Wilde Bella Nirvana
Wilde Bella Nirvana
Will have a lot more in depth post along with details about these skirts and one of my new fave designers, The Wilde Bella from Australia. I have been excited for this line since I got a little peak back when she was releasing her Ohana skirts. I was honored to get to see this collection come together from the print, color choices, and then styles she came up with, she really is going to be a designer to watch out for...
My favorite Nirvana tee and I own many, this one is so colorful and that graphic is amazing.
Link to The Wilde Bella below and promise I am catching up now but will edit this post Thursday when driving to gibe you my details and opinion on these lovely skirts that if you have not gotten yet you must order at least one.
Off to bed long day tomorrow hope everyone is having a great week. Peace love and light always xoxo

Spell and the Gypsy collective Lion Heart drop 2....
Here I am wearing the Spell angel green tank in a large, as you can see it fits perfectly and has room, the top doesn't stretch and mess up graphics at all. Skirt is the sage mini skirt in a medium which I only sized up to wear lower on my hips to get added length because I don't like to wear skirts too short.
Necklace is from Walmart cost $3 on sale was a gift from my mom and regular price was marked $5. Colors match amazing with this collection with the sage/olive green, peach and light blush pink. Bracelet was a custom idea I had made by my girl Laura who owns Fawninginlove on Etsy. She always sees my visions and brings them to life.
Happy mid week and hope everyone enjoys their weekend, I am working on getting all my posts published live here since I have been behind and I am going away 5 days in the mountains and an extra day in our new hometown. Peace love and light y'all xoxo

Spell stole my heart with Lion Heart Collection
Spell and the Gypsy Collective Lion Heart
I'm so excited to share my new favorite skirt from Spell and the Gypsy Collective. For me to say that means it really is amazing because I own a lot of the skirts going back many years and out of all of my collections, styles, colors and from new to the older vintage Spell this skirt is in my top 3. May even be my all time favorite. This maxi skirt is from the newest Spell and the Gypsy Collective Lion Heart collection, the blush, peach and tan tones really are stunning with the brown tone patterns. Little floral print adds that feminine look but isn't an all over floral pattern.
I paired it with the matching Off the Shoulder blouse in sundown, I love the addition of the ribbon ties versus the normal tassel ties. Another feminine new feature that I adore so much. A little tip for all of you getting ready and don't have time to break out the iron or steamer, I saw on Spell's Insta story they used a flat iron to help flatten out the ribbon which will get bunched up and wrinkled after wearing. Be sure to set your flat iron on the lowest setting so you do not singe your ribbon please. I know my flat iron will go up to 450 degrees I lower mine to 180 and then I am sure to quickly run it over not pressing really hard and it works so good. My blouse is a size L, the waist is a little big but since it is adjustable with the ribbon tie it is easy to tie the right fit you want then make sure to go around and make sure to fit the pleating of it so you don't have some larger gatherings of fabric, sorry my OCD coming out lol.
Amazing how full this skirt is, isn't it? The layers of multiple fabrics sewn together are amazing, I love the combo of colors, prints, and the ruffles. This skirt really has that vintage old school prairie skirt mixed with the 1960-70 classic Indian cotton skirts but to the next level. Everyone has asked me about the length, I am 5'8 and the length when worn on my high waist lands around my ankle then lower waist it sits just above the floor. I have on some blush strappy ankle boots with a very small block heel but as you can tell there is no issue for. I had so much fun taking these photos and was so happy with how they turned out. Usually out of 20-25 pictures I may like 2-3 then a lot of times I don't like any but I am not posting photos to be a model or try to show of how I look, for me I am sharing photos of my clothes not me.
