My Style: Sticks & Stones

Less than ten days until Spring Break, but who's counting the days? (ME.) As you know, I'm loving the bohemian vibes this spring.  A sequined dress paired with over-the-knee boots makes a stunning combination.  I styled the combo with a long, black shrug, a wide-brimmed fedora hat, a copper purse, a delicate silver moon pendant necklace, and a skull ring to add an edge.

Right now, I'm working on my art portfolio, getting ready to complete my Associate of Applied Science in Graphic Design.  As an artist, I find it kind of funny how many of my designs are feminine with bright colors, while my favorite color for fashion is black (you know, boho grunge with an edge.)  Personal expression comes in so many forms and can be so different depending on what you are doing.  I adore creative freedom and the ability to be eclectic and flexible, ever changing.  If you are interested, you can check out my portfolio in progress here:  behance.net/sweetbellv7fab

Free People X Arizona Girl

Pure joy is the only way to describe how I felt when I received an email from Free People (FP) clothing asking me to collaborate.  One of my favorite clothing companies, the FP label is known to embody the independent, creative, bold, free-spirited woman.  FP designers travel the world for inspiration and enlightenment, resulting in beautiful clothes and accessories that epitomize bohemian luxury both in quality and comfort.  For my styling, I selected this "Faithful Shaggy Jacket" in Sand and paired it with one of my favorite FP dresses.  This little black dress has stripes in velvet and a perfect cut with a deep V back.  I added a gorgeous FP necklace, some rustic gold rings, over-the-knee socks, tall black boots, and a soft-as-butter pleather purse.  So, I received one of my Christmas wishes early in the form of a warm, chic jacket.  I hope you all get your Christmas wishes.  I'd love to hear what was your favorite gift received this year :)  Xoxo Shelly
