Mermaid Sighting

Theres a beach lover in all of us! 

I know I can't get enough of the beautiful beaches in summer.

 I'm there every weekend soaking up the sun. 

I was lucky enough to experience the California beaches over the summer.

They are spectacular! 

The beaches of Cali have big beautiful rocks, clear blue water, and the most golden soft sand.

 I found the ultimate sheer blue dress that a mermaid would wear!

 I wore this peacock feather print boho chic dress from Shabbybabe over my bathing suit. 

I put on a gold mesh metallic belt with a tribal fringe necklace.

 I feel like if a mermaid did get washed ashore she'd wear this dress too ha ha. 

Its a vintage 70s dress but truly looks brand new. 

The dress is made out of silk so the drape is perfect for a windy day. 

This beach was like something out of a dream.

I was the only one there that day, and I loved it!

I had a blast shooting this Look book. 

Theres nothing like watching the sunset over the ocean as the day ends.

Purple Haze

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!!

Patchwork Heart

I've always loved the look of Blue Denim patchwork!

 Patchwork is a look and an art form that goes hundreds of years back.

 Its such a classic look we still wear it today. 

While at the beach during sunset, it tends to get a little chilly at times.

 I have this 70s blue leather patchwork sweater that I put on over my shorts and bikini.

 It was just the right outfit to bring that day.

I love this sweater because it can be boho,grunge,hippie you name it. 

The sweater can be a sweater dress or a tunic top.

Its a fantastic layering piece.

 For this shoot, I wore the sweater with knee high leather boots for more of a grunge effect. 

It would look great with gladiator sandals as well. 

Blue is one of my favorite colors to wear,

 so I love that its all different shades and textures of blue.

I finished the look with a choker of course!

I love chokers because they look great on my small frame.

Not to mention you can wear them with anything,

their very versatile like that. 

This look has inspired to start collecting even more patchwork for my wardrobe!

I can't get enough of this look.

New Years Resolution

A brand new year awaits us! 

There's always a new years resolution along with the new year. 

My resolution is to experience new adventures, and to keep on living the life of a bohemian. 

One of the highlights of 2015 was my amazing trip to California!! 

I'm hoping in 2016 I can return to Hawaii…

I visited there once in 2014, and it was gorgeous! 

I can't wait to go back… 

Although the gloominess and cold weather of January is about to strike, 

theres no reason why I can't keep dressing like its Island weather!

Every time I open my closet to look at This tie dye dress, it always brightens my day. 

This is a sheer pastel pin rayon mini dress from Shabbybabe.

 I love how it buttons down the front and it has cute capped butterfly sleeves. 

The length of the dress is just right too.

Sometimes mini dresses can be too short, or too long.

I'm 5'10" so its hard for me to find a mini dress that's not really short. 

I love to give soft girly dresses an edge with the accessories.

I threw on my favorite concho choker from Vidakush to go with the dress.

I love boots so I paired my tan leather Jeffrey Campbell boots to go with this look.

I'm looking forward to having a fresh start to a brand new year.

I wish you all a happy,healthy,and awesome new year to come!!!

Long live the 70s!

The best part about vintage clothing are the colorful and creative prints! 

The 60s and 70s had so many amazing colorful textiles… 

I collect vintage clothing in part to collect the textiles that go along with them. 

This vintage 70s mini dress has the most beautiful blend of pastel pinks and peaches… 

The dress has a taupe floral print that swirls in all different directions…

Its a great dress for winter. The dress has long sleeves and is short enough for boots!!

 When I put this outfit on I tried on my floppy hat, and the hat matched so perfect! 

We photoed the dress at sunset and I'd say we captured the sunset hues of this mini dress.

Sunset colors are my favorite colors to wear! 

They remind me of the summer,romance,and warm days.

Everything that makes me happy! 

Taking something old and combining it with a few vintage accessories,

 gives your wardrobe a fresh new look.

Long live the 70s!
