Spell stole my heart with Lion Heart Collection

Spell and the Gypsy Collective Lion Heart 

www.shop.spelldesigns.com

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

Turkish coin jewelry found on eBay 

www.ebay.com

My style: Boho Chic

If you had to ask me what my style is I would have to say a mix of rocker, boho and gypsy style. I love tee shirts, tank tops, ripped jeans, sandals, bling, skirts, vests, kimonos, bohemian jewelry, Buddhas and more. Here are some examples below of some of my favorite finds lately, from jewelry to clothes.

I love sandals with jewels or bling, or just strappy flat sandals. Got an amazing pair of talk gladiator sandals at Marshall's on sale over the fall that I can't wait to wear this spring. Posted on my IG back months ago. Also found a lot of Kimonos on eBay from 6-9 bucks, all my boho Turkish jewelry I have gotten off eBay for under $10 most were actually under $5, only thing is you have to wait for international shipping very patiently lol. 

I love long skirts and flowy vests, or the draping flowy tops with crochet details. I have posted a couple posts mentioning Fashion Junkee and they have some cute tops and kimonos that are so my style. Check out the below photos and I will add details later on where to find and prices. Have had a migraine for a week now and can't wait for my Botox treatment. 

Found this Kimono which at the time was selling for $28-40 online, on eBay for $8-9 and it's amazing.  Fashion Junkee has one I want in white with floral design that is similar on sale now. Hoping to get one next week if they have any left. 

This super cute top will be in my cart for next week ordering from Fashion Junkee, they have a cute dress and another top similar I have in my cart also. Love this shop can't get enough. 

This cute kimono style lace crochet detail is $12 on eBay. Ordering for sure for my spring wardrobe.

Ordered this almost a month ago and should arrive any day now from eBay. Was $6.50. Looks just like one I saw on Anthropologie website for way less. Can't wait to pair with some denim capris and olive green and brown tops. I have the perfect sandals for these in brown with gold and turquoise beading. 

Got this cute top off eBay also $10 with shipping and should have any day now. 

My LeMotto tee and gypsy bohemian skirt I have had for many years, so many I can't even remember where I got it. Super cute and has silver round coin looking details that dangle all over it. Love this look and a great example of dressing up tee shirts with a skirt. 

Above are some of my bohemian, Turkish style necklace I have found on eBay. Below are some similar on eBay now or that I recently have ordered to add to my collection. 

I ordered this one for $6.99 last week similar to the one I have already but like the center detail. 

I got this one a year ago off eBay for $5.99 and love it have seen similar ones sell for three to four times that. 

My favorite kind of arm party is a bohemian one. I have loved this type of jewelry since I was a teen. It's funny cause the new tattoo chocker necklaces that are plastic I see my teen wearing, I wore when I was her age, and pieces like this I was wearing around 16-20. Still have some of my older pieces. Including a anklet that jingles. We go to the renaissance festival every year and I wear my gear, usually dress up like a gypsy or bohemian style maiden. 

Love these wide bangles. They look amazing solo or with some coin or simple Turkish style bracelets. 

Love these feather bracelets, my mom got me my first Alex and Ani bangle for Christmas, which is the Buddha one.  I had to check them out right away online because I loved it so much and my next purchase was the solid feather, a hamsa and evil eye.  They look great with the bohemian style bracelets also. 

This is my Alex and Ani feather bangle, they also have one with a feather charm. My next tattoo will be a feather. Love the feather design. 

I won the above skirt at a party I went to many years ago for a gym opening for a friend of mine. They had pole dancing classes, yoga, belly dancing and other types of workout classes, I won the bellydancer package that came with this skirt, Turkish coin necklace, bracelet, anklet and the finger cymbals. Super cool. I also have a blue scarf or skirt like this I got my oldest daughter at one of the renaissance festivals to wear. Super cute, can be worn as a scarf, shawl, or skirt. I wear mine around my waste or shoulders over a long skirt and top, that's my renaissance costume. My kids now have their own and are usually gypsies or pirates. Lol. 

More jewelry layered, got this shot from eBay and one of the items I just ordered a couple weeks ago. Got the turquoise and silver bracelet to match my others for $6 amazing prices. 

My bangle in antiqued silver, paid $4 with free shipping a few months ago and is amazing quality. 

Love turquoise pieces and this one is gorgeous. 

Remember if you love these pieces you can find them on my websites but check out eBay if you have an account, they have a lot you can bid on and buy it now choices also. Almost always free shipping but patience is key cause the shipping can take 1-3 weeks specially on these smaller pieces. 

Enjoy and hope you love my stellar finds for the boho chic style. More rocker chic looks coming soon.