Accessories are a Turkish coin necklace in silver with matching bracelet I got several years ago on eBay. I had seen similar ones for sometime priced over $75 and all the way up to $180. Whenever I find something that is not a brand or designer made it I will search eBay, Amazon, Etsy, and other sites to see what I can find. When I am investing into Spell drops and other collections by similar brands I have to really take the small left over money from my clothing budget to accessorize. I don't really need new pieces I have a huge collection of authentic vintage jewelry I have been collecting, Etsy artisan handmade pieces, but there is always a piece I see that I can't get it of my mind. Sometimes I will see a piece on Pinterest and it is older so you can't find it online anywhere so I will contact one of my favorite Etsy sellers with photos or sometimes ideas I come up with, she always find the most lovely pieces to create the perfect piece that always is more then I even hoped for. This Turkish coin necklace is made very heavy duty and the quality is amazing, I paid around $6-8 for it and the matching bracelet was $3-4. I struggle to put the bracelet on when I am alone but I have an elastic one similar with bells from Forever 21 or Charlotte Russe that looks so much like this one and is much easier to put on when no one is home lol.
It is fall everywhere around the country but here in South Florida it is hot and humid. It was in the low 90's and so humid I was sweating so bad. I took my photos early before the sun got too hot and wow what a fun time taking photos. I know I mention this all the time but other then the amazing styles and patterns, quality and fit Spell and the gypsy collective always makes me feel so beautiful, confident and happy when I wear it. This combo is no exception it is stunning and the fabric feels so good on. I didn't wear any makeup this day and my hair was a little messy but I twisted some pieces on one side and used a few bobby pins to pin it back on one side. I really was amazed how good the photos turned out. These are taken with my iPhone and been working hard to make time to post better pictures then my old selfie style pics I was always posting. I really am working hard to step up mu blog for all of you. For reference my maxi is size Small. If you have nay other sizing questions or any comments feel free to email me or send me a DM on IG and you can always comment below. It makes my day when y'all leave comments for me.
I promise you if you have the chance to get one of these pieces, which today they had a restock in all sizes and styles. I grabbed the long sleeve sage blouse and I was really hoping to get the moroccan luxe blouse in dusty pink, I have the skirt and sand blouse from first half of the drop and I have to say I don't know why I didn't get it the day I ordered all of these items, it was on my wishlist and it was a piece I knew I already love but I was on a budget so I got this skirt in a S, the mini skirt in sage in a M, Off the shoulder blouse in a L and the green Spell angel tank in a L. I kind of stuck with my true sizes. I have to say when I saw some measurements surface on their Aussie site after I already had ordered I was anxious and worried but everything fits me so good. I can't wait for the sage blouse already have a few pieces other then my mini skirt I was to wear it with.
Everyone have an amazing weekend, we are heading to the mountains and I can't wait to relax for the weekend. Peace love and light always xoxo

These super cute Aster spike earrings came in one of my recent Rocksbox packages. Rocksbox has been killing it with their styles and designs recently even more then ever.

Recently they even changed it where now you can swap one item each month also. Love this box and I have tried so many subscription boxes, at one time I had like 10 and now have 2. Try it out whats there to lose?
These cute suede tie front slides by Bamboo shoes I got on IG for $14. I follow a shop called @smokinhotstudio and happened to see they posted a sale on some of their shoes as well as some other cute fashion pieces so I couldn't pass them up. Always looking for comfy slip on shoes for wearing to run errands or just on chilling days. You cannot beat the price.
Next up got these bags off eBay, they are handmade round shaped rattan wicker purses. These are very on trend right now and can cost from $55-125, this one is 20. Around and I won them both for $24 with free shipping. They have a lovely fabric lining and leather strap and closure. The smell is amazing also and love how no two are alike. Lots of room for small wallet and some other miscellaneous items.
My yellow buddha and the embroidered Indonesian pillows are all from Homegoods but the buddha I have had for close to 10 years and the cushions or pillows I got back in May for my bistro table out front.
Last up my mom grabbed this necklace for $3 on sale normally it is only $5 at Walmart. It isn't something I would have ever picked up for myself but the day she got it my new Spell and the Gypsy collective Lion Heart items arrived and it matches so good with the sage/olive green, peach and pink tones. Be sure to check out my IG for photos of my new Spell pieces which are some of my all time favorites as well as tomorrow I will be posting all those photos here live on my blog.
