Velvet Sunset

Happy Memorial Day weekend!! Its finally time to enjoy the outdoors this year.

This holiday weekend I decided to relax,go hiking,

and most importantly enjoy a few good barbecues!! 

Velvet can be a winter look to wear, but when I saw this lavender velvet at the fabric store

I knew I had to to have a cute short sleeve top made out of it.

I sewed this amazing short sleeve velvet blouse for my spring and summer wardrobe!

Its a nice light weight velvet and the color is incredible!!

Enjoy your 3 day weekend and Happy Friday!!

Hiking in Style!

When its nice outside I love to hike!! 

Hiking is a favorite past time of mine... 

Its  much more fun than walking the treadmill in so many ways! 

You get fresh air,sun,and plenty of exercise!!

Fighting the elements through out the summer can be a challenge though.

During my hike I like to bring a light weight jacket for when it gets cold.

I also bring a bag with essentials like water,a map,and my wallet and phone of course.

Sun protection is important as well!!

Hiking out doors you are more prone to sun burn.

I like to invent creative and stylish ways to avoid the sun rays.

My floppy hat comes in handy as does my vintage faux fur lined denim jacket.

It serves 2 purposes.. Its warm and it protects me from the sun.

This is one of my favorite looks I've put together!

I love the rugged denim look about it.

In this cute outfit I'm ready to explore the world!

Beach Waves

There are certain places where we go to think about life..

 For me its the beach.. 

Listening to the sounds of the crashing waves and smelling the salt air puts my mind at ease… 

I love to hang by the beach and read books, and sometimes jot a few thoughts down in my diary…

I don't think I could ever live without the beach!'

I found this amazing spot in Monterey,California..

Its an incredible rock beach with very scenic views. 

Its the true symbol of summer,gorgeous weather, and romance. 

Luckily I have a few cute outfits to throw on for these beach Excursions…

This Jumpsuit was quite a find! Its slouchy on top but flares out to gorgeous palazzo pants!! 

Its the ultimate beach jumpsuit.

 I put it on over my bikini…

 Its all elastic so you simply just slip it on and slip it off. 

Its the perfect color too!

The jumpsuit is this sandy brown and black butterfly wing print.

Palazzo pants are great for long walks barefoot on the beach.

When the wind hits the pants are soft and loose.

The winter is such a bummer.

I hope it goes fast so I can be back on this beach enjoying sunsets and life.
