My Style: Ravishing Retro

R

ose printed organza was used to make the most beautiful, retro styled dress in this little dream creation by Chicwish.  The sheer material is gorgeous with lining from the chest through the skirt, with every detail made with quality.  For the styling, I added two of my favorite accessories:  round sunglasses and black booties.  Because of the floppy-bow collar, I chose not to wear a necklace but did select some pretty rings.  Lastly, I chose a classy purse that went well with the retro feel of the dress.  Hope you like this outfit as much as I do :)  Xoxo, Shelly

My Style: Wanderlust

Who's in the mood to travel for summer vacation?  I am!  I have a couple more finals on Monday and then I will officially have my two-year degree.  Yes, I decided to take a breather and not intern this summer.  Is that so awful?  I'm only a sophomore in college. . .  I hope to relax, rejuvenate, but also focus on blogging and get some stunning photos in great places ranging from southern Cali beaches to northern Nevada ranches.  This look expresses my yearning to travel and explore through beautiful Charlotte Russe items from the colorful serape head wrap that reminds me of South America to the western fringed boots that remind me of all the places to explore here in the West.  The dip-dye, high-low top is the softest rayon, and the shredded shorts are such a beautiful color.  The summer is an empty scrapbook and I can't wait to fill it!  I would love to hear about your summer plans in the comments! :)  Xoxo, Shelly

My Style: Don't Go Chasing Waterfalls

Today’s Look:  was photographed in front of an 80 foot waterfall that is part of a nature trail at the luxurious Loew’s Ventanna Canyon Resort in Tucson, Arizona.  Every summer my family and I enjoy staying here and experiencing all that Tucson has to offer.  From delicious food at local restaurants to glamorous scenery and fabulous shopping, it's a trip I always enjoy.  This year was also special because I visited one of my favorite stores that just opened a location in Tucson, Immediate Fashion Company.  I took pictures of the visit and definitely scored some amazing goodies that I can't wait to share!  This crop-top is from Immediate and was the starting piece of today's look.  I love the vibrant sunflower print and cut of the top; so to complement the focal point, I paired the top with a simple black skater skirt and pair of black platform booties. Accessorizing, I chose a thick, gold chain necklace and cut-out metal lace rimmed sunglasses in gold amber. To bring out more of the browns in the sunflowers, I chose a fun phone case in brown with tan polka dots. To top it off, these photos were taken in between monsoon rain showers in 106 degree weather—soooooo I apologize if I look a little wrecked.  Please let me know your secret for fabulous hair during the hot, humid summers or hairstyles that you recommend.  I would love to hear your thoughts :) Xoxo, Shelly

Beauty Tip:  On a humid, hot day, a side braid is the perfect solution to unruly hair.  Also, for monsoon season here in AZ, it's a must!
