Golden Glitter

Lets take a break from winter for and and talk about sun and lots of color! 

To escape the winter blues a trip to the Islands is always a remedy that works!

Lately I've been loving this incredible crispy cotton maxi skirt.

I love that it has tie dye in it but its not over kill.

This is another great example of mixing vintage with newer pieces. 

I've also been loving Beach bunny swimwear! 

Each bikini is well made and an original design. 

This is the only bikini from beach bunny I have since they are quite pricy.

I love how this fun beach look came out.

The photos are so golden and filled with sun that I had to name this post golden glitter!

I hope these photos jump through your screen and brighten up your winter day.

Denim Nostalgia

Denim has that Vintage vibe about it that makes it timeless!

 Theres nothing I love more than a cute Denim dress! 

This one is very detailed with princess seams and chunky metal buttons down the front.

I loved using my very own backyard for this photo shoot. 

I figured my very own garage would be a great backdrop for the vibe of this denim dress.

Collecting Vintage Denim has been a hobby of mine for about 5 years now.

I have Denim hobo bags,vintage denim cutoffs,patchwork skirts,and only a few denim dresses. 

I've found in my thrifting travels denim dresses are few and far between.

When I do find them I snatch them up immediately!

This dress brought back great memories & nostalgia of the past,

 as vintage clothing should always do.

The holidays are finally behind us! 

Now to focus on a beach get away for the winter. 

Whether you plan on vacationing or not,

 its always a good idea to start planning ahead for warmer days!

I recently made this black silk velvet burnout shawl.

 I love the way it came out.

I wanted to do something fun and creative while shooting it,

 so I put it together with one of my favorite bikinis from Victoria's Secret.

I never wore a shawl as a beach cover before but I love how the look turned out!

It has a Victorian, Gothic art deco feel about it.

This shawl will be up for sale soon on Shabbybabe.com

It can be used for evening wear,beach wear, or even as a scarf throughout the day.

I'm so happy we caught the sunset during this beach shoot.

I wanted to capture the iridescent colors and textures.

Faux Fabulous!

Its hard to believe this is the last blog post of 2016!!

 The year went by so fast!! 

This blog has been a fun creative outlet for me this year! 

I've enjoyed playing around with different looks and makeup for photography. 

I also love sharing style with all of you! 

Part of this long winter is switching up a puffer coat or wool coat for a faux one!

Faux is great for a New Years Eve Party or for Valentines day!

The texture and print give you that sparkle of movie star to any night out.

Its easy to wash and store too which is such a plus!

We all have those garments that need a cedar closet to keep moths away. 

Storing clothes can become too high maintenance after a while.

Luckily with faux theres no need to worry about that!

This is a vintage gem I found thrifting.

It has a gorgeous retro red lining which is so fun!

This gorgeous chub coat looks good with jeans too!

With jeans I take this look from movie star to rock star.

For this look book I wanted to show the coat in a more glamorous style.

Enjoy, and have a fun,healthy, and Happy New Year!
