My week of ootd posts

My Week of Fashion OOTD posts...

Here are some of my #ootd posts from IG and Twitter.  




I found these cute tunic babydoll dresses last fall and ordered a tan one, it arrived damaged so the owner of the eBay shop was kind enough to let me keep the damage one, which I sewed the seam that was undone, and she sent me this one to replace for free.  Love when a store has amazing customer service and goes above everything to make sure their customer is satisfied.  I could not find an exact match but below found a close one in navy.  If you search Umgee Babydoll Tunic lots of styles will pop up and all different prices.


Similar design in Navy 

I happened to get very lucky one day when walking the shopping plaza by my house and one of the little boutiques was having a sidewalk sale, I found my white crochet and fringe detail vest marked down for $7.99.  I tried to find a good bargain deal but had a hard time even finding this style vest.  Right now the fringe all over vests are trending, which I ordered one while searching I found for under $25 on eBay.  I saw they were trending and selling for over $35 up to $50 so grabbed one that was $22 with shipping.  Love it.






My sandals are knee high MIA black gladiators.  I had a gift certificate I won for PacSun so I scooped up two pairs of these and some feather print Converse, along with a few cute graphic tees and tanks.  I found links for the same sandals below in both brown and black.  I have a similar dress to the one above in tan and brown with a red, blue multi colored Navajo style print on the front chest area that look amazing with the brown sandals or brown boots. 


My necklace I was able to find almost the exact same one at Maurices.com below




Last up my bracelet, purchased from my local Forever 21 store.  As you know their stock sells out fast and is always changing.  I could not find the same exact one, mine is a stretchy silver turkish looking bracelet with little bells on the outside.  I found this pretty etched silver bangle 




My wrist party is Alex and Ani bangles, I have a retired feather bangle, the charm feather, buddha charm, monopoly dog, and pineapple charm.  I also am wearing one of my PuraVida Bracelets for a splash of color.  Be sure to check out PuraVida and use my code MelissaSep10 for a discount when checking out.  They are a great company donating money to many charities and proceeds from the sales of all the items helps employ local Costa Rican Artisans.







    More Karma Less Drama tee by LeMotto.  Black and white pencil skirt from Forever 21, statement necklace for Walmart for $5, Rock & Republic heels ( best heels ever so comfortable), Alex and Ani charm bangle and heart beaded stretch bracelet, mixed with some gold plain bangles and my Juicy Couture Locket and Key bracelet that was a gift from my mom.







   




My gorgeous necklace is a pink agate slice from Adam Rabbit Jewelry on Etsy.  She had a $10 mystery necklace sale where you would receive a mystery necklace valued up to $30.  I have many pieces by her and love them all, this one is no exception it is beautiful.  She does not stock this exact same necklace in her shop but one of my favorite stores does have the same stone but with gold chain 

My tee shirt was a special order from Girl Monday Apparel on Etsy.  They have lots of fun and humorous sayings on many styles of tees and tanks, we all know I love graphic tees and tanks.  I have found so many amazing shops that I love.



My BillaBong Women's tank is sold out at Pacsun.com, I did find them in stock in all sizes below



My jeans are Jcrew Boyfriend jeans and I have several pairs, they are one of favorite fit and style jeans I own, the distressing is just right and they fit amazing.  Also they are made of the softest denim. I do not put these in the dryer, they are washed on delicate or my steam cleaning setting then hung to dry.  Grab them while they still have some left.  I got them on sale every time and just grabbed a last pair before they are all gone.  Size down one size for good fit.



Use my code MelissaSep10 for 25% discount on all PuraVida orders






I'm a sweet disaster tank, feather kimono with pom pom trim, Hollister boyfriend jeans and Lacey Ryan necklace. Details below for items.







My tee is from Pony Show in Nashville, they have an Etsy store and I have to say all their graphic tees and tanks rock.  Love this store and love all their other vintage items also.  Great find for sure.  


or some that have not read this in my previous posts, I am a Silver Jeans Co Ambassador and love this brand.  My first pair of jeans they sent me when becoming an ambassador for their brand we're these amazing Boyfriends jeans I had wanted to order for a few months.  I have over 20 pairs of Silver Jeans and the only style I didn't own were the boyfriend style.  These are now one of my favorite go to pairs of jeans whether cropped or worn ankle length.  I love them with everything I wear them with.  Check the out in the link below.






