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.

Summer Jam

Memorial day is only a few days away! 

After suffering through a long exhausting winter, 

I'm so thrilled the unofficial start of summer is around the corner. 

To start summer out right,

 I always need a few new sundresses to wear. 

Its hard for me to find a really cute sundress.

 Some of them are too short, or the fabric isn't right.

 My most favorite dress is this red paisley cotton mini from Shabbybabe!

Its made of 100% cotton that is very light weight. 

I love the richness of the color in this dress.

Its a deep berry red. 

It's  low cut and has a plunging back neckline which I love!

The dress slips over the head and is gathered at the bust.

 Its a flattering dress for any figure type.

I'm involve with this dress because its a day to night style!

Its great to wear to a casual picnic,and perfect to wear on a date night as well.

I spent a day last week strolling around a gorgeous Victorian estate in this little dress,and

I got so many compliments! 

Theres nothing I love more than a cute,comfy,sundress.

Long live the 70s!

The best part about vintage clothing are the colorful and creative prints! 

The 60s and 70s had so many amazing colorful textiles… 

I collect vintage clothing in part to collect the textiles that go along with them. 

This vintage 70s mini dress has the most beautiful blend of pastel pinks and peaches… 

The dress has a taupe floral print that swirls in all different directions…

Its a great dress for winter. The dress has long sleeves and is short enough for boots!!

 When I put this outfit on I tried on my floppy hat, and the hat matched so perfect! 

We photoed the dress at sunset and I'd say we captured the sunset hues of this mini dress.

Sunset colors are my favorite colors to wear! 

They remind me of the summer,romance,and warm days.

Everything that makes me happy! 

Taking something old and combining it with a few vintage accessories,

 gives your wardrobe a fresh new look.

Long live the 70s!
