70's Mom

Sometimes when I wake up in the morning and stand in front of my closet asking myself who I want to be that day, the only logical answer is 70's mom. I mean who doesn't want to sit at home all day baking, listening to records, and getting drunk off of martinis? OK, OK I know that most women in the 70's were not like this but this is what my grandma was doing so I'm sticking with it. My goal in life is to be a 70's mom.

High wasted jeans, platform sandals, and a brown shirt tied at the stomach is all I needed to create my mom look. Brown is THE color this season, at least for me. I have been stocking up on brown sandals and tops. The Reformation has all of the most beautiful brown clothing right now, so I suggest you hop on over to their website. Shop my look below to channel your inner 70's mom.

Secret Garden

 When you've lived in downtown Austin (or any small eclectic city) for as long as I have you start to obtain a lot of secret spots. Spots that are away from the hustle and bustle of the city, spots that are so quiet they make you realize how loud your life really is, spots that make you feel like time doesn't exist anymore. My favorite spot is the secret garden. Plants, flowers, and beautiful architecture are lavishly abundant in the garden. No one is ever around, and I have always kind of felt like I was the missing key (note the giant keyhole) to this place. I spend all day here sometimes, so it is important for me to dress properly to withstand the Texas heat. This poncho from Free People is a must have piece for warmer months, it is enough material to help prevent sunburn and mosquito bites, and it is also light and airy so you won't get overheated wearing it. I truly believe that every bohemian girl needs a nice poncho. Shop my look below!

Festival Ready

Festival season is upon us once again. It's the time of the year when people from all over the world get together, let their hair down, and put aside their differences for a weekend filled with good music, good dancing, and good vibes. I love this time of year, one of my favorite components of festival season is getting to see everyone's take on festival style. A sea of flower crowns, printed bell bottoms, floppy hats, Bindi, hair chalk, feather headdresses, and crotchet tops surround you. It's actually quite beautiful and amazing. Women who are usually wearing tailored suits and high heels are running around in moccasins and rompers, sipping beer and dancing with their friends. It's that one time of the year when you can let go of everything and just be free. This is one of my many takes on festival fashion, these Novella Royale bells are lightweight and perfect for a music festival. And really, can you actually go to a music festival without a Grateful Dead shirt? I would like to see you try. Happy festival season my friends, shop my look below!

We Could Step Into The Sun

  Today was a great day to be living in Texas, It was 75 degrees and sunny all day. Hot and sunny in January...can you believe it?! A lot of people don't give this state enough credit. Don't get me wrong, when I graduate from university I am getting the hell out of here, but there really is so much beauty in this state. Days like today make me thankful and happy. Of course on my happy days I want to wear fun and happy clothes. These pants from Novella Royale are a dream come true. They are fun, flattering, and they make old people who grew up in the 70's feel nostalgic and happy. I always have older people stop me on the street and ask, "Where did you get those?! I had those same pants when I was in college!" I am absolutely in love with them, they bring out the whimsical 70's flower child in me. Groovy, right?

Fur Sure

 Fur never goes out of style. It's timeless, beautiful, and can make any outfit look interesting. When the weather gets crisp, my fur vest is the first item in my closet that I reach for. Fur vests can get kind of pricey, but I think the price is always worth it. They are a staple piece, and they can go with anything in your closet. Fur is one of my winter weather favorites; I absolutely love this time of year. Getting to listen to Christmas music all day long, stuffing your face with cookies and fudge and telling yourself that calories don't count during the holidays, and the crisp coldness that sweeps across your face and makes your nose red. Some people hate this time of year, but I can't get enough of it. I will be clinging on to the cold weather and this fur vest for as long as I can. Happy holidays everyone!!