My purse is my everyday bag, I got it from the Christmas in July 50% off sale at Bohemian Vibe Boutique.  It is currently sold out and I am looking for others that are comparable.  They did have a brown in stock if you want to check the link below.  It is an amazing bag and I get compliments every day, people always think it was way more expensive.  I paid $30 for it retails for $60, best $30 I ever spent lol.  I have used it daily unless I need a brown bag or something smaller.  It comes with a wristlet style pouch that is attached to one of the straps, then has fringe detail on the sides love love love.  



Above tee is also from Pony Show same link as above...


My amazing shoes from Sophie May Shop in Utah.




Gypsy soul floral tee and Not all who wander tee in blue from Boho Circus.  You can find both tees at 



Gypsy Soul tee by Boho Circus with a Lace kimono from PacSun, Gunne vintage 70's floral skirt and Turkish coin necklace I got off Ebay for under $10.


Above link for the Gypsy Soul tee is for a Unisex Medium please be sure to get your correct size.

My kimono is sold out couldn't find but you can find many styles similar on eBay.




I am the queen of finding items that are really on trend or hot selling items for less.  I saw these necklaces two years ago in a high end catalog for $75-95 and matching bracelet was $50-65.  I got the necklace and bracelet for $10 with shipping.  They are made very well, the material is thick and I have owned my necklace for over a year and worn it many times nothing has broken or happened.  My bracelet I have had a couple months less than the necklace and same thing both are solid well made pieces, very heavy.  Love them and can't imagine anyone who paid the high end price because these really look identical.





Not all who wander tee, Boho Circus


Also available in other sizes and colors, this link is for the unisex Medium.  



Necklace is from one of my favorite Etsy Jewelry shops, Fawning in love.  It was a one time item but she does have similar items and lots of other great pieces everyone should check out.  Make sure to pass by her shop and show some love.




Hope you enjoyed my week of fashion and hope the links help you find the items I wore that you like, trying to make it easier for everyone who reads the blog.

Spring trends for 2015

Last night super late I was inpsired to post a article about Spring and Summer fashion trends for 2015, it was late and I was posting from my iphone, I appologize for typos and rambling.  I blog for fun, because I love fashion, am passionate about finding trends for less, and I love to share my finds with others.  To note quickly I am not a writer nor have I ever claimed to be one, I am a stay at home mom who has a lot of passions, creativty and enjoys sharing things with others.  On that note, let me retype this article for you, I can not promise there won't be any typos because my iphone and ipad have a mind of their own but I almost always read over my posts before I publish them, or if late at night the following day.  Thank you all for your patience and kindness.

I was reading some articles and online posts about the passed runway shows for Spring 2015.  I was so excited to see so many styles, trends and pieces I either own or love for the upcoming season that I was inpsired to put together this post.  I have a fondness for bohemian style trends and this Spring bohemian style is huge.  From bohemian prints, fringe, tassels, kimonos, layers, suedes, denims and more.  I recently have added a few new pieces that I think are on point for the upcoming season.  Below I am sharing a few of my favorite pieces and will have some posts coming up with these pieces styled into my personal wardrobe.


Bohemian. 


This super cute tunic, babydoll dress is popular online right now.  It is available in several prints, colors amd styles.  I have two myself, the above black and cream with tassel tie neck line, I purchased off Ebay, along with a cream and brown tone one from Fashion Junkee.  You can find a link to their online store in my sidebar under favorite shops. These retail for $27-45 each and are super cute worn as a dress with tall boots or gladiator style sandals, as well as with cropped leggings as a top or tunic with strappy sandals.


Crochet or lace detail cardigans and kimonos are hot. This Umgee cardigan is available on eBay. 


Floral long bohemian style dresses are super hot for spring and found this one below inexpensive on eBay. 

Looks like it would cost a lot but is actually selling for $7.99 plus $7.99 for shipping. Amazing price. You can wear a light weight tank or cami under this with even some cropped leggings. Super cute and an awesome dress for your spring closet. 


