My OOTD posts for Oct 10-17

Florida State University Gear

Love my FSU headband I got at the campus store when we visited Tallahassee in the summer time.

I have been a Florida State college football fan since I was a little girl so I have tons of tees, tanks, long sleeve shirts, sweat pants, yoga pants and apparel.  This tank I ordered right after they won the title not last year but the year before.  I was so excited I ordered a ton of new gear.

Girl Strong tee from Shabby Apple.  My feather rhinestone charm my hubby found on eBay.  The ripped denim shorts are from Fashion Junkee.  Links below.

Shabby Apple

Not sure the tee is still available couldn't find it on the site but did see some other cute similar tees.

Distressed Boyfriend Jeans $37 Fashion Junkee

My Pink Agate slice necklace is from Adam Rabbit Jewelry you can find the link to her shop in my side bar under favorite shops and prior posts with other pieces I own from the AR collection.

Loki bracelets are from: Lokai

The pink is limited edition for October for breast cancer awareness month and $1 of proceeds goes to Susan G. Komen.

The above flat lay outfit has my new flare jeans from Silver jeans and a feather pom pom trim kimono with Jessica Simpson wedges.  The wedges are a few years old but I can provide links for the jeans and kimono.

Silver Jeans Flare Suki Midrise

Kimono Wrap Feather

 Tee is from Tillys.com and was from the Lindsay Perry line paired with the Suki Flare jeans.  I have the link for the jeans above.  Also the crystal necklace I got at Tillys.com as well.  

Wearing my new FP look alike boots for some added height, I like height or heels with flare jeans I don't care to wear a flare or bootcut with flats, skinny jeans look best with flats or sneakers.  My ring is a bison hand made ring from one of my favorite Etsy Jewelry shops Fawning In Love.  She makes the most stunning and original jewelry.  She is a kind soul and her wrapping is so amazing you don't even want to open the package lol.  I will add a link to her shop below and should be in my favorite shops in side bar for sure.

Good Hyouman Tee from eBay.com

Pam & Gela tank from eBay. I Don't give A... graphic tie dye tank.  I love Pam and Angela they have the best graphic tees and tanks I have a collection started.  They retail for $85-130 but I find mine on eBay.com or the sale racks at my favorite stores.  

Paired this great graphic tank with my favorite gray jeans from Loft and then this great positive message wrap bracelet I got from Buckle.com by Good Work(s).  I love to read it when I am feeling stressed or down.  Has all kinds of great positive messages and words.  

The leather cuff came from my friend Pam at Ehlers Store on eBay, link is in my profile and in prior posts.  It says "There's an angel watching over you" and every time I look at it I think of Pam and of my father who is in heaven looking down over me like my own personal guardian angel.  

My tanks are from Target, skirt is by Ecote and is from Urban Outfitters last year and jewlery is all by Lacey Ryan from Maurices.com. 

My fabulous bag is from BohemianVibeBoutique.com and is a boho chic black tote with fringe details. 

Friday wore my twist front burgundy top from Maurices.com and Silver jeans. My gorgeous necklace is made by BlackBlackMoon and came from The Ehlers Co, Passion for Fashion. Link below.

Return from vacation, back to reality week of ootd & armstack IG posts

My OOTD, Arm Stack & Tee photos

Wanted to do a quick post of some of my Instagram ootd posts and armstack posts. Going to get my Instagram feed connected to the blog soon promise but for now sorry to be behind since my return from our summer road trip. Have been really spending a lot of time at the doctor working on new treatment and getting my health on track. A minor set back but my blog is still getting worked on and I hope to have it updated fully soon. For how here are some posts you missed since my return. You can go to @Cr8tiveFashionWanderlust to follow me on Instagram and GypseaWanderer for my Twitter feed, I am newer to Twitter but learning my way. All outfits have details on my Instagram page if you tap photo and I will do my best to cover below shots. 

Have a fabulous weekend and keep an eye out, have a special blog feature I am working on for two sites I found on Etsy that I love. BohoCircus and A Rosy Outlook. Excited to share this feature with you and will also have an exclusive promo code for August you can use to purchase items from their sites. I plan to work on it this weekend, had hoped to go live with the feature this evening but my husband took off a shift and we went bowling then he had to go back to work tonight. He has off tomorrow so we are hoping to spend some quality family time at the beach, I want to make sure I can sit down at my laptop and really dedicate a couple of hours to this feature so I am in no rush, this feature means a lot to me. I will have photos, lots of bohemian inspiration, and the lovely story of the ladies behind the sites and designs. Promise if you love kindred spirits, boheniam style, vintage looks, and gypsy vibes, you will love this post.

