Grunge Girl

High Leather boots, Full Rayon Dresses, and a summer evening in the Park is how Ive been spending my Friday nights. 

Theres an air of romance to 80s and 90s Nostalgia. 

When alternative rock music ruled the scene, and history saw the last of truly great rock music. 

Gone are the days of Grunge, but not from my wardrobe… 

I have a closet packed with so many Vintage 90s Grunge dresses! Its insane! 

There are so many different styles, colors and prints of 90s Grunge!!!

 This maxi dress from Shabbybabe is my latest find! 

Its Hunter green with a cream windowpane print. 

Its a coverall style that buttons down the front and has a loose fit. Its so cute!

 With these grunge dresses I always throw on a pair of knee high leather boots. 

The boots I'm wearing here are by Jeffrey Campbell for Free People.

 I wear these Jeffrey Campbell leather boots with everything!!! 

Another great styling tip for the coverall grunge dresses is to wear a soft camisole underneath. 

It gives the dresses a modern feel and I always unbutton the front buttons up to the thigh. 

That's how I take 90s Grunge dresses into the year 2015.

Gypsies, Tramps, and Thieves

I have a passion for traveling!! I'm always traveling a few times a year like a bohemian gypsy!!!

 I happen to work right by this little turn of the century train station, and it inspired to put a gypsy look together.  

I bought this gorgeous black lace maxi skirt from Free People last year. 

I love it!! Its so Gothic and is a beautiful maxi skirt to wear from day to night. 

Its designed as a handkerchief skirt.

 I put 2 Vintage leather concho belts from shabbybabe with it. 

I have such a huge collection of these concho belts! 

They go with denim, leather, rayon dresses etc,etc. 

The peasant top is also from shabbybabe.

 It has gorgeous lacing that goes down the front. 

Whenever I put this boho peasant blouse on I feel like the ultimate prairie girl! 

Our clothes always need some very cool boho accessories. 

I just bought a few bohemian necklaces from Child of Wild. 

Child of Wild is one of my favorite places to buy 

tribal Jewelry and Bohemian Jewelry, check them out! 

That's where I picked up the tribal choker I'm wearing. 

The boho rings and bracelets are  all vintage jewelry pieces. 

A great pair of shoes always makes the outfit.

 To finish this look I wore another great pair 

of boho leather boots from Jeffrey Campbell that I bought at Free people.  

These leather boots are awesome! Their so comfy and look great!

 I'm so excited to show you more of my Bohemian closet this week! 

I have so much more looks to write about!

Golden Hour

Its been all about color for me in my wardrobe this summer! I think one of the problems most of us have is, we get into a pattern of wearing black and white over, and over, and over again.  We do it so often we forget about the rich palette of colors available to us out there. I like to wear a bright colors like orange and style it with neutral accessories to balance it out. Brown goes great with sunset colors like orange and yellow. I took this cute little tube dress from Shabbybabe and put a wide vintage leather belt around the waist. I also accessorized the dress with a vintage 70s weaved bag.  I loved the end result! I could still wear orange and not look too loud with color. Red and black work beautifully together, so does pink and white, the list goes on and on..

 Wide leather belts from the late 60s and early 70s add a real edge to a simple outfit as well. I wear this brown leather belt with everything! Its one of those accessories that matches any outfit! Nobody even knows its vintage. People stop me on the street and compliment me on how they wish they could find a belt just like it. The best part about vintage is that there is nothing like it! Each piece is unique and special. I think that's what fashion should be all about. A wardrobe unique to you of one of a kind pieces nobody else has. That's what self expression through dressing is all about.

City Girl

        

Its funny how our personal style changes over the years. 

Lately I've been into hair. I'm obsessed with head bands,braids,long locks, and richer darker hair color. 

My current color isn't too far off from my natural hair color. 

My original hair color is a dark brown but I changed it to being a full blown brunette. 

In my opinion Its my perfect hair color. 

On the day to day I usually wear jeans with some sort of peasant blouse. 

In this look I paired my favorite high waisted acid wash style jeans 

from forever21, and put it with a slouchy cotton peasant 

blouse I have from shabbybabe. 

I love belts too!!! 

Sometimes denim needs a boost of silver sparkle. I took these chain belts from shabbybabe 

and layered them on top of each other and it gives jeans such high style! 

I always get compliments when I wear these belts. With headbands you don't need to be a 

professional hairstylist to wear them which is why I love them so much! 

On days I wear my hair straight I stick a stretchy headband in and 

it gives long hair a gorgeous gypsy vibe!!

On colder days I throw on my favorite pair of Frye boots.

I love Frye because the boots last forever!! Their an investment but worth every penny! 

Not to mention a lot of rock stars from the 60s and 70s

 including Eric Clapton wore them. You can wear these boots 

in the rain,and snow and you'll never have to replace them. 

We all have our unique personal sense of everyday style,Whats yours?

Gypsy Pirate

If your like me and you LOVE the beach, 

your probably always in search of different bikini coverups.

 I feel like one of the greatest challenges of having a perfect beach wardrobe,

 is finding cute and high style bikini coverups to throw on over your bikini. 

I get so tired of the mainstream mass market styles. 

When I go to the beach I want to look like a gypsy! Lol

I found this awesome tunic top/ vintage mini dress from shabbybabe

Its has a crochet top with small mirrored accents. 

The vintage tunic flares out and has a shredded texture.

 I love it!! Its like something a gypsy pirate would wear on the shore haha. 

This shade of green goes great with a long coral colored boho necklace,
which I took out of my vintage jewelry collection

Its a great outfit for strolling the beach barefoot on a sunset evening.

Soul on Fire

Shades of orange and yellow remind us of sunsets,fire,and heat.. 

They are the colors of love and celebration..

I instantly fell in love with this dress from shabbybabe when I saw it for the first time!!! 

The bodice has orange lace with corset like lacing going down the front..

Then the dress flares out into this beautiful full skirt design that I love! 

When you put this gypsy dress on you instantly feel like a bohemian goddess! 

I can't explain it,but big full boho dresses always make you feel beautiful and powerful!

 I accessorized the dress with a boho leather conch belt from shabbybabe, and these Jeffrey Campbell boho boots from Free People.

 Go through your closet throw on a beautiful dress and set your soul on fire!