Have a wonderful night and sorry I have been creating my blog posts on my phone daily but then have not had time to come onto my laptop to edit, add links, and change size of photos before making my posts live to the public so that is why you are seeing 2-4 posts a day and then none for 2-4 days. I am working on getting more time to post daily or at the least every other day but right now I am a single parent basically and my girls both have the most craziest and hectic schedules with sports and after school clubs. I barely have time to think yet alone edit posts and take photos it really is not easy.
Hope everyone has a great mid week and I will be away for a few days in the mountains but will be sure to post a few scenic photos. I may take a break for the weekend but I will be sure to take a lot of photos I can post when we get back, looking forward to some quality time together all four of us. Peace, love and light always, Melissa xoxo

💕 Stuck on You 🌵
Mate the Label, Stuck on You graphic tank. Love Mate the Label graphic tops because they always have fun graphics, high quality tees and tanks, and all their products are made in the USA. This California based label is always worth the extra money to know your getting a high quality product and of course the designs are always unique.
I paired my Mate tank with this lovely Mahiya Leather, Anita skirt. I had been wanting this skirt for a couple of months before I took the plunge. I had never purchased from this designer before and was not sure of the quality or sizing. My skirt is a S/M with elastic waist and button down front with tassel tie waist. It has the high low, or as many Spell lovers refer to them as castaway style skirts. The bottom ruffle adds that extra flowy feeling to the skirt for a perfect bohemian luxe feel and vibe. The pastel colors are very nice together and the fabric is super soft. All around Mahiya leather has been a great label to purchase from, I own a few of their skirts now and just saw their Aussie summer collection previews that look amazing. If you love leather goods too then for sure check their shop out they have some amazing wallets, clutches and leather goods with a nice mix of dresses, skirts and tops.
It is still super hot here in Florida so while I am watching some of my favorite bloggers starting to post their fall layers, sweaters, boots and fall styles I have to get a little sad because I love layering but sadly here the weather just isn't really great for layering. We may get an occasional cool front that moves through usually lifting our humidity level from making it mid to upper 90's with high humidity making it horrible hair weather, sticky and even warmer feeling to the humidity drop makes it feel semi cooler. We get really lucky and sometimes a strong cool front comes down and really cools us down to maybe the 60-70's but nothing much colder really, if we get into the upper 50's its in the late over night to early morning hours.

Love to stitches
QuiQui Clothing Maverick Skirt & Love Stitch Clothing Camisole
It's Wednesday and you know what that means!? Almost made it to the weekend. I always love mid week cause I am a night owl by nature and mornings aren't my fave since I'm up late no matter how many times I try to go to bed early. Plus who doesn't love Friday and the weekend!? Come on now lol.
In celebration of the mid week I decided today I would share two of my current faves in my closet. For some time now I have been in love with Qui Qui Clothing. I like to call this boutique one of my hidden gems. The clothing is stellar, the pricing is just crazy affordable, all the styles are the cutest pieces and the quality is right up there with higher end brands that carry similar styles. I was honored when the owner had reached out to me to send me a skirt to try cause I had been eyeing her collection for a couple of months prior to that but couldn't find where to order them. Then I came across another of my fave online gems The Wilde Bella and saw she was stocking the Qui Qui skirts then discovered they are actually mother and daughter.
Ever since I got that first skirt I am always checking in on the latest new designs. She is always releasing new styles, colors and patterns. I honestly would own them all and do own a lot of them but I try to keep myself on a budget which isn't easy with so many beautiful designs and styles. I own this skirt, the Maverick in both this blue and pink shade and the black. The cut is a high low castaway style skirt with the shorter front and beautiful ruffle trim bottom. I think these style skirts are flattering on all body types and love that I can wear them paired with my huge collection of graphics or with lovely blouses like I have on here.
My camisole is the Love Stitch clothing and I have to admit I buy most of my pieces by them off of eBay new but discounted or discontinued. Again I am a bargain shopper it may not always seem that way when you follow my blog or Instagram but I'm a mom of two girls one is a senior and almost 18 who has an addiction to makeup and fashion; then my youngest turned 10 in September she is also a mini diva fashionista, who loves clothing and makeup too. She isn't allowed to wear makeup out yet or to school but she wants to be just like her big sis so she is always playing with makeup and on special occasions I do allow her to wear some for fun. She is actually very good at applying thanks to her super talented sister.
