Adele - Rolling In The Deep



So i'm on a roll today with these posts! I'm sitting at one of my favorite coffee shops and am just feeling inspired to share my thoughts and loves. I wanted to share with you a video of a singer/songwriter I really admire and am seeing in concert in MAY with a good friend of mine!

The way she belts out notes is unbelievable. I love her vintage look too;) Enjoy=)

*Shoes of Prey*

Ok, SO I don't know if any of you gals have heard of this website but it's pretty much a shoe fanatics dream! The website is called Shoes Of Prey. You have to check it out =) You can choose a number of different types of shoes and then design them any way you'd like. Different colors, patterns, skins, leathers etc. It is pretty pricey but can you imagine having a one of a kind designed high heel that you designed?! I'm pretty excited about it =)



I decided to design somewhat of a Spring shoe! I chose a wedge (of course) and thought the t-strap connecting to multiple straps was a fun look. I chose Floral Snakeskin for the t-strap and toe, Patent leather pink, green, blue, yellow and white to complement the floral in the snakeskin and the same color blue for the trim and back. I think it'd look pretty awesome as an actual shoe =) Maybe I can convince myself to spend the $$$!

How would you design your perfect shoe?!

Pleats & Lace for Spring!

I've read and seen on runways that pleats and lace are a big trend for spring! This excited me!! There's nothing more girly than a flowy skirt with beautiful chiffon pleats. The way it moves when you walk and blows in the wind reminds me of a 1930's Audrey Hepburn.

With all that said, I was excited to share with you two pieces that just arrived in the store I work at , Club Monaco!!



The skirt on the left is the "Pamera" skirt. It comes in this beautiful rosy color and black. It's very flattering and can be worn a number of ways! The lace skirt on the right has a certain romance to it, it's very dainty yet rugged, being made out of 100% cotton. EVERY girl at my work is purchasing one. It's a piece you can have forever.

I found these shoes on UrbanOg.com and thought they'd be a perfect accent! They are flirty and fun but not as intricate as the skirt so they compliment each other well. The nude color would be perfect to pair with the skirt and a rose colored top for a nice brunch or dinner. The black pair would be perfect with the skirt for a night out with the girls or a hot date! Pair with a sexy simple top and a black blazer and you're ready to go!

La Photoshoot



I thought I'd post a picture I did about a year ago from my modeling portfolio! This was done for a photographers thesis show during college I did for fun. I wore my favorite little vintage lace top that contrasted great with my tattoo, and the hair and make-up really pulled the look together =).

A little Balenciaga Lace for this Friday night!!!



I love everything about this photo. The composition, set, pose, and of course the elegance of this detailed lace dress. Sooo stunning!! The photographer does a great job creating a story with one capture. As the viewer I wonder what she's looking at, where she is going in that beautiful dress and what she might be thinking. It's such a capturing photo I could look at all day.

Camera Fun


Just thought I'd post somewhat of a fun picture of myself. I never sport a Red Lip (although I'd love to, it doesn't compliment my facial shape) but this was during an outtake from a photo shoot! I took it with my phone and then used the "retro cam" app on my iphone. I LOVE using it!

Forever Vintage




Today I decided I wanted to create an outfit from one of my favorite budget friendly stores...yes, Forever 21. Who doesn't love them?! Whether you're an avid shopper or the occasional browser, I'm sure you've left the store with something. I hunted on their website through mostly their new stuff, to create a fun "Vintage Inspired" outfit! Although none of this is technically vintage, it replicates a vintage look beautifully and that's all that matters! AND the outfit as a whole is all under $75!! I just might have to buy this =) A perfect outfit to welcome Spring for sure.
