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 Moroccan Luxe and Desert Queen from Lion Heart Collection

I had to share photos of my favorite new Spell and the Gypsy Collective pieces from their latest Lion Heart Collection available now.

Here I am wearing the Desert Queen graphic tee in black with the Moroccan Luxe skirt. I wear normally a size M-L tee and size S-M skirt.  I went with the L graphic tee so I could tie it up no problem and wanted a looser fit, and the skirt I went with a size S cause before the launch all the photos I was seeing on social media and such it seemed to be a full skirt and after checking the waist size on their website it was the same size measurement as the Zahara Midi Skirts in a M.

I loved the Moroccan luxe skirt so much I went back to order the matching blouse, I went with the S/M cause it is oversized and I still have a very loose fit.  The back has a slit up the bottom and makes it easy to tie the shirt back if you don't want to tuck it in for a more fitted look to accentuate the waist or I also love it with jeans.  Such an amazing style and print, love the muted gray and ivory tones then the cotton gauze fabric is so amazing.

I really had a hard time picking my fave photos and normally that isn't an issue for me I could take 40 pics and end up with a few I like, but this day my youngest daughter was my photographer and she took so many amazing photos.  It isn't hard to look good and feel beautiful when you are wearing amazing clothing.

I always love Spell and the Gypsy graphic tees so of course I got this tee in both colors as you have seen on my Insta feed and here on my blog.

I can't wait for this upcoming week when Spell releases the second half of the Lion Heart Collection. I am in love with the blush peachy tone maxi skirt and off the shoulder 3/4 sleeve blouse.  I have a few items along with that set on my wish list waiting to see the pricing and then what the sizing is like.

Thank you to everyone for all of your support and please comment below with what your favorite pieces are from the new collection or upcoming release this week.

Also please don't forget to use my exclusive link to shop this collection and all Spell and the Gypsy items.  I have had a few emails or DM messages asking me if my link only works for the US site.  The answer is no it works for both sites.  After you click my link you can go to the top right corner and select US or AU site from the drop down.  Also if you view my blog from your desktop or go to the bottom of the screen on your smart phone you will see where you can select to view the full or desktop version of my blog, then if you look in my sidebar on the right hand side I have banners for Spell that are both for the Australian and US sites I have them labeled which is which.  

If you have any sizing questions or anything you might want to ask me prior to ordering please feel free.  I always am asking about sizing and fit, material, etc so I do my best to get tons of details from Spell customer service which is always excellent about answering my many questions but I like to be able to provide any help I can in thanks to all the ladies who shop using my link.  I also get a lot of feed back on social media from other ladies about how they feel about the fabric, style, colors, fit, sizing and so forth.  I really want to be able to help make the shopping experience easier for you and also as a Spell sister help you make a desciosion or choice you feel confident with since I know many  like me hate to have to return items.  Also Spell usually sells out in a lot of if not most of the sizes and styles usually right away, they will restock some items usually but it is hard if you want to exchange an item so I want to help you get the size and style you love the first try.

Thank you for passing by my blog, it means the world to me to see all the visitors from all over the world, and to read all the emails and comments from everyone.  Sending peace, love and light always xoxo.  Melissa

Loving this skirt from one of my faves Quiqui Clothing, a brand I have been lucky to collaborate with since she released her collection on IG.  I love the new black neutral color Maverick skirt, it has white details throughout and some brown accents in the bottom ruffle detail.  I also have the matching long sleeve wrap top that I think looks so fun with this skirt.  Be sure to visit her Instagram page and show some love, she has lots of amazing styles and always adding new styles, for the quality you cannot beat the prices.  I have close to a dozen skirts now and every single one is made with attention to detail and soft flowing fabrics.  Her IG is @Quiquiclothing.

Silly pose I know but had my girl take some pics of me walking the sidewalk on the side of our house to get the flowing and fullness of this lovely skirt.  I am always trying to find black and neutral skirts to wear with my large collection of graphic and band tee/tanks.  This one is perfect, as you can see in the photos it matches perfectly with this Bohemian definition tank I have had for several years by Boho Circus.  