This camisole has adjustable straps, lace details on the front and back, light weight soft fabric and love the tassel tie neckline. I had been looking at several styles similar to this by other brands but this one I got for under $50 on eBay and so happy I went with it cause it's amazing for tucking in, belting, tying and wearing out. It has a slightly longer back and small slit on the sides which is great for tying. Every woman needs a few amazing solid white blouses and camis for styling with their boho and vintage pieces. It's like a little black dress or graphic tees, you can never have too many.
My necklace and bracelet are a matching set from one of my fave online vintage jewelers. I got this set where I have gotten 90% of my vintage styles and same shop where I found my vintage Tharu necklace back last winter. My tassel bracelet is Lacey Ryan and love these fun colorful tassel bangles. They look really cute worn alone, mixed in with other styles or stacked with same bangles in multiple colors. I also have a new thumb ring for my left hand, for years I have been wearing my grandfather's wedding band on my right hand but recently got this amazing ring from Rocksbox that was a keeper as soon as I tried it on. Finding a good thumb ring isn't always easy because the thumb is a hard one for a good fit, it can't be thick, has to be slightly rounded on the inside for sliding on and off with ease and just the right size to slip over the knuckle but not be too loose on the finger after you get it over the knuckle. A size 7 works amazing for me and then finding the shape is the hardest part but this one slid right on and it's got the most beautiful sparkly cz's and opals. Will take a closeup pic soon so you can see the amazing details.
Off to dinner with my family, my hubby is in town surprised my girls last night and is here till tomorrow am. Trying to enjoy the little time we have together but not as sad this week for him to leave because next week we leave on Wednesday to head up to his place then leave Thursday am for NC. Hoping to see a glimpse of some fall leaves 🍁🍂 and can't wait to do hayrides, corn mazes and fall festivities somewhere that it actually feels like it's fall. Everyone have a great end to your week and keep an eye out for my new Spell, shipped out yesterday and should arrive by the weekend. Can't wait to share with everyone, also hoping a few items are restocked. Peace, love and light always, xoxo Melissa

Blue Monday
Feathers, Flowers and lots of Blue....
Happy Monday, last week I was sick most of the week with an awful cold that had me feeling just blah. Was so happy to start this week feeling better and we also had horrible weather last week, it rained pretty much every day but woke up Monday morning to sunshine. The sun always makes you feel good especially when you have had lots of rain for what felt like weeks.
Today I decided to wear my custom made jacket by my friend Melissa from Australia. You can follow her on Instagram at my_hippy_heart. I have this lovely jacket I actually won last year that she had embellished so amazing. The colors go with my fave hair colors and of course fave colors to wear perfecto. It also has a Hamsa hand or also know as the hand of Fatima patch in the back, evil eye on the front with lovely Turquoise charm. I have not gotten to wear this since winter and with the Florida fall/winter we don't get much jacket or sweater weather but I was pulling out my sweaters, jackets and layers for next week when we go to NC so I pulled this beauty out and had to wear it.
I styled my denim jacket with the Spell & the Gypsy Flower Child Sayulita birthstone mini skirt. This skirt is amazing and one of my faves, it has pockets which if you follow me regularly you know that pockets are my all time fave especially on my skirts. Love the lace trim on the pockets and the cut of this skirt is different then more recent cup cake style Spell skirts, this one has a more flat front, then lovely ruffle trim.
While looking for the perfect top, I have the matching blouse for this skirt but its long sleeve and wanted to wear my jacket so was on the hunt in my huge graphic top collection for something that would match nicely without being to matchy matchy. I have a large section of vintage 1970-80's band and Harley Davidson tops, this lace trim white Harley tank is from the 1980's and the colors seemed to look nice especially when I pulled out some Turquoise jewelry. I love the feather graphic with the traditional Harley Davidson logo, and I am so obsessed with their older lace trim style tanks. If you are looking for some of these I have found the best places online would be Etsy then eBay. Make sure to always check the photos for stains, holes and defects. Then remember that sizing on vintage pieces is much smaller. I order newer style Harley tanks and usually do a M or L depending on the cut but vintage I'm a L or XL.
