Skirt

Today I made a skirt. That's right. Made.  I sat and cut and pinned and sewed and the end result was a skirt!  It was such a fun and rewarding experience. I paired my new skirt with my  Truly Madly Deeply tiger crop top, and loose, fluffy ended braids. I opted for no makeup, liking that the skirt was the brightest color and drew the most attention. I love my new skirt!

Buttons

My friend Helen Petty is a fantastic photographer and we love going out on photo walks together. Last time she snapped a few pictures of me and is letting me use them here! I felt a little retro so I paired a mustard knee length skirt with round brown buttons with a brown button down blouse that I tied at the waist. I accented with a red head band and my favorite lipstick. I finished off the outfit with mismatching earrings, cat eyed sunnies, a long coat, my utility boots and my turkish carpet bag.

 Shirt: No Rest for Bridget, Skirt/Jacket/Sunnies: Urban Outfitters, Bag: Turkey

Let's hope it Spring sticks around.

Hot Boston

Oh the lovely heat in Boston. How is it my warm California home is cold when I visit, but my supposed to be freezing Boston home is a toaster? Well I am not complaining now. I get to shed the tights and wear dresses, skirts and shorts with my lovely pale bare legs!

Velvet Blazer is Free People, tank-top is Free People, shorts are cut off men's pants from Target, floral scarf is Target, sandals are from Italy, belt is hand-me-down from grandma

I hope the heat stays!

ps. what do you think of the scarves in hair trend? I personally am obsessed. 

Pretty Hippie

With summer heat beating down on Beantown, pretty fashions are breaking out all over the streets.  Alex Hyken looked lovely today in a Hippie inspired ensemble. The flowing pink top works perfectly in the summery heat. She is rocking a flared jean with adorable brown sandals. She has such a breezy summer style, and how cute is her bag? 

What is your favorite way to dress in the heat?

Denim on Denim

Denim is great. It is versatile, it is comfortable, it is durable, it is fashionable. The important thing to remember when doing denim on denim is to mix the shades so the outfit is not too matching. Helen Petty works the denim on denim fabulously.  Mixing a darker washed skinny jean, rolled at the ankles w, with a light denim vest looks great with her black and white striped sweater. And check out her pretty necklace!

How do you feel about mixing denims?

Spring Break

This has little to do with fashion... more with life. I had such a relaxing break and it really inspired me and helped me make some life decisions, so I decided to share a little with you! I went on a quick road trip to visit my friends up at their college in SLO and the lovely California coast view through the window just invigorated me. Here are a few quick photos of things that made me happy on the trip. Pictures of fashion to come! I promise.

I hope everyone is enjoying Spring!!