Crochet detail again for that bohemian feel. This item is from Fashion Junkee at www.fashionjunkee.com


Mixed prints and solids are hot for spring. This long maxi wrap dress has a solid top, chevron skirt with printed bottom. I have found mixing textures and patterns to be a lot of fun, great for layering or for distracting the eye to keep focus off one area of the body for those of us who are self conscious of certain problem areas. This cute dress above was found on eBay and priced at $34.95. I will be posting some photos of myself in some of these pieces as I wear them. If you don't already follow me on Instagram check out my IG page I try to post ootd's and wiw now shots whenever I remember. 


Super cute black and white striped tunic with floral detail. From Mindy Mae's Market. Love tunics because you can wear them as a short spring dress or as a shirt with leggings and even skinny jeans. This is a super cute shop and you can find a link in my sidebar or go to www.mindymaesmarket.com. 

Lace and fringe 


Lace and crochet tops are hot this spring 


Fringe and suede both rocked the runways of many high end designers. 
I love long necklaces with feathers and different earthy style charms, from ivory style horns, shells pieces and stones. 


Long fringed detail dress off the runway. Photo from an online spring fashion review by Vogue. Wanted to show how many of the pieces this spring off the runways are rocking fringe or tassel  details which are all very popular with the bohemian style of dressing. 


Simple ivory cardigan with lace detail found on eBay for under $10. I have many kimonos and cardigans to layer over tanks, tees and dresses. One can never have to many great layering pieces. 


Gingham and denim tops or dresses/tunics 

Gingham is another hot item this season whether a dress, top or skirt. 


These are from Mindy Mae's market online and they have light pink and dark pink 


Along with my personal favorite gold gingham, also from Mindy Mae's Market
www.mindymaesmarket.com. I am excited to order a couple of these for an upcoming post. 


Fashion Junkee denim two tone tunic dress with tassel belt. Denim is huge this spring from vests, jackets, tops, skirts and of course dresses. Another hot style is the button dress shirt. Looks like your man's favorite button down but add a belt or sash then you have a cute stylish dress. Again for those who don't like to wear super short styles you throw on a pair of leggings or even skinny jeans you still have a super cute, trendy look for spring. 


Sticking with the dress shirt style tunic here is another hot item from Fashion Junkee. They also have a lot of hot kimonos, cardigans, tops and dresses that are all trendy for spring/summer 2015. Be sure to tell them you saw their site on my blog. If you have IG follow them @fashionjunkeedotcom. 



Another fringed floral kimono, I don't think one can have to many cardigans or kimonos for any season as I mentioned above and this floral number is amazing over stylish tee shirts or tanks. Even as a cover up to the beach this summer with cut off shorts. 


Suede was huge on the runways for spring, and  fringe as I mentioned above this skirt I found on eBay with fringe bottom detail would be perfect for the season.  

Hope you enjoyed some of my late night finds. A lot of these items are items I have on my wishlist from several shops or in my cart or watch list on eBay, I have ordered many of them already or will be ordering them soon. I will be posting some of the pieces in upcoming posts also you can see a lot of them on my Instagram if you follow me. My IG name is @cr8tivemamarazzi. Please be sure to look over some of my older posts which I have posted many of my favorite tee shirts and styles that I have worn, I may have some similar pieces already posted here. Enjoy and happy spring shopping.


This is the same style bohemian tunic from above but in a brown shade with button details. Has a little tribal feel with the red and colorful section on the top front and back portion. 


Had a couple people tell me they would like to see more photos of myself wearing the clothes versus photos from the shops or online, I don't own every style I select or I haven't worn them all yet. I try to post my outfit of the day or what I am wearing now on my Instagram, along with adding shots weekly here. I would link my Instagram but have photos of my kids and other things that don't have anything to do with the blog topics. Thank you all for you kind words and support. Hope that this article is better then my late night post. Again I don't have my laptop currently and I am using I am my iPhone and the mobile blogging site but I will do my best to read over my posts before publishing for future typos. Have a great weekend. Xoxo,
