Outfit Diary: Wear What Your Mama Gave Ya

Like many girls, one of my style icons is my Mama. In the 70's my mom was in her mid 20's, and no doubt was she was donning the classic high waist bell bottom pants, chunky platform heels and large, blush sunglasses. I love flipping through her photos and asking her where all those clothes are so I can steal them!

This shirt was one in particular that I snagged from her closet, and with the light blue and mustard yellow roses - couldn't resist.

I've gotta get as much floral wear in as possible before Fall starts! :)

Flower Power

An early Saturday morning a couple weekends ago, I had the pleasure of spending time with my dear friend Linda, at the Downtown Los Angeles Flower Market. Linda is truly talented in the art of flower arranging and definitely has a passion for botany (she can actually identify trees and plants by their scientific names - what?!). We spent the morning picking out flowers for a baby shower Linda threw that weekend. The colors, variety, and grandiose amount of flowers was such a treat, I knew I wanted to share it with you!

Hope you had a lovely weekend!

Peace, love and flowers,

DIY Inspiration: Scallop Denim Shorts

Who isn't love with denim shorts? Especially with Summer right around the SoCal corner, I know I could live in a pair everyday. The best part about it is that denim shorts aren't always born denim shorts, in past lives, they could've been a pair of your favorite ripped jeans, or jeans that your mom spontaneously decided to hem too short. Or best yet - they could previously have been some hot man's levi's at the thrift shop. Whatever they started as, they're comfy as hell and can be styled so many different ways.

In my case, I've got some jeans that I've gracefully ripped in the thigh area - you know, for fun and because these thunder thighs don't lie. I've been thinking about how I want to restyle the jeans and bam. I found my next DIY project.

Scalloped Denim Shorts! 

Mink Pink $80 | Nasty Gal $48

I love these shorts from Mink Pink and though I'd love to purchase them - I can make them for free, and so can you! Have any denim shorts you want to revamp, or jeans you want to transform?

Look out for my future DIY! :)

Toodles,
