Finding Your Neverland...


So come with me, where dreams are born, and time is never planned. Just think of happy things, and your heart will fly on wings, forever, in Never Never Land!
-Peter Pan



What's your magic.. What makes you soar above the clouds and drift between being asleep 
and awake...the place where you remember your dreams... What makes your heart dance 'round flower gardens and sing the songs of sirens... Is it art of the ages or lyrics of now...
Find it all and let your creative genius free
xoxo

Feather Me Forever...


The pretty plumes of our winged friends add etherial vibes to our attire...
Feathers are romantic, mystical, free,
fluid, soft, radiant,
colorful, sexy and playful...

They are a major fashion do!

Ode to Keith Richards and All the Rocker Greats ....

Dressing like one of our Rock Gods of the past is always a major look for all hallows eve...
Keith, Mr Tyler, Morrison, Hendrix and more really killed it when it came to putting together the freshest threads!!!!

Everyone talks about rock these days; the problem is they forget about the roll.

Costume Coordination...

I love a good themed Halloween group ...
Getting friends to go in on themes really gives your costume a high voltage effect!!!
So think about classic groups that everyone would love to be ....
Cowboys and Indians ...
Indians and Bears...
Back Street Boys...
Barbies...
Woodland creatures (My personal fave)...
Characters from your favorite movies like Clueless, Almost Famous, Peter Pan (what we are doin) and more...

Get Your Beauty Rest


Beat your case of the Mondays before they even begin...
Its Sunday night and we all know there is nothing less fashionable than heavy under eye bags and a bad attitude...
Take a soothing bath with calming salts or powders...
A great one to use is Burt's Bee's Bath Milk...It will definitely calm pre-work-week nerves!
After use soothing lotions to make sure your skin has a full night of rejuvenation!!!
When you wake up in the morning remember this week will bring you tremendous success...
and at the end of it all will be one of the best Holidays ever!!!!!!!!!!!
Halloween!!!

One of the Boyz

Im a strong believer in wearing a dress pretty much everywhere...
But there are times when putting on a pair of kicks can make things a bit more fun!
Keep you casual look slim and sexy... grab a loose fit T so it drapes perfectly, a slim armed cropped leather jacket, stay flirty with some serious cut offs... and of course a little tough with a fun pair of chucks!!!
The boys will swoon that you keeping it down to earth and that you look ready to learn a skateboard trick or two...
XOXO

Street Style Perfection

Being inspired by fellow fashion lovers is an awesome way to learn to navigate through your closet and create the best look for each day...

Ombre Tulle and Incandescent Dreams

Dripping with glitter...
Covered in petals...
Armored in silver, bronze and rose gold metals...
Draped in fine silks spun round like a cacoon...
Layers of feather, fur and vines make me swoon...



XOXO

Bright Eyes

Let your big beautiful eyes shine...
Add a great golden shade to your lids.

In Japan, yellow represents courage...
Have the courage to explore new looks and jump start your style adventure...

Take a Sunshine Stroll

BE INSPIRED!!!
Get outside...
and I don't mean in your car... either take a walk or jump on your oh-so-cute-beach cruiser.
Take in all the beautiful colors of fall... let them inspire your wardrobe...
Just like chameleons we like to fit into our environment... it brings comfort to mix well...
Take the honey glow of the sunshine, the dusty reds and oranges of the leaves, the pale greens of fading gardens, the warm chestnut hues and make them staple colors for your fall wardrobe.
If you notice colors in nature or other environments working well and flowing be certain that they will do the same in your beautiful clothing ensemble.
XOXO

Hairs A Flutter

DIY
Take flight with this whimsical look for your next event...
Go to Michaels Arts and Crafts and pick up faux butterflies, flowers, feathers etc...
Grab a hot glue gun, some glue and your favorite clips at CVS and within moments you can create multiplicities of Fairy-esq hair pieces...
Let the hot glue gun heat up and then put a tiny bit of hot glue at the end of your clip and place your beautiful object on top... flip the clip and let it settle object side down so the glue can set....
XOXO
CHIFFON BUDDHA


Beauty and the Braid

We all get stuck in a hair rut every once in a while...
We do the same blow dry, curl, straight iron etc....
Just like our clothing our hair should make us feel creative, inspired or just simply beyond pretty...
Feel ultra feminine with a full gathered side braid...
Keep the look tostled and loose and tie the ends with a faux flower, pretty feather or something that sparkles!!
XOXO

The Sparkle of My Eye...Christian Louboutin duhhhhh

If Mr. Christian doesnt bring pure joy and inspiration to your life ... well i don't know what will...
These stiletto masterpieces are comparable to works of the greats like Michelangelo...
They have not only been created for those that can afford but they also serve the greater purpose to inspire those who have an unchangeable everlasting love for the art of fashion.

Right now the world is in need of a shining light...