Accessories are my thunderbird Turquoise necklace I found on eBay, funny story the seller didn't have the necklace listed it was actually on the mannequin she was displaying tops and dresses on but it kept catching my eye. I have always wanted one of the Spell Turquoise necklaces but have yet to get one of the newer styles. I have lots of their older pieces because when I first came across Spell they were a jewelry and accessory brand, they started adding clothing down the road. At first I didn't order any of the clothing because I was unsure of sizing and being they were out of the country I was hesitant but when I broke down and ordered one of their skirts I fell in love. I had purchased a tee or I believe it was a tank first but then in one order went with a skirt, kimono and tee. I instantly fell in love and use to wait for their sales to place my orders. lol imagine now most items sell out so fast they don't make it to the sale section, but back then it was a totally different game.
Bracelet is from Three Wolves Trading Co, another IG boutique with an amazing owner and the best vintage silver pieces ever. I started a collection of thunderbird pieces since I own so many cattle skulls, antlers and feathers now, then even my collection of vintage tribal pieces has gotten so large I have stopped ordering new styles and working on mixing and matching the styles I already own.
Any questions on sizing or where to buy shoot me a DM or email, or you can always comment below. I always get back to everyone unless my email doesn't notify me or there is some glitch. It has happened but only a few times. Here I have a L in the Flower Child skirt, I always size up on mini or less full skirts for extra material and length. Harley tank is a vintage L, jacket is a XL I believe.
Cheers to the week and feeling great. Excited for the Spell drop tomorrow and can't wait to share my new pieces this week. Have lots of stuff I have been wanting to wear but with rain all last week it was hard to get clear photos. Also I desperately need to update or get a new iPhone. My camera is taking foggy grainy pics and don't have memory to upload the latest update or operating system. I have patiently been waiting for the release of the iPhone X but starting to get desperate and considering the iPhone 8. Hope y'all have an amazing kick off to October and the week. Peace, love and light always. Xoxo Melissa

Style Secret: How to keep Off the Shoulder tops and dresses in place
Stylist Secret
How to keep Off the Shoulder Blouses and Dresses in place...
For sometime now off the shoulder tops have been in style and the hottest spring and summer trends. Even breaking out of those seasons and into the fall/winter months with off shoulder sweaters or long sleeve tops. Back 2 summers ago I got huge into off the shoulder tops and dresses but had an issue with the elastic always rolling up or ending up with an on the shoulder look. Not what I wanted and would annoy me so badly I ended up not wearing a lot of these cute new stylish pieces I had invested in. After finally being in the brink of listing all my off the shoulder pieces, no matter how much I loved the style and thought they were cute, on eBay I decided to turn to google to see what other ladies were trying or doing to keep their tops off the shoulder.
I came across a few Pinterest links to other bloggers pages that had recommendations for adding an elastic from the craft department and sewing into the top, then found some who used fashion tape, but I didn't want to alter my tops permanently or damage them. Especially since I tend to resell some of my items down the road if they are a piece I'm not wearing often. I also invest in a lot of higher end brands with very delicate fabrics and didn't want to ruin any of them. I wanted an idea to use household items I already had that would be a quick temporary fix. I finally was thinking about it and decided to try using rubber bands and a small safety pin. It worked much to my surprise but the rubber from the bands irritated my skin.
After thinking about it once again I decided to try my daughter's hair ties. One wasn't long enough and at the time didn't think to interlock two together but I did however remember seeing the children's headbands made of the same material they use to make the clasp free hair ties. I ran to the Dollar store and grabbed some for babies and small children, they worked amazing. With two dollar store headbands and 4 small safety pins I had finally solved my off the shoulder tops rolling up on me dilemma.
