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!

Summer is flying by too fast!! 

There hasn't been enough time to wear every summer look I want to wear this season!

I rediscovered fringed ponchos recently! 

I forgot how cute they are!
There's something so sexy about those sheer tops and ponchos.
They conceal but leave a lot to the imagination.

These ponchos look amazing with a pair of denim cut offs and a few cute accessories.

During my time at the park I shot a few pics in this adorable outfit.

Most of it is vintage except for the shorts,and sandals.

With vintage clothing its all about how you put individual pieces together.

That's the fun of it!

I love that this is a vintage inspired look that's still very timeless.

Its a real festival inspired look.

Perfect for traveling or for a music festival.

Bohemian Paradise

I'm loving this amazing floral print cold shoulder top! 

I designed it myself for the Heather Eliza line. 

Its made from cotton silk. 

Originally this was supposed to be a blouse to wear with jeans or leggings but it looked amazing as  beach cover, so I decided to make into a beach piece instead. 

Wearing the aqua bikini underneath was accidental. 

Surprisingly this entire outfit went together unplanned.

 Its one of my favorite looks in the bohemian glitter blog so far! 

Everything about this look is so perfect! 

Imagine wearing this beach cover on a tropical island or a gorgeous Island cruise! 

It doesn't even wrinkle! I had to pack this blouse up in a suitcase to shoot it on the beach and it looked like new even after unpacking it. 

Its so important to have wrinkle resistant clothes when we travel. 

Nothing is more of a headache then unpacking a dress and its all wrinkled.

You can find this gorgeous beach top for sale at shabbybabe.com and on the shabbybabe Etsy store

Its my favorite look so far!!

Summer Funk

I love the outdoors! 

Every weekend in the summer I enjoy getting some sun at a beautiful park.

Last weekend I took some time off for rest and relaxation. 

I found this gorgeous garden to shoot a few new pics in!

 Ive been dying to wear this silk chiffon peasant top all year!

Its hot pink,white, and yellow.

It has hand beading around the neckline and drawstring puff sleeves. 

This top went perfect with my blue denim cut off shorts I got from H&M.

I found these adorable gladiator sandals on amazon.

I didn't think amazon would have such cute sandals.

I've had these sandals for about a year now and I love them!

Their cute and very comfy.

The peasant top is vintage but the shoes and shorts are new.

Combining vintage pieces with newer accessories gives you a whole unique look of your own.

It makes something old new again.

Lemonade Bliss

For the past few months I've been in the process of putting a Fashion line together.

Its a lot of hard work! 

The design development process takes a while.

Its trial and error in experimenting with fabrics, silhouettes, trends, and the cost of production.

This beautiful maxi dress I have on is from the Heather Eliza line.

Its made from Liberty of London Cotton Poplin.

Liberty of London makes the most incredible prints!

The prints are abstract and colorful. 

I never thought of cotton as being an exciting fabric to wear until I saw Liberty of London cotton.

Its a shame we don't see more Liberty of London prints on the market today!

Its finely woven, and dyed to perfection!

This dress is the most unique color. 

Its not mint,but more of a Lemonade color.

That's why I called it the Lemonade Maxi Dress!

It has a tropical floral print for a garden party,

Island get away,or destination wedding you could wear it to.

The best part about this dress?

 Plenty of fabric and seams for fit and flare!

Summer dresses should have a fair amount of fabric in them for drape.

Its a high end maxi dress that's costly,

 but you'll keep it forever and get so much wear out of it!

I hate throwing clothes in the garbage.

 It pollutes the earth, and wastes our hard earned money.

My goal with the Heather Eliza line,

 is to give you a few beautiful pieces for your closet out of the finest fabrics. 

All of these garments will be manufactured in the USA saving our precious garment industry that's currently hanging on by a thread.

The Heather Eliza website is still under development,but

You can find this dress at shabbybabe.com.

More new pieces from the line will be up on the shabbybabe website next week.
