Blooming Blossoms

Sweater- Vinted (similar) | Skirt (in blue) | Heels (more sizes) | Clutch | Sunnies

Just seeing the Cherry Blossoms bloom all over Atlanta warms my soul. Spring is my favorite season of the year and I love the beauty it brings with it for the short 3 1/2 months we get to enjoy it. I still find myself picking flowers off of bushes and trees as if I was roaming in my grandma's garden at the age of seven. Can I be that age again? The only responsibilities you had was to protect your 94 count Crayola crayon box from getting stolen. I don't want to Adult anymore. ;(

So as of lately, anything covered in stripes is trending for Spring, and I'm down and a half with it! I have so many striped items in my closet and many more coming in the mail.....I can't be stopped, guys! If I can find a striped clutch, my life would be complete. I already found a hologram clutch, so now I can scratch that off my list. Contrary to belief, ordering items from Asia is probably the best thing ever! They have so many style for less!! You just have to be patient. It is coming to you from the other side of the globe after all. This clutch feels like it was made with sturdy, high quality faux leather and the chain that comes with it isn't heavy. If I had a tablet, it would definitely fit inside. Overall, I'm extremely happy with my purchase. If anything happens to it, I will be sure to give you all an update asap. ;)

Micro Florals

Hello beautiful people! Happy Spring Equinox! It is I, A Fabulous Hippie, and today I wanted to show you how I styled my '80s vintage midi skirt. I bought this skirt back in Nashville at my favorite authentic vintage store, the Hip Zipper. I mean, just the name alone is enough to make you want to shop there. On top of that, they do the most thorough research on the items potential sellers bring to verify that the item is in fact, vintage from whatever decade. What sold me was not just the midi length, but the micro floral print! It just screams 'SPRING!' Instead of a solid color top, I paired one of my favorite graphic tees with this outfit. Lips, Hips and Curves. ;)

I am a strong believer that every woman should have a midi skirt and dress in their closet. Start with a solid black skirt or dress (fitted, flared or shift) and wear it a few times. You can style anything black an infinite amount of ways so this will help you get a better feel on whether you're a midi length person or not. But trust me...once you put it on, you might not take it off....or you might wear it a few hundred times.

For spring, I'm definitely going to be reaching for my Tory Burch Robinson Mini Satchel and my new retro pink sunnies! I love them together as an accessory combination. I just wish I could fit my 6S Plus inside Baby Tory. :/ I just had to pick the gigantic tablet phone, huh? It's so convenient since my vision blurs without warning when reading small writing (this granny needs readers) and I honestly don't feel that I need an iPad or any tablet for reading blogs and doing whatever else I like to do on the go (says the person who is still thinking about buying one). I am NOT that blogger who carries her laptop everywhere she goes. #Nope

Even if I had a tote bag, I would still leave my computer at home. I have the Blogger app so there's no real need for it. To the bloggers who carry ALL of their blogging artillery, rock on. I'm just going to bring my camera.

Stay tuned for more outfit posts! Oh, you have no idea how excited I am that I finally have a new camera! Taking my own pictures is soooo much easier because not only do I NOT have to pay a photographer per hour per shoot, but I can take the pictures how I want it. Now that doesn't mean I would never hire a photographer. Just only when I feel that it's necessary, like for special shoots and collaborations.

Thanks for reading!

2016

Pantone 2016: Rose Quartz + Serenity

Happy New Year, lovebugs! I gotta tell ya, the past couple of months have been wild and I'm just glad to be back to blogging once again!

If you don't already know (or if you can't tell from the title) Pantone has chosen not one....but two beautiful hues for 2016: Rose Quartz and Serenity! It's no secret that Rose Quartz will be worn to death by everyone in the world because....I mean who doesn't love a soft, blue toned pink?! Not to mention last year's trending color, Marsala, had everyone going nuts over rosy pinks and Mauves.
Although Serenity is my favorite out of the two (Cause I'm a sucker for Periwinkle/Lilac shades.) I will definitely be wearing a lot of Rose Quartz pieces this year. And hologram. Lots and lots of hologram and iridescent pieces. In my opinion, I feel that more silver, blue and pink based holorgram accessories and clothing will be trending right along with these magical colors. And if you've been a long time reader of the blog, you already know that hologram EVERYTHING is A-ok with me.

So tell me...what's your favorite Pantone color this year? How did you spend your New Year's? See ya soon!
