Denim Couture

The landscapes of Ireland are so fairytale!! 

Every road and path looks like an old castle road. 

On this chilly morning in Ireland I just wasn't in the mood to put on a dress. 

Being that it was the day for boots and jeans I wanted to shoot this adorable denim bustier top! 

This is one of my own designs thats available on the Shabbybabe Etsy store. 

Its a fun piece! I love anything thats denim!

I sewed this leather beret to match. 

Surprisingly the bustier top truly fit the Medieval theme of the Irish landscape. 

I needed darker makeup for the shoot too.

I don't wear darker shades of lipstick enough as I should.

As I've mentioned before,

"Violetta" by MAC is one of my most favorite darker lipsticks.

Its not too dark and not too hot pink.

I highly suggest it if your looking for something fresh and colorful for a lipstick.

Hope your enjoying the month of April as much as I am.

Theres so much more to come in May,

that I'm so excited to share with you!

The Cliffs of Moher & Galway!

I don't think any of us travel enough! 

Once you leave your homeland you truly start to see how big the world is..

One of the highlights of my trip to Ireland was seeing "The Cliffs of Moher"

It was a spectacular sight!! Photos can not do it justice.

The cliffs are located on the coast of Clare, Ireland.

I passed by green fields and lots of gorgeous farmland.

I knew it would be cold so I dressed simple that day.

I wore this vintage red leather moto jacket all over Clare and Galway.

Galway,Ireland was also a blast! 

There are so many pubs,shops and live music there! 

If you want to experience a taste of Irish culture visit Galway.

Its a beautiful medieval village with a wide river and Celtic churches.

The sun was very bright so I'm happy I had my RayBan Sunglasses on me.

I bought these special for the trip to Ireland.

When on vacation I feel that an essential accessory to have is a great pair of shades.

Its always good to take a trip to clear our minds and to start on a new page when we return.

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.

Sweater Weather

Who's ready to layer up for fall?? 

Fall is a funny season. 

Some days its warm,and some days its real cold. 

For that reason we turn to separates to guide us through the fall transitional fall season.

I like to have a piece for the cold days that can be used as a jacket or a coat.

I've been loving long sweater dusters for the colder days.

They look so chic, and fun when worn with jeans or leggings.

This one I'm wearing is vintage! Its real suede leather and knitted wool.

I love the copper color of it too.

To me its the ideal piece to include in my wardrobe.

It can be worn indoors and out. 

I love vintage for the unique separates to pair with newer clothes.

I wish I had 5 or 6 of these sweater coats because their so warm and cozy.

I'll be on the hunt for more just like these.