                                          BohoCircus

 

  // One of my favorite new sites, they also have a page on Etsy and link is in their IG profile @Bohocircus make sure to check out their sister store @arosyoutlook. ✌️Also you can now click on the above link to take you directly to the site.

   BohoCircus is a great shop I found on Instagram and after checking out their Etsy store the first time,  I was ordering my first tank. I collect graphic tees and already owned a gypsy and wanderlust tank with the definition, once I saw their Bohemian definition tank or tee, had to order one. Their customer service is amazing and the ladies are very kind. They also have another store called A Rosy Outlook. Tha store has lots of Texas tees and items. I emailed them to thank them and let them know how much everyone loved my new tank, also sent a photo of myself wearing the tank paired with a cute black and white skirt. They messaged me back and asked what other tee or tank I was interested in and size, within a week I had a package on my doorstep. I am always so excited and grateful, for years of blogging I read all these reviews and everyone was always getting all these free samples and sponsors to send them items, it took me awhile but now thank to social media it is a lot easier to find new shops and it also helps to have a lot of followers on your social media and blog. I am always so honored and grateful whenever someone sends me a new item to try or wear for my social media. It is great for the stores and brands, along with being great for me. I love to support and help new shops, brands and designers show off their amazing good as well as help them get more exposure. I remember my first samples back when I started from hair product and beauty product companies along with some of my first tee shirts and apparel items. I also would get gift cards for stores and would have a challenge for my bargain shopping to spend under a certain amount but be able to get the most for the money, that was always fun. The ladies from Boho Circus and A Rosy Outlook not only made me so happy sending me two tees, one Gypsea tee and then I was most excited about the Texas Road trip, or Welcome to Texas map tee. I told them about our trip and they were so kind to not only send me the tee shirts but to tell me of all kinds of cool boutiques and shops I could stop at while in Texas. They are so inspiring and awesome. I have since ordered more items and plan to order more pieces for when I get back, I want to get some home decor pieces as well as I feather love bag, I love feathers.

Tee from @Bohocircus on Instagram or BohoCircus online. 

Shorts are by Machine jeans and were purchased for $10 plus promo code so ended up being $7-8 on Wetseal.com. 

I ❤️ this photo and the light radiating the positivity and good vibes around me. I have never been at such a great place in my life where I not only know myself better than ever but I have really accomplished and battled through so many obstacles in life to come out so strong and with such a kind heart, full of love and positivity. Good vibes are the bet feeling ever and I hope to continue down this road well into my 40's. 

  //  Above photo I am wearing a

necklace by Lacey Ryan, it is from her collab with Maurices.com. Love this silver rhinestone necklace with horn. It's gorgeous and wear it often. Another fabulous and talented designer who has been so kind to me. I really am blessed to have met and connected with so many strong, creative, inspiring and empowering woman. The feather is a charm my hubby got me because I love feathers off eBay. 

Shoes are white converse I got new off eBay, in the box still for $20. Great deal. 

Bracelets are Lokai classic, blue and camo. Visit them on IG @Livelokai. 

Will be adding the links when we get back from vacation, hoped or thought I would have time but haven't been busy on this trip even at night. Having a great time. 

My evening look is a camo tank from Walmart. Only cost $3. 

Vest was from Marshall's awhile back always love vests or cardigans now kimonos the passed couple years for wearing over tanks and tees. Necklace was from Tillys and the skirt is Urban Outfitters. I have two because it's so awesome. Has side pockets with tie strings and side slits. Rocks totally ✌️. Comfy and stylist. 

My bag is from JCrew.com. It's a black with tan inside, large tote bag. Great for vacation fits my wallet, camera, sun block, hat, sunglasses, reading glasses and what ever the kids decide they don't want to carry or wear lol. Also items we buy while adventuring. Love it. 

