Festival Fashion

Well ladies, Coachella is just around the corner!! Do you guys have all your Festival outfits ready??

I'm excited to be finally going!! Nothing better than being surrounded by live music, friends, and all the Festival Fashion, of course!

This bag fits all my daily-bag-must-have criteria: Fringey, suede and ginormous.  Might be too big for Coachella though. Better off wearing my smaller Spell Designs crossover fringe bag. Ya!

This statement necklace is everything...

This is my very first Mink Pink top I ever owned, from four yeas ago, and it's STILL a goodie! I can't believe how much the company has grown!

A hat might be a good call, since it's in the desert and everything...

I own way too many pairs of these Bells for Trader Joe's to handle.

What will YOU be wearing to Coachella???

Effortless Boho Chic

       Though I tend to dress according to my mood, and perhaps location ( I've never worn so much black in my life than when I was in New York) my style tends to lean more towards the boho-chic, easy Cali vibe on a day to day basis.  The trick to making this look work is just that, be literally effortless with it.

        

That's why I loooove this mini dress by One Teaspoon.  It serves the same purpose as a maxi dress ( in that, you put one on and throw on some jewelry and suddenly you look put together with no effort at all) but it is a mini dress, which is a godsend for petite girls like me because it won't swallow up my figure like some maxi dresses can.

   As for accessorizing, I have been guilty in the past (and probably still will be in the future) of doing the whole arm party and ring fiesta ( I just coined that term..I know, I know, stop trying to make fetch happen!) thing.  It's hard not to when boho chic accessories/details are all my favorites: turquoise, feathers, lace, stones, crystals…I could wear them all!! The more the merrier! Ha!

But this stunning quartz crystal necklace by Paradigm Design is a showstopper enough by itself and didn't need much more so I wore it solo and just threw on some bangles.  I  love the length of the necklace.  It stops at a perfect spot just above my heart, which is perfect since crystals are said to have healing properties. (How so boho-hippie-chic of me! )

To complete the look, I put on a braided tan belt to cinch the  loose fit of the dress and to break up my petite frame. Threw on some House of Harlow tortoise sunnies, sandals and of course, some fringe!! Voila!! Boho chic done effortlessly! :)

Be Young, Wild and Free

I discovered Wild & Free Jewelry while casually browsing on Instagram last summer.  I was taken by all the beautiful photos of custom made boots and immediately contacted Corina Brown, the designer and owner of Wild & Free Jewelry. Excited at the prospect of having custom made boots for myself that no one else would have, I went ahead and ordered two pairs!  She basically finds vintage cowboy boots for you, which she refurbishes and adorns to your liking, whether it be with lace and floral (me, me!) or a southwestern vibe with turquoise (me, too, me, too!) or any ideas you may have, really.  I love that not only will no one else have your custom made boots, (since you are creating it together) but the right and left boot aren't exactly identical either.  I really appreciate finding unique pieces like this, when even today's boutiques seem to carry mass produced product.  Not to mention that Wild & Free Jewelry's hippie bohemian vibe is all me! :)

Not only does she make amazing custom made boots, but she also has a plethora of other unique pieces like rings, headdresses, jewelry, tie dyed short shorts (perfect for Coachella, which is coming up!!) and flannels.  I'm loving my most recent Wild & Free Jewelry piece, a vintage mint and lavender flannel which she fringed in the back and added studs on the shoulder and alongside the top of the fringes on the back, as per my request.  

Throw on a white tank, cut offs, boots and some turquoise and crystal jewelry and I was feeling Wild & Free, indeed! xoxo

It's Boho, Babe

Perhaps my everyday go-to look would probably be what I call "Boho Hippie Chic."  Why? Well, cuz not only is it easy and comfy...but for me, it truly reflects my personality.  I'm a Pisces-Virgo-Virgo that's a true hippie at heart...a free spirit that just really comes from a place of love. <3 That, and I'm really really drawn to fringe, turquoise, Southwestern and vintage pieces, mixed with some new, chic, trendy pieces. Voila! Brands like Free People and Novella Royale were created just for girls like me, and thus the "Boho Hippie Chic" look was born...or "reborn," should I say! :)

I spotted this most amazing maxi skirt at Varga Boutique and just really fell in love with the hippie-inspired print, and the fact that it was a maxi skirt. That gave me the option to pair it with several different tops, like maybe a loose tee with a statement necklace, or with a neutral-colored  tube top like the brown own pictured here, which I wore in the summer, to show just a bit of of skin. Hey, just cuz it's "hippie" doesn't mean it can't be sexy. :)  Throw on some aviators, wear your hair down, carry your favorite fringey bag and sing some Tiny Dancer.  That's Boho, babe! xoxo