Just recently one of my favorite designers along with some more recent new brands I have been wearing came out with similar off the shoulder looks and while some tops have a thicker band then the addition of sleeves also helps sometimes I was still running into this issue. While trying to get ready for date night one night in spring I needed to quick fix one of my off the shoulder dresses so I took two of my daughter's hair bands, I buy all colors from Walmart and the dollar store, I love the ones in multiple shades of tan cause they match blonde hair so you don't the band. I found two tan color bands for each side, four all together then simply interlocked the two bands together by simply sliding one onto the other, using the same tiny size safety pins I found the seam in the top of the dress where the material meets and being careful not to puncture all the way through to the front of the fabric, I pinned the small safety on each side. You want to make sure you do this in the seam where the material is reinforced and thicker, also want to make sure to not go all the way through to the front so you don't see the pin. When matching your hair bands with the fabric or going with nude, white or black they are less likely to be seen, but as you can see I was in a rush when my last Spell order arrived to wear my new off the shoulder rose water blouse from their Lion Heart collection so I used black, you can not generally see these cause when you put the blouse or dress on you slip your arms inside the band so the hair tie goes under your arm like a strap but instead of over the shoulder you go under the armpit.
This works so good, you can lift your arms, dance, carry your children, take a selfie, basically anything you want and the top will no longer slip up off your shoulders or roll. It is the most amazing tip I have ever seen or heard of so I had to share with all of you. Again for one garment can be a blouse or dress any off the shoulder style tops, you will need 4 safety pins one for each side of each arm, then depending on what you want to use for your band you can either use 4 hair ties in coordinating or nude color, 2 longer headband style bands, or you can even purchase elastic at the fabric store and simply clip that into place also.
What are you waiting for I'm sure just like me you have purchased at least a couple of these cute styles or have been considering it. Go grab some hair ties and safety pins so you can finally rock those stylish, trendy off the shoulder looks with no more hassle or headache.
Hope this helps everyone with the dilemma of off the shoulder tops rolling off or up, now you can wear those styles that you have sitting in your closet or dreamed of wearing. I thought this was a trend that would maybe last a spring and summer for a year maybe two but we are going into 3-4 years of them being pretty hot. Spell has a lot of new styles that have recently been released or coming out, and Target, Express, you name it all the stores from low to high, designer to small online shops are designing and stocking these cute pieces. Even the winter and fall looks are off the shoulder. I have a cute orange off the shoulder sweater I got a couple of years ago for thanksgiving and just bought another off the shoulder sweater and 2 sweatshirts. Those seem to be easier to wear cause the fabric of the long sleeves on a sweater or sweatshirt are heavier but I got a long sleeve white and chambray striped top at Kohl's back in Dec/Jan that needed the adjustment to make it just right.
Happy altering and showing off your shoulders. Hope my photos are helpful and if you have any questions please feel to email me or comment below. Peace love and light always. Melissa xoxo

Spell and the Gypsy Drop 2 of LionHeart tomorrow night please read...
Spell & the Gypsy Collective
Lion Heart collection
Tonight is the Spell live runway preview of the pieces from the second drop of their latest and hottest collection Lio Heart. After the live runway show on their IG @spell.byronbay and FB page I will be hosting my own Question and Answer platform for everyone. As many of you may have noticed I have my own custom link I share here in banners and posts, then in my social media pages as well. In appreciation to all the out pouring of support I get from my fellow Spell sisters I wanted to giveback so last drop I made sure to do some leg work to find out sizing details, pricing and whatever else I was able to find out about each item, so I can make the shopping experience easier for everyone.
Just get together your wish list and either email me, DM me on IG @Cr8tivewanderlust or on my FB page you can send me a message also. I will be spending later this evening sending the measurements for the sizes you inquire about, pricing info and whatever else I am able to find out so that way when you go to place your order tomorrow night you can know what fits into your budget and also what sizes you want so you don't have to take time looking up each item or trying to figure out how many Cm's and inches lol.
I know myself for years would have loved to been that prepared for each drop and maybe would have been able to get more items or plan out my budget better before hot items sold out. This drop I am so in love with the peach and blush tones along with the sage that I am having a hard time deciding. My budget is much smaller and I already know the maxi skirt I love is $199 USD and $249 or $269 AUD. Sorry it is very early and I am not a morning person.