Hope you enjoy my bohemian inspired outfit of the day from over the weekend.  Sandals are from American Eagle, I had a brown pair I got at Target and fell in love with them but when I went back to get black they were not on sale anymore and couldn't find my size.  I found these shopping for back to school with my girls and they were only $7.  Sometimes when you hold off you find the best deals.  Sending peace, love and light to y'all. xoxo

Folklore by House of Skye

fσℓкℓσяє ву нσυѕє σf ѕкує

For some time now I have been a huge fan of House of Skye's Flamenco skirts.  I love the short front and long back, also known as castaway style or high low skirts.  I love how this collection she added the lace detail to the flamenco for a more feminine touch.  It looks amazing with the pastel purple print and lovely light weight fabric.  Her fabric is another reason why I love these skirts because of the lightness of the material it has a very flowy and flirty look.  I also got the blue midi skirt in this print I will be wearing very soon.

I styled it with one of her matching graphic tanks, I love how every collection she always has 4-6 styles of graphic tanks to mix n match with her skirts.  Everyone who follows me knows how much I love to rock a graphic or band tee/tank with a fun boho chic skirt.  That is pretty much my staple outfit of the day style, mixing in jeans and layers with vintage jewelry or accessories. You can follow the link below to check out Tash from House of Skye's amazing new Folklore collection, she has several skirts and dresses that are so fun and flirty.  Hope everyone has a wonderful end to their week and thank you for stopping by.  I am working on posting all the blog entries I have been doing on my phone and forgetting to make them live here on the blog.  Sorry for my delay in posting and flood of a bunch of posts at once, but my iPhone is acting up and I am waiting for the preorder on the new iPhone X which is the end of the month.  Lots of peace, love and light to all.

Package from @wanderwithmesa on IG 

Lovely packaging and amazing customer service.  Owner went above and beyond to send me sizing details, product information and photos of the styles on, up close , etc.

Shipping was very fast for international shipping and all items arrived wrapped beautifully and in perfect condition.

I have been a long time lover of Spell Design, or Spell and the Gypsy collective from Australia so I have been keeping an eye out on some other brands like Auguste the Label and Arnhem, when this amazing brand House of Skye caught my attention. 

I fell in love with their Flamenco skirt and then once I visited their website only to see they also have fun, vintage vibe graphic tops I was hooked.  The skirts were sold out on the House of Skye website but after commenting on one of her photos on IG she directed me to @WanderwithMesa and they had this color in my size in stock, Thank you Natasha from HOS for that helpful hint because Wander with Mesa was amazing to work with going totally above all expectations.  Then also had the graphic tank in white with Stardust Soul and then other styles/colors that I have recently purchased.

I made my first purchase from the House of Skye website, grabbing the Wild as West graphic tank in rustic, along with pre ordering the Jipsee Days Flamenco skirt in Sunset Sky.  This collection has feathers, cattle skulls, and cactus very Arizona desert inspired with awesome graphic tanks to go with, and of course matching blouses.  You can get the Desert Rose red or Sunset Sky orange in the fabric for the skirt and blouses. The graphic tanks currently are sold out but come in rustic brown and dark washed grey, there are more coming soon in new colors possibly.  They go so amazing together with the color and fabric design, matching the graphic tank designs, total match made in the desert. Has a very earthy desert tone and style to it, she nailed it perfectly calling the collection Lost in Arizona.  These patterns and colors are totally my style because I love everything southwestern with cattle skulls, cactus, feathers and more.  Can't wait for my new pieces to arrive, should be here when I return from Spring break.

The Flamenco skirt above is a S/M and runs true to size I normally wear a S sometimes M in Spell skirts and this one fits perfectly.  The colors are super vibrant and great for spring/summer.  Fabric is light weight, soft and the pattern is really beautiful.  

My Stardust Soul white graphic tank is M/L and fits me good, I may have been able to wear a S/M but being larger busted didn't want to take any chances in case it didn't fit.  Also these items were sold out very fast and hard to come by so I wanted to make sure I secured one skirt and top.  The tank is soft cotton and the pattern is very nice.  They go perfectly together and also are versatile for styling or mixing and matching with other skirts, denim, and then lots of top options for styling with the skirt.

