Derek Lam- New York Fashion Week

Some day, I will make it to New York Fashion Week.  Until then, I will peruse the internet and hunt down my favorite designers.  Derek Lam has become one of my favs.  Here are some of his designs that I adore!

 




 I love the vintage inspired hats combined with the equestrian look.  He created such feminine pieces that exuded power and strength.  Love it!

Simply Irresistable

Oh dress, I could not resist buying you.  Thanks to RALEIGH VINTAGE, an amazing new vintage shop on Etsy, for introducing me to my new favorite party dress.  Stay tuned for a blog feature on this new amazing shop!

Now, how am I going to accessorize this amazing 50's gold dress?  Any suggestions?

TRANSITIONS

The seasonal change from winter to spring shows so much beauty and pastels.  February and March holds onto the fresh, nippy, winter weather, but begins to express colors and life.  Here are some pieces from the shop I feel express that. Enjoy!

Also, take 15% off everything in my shop until Wednesday so I can make room for Spring!












 The last pink dress is what I wish I had put up in time for Valentine's Day, but I was getting it cleaned. 

You can find all these pieces in my shop at http://revolvingstyles.etsy.com/

Rain, Rain Go Away

I'm spoiled by California weather, but lately, it's been cold and rainy.  I don't mind the rain or cold actually, but it takes away the sun.  No sun, no photo shoot for me since I depend on natural light.  Also, I'm really excited about my spring collection I've been putting together for the shop.  Here's a quick preview of 2 dresses I adore right now.



Also, here are some other spring looks I'm drooling over.

The Lucie Dress by DACE


Venus Blouse by DACE


and the Aniseed Skirt by Anthropologie.

Hurry up Spring!

Photo Shoot Gone Awry

The sun shined for the first time in 3 days and I missed the most opportune time to shoot photos due to church.  So, I tried to take advantage of the little window of time I had left and asked my husband to shoot me in these new fabulous boots I acquired for the shop.  But, something happened...



My son wanted to be in the picture.  So, photo shoot failed.  And as you can tell b the quality of photos, the light was not right either.  Good times.  Hopefully I'll have better light and a better photo shoot tomorrow!

The end.

You Don't Bring Me Flowers..Anymore

It's that time of year- Valentine's Day, where flowers hike up several hundreds of percent from their original price.  I sang the song from the title once to my husband several years ago as a joke, and the sweet guy ended up delivering flowers to me at the school I taught at that very day.  All the other teachers thought it was the sweetest thing, and so did I.  I leave you with some of my favorite flowers, as well as some "flower" dresses from my shop.  Enjoy!
Hydrangeas- what I'm trying to keep alive on my window sill


pretty orchid arrangement.


I love the hibiscus because it reminds me of Maui, our honeymoon spot.
Also, this table arrangment is gorgeous!


I thought this floral bridal bouquet was very unique- yellow lilies.


my favorite, the breathtaking iceberg rose.
