Hopeless Romantic

Valentines Day is just 1 day away!

I think in the middle of February,

 we all need just a hint of romance to get out of the winter blues. 

This silk chiffon sunset floral dress is a statement of romance!

I love the butterfly sleeves and plunging neckline.

The dress is fitted around the waist and hips, and flares into layers of sheer silk floral heaven.

I had a lot of fun in this dress dancing around the beach on a windy day.

These photos truly captured the drape and design of it.

I hope everyone has a happy Valentines day this year.

Even if you don't have a valentine, treat yourself to some romance this weekend with

 flowers, chocolates, and a romantic floral dress.

What is it about sundresses that makes us want 20 or 30 of them in our closets?? 

I can't say that I'm not guilty of having one too many dresses for summer. 

The best feeling is to change out of those confining jeans and jackets and to put on a loose dress. 

During my trip to California I was always hanging on the rocks by the ocean.

 I wore this gorgeous boho dress a couple times while being out there.

 Its a vintage 70s paisley floral dress. 

I love the simplicity of the style. 

You'd never think it was a vintage dress! 

The print is incredible!

 Its all jewel tones, and is an all over print. 

It has a wide skirt with thin spaghetti straps.

 This is a fantastic day to night dress.

 You can wear it all day then at night put on heels and a belt to make it more evening. 

Only 4 or 5 months to go till summer time is back.

I can't wait!!

Beach Bohemia

 I've been obsessed with gorgeous white dresses to wear on my beach days! 

White is a beautiful beach color that reminds us of

 the breaking tide, seashells, and the romance of a sunset walk along the ocean. 

Its such a feminine color to wear on an overcast beach day. 

I love this white cotton gauze boho chic mini dress from shabbybabe!! 

Its one of the comfiest dresses I've ever worn!. 

It simply slips over the head and ties in back. 

The back tie is optional. This dress looks great just hanging loosely on the body. 

The bodice of the dress is a cotton eyelet lace. 

For white dresses its always a good idea to add accessories with a splash of color!

 That's why I added my coral beaded necklace. It worked out perfectly! 

Coral and orange looks so bold and gorgeous with white…. 

With this dress I also added a brown straw beach bag from shabbybabe.

The combination of the bold bright accessories worked out so well with this dress.

Cotton,rayon,and linen are the best fabrics when hang in on the sand.

The sand washes right out at the end of the day. Sadly summer is winding down.

 Lets try to make the most of whats left this August.

Red & Paisley

Paisley has to be one of my favorite prints!!! 

I feel that its one of those designs that you either love it or hate it.

 So much vintage clothing and vintage inspired clothing have the signature paisley design.. 

I think if you wear it in moderation and your not covered head to toe in paisley it looks awesome. 

This dress is a vintage AJ Barry design.

 Its gorgeous!! The fit is perfect, and its made out of a rayon,so while shooting this dress I was so comfortable! 

I adore the scoop neckline and the high waisted design. 

This is a great vintage boho dress that could be worn anywhere! 

The red color is beautiful and I love the small floral print.

 Not very often do we find clothes that make us feel beautiful. 

This dress made me feel like a goddess while wearing it! 

I didn't wanna take it off for the rest of the day, 

and I received so many compliments on it!

 I'm looking forward to shooting even more of these bohemian maxi dresses in the future! 

Their rich in color,design,and texture..

Arabian Nights

 Theres Something about those far out bohemian prints in sheer fabrics that makes us feel like an Arabian princess!! 

This dress has been my favorite summer dress! 

I found it very accidentally. 

I was going through a few boxes of vintage clothing 

and I found this absolute showstopper of a dress!! I couldn't believe somebody got rid of it. 

A lot of these vintage clothes are very fine pieces!!! 

Most of the clothing has never even been worn. 

I see so many pounds of bails of gorgeous clothes that people just get rid of, 

and the question is why???? Like this black and white boho maxi dress!! 

It has a corset style back that laces up and is made of a rayon gauze…

 Gauze is the best fabric to wear on a windy beach day!! 

The gauze blows in the wind so beautifully and looks so romantic and feminine on the body.

 When seeing this dress on the hanger I thought, theres no way its gonna look good on me. 

After I put it on, my mind was blown as to how good it looked!!! 

The print is unbelievable. The dress has a tribal India vibe. 

Its so striking!!! 

The best part is, nobody I know has another dress like this one….

 I adore vintage because of the fact that theres only one of each piece….

 Theres nothing I hate more than to go shopping and see 2 or 3 people have on the same dress as me….

Not to mention textile mills, 

and the whole fashion industry has taken a radical change in the past 20 years…. 

There are prints and sewing techniques we'll never see again…

Quality in clothing has been traded in for Quantity in clothing….

That's why I work hard to save each piece of vintage clothing,

 this dress now has a new home in my closet…