I only tried these on quickly as I have had a lot of stuff going on personally in my life and did not have time to style outfit or even iron.  I am already waiting for another flamenco skirt and one of the wrap style skirts from this same collection, one with purple and the other blue looking tones.  I have a grey Gypsy tank and white with blue print tank on hold waiting for my payment.  I can't wait to have more colors and styles to wear for spring and summer.  I think this skirt being light weight then shorter in the front with long maxi length back is perfect for walks on the beach as well as summer adventures.  Color makes me happy and this entire collection is filled with vibrant beautiful colors.

Be sure to check out House of Skye on their website link below, and see their latest collection Lost in Arizona.  I am working on the outage flamenco skirt and red Dallas skirt with a couple tanks that will look perfect with the skirts.  

Hope you enjoy my review on this new brand I came across, they have been around for a little while but I only first discovered them in the fall, winter of 2016.  

Have a lovely weekend and Happy Spring to all.  Hope everyone has safe and fun spring break vacations, Peace love and light always xoxo

Silver Jeans Co Styles

Silver Jeans Co

www.Silverjeans.com

In the center the Suki Mid skinny jeans with embroidered details.  All these jeans have the Silver Jeans Co We fit flex denim.  Denim that has just the right amount of stretch to hug your curves and fit your body they way you like.  Silver Jeans Co has some new styles being released for Spring that I can't wait to share with you.  They have the Sam, boyfriend jeans and Kenni, girlfriend jeans.  Boyfriend jeans are designed mid rise, with that comfy slouchy fit like a pair of your boyfriends jeans would have, then the girlfriend jeans have a lower/mid rise that are slightly more fitted in the hips and thighs with a tapered leg.  These new fits are a lot like their prior boyfriend and girlfriend fit jeans just some slight changes.

Their new Avery is for the ladies who love the Suki fit, these were designed with the same curvy fit as Suki but these have a higher waist.  I know the Tuesday jeans have always been a favorite of mine but the older low waist isn't really my go to rise anymore so now keep an eye out for Calley, these have the straight fit a lot like Tuesday jeans but with a mid rise.  Then Silver Jeans has designed the Mazy which is going to be the high waisted version of the Tuesday jeans.  I cannot wait to try both these styles since Tuesday fit were my first love by Silver Jeans Co.

Below are the Berkley Jeans which are similar to the popular Aiko fit with slightly curly fit and shape perfecting low rise.  The leg has a slight straight fit through the thigh and then tapers toward the ankle.  Love these and can't wait to share some photos of them on.  If you ever wanted a higher waist the new Aiko's have been designed with a comfortable mid rise waist now perfect for everyday wear.

I will be bringing you more of the new styles in the weeks to come for Spring.  I just ordered some of the Kenni jeans and will be rocking the Berkley in weeks to come.  I am sure it will only be a few weeks before I have multiple new styles to share with you and some new shorts also.  I was on www.silverjeans.com today and in love with their cute new graphic tops then their new shorts caught my eye.  I am always looking for just the right fit shorts, I have found many styles of jeans I love but shorts are always another story.  

Work Hard, Slay Harder and Pray Hardest graphic tank by Whimsy Fashion, head over to Instagram and follow them @whimsyfashionllc and you can visit their website here: WhimsyFashion.com.  Here I paired my graphic tank with the Berkley Jeans by Silver Jeans Co. 

There's a full moon a rising' Let's go dance in the light.  Flannel is by Gypsy Warrior and paired with my Silver Jeans Co Suki Mid Skinny Jeans.

