On a Whim

Sunday is the day I truly get dress on a whim. So what better time to wear this amazing new(to me) denim jacket I found while thrifting last week. It’s got an edge and vaguely brings to mind the moto style of jacket that is so popular right now. I love it!

Wearing: thrifted skirt, tank, and Gap denim jacket, necklace my design,vintage sterling silver bracelet, and Aldo sandals.

As you can see the blog got a makeover. One of the reasons for the long pause in between posts was because I was in quandary with what to do with my blog. In the end I decided to resign it. The old theme was not cutting it, so I switched to this one and tweaked it a bit. I also needed a new logo so I decided to use Gimp as my software of choice and do it myself. It wasn’t super easy for me since graphic design is not my strength, but with the help of videos on Youtube and much trial and error I did it! I hope you all like the new design!

Keep on being creative folks, I have some more fun stuff on the horizon!

Love, Laura

Silk + Sequins

Twas a cold day in Florida but I traipsed about in silk, boyfriend shorts and a denim jacket because I figure if the those from northern climates think the weather down here isn’t that bad then I can certainly take the chill (it was in the high 60′s with a lot of gusty wind…). Anywho on a non-weather related note, I chopped my hair again and I LOVE it!!!! It’s so nice to have tiny tresses once again.

Have a lovely Monday!

Fringe Factor

I remember ever so vividly the moment I stumbled across this picture and instantly pinned it… But my point is, her fringe(bangs) is flawless. Hair like shoes, complete a look. Hair can add sweetness, sassy-ness, well any sort of feel one is going for. It is the accessory you always have and I love how it can shine like a star…

Viva la fringe =)

Cactus

It has without a doubt been the winter of the denim jacket I seriously can’t seem to get enough of them. My tiny collection of Levi’s denim jackets have been my outerwear staple they add a certain element of carefree-ness that is simply spectacular! On another note I’m in the process of growing out my hair a bit especially my bangs, which just happen to be in that awkward stage that I hope passes soon…

Shadows on the Street

I never share my inspiration enough so what better way to start the new year then to start sharing the things that inspire me and set my heart a soaring!

When I saw these shadows, I knew I had to capture them, they’re beautiful. When I design I’m very inspired by nature and geometry and I love how both of those elements are present here! What inspires you?

Up on the Roof

Nothing quite like some long awaited parking garage pics with the gentle zephyrs wafting from the nearby waterfront; I LOVE FL.

Finds: Leather Clutch

The new year has come and gone… Time has been flying too fast(anyone else think so too???). So what better way to start the new year than with a new bag. Here are my top three.

1. Add some shine with this bag from Eugenia Woods, a local design company run by 2 super cool sisters, Rachel and Rebekah. These sweet sisters are friends friends of mine who design cute bags, I want to collect them all!

2. A little bit of texture is perfect with this sweet leather clutch by Marketa New York. It seriously is the perfect little bag, I love it!

3. Add some bold pattern with this bold screen printed leather clutch by Leah Lerner. So bold and fabulous LOVE it!!!

Which one is your favorite?

Have a lovely day!!!

A Magical Place…

So last week I was at this very pretty park it’s very old Florida from the turn of the last century park(and vaguely reminiscent of California…), it’s magical! If fairy’s were real I would like to think they would live there… On another note, I have at long last gotten some pics of the dress that I got for my last birthday(which was in November) and I’m so glad I got to take some pics of it, It truly is a peach of a dress. It reminds me of the 60′s and of a tunics from India, it’s a dress I know I’ll wear a lot.

I hope you all have a fabulous day!!!!

Love, Laura

A New Year…

2012 has come to a close and I cannot believe how fast it’s gone, so many things have changed in my life, which made me realize that life doesn’t stop, life changes. But I’m looking forward to a new year and new goals(like blogging more, I miss doing it). I’m looking forward to what 2013 will bring and I can’t wait to share it with you all. I’ve learned a lot in 2012 and I can’t wait to learn even more in 2013. Also I want to thank all of you for sticking by me and and following and supporting my little spot on the web you guys encourage me and I appreciate it so much!

What I wore on NYE during the day…. Between finishing up the term at school, getting sick(I’m almost well) and having a family emergency(In which God is working in amazing ways), I have been MIA… But now I’m back!

Have a happy and blessed New Year!!!!

Love, Laura
