think one of the problems most of us have is, we get into a pattern of wearing black and white over, and over, and over again.  We do it so often we forget about the rich palette of colors available to us out there. I like to wear a bright colors like orange and style it with neutral accessories to balance it out. Brown goes great with sunset colors like orange and yellow. I took this cute little tube dress from Shabbybabe and put a wide vintage leather belt around the waist. I also accessorized the dress with a vintage 70s weaved bag.  I loved the end result! I could still wear orange and not look too loud with color. Red and black work beautifully together, so does pink and white, the list goes on and on..

 Wide leather belts from the late 60s and early 70s add a real edge to a simple outfit as well. I wear this brown leather belt with everything! Its one of those accessories that matches any outfit! Nobody even knows its vintage. People stop me on the street and compliment me on how they wish they could find a belt just like it. The best part about vintage is that there is nothing like it! Each piece is unique and special. I think that's what fashion should be all about. A wardrobe unique to you of one of a kind pieces nobody else has. That's what self expression through dressing is all about.
