The Beach Bar

Happy Thursday! How have you been enjoying your summer so far?

My favorite part of summer is having a drink by the beach!

Recently I traveled to Asbury Park,NJ to hang at the beach bar.

I wore a geometric multi color abstract dress.

Its the perfect dress to wear on the boardwalk!

I received so many compliments!

I wish I had 8 more of these abstract dresses in different colors.

I can't wait to get back to the design studio to design more cute wrap dresses!

Whats your favorite look for summer? Everybody has their own preference.

I'm looking forward to more fun beach adventures in the next couple months.

Summer at the Stone Pony

Hi Loves! I've been absent from the blog for months!

I've gone through a ton of major life changes.

In September I had to leave the studio space I was renting to move to a new one.

On top of that I'm launching a clothing line.

I've been spending every waking moment of my time cutting, sewing, fabric shopping etc.

The new clothing line has taken all my time away from the blog.

But I'm back with brand new posts to share. 

This is one of the first pieces from my clothing line!!!

I fell in love with the abstract geometric print and turned it into a wrap dress.

This is the first of many wrap dresses I'm designing.

Wrap dresses are so chic and flattering aren't they??

You don't have to be model thin to look good in one. 

Also their so comfortable! 

I love how I can throw this on, tie it at the waist,

and I'm good for the day!

I'll be wearing this on the boardwalk and to many outdoor shows at The Stone Pony this summer.

I can't wait to share more looks with you.

Enjoy this gorgeous holiday weekend and wear a pretty dress!!

White Wedding

In case you were wondering, this isn't a blog post about my wedding haha. 

I'm not married or engaged yet, but this dress and photo shoot put me in the bridal mood!

I adore this dress from Shabbybabe because it can be so many things! 

Depending on how you style it and where your going,

 this dress can be used for bridal or just a nice maxi to wear to the beach. 

Its made of cotton eyelet...I love the sweetheart neckline,and halter straps. 

It has princess seams that fit and flare for added fabric around the hemline. 

I enjoyed this shoot! I headed up to upstate New York to a gorgeous park.

I was surrounded by acres and acres of green grass and mountains.

This would be the ideal location for wedding photos

 if you happen to live in or around Upstate New York. 

I styled this dress with a faux blue Turquoise necklace.

The necklace really popped against the long white maxi dress!

Hopefully this will inspire you with some beautiful photo ideas if your a bride to be!

Sunset Prairie

There's nothing I love more than to see excellent craftsmanship return to clothing. 

Shabbybabe is releasing a line of vintage inspired designs. 

Each piece is limited edition. 

This off the shoulder peasant dress is one of my favorites from the new collection. 

Its a fitted off the shoulder peasant top that flares out to a wide skirting. 

The dress is made from cotton eyelet,and has a cute blue floral trim along the hemline. 

What I love the most about this dress is the princess seams! 

The princess seams give this dress a great fit and flare. 

When wearing this dress its important to wear some amazing jewelry to go with it. 

I'm in love with this choker from Vidakush! It matches just about anything.

 I topped the look off with a few of my favorite bracelets and rings. 

Shop shabbybabe.com to see even more of the limited edition collection!

My Everyday Look

During the dog days of summer there are days when I just want to kick back and be comfortable. 

When I go to work I throw my hair up in a messy bun, and dress in very loose clothes.. 

I do a ton of work at the computer for a living, mostly with photography…

 It takes hours to edit photos but I love it!!! 

For a job where you sit for hours I find that big loose dresses always work the best!!! 

I found this incredible embroidered boho dress at shabbybabe. Its awesome!! 

It has a beautiful ruffled hem, and embroidered abstract floral designs. 

I accessorized it with my favorite bag! 

I bought this leather backpack from

 The leather store on Etsy and Its one of the most beautiful purses I've ever owned!! 

It has lots of room for almost anything, and its high quality leather.

I can fit my I pad,lunch,water bottles, and a makeup bag all in this one backpack.

 The best part is,is that its a light brown color that matches anything! 

To finish up this look I threw on my new pair of Gladiator sandals! 

I bought these gladiator sandals off of Amazon.com 

They fit perfectly!

 I know with gladiator sandals if the straps aren't tight enough it can become a problem. 

 The straps on these sandals are adjustable 

so you can customize the fit to whatever your needs are.  

This is pretty much how I dress for work everyday!

 Its a fast, easy, and very stylish everyday look!