Head over to the Spell and the Gypsy website now using my link to check out more from the photo shoot and these lovely photos I grabbed off their blog. They took these in Morocco and OMG they are so perfect for the collection. I have been so inspired by this collection cause I love Moroccan design and style. As an interior and architectural designer Morocco has always been a huge inspiration in my own personal design style.
For those who may not be aware I decided to start sharing the Spell links after being diagnosed in 2014 with MS and Sjogren's syndrome after realizing I would be missing out on many of their collections and styles. Spell has been so amazing to me and I want to always give back to everyone from the designers, customer service and of course all my Spell sisters out there.
Just click my link here: https://t.cfjump.com/30821/t/25515?Url=http%3A%2F%2Fshop.spelldesigns.com%2F&SourceType=250&SourceValue=5939 or anywhere in my banners on my blog in side bar, on my social media pages, etc. You can also copy and paste my link to share on FB or add to your own IG profile for the day, I would be so super thankful and grateful. You have no idea how much all of you and your support means to me.
What are your fave pieces and what's on your must have or wish list? Please feel free to comment below as well as add any questions you may have. The best way to reach my is going to be via IG direct messages, I will be setting up a live group for those who need help with sizing and pricing, all I ask in return is you use my link when placing your order and share it with others.
Loving these amazing patterns and colors they are to die for.
I can't wait to see all my lovely Spell sisters rocking their new designs later this week and just think by this coming weekend we should all be dressing in new Spell and the Gypsy Lion Heart collection.
Peace Love and light to you all, hope you had an amazing weekend and have an awesome week. Looking forward to chatting with you all later after the live Spell IG and FB preview of the collection.
Update for sizing: after watching the live preview and runway show the ladies all mentioned most items ran true to size except for the Cassidy dress which was running a little larger. I did a little investigating and couldn't seem to find much information on the actual sizes that made me think they ran larger or smaller so I know I will be sticking to my normal sizes on these new styles. One of the sizing notes I saw for the maxi skirt seemed like it was way off cause I went with a S Moroccan Luxe skirt and M in midi only to have a fuller skirt, the waist seemed much smaller to me but thinking maybe since there is so much material and they have gathered it a lot for the really pretty flowing pleated look maybe the elastic is a bit wider and makes it smaller unstretched compared to the other styles. It also has a much wider tie waist more ribbon like then the normal thin tassel. Several people I know who have gotten to try on these lovely new styles told me they tried on XS-M and didn't see a huge difference in waist mostly length so I'm thinking if you are normally a S-M S will work remember these skirts are a lot of material and heavier then normal too. The blouse I'm going with a L like I did with Elyse and the last Zahara, it has the tie waist and I'm larger busted for smaller busted gals the S would be perfect. The green long sleeve blouse has the stretchy material across the bust I had a few ladies tell me they sized up, mostly taller girls cause they said that made the top feel slightly smaller but these were taller ladies where my shorter ladies told me they went true to size. The rompers taller girls are sizing up from their normal size for length in the body especially on the solid green one which seems to be very small through the torso and body area. Cassidy top order true to size for your bust and shoulder it is meant to be larger through the waist, shorts are true to size and the dress runs slightly large have been told some ladies went down a size. I hope this helps and if you have specific questions let me know I will do my best to answer. Oh also before I forget the spell angel tank in green, I know I was trying to decide between a L or XL after seeing the live runway and comparing sizing it is meant to fit tighter and more fitted not like a tee or their normal tanks. I would go with a L and I'm very large busted mostly cause I noticed on the model that the under arm seemed rather large and longer. For smaller girls with smaller bust I would order true to size or size down for more fitted look and up for your bralette to show under arms, I know some ladies like this Peek a boo look. The Spell ladies have done another amazing job creating a gorgeous line and can't wait for my items to arrive and share here with all of you. Hoping I make the proper sizing choices. Make sure to be ready to go tonight and order those maxis and the green romper quickly those will sell out really fast. Same with the sage green skirt and blouse set. Good luck to all and happy shopping xoxo.
