Fell in love

with these brilliant platforms....

To continue with the 70's patterns and design, I thought I would share my recent Instagram of my new gorgeous platform boots. I was on the search for new platforms and looking for your basic black leather, taupe suede, or mint leather platforms, when these babies caught my eye. Not only do I have a love for 70's patterns, but this was a great pick for my summer wardrobe! The bright color palette, the boho hippie pattern, and platform are perfect to wear with any dress, skirt or pair of shorts. Like I said in one of my recent posts, platforms are a must for your summer shoe selection, not just the typical cute sandals. This is definitely one of those pairs of shoes, and I'm sure you have all experienced this, where you want to create every outfit around them and never take them off. So get ready because the following outfit posts will include my new babies ;))

Chic Flow

Chic flow is the first phrase that came to mind when I looked through these pictures. The flowy unbuttoned shirt, the hair in the wind and the all black with a hint of taupe look. I based this whole outfit off of the long sheer button-up I purchased a while ago and have only worn once! It felt necessary to wear it unbuttoned to give it the flowy hippie look that it deserves. I felt inspired by all of the great Coachella outfits i've seen from last weekend. I am loving the tribal design right now.

Working around the shirt, I decided to that I did not want to take away from the length, so I though i'd wear my short vintage, little black dress. It really brought out the design and emphasized on the taupe color of the shirt. The platform boots gave this the chic twist because I could've easily chosen a pair of cute flat sandals. The platform boot, whether it be Jeffrey Campbell Litas or simple platform booties, are a must for the upcoming summer. Wearing them with a pair of high-waisted shorts is a great summer boho look. 

I finished this look with my unique Volcom fringe bag, Vintage Rachel Zoe style sunglasses, a teal feather, and a tribal necklace bought in a random vintage/music store in Soho, NY. I hope everyone enjoys this look and is inspired to go out and shop for summer!

Have a wonderful day

Bohemian Rhapsody

Hello fellow fashionistas!!!!

I was out shopping with a friend, who was picking out Vegas outfits, when I came along this beautiful dress! It was on sale and the last in my size, and I had to have it! I'm sure that's happened to all of you. It's like it was meant to be, right?! Well, that is how I felt with this skirt. I don't have to many maxi-type skirts or pleated skirts, and this is actually a great combination in my opinion. This skirt inspired my bohemian look for the day. Wearing it with my laced crop top and platform boots. That just screamed out 70's Boho!

I had to accessorize appropriately with the layered bangles and a pendant necklace. I used a few different bags trying to keep the warm tone of the outfit, but the last bag I had to wear! The last bag as you will see is bright 70's design satchel. It was almost wrong not to wear it with this outfit. That bag is great for the spring/ summer time. The clutches are both very detailed and leather. I hope everyone enjoys the outfit. Please, let me know what you think? :))
