Beach Waves

There are certain places where we go to think about life..

 For me its the beach.. 

Listening to the sounds of the crashing waves and smelling the salt air puts my mind at ease… 

I love to hang by the beach and read books, and sometimes jot a few thoughts down in my diary…

I don't think I could ever live without the beach!'

I found this amazing spot in Monterey,California..

Its an incredible rock beach with very scenic views. 

Its the true symbol of summer,gorgeous weather, and romance. 

Luckily I have a few cute outfits to throw on for these beach Excursions…

This Jumpsuit was quite a find! Its slouchy on top but flares out to gorgeous palazzo pants!! 

Its the ultimate beach jumpsuit.

 I put it on over my bikini…

 Its all elastic so you simply just slip it on and slip it off. 

Its the perfect color too!

The jumpsuit is this sandy brown and black butterfly wing print.

Palazzo pants are great for long walks barefoot on the beach.

When the wind hits the pants are soft and loose.

The winter is such a bummer.

I hope it goes fast so I can be back on this beach enjoying sunsets and life.

California Dreaming

Carmel, California is one of the true gems of the West Coast!! 

It was my favorite part of California!

 I was surrounded by mountains,gorgeous coast lines, and endless wildlife!!

 It was like living in a dream…While I was visiting Carmel, I found Point Lobos State Natural Reserve…

 It was one of the most beautiful parks I've ever been in!! 

There were tremendous rock formations,and how could I not take a few pics by them?? 

I spent my day touring around Carmel,California

 in this cute brown graphic mini dress,and my floppy hat…

 It was the ideal dress to wear that day.. 

I usually never wear brown or neutral colors,

but I think they work well in this mini dress.

The dress has an elastic waistline,

 so I threw on one of my vintage belts to go balance the dress out. 

It matched the wild life and mood of Carmel. 

 I threw on my comfy pair of Chacos sandals to hike around Point Lobos in…

 Its always great to have a pair of hiking sandals when traveling. 

I saw so many sea lions that day!! It was magnificent…

Being in Carmel,gave me a whole new appreciation for the nature…

I'll never forget it….

Wanderlust

I love to travel!!

 Traveling takes the cake as my $$ spending investment….

Life is too short to not see the world, or experience different cultures…

 I was lucky to make one last trip to the beach this fall before the cold weather.

 I had so much fun walking this beach in my hat and lace top! 

Whenever I have the time I travel, even if its somewhere local like this little beach in NJ.

Life experiences give us adventures we can talk about and remember.

I have so much fun going to different locations,

 and putting fashion together along with my adventures!

The other aspect of travel that I love is you don't need to pack much to get on a plane and go!

 I recently purchased this hat in San Francisco,

 but I take it everywhere I travel to now… 

If I'm a wandering vagabond I must look the part…

This Victorian lace blouse is like something out of a time machine! 

It has a beautiful Victorian edge to it.

I love that I can get away with wearing this in the year 2015. 

Its a Gothic lace rock n roller look when paired with leather. 

I can't wear anything pastel or lace without putting leather with it. 

That's just my personal style, Soft and edgy.

Flower Child

On my trip to California San Francisco was an amazing city!!!  

Haight Ashbury was the highlight of my San Francisco trip.

 At Haight Ashbury there was so much culture from the music scene of the 1960s.

 It inspired me to put this Flower power inspired look together…

This boho dress from Shabbybabe is a true patchwork hippie dress. 

The multicolor floral print is incredible! 

The purple ruffle and bodice both match so perfectly!

 I wore this dress all throughout San Francisco on my nights out in the city. 

I received so many compliments on it. 

A denim jacket tones down this dress a notch if your looking for a more casual look. 

To complete this outfit I wore my tan Jeffrey Campbell boots from Free People with it. 

I have 2 pairs of these boots because they match every dress so well! 

The boots were well worth the investment. 

I find that its hard to find a nice summer boot to put with midi dresses in the summer. 

If your looking for that perfect boot, I suggest these Jeffrey Campbell ones..

I'm definitely going to miss San Francisco. Never have I seen so many gorgeous coastlines and bridges.

The San Francisco hills were insane! I can't wait to visit again soon!

Street Style

I found the most amazing Graffiti wall the other day!! 

After driving by it a few times I felt inspired to shoot a few looks by the wall. 

As I've probably mentioned in my other posts I love bright colors! 

Buffalo plaids are a great way to wear reds,blues,yellows,and even bright pinks… 

Its is such a classic print!!

 I just discovered Buffalo plaids this year!

 Never before have I had it in my fall wardrobe… 

The large checkered print looks great on everyone…

I was so lucky to find this cute little wool jacket from Shabbybabe. 

I never see these anywhere!

 I can't even find these in the mainstream clothing stores… 

 I see a lot of buffalo plaid shirts but not jackets…

 I hate wearing big long winter coats when its only 65 degrees outside. 

It was a little bit cold while shooting by this wall,and 

The jacket came in so handy for the shoot! 

I love the tailoring.. 

Tailoring always makes a jacket look and fit better.

This cute jacket can probably be unisex as well.. 

It'd look great on guys and girls!!

I finished the outfit with another one of my favorite pairs of boots and simple dark blue denim jeans.

A simple yet casual Fall look.
