GBA: It's Festival Season

House of Harlow Romper / Boots / Madewell Hat / Vintage Necklaces, Bracelets, and Rings / Gorjana Lariat / Madewell Arrow Necklace / Outlette Rings

In lieu of Coachella Weekend #2, I found it only fitting to post my festival inspired look. You can take your look so many ways when headed into a musical weekend. There's cutoffs, croptops, swimsuits, body chains, and everything in between. I decided to highlight though one of my hero pieces and favorites for summer: the romper. Easy and breezy and this one has a perfect shape! Added my new western-inspired straw hat, loaded on the jewelry, and finished it with a classic black boot. Now you may be wondering, "What is GBA?" With notes of "Americana" in the shots, I only found it fitting to include my favorite phrase in the title: God Bless America. Anyone who knows me, knows I'm a bit sarcastic and so this is my "oh my god" or "holy crap" subsitute. haha! Click the links above to shop my look and god bless America, it's festival season!

Those 70s Vibes

[gallery type="rectangular" ids="300,301,302,303,304,305,306,307,308,309,310"] Vintage Sweater (similar)/ UO Bralette (similar)/ Lux Denim (similar)/ Vintage Leather Belt / See by Chloe Boots / Timex Watch / Vintage Bracelets and Rings

It’s almost Coachella season, and I’m ready to dress the part. Give me maxi dresses, wide leg jeans, and anything white crochet. The trick with this era trend is to not to end up looking like you’ve actually been at the music festival for a week… I always take inspiration from 70s fashion fanatic, Rachel Zoe, and I was also obsessed with this season’s Chloe campaign with gorgeous long blue dresses and round sunnies to boot.

I tend to gravitate to all things oversized which can sometimes be hard to pull off. I try to find one element that brings it all in. With a slight tuck in the front and a leather belt to cinch the waist, I was able to create some shape. My big belt buckle and beige boots lend a note to Western, but let’s not get ahead of ourselves here. There’s an epic, vintage, western item making its way to the blog soon :)

This sweater is another vintage piece out of my mother's closet. Purchased in 1978, she fashioned it with white stirrup pants. While I don't foresee breaking out stirrups anytime soon, I can see it with a similar slim white jean or come summertime, over a slip dress. Vintage or not, open-knit sweaters are a key piece that you'll want to invest in so that maybe in 35 years it will still be hanging in your closet, too.
