Yeehaw!!!

Wilfred Maxi Dress, Zara Fringe Boots, Vintage Belt, Vintage Earrings

I was drooling over these Zara boots FOREVER and decided to finally take the plunge. Am I glad I did! I literally have been wearing them with everything from dresses, to leggings, to cutoff denim. Are you guys loving the fringe detail as much as I am?

Can't Get Enough...ETSY


Hi loves!!! I must confess something...I have an unhealthy obsession with Etsy. I could scour the pages of amazing vintage and handmade designs for hours and hours on end (ok fine, not could, DO!! I mean CONSTANTLY). In my opinion there is nothing cooler than knowing you have a one of a kind piece. Here are some of my fav shops so you can obsess with me!! <3

One Dress, Two FAB Ways

I found this dress on Shopbop and fell madly in love. The high-low hem creates a fresh take on the classic LBD. While looking for ways to style it I automatically went for bright colors and a go to bootie (ALWAYS a go to for me). Then I thought, "How could I convince my gorgeous friend, Ana, to obsess over this dress?" See Ana has a completely different aesthetic than me. I'm very "over the top" and she is more "laid back". So I created a version to match her style. She inspired the styling on the right! I will let you guys know if she approves, LOL ;) Have a FAB weekend lovers!!

Lots of Love xoxo

Tie Dye For

Chelsea Flower Vest (adorable style here), Leu by Wilfred Dress, L.A.M.B Heels, Micha Design Cuff

We must talk about these shoes. I saw them in Vegas and fell madly in love, but they didn't have my size so I left devastated. I was about to board my flight and I had to buy them right there in the airport on my phone. I HAD to! I could not wait one more second. We were destined to be together...HA! Obviously when I received them in the mail I was beyond excited to wear them. One problem...I noticed they were my first pair of shoes with an ankle strap. I mean I am a shoe addict, how did I not try out this style before? I experimented a lot trying to figuring out what to wear them with. I wanted to show off the detail of the shoe, but I didn't want them to make my legs look shorter  (I def can't afford that to happen!!) So here are some tips I learned throughout my trials and errors: 
    1. Stick to basic colors--let the shoe stand out and make sure the colors are complimenting the shoe, not competing with it 
    2. Avoid capris or pants that cut you off at the calf--it creates a distraction, which cuts your leg off in a strange place. You won't look as long and lean
    3. Avoid form fitting styles--I found a more loose silhouette was more leg-lengthening
I would love to hear how you would wear these shoes! Let me know your thoughts :)

Lots of Love xoxo