Have fun checking out the newest styles and fits by Silver Jeans, and be sure to check out Whimsy Fashion too, they have lots of cute and affordable graphic tops for your spring wardrobe.  Peace, Love and Light always xoxo

Dazey LA Graphics

Dazey LA Graphics

https://www.dazeyla.com

A few months back I came across @Dazey_la on Instagram when searching for some new amazing graphic tee designers and brands.  I had found the page for @Electricwest from my friend who designs Bikinis out of tees and saw the Dazey La site, quickly I discovered she has designed so many of my fave graphic tees by some larger labels and was quickly drawn to her amazing designs, style and personality.  I love how supportive, kind, creative and inspiring she is to all other brands, designers as well as bloggers, stylist and her followers/customers.  She is super awesome and I am so beyond inspired by her amazing designs.  My first order was the Don't Hate Collaborate tee and Make your Own luck.  I had been wanting to order through out the summer but saw her tees ran one size fits all, well we all know that isn't always the case so I was worried that her tees wouldn't fit me good, but then noticed her new designs were available in two sizes so gave it a try.  They not only fit so nice, but these tees are all hand distressed and so soft.  Every tee feels and looks like a vintage tee, one of those fave tees you have had most of your life and can't part with.  All her designs are unique, cool and fresh with lots of styles, colors and let me tell you these tees can be styled so many ways.

If you have followed me for some time you know I am a huge graphic top lover and collector, I will wear a graphic tee with jeans or shorts, but then you will see me wearing them with skirts and heels all the time also.  My staple item to my wardrobe is the graphic tee shirt and to have such an amazing brand like Dazey LA that is empowering women not just in the design or fashion industry but ladies all over makes me even prouder to support this amazing lady and her label.

I can't get enough of her summer tees with the choices of colors.  I have so many graphic tees and as you all know most graphic tees are usually white, black or grey.  It is so refreshing to be able to select from colors and to have amazing bold, colorful prints also.  Love love this line and cannot say enough about the quality, design and customer service.  Everything has been amazing, I pre ordered the Don't Hate and Make your own Luck tees in the beginning of October and they shipped sooner then I had thought, then arrived quickly and I was so happy with the quality of the print, shirt and over all design.

Once I saw these fit me I instantly was contacting Dazey to see if the one size tees were much smaller then the M/L in the newer designs.  She was very quick to answer me back and actually told me that the older one size tees ran a little larger then or about the same as the M/L tees.  I was so excited and wished I had only ordered the multiple tees I had been wanting most of the summer.  It's better that I was able to order them still, some of the designs are selling out and may not be restocked.  I actually planned to order the 3 colored tees I had been eyeing because the Best Vibes tee was sold out but she found some extras, so I jumped on all the ones that said low inventory and then ordering the last colored one I don't have in Blue today.

As you can see these look amazing with jeans but look how gorgeous my Unbreakable Dazey LA tee looks with the new Lovebird Collection just released last week on Thursday by Spell and the Gypsy Collective.  Is it not a perfect match made in styling heaven with loads of color and just an overall happy feel.  I love color and Dazey LA does not lack that punch of color and over all killer designs I am always drawn to with graphic tees and tops.  It's funny when I look back on my blog to 3-4 years ago and some of my favorite online tee shirt shops to now.  I am so happy to have found another amazing tee line with an amazing, creative, straight up chill designer with a great heart who is supporting and inspiring women all over.

Be sure to check her out on IG and Twitter @Dazey_La and head over to her site for graphic tops, bottoms, hats, pins, patches and more.  She is someone I think you will be seeing a lot of amazing work from here on out, and I bet just like me you may already own some of her amazing designs on a tee from another label she has worked with or designed for.  I know when I found her page and saw some of the designs she has done in the passed I was amazed to see a few I owned already.

Here's to a fabulous week, and as always 

Peace, Love and Light to all.

Happy shopping my friends and be sure to check out the newest drop from Spell, Lovebird and if you are looking for some really amazing swimwear check out the Isla Bay line also released last week,  I know I am excited for the second half of the Lovebird collection.  I got myself this skirt since I am in Christmas and birthday mode for my kids trying to not spend on me, but had to get one piece before they all sold out and it's funny my hubby went online to order me the tank, and luckily he got me a different skirt, he said he almost got the blue but since blue is my favorite color he knew I had a few Spell skirts in blue so he went with the red.  After a fun girls weekend with my kids in Orlando it was fun to come home to my packages and enjoyed styling the above look using my new Spell skirt and Dazey LA tees I got prior to leaving.   Hope you had a great Sunday Funday off to relax.  XoXo
