Medieval Times

Perhaps the prairie dress trend was just that..A
 trend, but I still love wearing it!!!
I enjoy the romance of a loose floral printed maxi skirt,
 and those laced up bodices that are straight out of a fairytale!!
This is quite a unique piece I discovered!
While browsing through a vintage shop I found this unusually green colored dress.
To me this looks to be a Gunnesax dress that had been dyed green.
I think its awesome! I love the green color.
The burgundy velvet trim looks almost royal from a Medieval time period.
I took it to Ireland with me and did an incredible shoot by this big beautiful lake.
I felt like a Princess in this dress!
This summer I'm going to try to make a few prairie inspired looks for myself.
I need more maxi skirts in a lot more colors!
I know by this point we have had way too many trends thrown at us.
The key is to take your favorite looks and mix and match them to what is uniquely you.
Happy Styling!

Now that its spring a lot of us are thinking about what styles to choose for our wardrobe.

An off the shoulder peasant dress is one of my favorite styles to wear!! 

I enjoy those renaissance Medieval looks.

I always go bohemian for summer.

I enjoy wearing fabrics like Gauze,denim,leather, sheer chiffon's,and rayon's.

This denim blue gauze dress is one of my own designs!!

I made this myself and it will be available on shabbybabe.com next week.

If theres one thing I'm always in search for and never find,

 its a cute denim blue mini dress.

I love that this dress is comfortable,and easy to get in and out of.

One thing I know for sure is extremely tight clothing in the summer is a no go.

That's true for me anyway.

I love boots,but this dress would look just as beautiful with sandals or flats.

I'm currently working on more cute pieces for the collection.

Each one is very feminine and sweet!

The landscapes of Ireland are so fairytale!! 

Every road and path looks like an old castle road. 

On this chilly morning in Ireland I just wasn't in the mood to put on a dress. 

Being that it was the day for boots and jeans I wanted to shoot this adorable denim bustier top! 

This is one of my own designs thats available on the Shabbybabe Etsy store. 

Its a fun piece! I love anything thats denim!

I sewed this leather beret to match. 

Surprisingly the bustier top truly fit the Medieval theme of the Irish landscape. 

I needed darker makeup for the shoot too.

I don't wear darker shades of lipstick enough as I should.

As I've mentioned before,

"Violetta" by MAC is one of my most favorite darker lipsticks.

Its not too dark and not too hot pink.

I highly suggest it if your looking for something fresh and colorful for a lipstick.

Hope your enjoying the month of April as much as I am.

Theres so much more to come in May,

that I'm so excited to share with you!

The Cliffs of Moher & Galway!

I don't think any of us travel enough! 

Once you leave your homeland you truly start to see how big the world is..

One of the highlights of my trip to Ireland was seeing "The Cliffs of Moher"

It was a spectacular sight!! Photos can not do it justice.

The cliffs are located on the coast of Clare, Ireland.

I passed by green fields and lots of gorgeous farmland.

I knew it would be cold so I dressed simple that day.

I wore this vintage red leather moto jacket all over Clare and Galway.

Galway,Ireland was also a blast! 

There are so many pubs,shops and live music there! 

If you want to experience a taste of Irish culture visit Galway.

Its a beautiful medieval village with a wide river and Celtic churches.

The sun was very bright so I'm happy I had my RayBan Sunglasses on me.

I bought these special for the trip to Ireland.

When on vacation I feel that an essential accessory to have is a great pair of shades.

Its always good to take a trip to clear our minds and to start on a new page when we return.
