Beach Vibe

I have been dreaming of the beach. I can't wait until Memorial Day weekend when we are going on our annual St. Pete Beach, Florida adventure.

I can already smell the salty air and feel the warm salty water on my skin.

The other thing that really makes me love the beach is that lips are bright pink, I love the pink melon colored lipglosses at the beach. I also love the different blue hues. Horizontal stripes are usually a no go for me because I am hippy (horizontal stripes make you look a bit wider); but at the beach stripes are all the rage. You can get away with stripes because they are so fun and nautical.

So due to my beachy mood here is a nautical style post.

What do you think girls?

Boho Chic

This is one of my all time favorite trends. Boho Chic!

The hippie era was seriously a time where I should have been born, alas I was born instead in the late 80's. I had to grow up with one of my least favorite trends, 90's grunge. Though I was lucky enough to have had a mother that was a teenage hippie once upon a time. So I got a lot of great beauty tips from her. Seriously girls in that era spent way more time on their look than we do haha. She actually told me a story of her and her best friend at 14 years old spending hours separating each individual eyelash to mascara. I like to think I am a patient person, that is however something that I have no abundance of patience for.

 I am ecstatic that the boho (hippie) look has made such a comeback. It's actually one of the reasons I love looking at celebrity fashion from Coachella. Nina Dobrev and Vanessa Hudgens never disappoint me with their retro looks.

Great boho pieces found after celeb pictures.

So without further ado, here are some really great boho pieces.

Taylor Swift's Preppy Style For Less

Get Taylor Swift's preppy look for under $50.

Taylor's style is very preppy and girly. It is a great style. She incorporates a lot of stripes, lace, a line skirts and dresses and bows. She usually pairs this off with her blunt bangs and signature red lipstick.

Here are some great pieces to help you achieve Taylor's preppy style for less.

The links for the pieces are listed below.

Etsy-Love for local artists

I decided to do a feature on the local business man.

 I wanted to share love about the truly gifted people that can craft things with their hands that are good enough to actually sell. I can make things, but never anything on the level that people would purchase, or that I would feel comfortable enough to put out there.

 It really is amazing the talent that so many people have. I would love to showcase all the artwork and home wears but alas this is a fashion blog. Don't take this to mean that these are the only good things to buy on etsy. No way, there are thousands of items for sale that are worth browsing. Even if you aren't looking to purchase anything, it's worth a look just to get your breath taken away by the amazing talent of our fellow man.

I support the etsy artists because they aren't world famous designers, there wares aren't being marketed in department stores. These are people making things because they love it.

 So here are some really great fashion finds that Etsy has to offer. Don't forget to browse the site though, because these are only a couple things, there are thousands of items worth looking at.
