My Favorite Dress!

Happy June!! 

We're finally ready for those long hot summer days and nights.

Theres nothing I love more than a loose white sundress I can button up or down for summer.

This is a vintage sundress that is my favorite to wear in the summer!

The print is sweet and pretty, and I don't even mind that this dress is midi length.

I usually go for Maxi or mini, but I find that boots look great with this dress.

They add a fun element to a midi length style.

For this fun look I added my favorite feather choker from Child of Wild.

Instead of buying 20 pieces of jewelry at once for cheap,

I save up my money for quality jewelry pieces.

If your looking for something you can't find anywhere else

I suggest you check out Child of Wild for cutting edge jewelry.

I'm looking forward to wearing dresses every single day this summer!

Each year that goes by I love getting dressed up more and more.

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!

Faux Fabulous!

Its hard to believe this is the last blog post of 2016!!

 The year went by so fast!! 

This blog has been a fun creative outlet for me this year! 

I've enjoyed playing around with different looks and makeup for photography. 

I also love sharing style with all of you! 

Part of this long winter is switching up a puffer coat or wool coat for a faux one!

Faux is great for a New Years Eve Party or for Valentines day!

The texture and print give you that sparkle of movie star to any night out.

Its easy to wash and store too which is such a plus!

We all have those garments that need a cedar closet to keep moths away. 

Storing clothes can become too high maintenance after a while.

Luckily with faux theres no need to worry about that!

This is a vintage gem I found thrifting.

It has a gorgeous retro red lining which is so fun!

This gorgeous chub coat looks good with jeans too!

With jeans I take this look from movie star to rock star.

For this look book I wanted to show the coat in a more glamorous style.

Enjoy, and have a fun,healthy, and Happy New Year!

Retro Flare

I'm extremely picky when it comes to a fall and winter coat. 

I'm in a coat from the middle of November to the beginning of April. 

Its an item I wear everyday for almost six months of the year.. 

If I'm going to be stuck in a coat for that long I might as well have fun with it.

I'm crazy for the boldly printed retro coats from the 60s and 70s. 

Fashion was so colorful and bold back then!!

 A lot of the coats were trimmed in faux fur and flared out to A line silhouettes. 

I've always had this vintage brown plaid coat but never wore it till recently.

Its a dress coat from the 60s/70s.

 I wore it with over the knee boots from Chinese Laundry.

This coat makes an amazing statement!! 

I think I may wear it for the holidays when I'm in NYC.

I feel like a queen when I put it on. Its beautifully tailored,lined,and very warm!

Winter fashion like these coats inspires me to simply enjoy the cold weather season.

There's no reason we still can't look fabulous during the colder and shorter days of winter.
