Color Combo Series #2

Today's color combination is PURPLE & ORANGE! I know that a couple of months ago I said the whole tangerine fiasco wasn't my thing, but it's really growing on me. I seriously need to order some orange something because I only have a couple things. I've created a few outfits to give you some inspiration on this trend...
Purple & Orange



Outfit #1- I love this look. You can wear it to dinner, on a date, even to the office as long as you keep the blazer on. There are some touches of turquoise in the jewelry and the handbag to compliment those AWESOME beaded heels. You could also dress this down by adding a rocker tee and combat/moto boots.

Outfit #2- A loose top is comfortable (especially on hot days) and when paired with high waist pleated shorts it ups the style factor. One thing I hate is seeing a woman in all over loose fitting clothes. You can avoid looking frumpy by keeping either the top or bottom more fitted. These shorts will still be a tad loose but the cut fits closer to the body, that's why this works. To balance it out I kept the accessories on the chunky side. 

Outfit #3- Doesn't this make you want to go to a music festival, or any outdoorsy festival? This look is totally boho from the palazzo pants to the jewelry, to the handbag, and the denim bolero. 

I am definitely trying this color combination out in the near future. 1 thing I've realized while doing this post...I need to get those beaded heels!

Gracelynn Rose Designs & GIVEAWAY

Today I'm very excited to introduce everyone to Gracelynn Rose Designs! The owner, Stephanie, is one of my closest and dearest friends that I consider more of a sister. The first time we met it was instant friendship, now we've known each other for 5 years. Even though we're currently thousands of miles apart it's as if we never left. Swirly Pink Black Lampwork Swarovski Crystal Bracelet Stephanie has been designing her own jewelry since 2001 and selling it to customers along with a few stores. Each design is her own, delicately handcrafted, and unique. She did an entire jewelry line based on Twilight (which of course I loved every piece) that was so beautiful AND she sold a line of pearl & crystal bracelets to David's Bridal and those were stunning. For my birthday Stephanie sent me a pair of earrings in the mail and I fell in love with them and wear them every chance I get. Might I add that they are 1 of a kind, not another pair like them...   It...

Short on Inspiration?

HOLY COW! There is so much inspiration out there for denim shorts! Usually I'm more of a skirt/dress person in the spring and summer, but I'm just really feeling all the cool shorts out there and wanna be a part of it all. I wish you could all come to my house and have a big ole' DIY party, sip on mojitos, laugh, and have a good time. Instead it looks like the hubby is gonna be helping me out because I can't wait any longer to do this. Originally I was going to wait on this post until after I finished making the shorts, but I just couldn't wait. I mean can you tell how excited I am about this?  Okay, so I can't tell you ALL the ideas that are running around in my mind that I'm sure is run by mignons , then there would be no element of surprise. But here are a few... My two faves are the purple & green dyed and the flag shorts! Tonight I am going to the Airmen's Attic to scout around for good denim that I can turn around and destroy. The Airme...
