Prairie Girl

 Last week I was out having a sunset picnic by this gorgeous lake,

 and I wanted to look fabulous without being too dressed up or dressed down. 

When it comes to the Prairie Girl look I like to go for separates…

 I'm not always in the mood to wear full dresses. 

Separates takes a dressy look and tones it down a bit…

I just bought this adorable gathered off the shoulder crop top from Free people.

 This top matches everything and is very casual for everyday wear.

 I grabbed my favorite Army green skirt and put a chunky suede leather belt from shabbybabe with it.

 I also discovered this incredible tooled leather bag from shabbybabe!

 Tooled leather is gorgeous! 

I love all the intricate designs that's in tooled leather. 

I got this big beautiful black hat from Bloomingdale's! 

Its the ideal picnic prairie girl hat! 

Since I never get to wear boots with skirts,

 I threw on my Jeffrey Campbell black lace up letter boots to finish the look. 

The results were fantastic! I got all sorts of compliments on this look!

 Separates are tricky to put together but they give your wardrobe more options and looks to play with.

Flying Angel

I love to wear silk!! Its my favorite textile in the world!!! 

Theres something about a silk goddess caftan that makes you feel like

 a queen when you put it on… 

Believe it or not this orange silk Caftan from shabbybabe is vintage!! 

Its one of the most luxurious and finest pieces of clothing I've seen!! 

The caftan is unbelievably lightweight. 

Its perfect to throw in your suitcase or in a beach bag and go!

 The silk doesn't wrinkle and with one gust of wind you look like a flying angel!!

 My passion is bohemian clothing!!! 

 In 10 years from now I hope to have 3 closets filled with bohemian clothing.

 I honestly wish I had 4 more of these silk caftan robes in different colors!

 To make a sheer silk outfit complete, its always a good idea to cover yourself in silver gypsy jewelry!! 

 I got together all my favorite bohemian jewelry pieces for this look,

and the bohemian accessories makes the silk look even sexier!!

I never cared for looking super glam to go to the beach,

 but when I see caftans like this how could I not add some glitz when going to the beach!!

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.
