Printed in the Breeze

The focus for this post is the gorgeous printed cardigan. The cardigan was designed by another designer that I worked with. My part was I took the blank garment and chose this amazing sublimation print that I thought was perfect for a light over layer piece. It's made out of chiffon so I will probably be wearing it a lot this spring/summer. Ok, maybe into fall too. It's California! An awesome plus is it makes for a very stylish comfy robe to wear around the house as well!

OUTFIT: bandeau; old navy, shorts and bangel; santee alley, watch; target, bracelet; gift from thailand, wedge; citadel mall.

January weather, really?

I cannot believe the weather in January here in Southern California. Everywhere else north east of us have been forecasting the ice caps and I am doing a post with light layers focused on this fringe owl number and stretchy lace leggings I designed. So there you go!

OUTFIT: necklace; santee alley, hoodie; urbanoufitters, tank and legging; my design, watch; target

PUT YOUR HANDS WHERE I CAN SEE THEM!

 I am in love with this concept! So many different versions came up while brainstorming on the idea (by myself). I won't bore you with all of them, only this one... This concept is not suitable for young girls because its suggestive graphics but I definitely think it is something fun I encourage for the mature young ladies (or young at heart) with quirky unapologetic minds. I mean, you just can't care if a few people are offended by a couple of hand prints on a shirt. But really I didn't notice any horrible looks from a single person while wearing this all around Santa Monica with people from all over the world. I live to dress another day:)

OUTFIT: sunglasses; dress barn (yep), earrings, bangle, pearl necklaces; santee alley, purse; ross, top; my print on H&M tee, skirt; H&M, wedge; citadel mall (can't remember store name, eek!)

1 BANDEAU 3 WAYS

This tribal print is soooo fun that I was inspired to make sooo many things with it! I had to start with something so my first immediate spark of genius was a BANDEAU!! Why not start with that? How not? The print and color just shouts something fun like that. Something even cooler about this bandeau is that you can wear it three ways; printed, solid or both. AH HUH. Now, I cannot take credit for the rest of the outfit but I can tell you who are. Necklace from Santee Alley, H&M button up shirt, Forever21 skirt and purse, and Bobbi Blu wedge from Nordstrom. So here it is worn in printed and color blocked. Solid version in a post coming soon with another creation in this print. Camera work by Crispin Vara.