      

My new hair color is called the Rose Gold Ombre. It's a blonde, peach, coral, orange and reddish gold tone color, using Pravana brand hair dye, which is the best for vibrant long lasting fun colors. Mixed with Olaplex for the stripping or removal of previous color than using a treatment on after dying and a at home conditioner my hair has never been healthier. I started using Pravana over four years ago before that used Paul Mitchell ink and other brands mixed to produce the colors but never lasted as long or were as vibrant. The Olaplex treatments I started after the holidays and only used the olaplex either when removing or stripping or after color. Only recently since spring have I been using the three step treatments and they have changed my color game. Before I always had to worry about removing color or lighting my under neath darker or brighter shades, would usually have damage and was always having to cut my hair but luckily now my hair is passed my mid back and healthier than ever. Love it. I also don't shampoo I use a conditioning cleanser by Matrix similar to Wen hair care, plus only use once a week at the most trying to go as long as I can between washes, I don't use flat irons or hot tools expect a curling iron here and there or when I got it done had it blow dried straight because I have been wearing natural for awhile. I have very strong hair, that with stands a lot of coloring and stripping or bleaching, as well as course, thick and curly hair. I am blessed by the hair God's to have very thick and strong hair. Love pravana color and Olaplex. I truly love my new color and haven't had this many compliments since last summer and the summer before when I went to my orchid and purple ombré then the purple lavendar ombré last summer. The blue was fun and loved th mermaid locks but loving my new lighter and brighter colors. I get stopped so many times when we are out asking for photos, where I got it done and what colors were used it's amazing. Love to inspire others to be brave and bold with their hair color. We only live once and color is so fun along with a great way to express your inner creative and wild child. I always tell ladies of all ages and stages in life that anyone can rock it just have to find what works for you. I have not been brave enough to dye from root to tip in awhile but I am over 3/4 color and only a 1/4 blonde bow most of my hair is pravana. Starting with a light peach then fading into a coral, then light orange and bright orange to finish off with a reddish shade almost strawberry blonde but funkier on the ends. The vibrancy and shine is stunning. 

Be sure to check out the new online boutique I am collabing with they had a sale tonight for happy hour with 30% off using code HH30. Not sure if it's over yet was from 6-7 I believe check them out please and be sure to follow. Great bohemian style and fashion. Their Instagram is @BohemianVibeBoutique and they have the best boho chic and gypsy inspired clothing. Also be sure to check out the one of kind accesories and jewelry, one of my favorite Adam Rabbit has some pieces on their website. Love the agate slice bangle. Gorgeous and plan to order one for my collection after vacation. 

Wanted also to say thank you so much, was notified the other day my blog has reached an all time steady high in numbers for daily, weekly and monthly views. I usually get a lot of high numbers but have had some of my highest numbers ever especially in two years this year, including three consecutive months of amazing views, comments and more. Means so much to me that my blog I started for fun really is enjoyed my so many. I hope to only better it more now that I have some collaborations, brands I am rep'ing for along with many people sending me samples. Plus now that I work in the fashion industry full time as a professional stylist and curator I am able to bring you even more fun fashion stuff. Going to have a behind the scenes photo shoot post coming up for a local swimwear designer and her shoot for her website coming up, and much more. I am super excited and happy. I really am such a grateful and humble person so to have this blog be doing so good makes me so happy. Xoxo love you all ❤️✌️

Melissa 

PS I am away till the 22 and once I return home I will be finishing with editing the blog as of 2015 with adding all new clickable links, and photos. Also I will be adding more reviews, going to have a review only tab, photos tab or style look book tab, deals and bargain shopping tips as well as links to press, media and other guest spots I have done on other blogs, pod casts, and magazine features. Excited to share. I have a review I wrote for Miami swim week on swim wear and the Triangl bikini that is in a local magazine as well as on their blog and a feature in the Miami Fashion review. I will have a press, media and editorial feature page added also. My goal was to launch a new blog but don't want to lose followers or confuse anyone so going to just make some adjustments and additions to the page. Hoping to really fix it up and now that I am able to with my new MacBook hubby got me, excited to show all of what I have learned as well as features for my new spot working a Silver Jeans Ambassodor, collabs with Boho Circus, Bohemian Vibe Boutique, Mandee's, some amazing jewlery designers and four different tee shirt designers that I am going to be debuting some exclusive designs for. Over the moon happy to share all of this with everyone. Also will have more Triangl stuff, have several new suits waiting besides my Brigette Moondance and some dupes, then some higher end inspired suits to compare for everyone. If you love the Triangl suits you will find a style you love in your price range. Don't forget to check eBay. I won two off eBay under $50 brand new that people ordered and didn't fit with tags and box. Remember look around before taking the plunge if you are younger or on a budget, you can have high end designer stuff without breaking the bank trust me. I am not rich by any means and I have loads of clothing and designers, I have a love for high end clothes but I don't spend a lot I shop savvy and love to save. Have a great one and thank you again my eyes swell up with gratefulness and pride over everything good coming from my blog, job, and social media. I am so blessed and thankful. Peace and love always. XOXO ✌️❤️
