70's Vibes














Channeling some super 70's vibes with this look today. I love the fact that bell bottoms are back in style! Don't get me wrong - I'm all about the skinny jean, but bell bottoms are a fun variation from the norm. Plus, this pair just so happens to be high rise - which is the cherry on top (see ya muffin top). 

Stripes have always been my favorite pattern (closely rivaled by polka dots and plaid), so any chance I have to add more stripes to my closet, I do. This long sleeve striped top from Vintage Willow is made of a super comfy ribbed material and has a cute ruffled back. I'm a true believer that you can never own too many stripes (even if I do have 15 stripe shirts). 

And obviously any 70's look has to be topped off with a head scarf. Every time I go to a thrift store I always look at their head scarves. You can find vintage scarfs for crazy cheap - and just throw them in the wash and they're like new! I also layered 4 different necklaces because when in doubt, add more jewelry. And I HAVE to share my excitement because I finally found a locket with my initials on it! There's a fabulous local shop, Mae's, which carries all the vintage jewelry of your dreams. I've been searching for a locket with my initials engraved on it for forever and they finally found this beauty! It's from the 1920's and I'm absolutely obsessed. Always makes me wonder who wore it before me.

Details on this look are below! Enjoy your weekend loves!

New Years Eve













So, we had big plans for this photoshoot. We had three outfits and three locations picked out for weeks - and then mother nature decided to intervene. The day of this photoshoot just so happened to be the armageddon of rainy days. We were under flash flood warnings, the salon was leaking, and we were a HOT MESS. But the show must go on. So we rallied and decided to do all of the pictures in/around the salon and they turned out awesome! Super crazy, moody and vintage.

I worked with April from Freckled Fox Photography and Emily from Crown Beauty Bar to style some crazy fun NYE looks! The first look is a little more casual, but super edgy. I paired a sequin boxy crop top with leather leggings. Emily styled it with some big, teased hair and a bold lip. This look would be perfect for those of you going out with the girls this NYE or just hanging out with friends! The second look is a little dressier and perfect for those of you with formal party plans. A sequin dress is always a NYE go-to, but it's typically freezing - so obviously a fur coat adds a little warmth, but keeps the glam feel. Emily added a victory roll for a vintage touch.

And what's NYE without a little tinsel and champagne? I hope you all enjoyed the holidays and have a happy new year! See you all in 2016.
