Something Old, Something New

So Long Summer, But First.....

On the blog today I am taking a few of my summer favorites out for a final spin.  I am not a big straw bag carrying girl, but this little cutie stole my heart.  I honestly think this bag is tolerable for me because it's the perfect compact size, and it's not entirely straw.  Straw bags were very big this summer thanks to the all coveted cult gaia bamboo handbag.  Literally every influencer across the globe were on Instagram posing with the cult gaia handbag.

Next up, I wanted to introduce my vintage robe to the blog.  The kids nowadays call them kimonos, but this baby is a robe.  I paired my robe and straw bag with a basic white cami and straight leg jeans.  I kept the outfit very simple.  The light blue robe has amazing details, large white magnolias trimmed with sequins.  It's also lightweight, and perfect for layering.  I would encourage you all to invest in a robe or kimono to layer in when transitioning through the seasons.

Vintage Inspired Dress ft. Charming Charlie

Hey guys, I'm BACKKKK!!!  Sorry if you guys have been feeling a bit deserted by my absence.  I am still here blogging, and styling up outfits with hints of vintage flair.  However, I have been concentrating a lot more on professional styling, and building my online store.

When I first started this blog it was my outlet.  I wanted to tap into my love for fashion, and create a style diary of sorts.  I had begun to challenge myself with style.  I recall attempting to not repeat outfits for an entire year, and I was actually able to do it.  So then I thought maybe I should document this.  Thus was the birth of my personal style blog. 

Fast forward to now, after blogging on and off for nearly 5 years, quitting my legal job and moving to London, I can proudly say that I have a career in fashion, butunfortunately sometimes work doesn't allow me to blog as much.  **priorities man**  However, I promise to work harder to be more visible on this platform.  You guys are my friends, and I love that even when I go on a hiatus, I can always comeback and you all are right here.

The Gloom Invoked The Mood

Back again in the Girbauds.  Yes I am answering my "man repeller" calling.  They may be fugly to you, but these jeans are growing on me guys so don't point and laugh if you see me in them around town.  And I am discovering they are quite versatile.

This time I took a few shots in the studio.  I remember this day was pretty gloomy so there wasn't much natural sunlight coming in, and it was the end of a long day for me...as you can probably tell from my face.  Thankfully Howard made me take these pics of my outfit that day because I love them all.  Editing was pretty hard this week, so yep I have 9 pics featured.  Hope you guys enjoy them.  I feel another style evolution happening.  I am comfortable with that.
