Last night was simply amazing! I was invited to a private vintage trunk show in Raleigh, NC hosted by Boot & Trunk. This event was for the die-hard vintage lover offering unique, one-of-a-kind, high-quality gorgeous vintage finds. Boot & Trunk is a vintage boutique and offers pop up events in the United States and United Kingdom. What I love so much about this small business is that everything from clothing to accessories is hand-picked with care by the owner, Mary Liles who will literally travel to Timbuktu to find the absolute best vintage items there are on earth. Mary finds are truly one-a-kind, and make you feel special knowing she has searched for the perfect items just for you. The evidence is always clear when Mary has a trunk show that she has taken her time and inspected each item for perfection. I don’t know exactly how she does it, but she manages to offer a constantly refreshed collection of gorgeous unique vintage at a great price. I’m quite sure it’s time-consuming, which makes me appreciate her skill even more. If you were to ever meet her and have a conversation, you’ll immediately gather she eats, sleeps and breathes the vintage lifestyle and is fulfilling her destiny! The atmosphere was extremely comfortable and relaxed which provided the perfect intimate shopping experience. After all, us vintage lovers need to take our time to look, admire, and ponder what the story is behind each piece. One of my favorite things about the evening was running into vintage lover friends, and meeting new friends, such as these ladies enjoying their new treasures....

Don’t mind me. I’m just strolling into this feature wearing flowers and fringe. Is anyone ready for the Memorial Day holiday besides me? It’s been raining in my area for the past several weekends, and I’m really looking forward to some nice dry sunny weather. What ever you’re planning, this is the perfect style inspiration, whether it be a lunch date with girlfriends, or dinner date with your Boo. A true Fashionista knows that no outfit is complete without the perfect pair of shoes. Fringe sandal heels as your main accessory are a great way to show your effortless style. They just add a little something “extra” to any outfit. Take a look at my favorite pair of amazing fringe heels by JustFab. I paired them with a cute white top and floral printed pants. It was the perfect choice, especially for summer! Have a safe and wonderful holiday Loves!

I have a confession. My latest obsession is with jumpsuits. Please tell me I’m not in this alone 🙂 What’s not to love about these gigantic adult glammed up onesies, other than the occasional inconvenience of having to use a public restroom? For me the benefit outweighs the trouble. So let’s talk about three reasons why every woman should own a jumpsuit. Reason #1: They are all-in-one. You literally don’t have to think about what to pair them with. Reason #2: They can be easily dressed up or down. You can easily add a cool blazer or sweater, or opt for sandals instead of heels which completely changes the look. Reason #3: They are easy to pack. This one speaks for itself. Just a few folds and Wala! You have your entire outfit without the hassle of trying to figure it all out. I found this cool jumpsuit at one of my favorite local consignment shops. I love the bold geometric pattern, which almost reminds me of a leopard, but not quite. I paired this with my mama’s vintage hat and it gives it a totally different look. Instant pizzaz! So ladies, don’t be afraid to try a jumpsuit. I promise you there’s one out there for everyone!

This jumpsuit is so comfortable, stylish, and fun! Why not spice up your life with some color? You may think it’s practical to always wear neutral colors, but I’m here to encourage you to rethink that habit. Colors can not only influence your moods and thoughts, they can also make you look stunning. Wearing this many colors can be tricky since not every shade looks good on every skin tone, but the key is knowing what looks good on you, and what you feel comfortable in. This stunning jumpsuit color combination turns an average look into a stunner! If you’re hesitant about wearing this much color, start with a vivid accessory such as a pair of shoes, a bag, or scarf. Another idea when deciding to what to wear with a colorful piece is to swap out your basic neutral piece such as black with a different bright color. Before you know it, you’ll be on your way to making a splash in a bold way!

People tend to shy away from the black and yellow combination because they feel it leads to looking like a bumblebee. I just happen to love the color combination together. Although the colors are basic, the combination of the black and yellow can be a head turner. Adding another color such as white can really make an outfit pop. Today’s outfit is a combination of vintage and new pieces. My high side slit pencil skirt is vintage. It’s a classic piece I’ve owned for quite some time. The long midi length is perfect and the split although a little edgy, is still classy. As I’ve said before, don’t be afraid to flaunt your best features in good taste. The shoes by ShoeDazzle are just plain amazing! I love the black and white stripes against the bright yellow toe. These bad boys sold out immediately. ShoeDazzle and JustFab offer such unique shoes, you have to grab them immediately or you will miss out. As always I encourage you all to take risks with your wardrobe. Try something that’s a bit outside of your comfort zone, however make sure your still comfortable in it. Until next time, “Bee Beautiful”!
