Statement Piece: Palazzo Pants

I had fun showcasing my thrifted palazzo pants for this look! I'm all about great pants and find myself more and more these days on the lookout for pants that are loungey/printed/high waisted/fun! I paired these pants with neutral autumnal tones to bring it into fall and played with a few different accessories for varying impact. Oh- be sure to check out how awesome the back is in the last photo! You literally step into these and then tie them up at your waist- its the coolest thing!

The Details:
Palazzo pants- thrifted
Top- thrifted (Michael Kors)
Scarf- my grandmothers
Genuine leather bag- thrifted steal for $2.49! (Rockport)
Earrings- in the family
Hat- thrifted
Wedges- c/o Belk

Recent Work: Modern Flapper

Here's a look I styled for Beaute Social with Dollface by Jules and Dylan Wilson Photography. We had so much fun doing a modern update on a 1920s flapper look and our model Lucia totally worked it!  P.S.- The feather toque hat was an estate sale find for a steal!  :)

Found Objects: Bulova Watch Box

I promised myself not to buy nic-nacs but I don't think it counts if it is both beautiful and functional, right? Here's a gorgeous vintage 1950s Bulova watch case I got for a steal at Wright Square Antiques. I adore the faded coloring and now its displayed in my bathroom where it houses my hair pins!

Black and Blue

The Details:
Bathing suit- thrifted
Asian caftan jacket- thrifted
Gold belt- hand me down
Hat- thrifted
Platform heels- old purchase from JCPenney of all places!  Can you believe I used to wear these to work ALL DAY?!!!

DIY Jeweled Sandals

Earlier this summer I was dying for jeweled sandals- something that would instantly dress up basics (I don't wear flip flops ever!) However- when I looked around the prices were just ridiculous for jeweled sandals- like $60-$80 for nice ones that didn't look horribly cheap. So I was off to gather some supplies for my own attempt...

Supply List:

• Flat sandals (or any shoe for that matter). A nude color is best but otherwise a color that will coordinate with the colors you plan to do your gems in. Also don't choose ones with straps that are too thick (the gem won't cover enough space) or too thin (the gem will not be secure enough). Cost: $3 @ thrift store
• Bag of gems (variety pack comes in a clear plastic bag) from Michaels.  These can be more expensive so check for on sale or grab a coupon online. The bag comes with tons of colors/sizes/shapes so you will have a million left over for more DIYs.  Cost: $9
• Flip flop glue from Michaels. You could probably also use another adhesive but I wasn't sure.   I had doubts the gems would really adhere well but this worked incredibly well! Cost: $3

Directions:

1. Lay out the gems you want to use and try your best to place on shoe to map out the placement.
2. Glue on, wait to dry and your done!

Total Project Cost: $15 (but with tons of gems left over to inspire oodles of other projects :)

Last Days of Summer

It's now September but it still feels like summer here in Savannah! Here's a fun easy breezy look featuring a thrifted Ralph Lauren 100% silk skirt (color of the day so was only $1.99!).  I love the high-low hemline and sarong style of it- plus I've been loving tangerine colors all summer and just couldn't resist this beauty!

The Details:
Lingerie top- thrifted
Ralph Lauren silk skirt- thrifted
Slingbacks- thrifted
Vintage clip-ons- in the family
Train case- Estee Lauder (stolen from my mom)
