Japanese Silk

Being the beach addict I am, I'm constantly shopping for jewelry, bikinis, and cover ups!

I've recently gotten into wearing Kimonos for beach cover ups. 

I think theres something so unique about wearing a kimono over your bikini! 

Its much more fun than throwing on a t-shirt. 

I shop for vintage Japanese Kimonos. 

Most of the Japanese kimonos run large which is perfect!

They come in bright colors with gorgeous Asian prints. 

Unfortunately the vintage Japanese kimonos can get expensive,

 so I only have collected a few so far. 

When I was at Huntington beach,

 I wore my bright Fuchsia embroidered Asian robe as a cover up. 

It was gorgeous! 

This robe totally matched the Cali sunset in these photos!

It has golden floral embroidery, and a gold silk lining.

It looked great on over my bikini.

 I didn't think this kimono was going to work but it worked out great!

Boho beach style never looked so good!

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. 

Shop shabbybabe.com to see even more of the limited edition collection!

Summer of Love

Wedding season has approached us! 

Theres nothing I love more than a fairytale fantasy wedding.

 A lot of brides choose to have a destination wedding these days. 

The beach weddings are my favorite!

 There are so many possibilities in choosing a dress for a beach wedding. 

It could be a mini,maxi,vintage,boho,or lace dress. 

I happened to find the most beautiful beach right off of Big Sur in California! 

I don't think this beach had a name,but it was the perfect place to have a private beach wedding Ceremony. I wore this cotton crochet handkerchief hem dress that day. 

I love the design lines in this dress! Its trimmed with ribbon and has floral embroidery along the waistline. The dress doesn't even need shoes. I felt like a beach princess in this dress. 

Comfort is key on the day of your wedding. 

This dress is 100% Cotton making it great for a hot summer day. 

Make your wedding into a work of art this summer and just have fun!

Sand & Sun

Sandy brown leather and eyelet lace tops are my idea of a gorgeous spring boho wardrobe!

 I love bursts of color but there is something about the neutral earthy colors that are timeless.

On a bright 70 degree day I went for a walk on the beach.

 I wore my bikini just in case I wanted to go for a swim,and my new eyelet lace cropped shirt from shabbybabe! 

This lace crop top is not vintage. 

Its from shabby's new line of clothes which puts a modern spin on vintage silhouettes. 

The brown suede leather pants are vintage. 

My shades are from Century 21.

I was lucky enough to get this crochet fringe bag as a gift!

My parents went to Hawaii in December for 2 weeks

 and brought me back this cross body bag from Billabong!

 I love it! It goes with so many outfits!

I'm excited to experiment with more

 simple neutral toned styles for spring and summer.

I love taking a few simple pieces and creating a full blown work of art with them!
