Burgundy Gown in the Desert

This is one of my favorite gowns to wear because of the rich color and flowing train, and I usually don't have an occasion to wear it to so it was fun to get to style it for this shoot with Shawna of Bleudog Fotography. Keeping with the Coachella theme, I styled this gown with a zinc gypsy-like belt and camel-colored boots. Shawna also had the idea to shoot gowns down by the beach, so we will most likely do that next! Read details on the look below and if you're heading to Coachella this weekend, have fun!

Talia Ruffled Tank Dress & Knit Kimono for Coachella

Happy Friday everyone! Here's the last look to my 2015 Coachella Style Series featuring a light pink, ruffled tank dress from Talia, worn with a knit kimono, bold cuffs, knee high socks, and riding-inspired boots. I love how cozy and feminine this outfit looks, and it doesn't sacrifice style. Is anyone going this weekend of the next? I'll be in the desert on Saturday ALL DAY for parties and festivities, tweet me! If not, follow me along with other lovely bloggers for our #BLOGCHELLA adventures! Thank you to the amazing Shawna of Bleudog Fotography for capturing the photos for my style series, she is seriously a phenomenal photographer!

Lace Duster & Bralette for Coachella

It's almost the weekend! Here's the third look of my 2015 Coachella Style Series, featuring a blush pink lace bralette and cream floral lace duster. I paired both with high-waisted denim shorts and camel colored riding-style boots with a peek of dainty knee high socks. This outfit has a romantic, country feel to it; but still fitting for Coachella with a bit more skin showing an a gypsy/boho-like belt. As always, this series was shot by photographer Shawna of Bleudog Fotography. Stay tuned for a DIY vibrant floral crown and how it looks with this outfit!

Keep Your Soul Sweet x FFF Bracelet Set

I got to interview bracelet designer Deanna of KYSS (Keep Your Soul Sweet) Bracelets awhile back and during that interview also got to co-design a bracelet set with her. That bracelet set is available for purchase on her recently launched ETSY site! I wanted a set that was neutral with a pop up color (my favorite color: aqua), and here's what she came up with. I styled a casual outfit around our bracelet set, here are the details:
