Little House on the Prairie Vintage Inspired outfit...


Inspired by the prairie looks of the 1970s, when I was born my mom told me my older brother liked the name Melissa which was one of the actresses from the show Little House on the Prairie. 


This vintage find was a good one finding not just the skirt, but matching top and sash tie belt.  Love the details and lace, very high quality and in excellent vintage condition looks like brand new.


Kept it simple wearing the outfit how it would have been worn many years ago and adding just a simple Lacey Ryan blue tassel gold bangle.  


Hope everyone has a great week and Veteran's day weekend. Peace, love, and light always xoxo Melissa ~

Rock n Rolling into the weekend

Happy Friday to all, I am rocking and rolling right into the weekend today. 


Leather skirt by Forever21, old top that is sheer with white crosses, suede slouchy Steve Madden 80's vibe boots. 


My necklace and triple stack bracelets are Rock and Republic. Got them awhile back when Kohl's first started carrying this brand. Always been a leather, black, ripped jeans and skull kinda girl with lots of chunky jewelry and bangles. 

My Friday look has me inspired for the weekend. Excited to be going to Rockville again this coming year. We had a blast last April and can't wait for this years line up. Lots of awesome bands and love that we make it a family trip. 

Got off work and changed wanted to quickly pop in and share my Pam & Gela tee. 



And then some of my Alex and Ani silver bangles and wraps with a Good Works leather wrap I love. 


Have a great weekend. Xoxo ❤️✌️

Jewelry is a Black Black Moon crescent moon pendant with crystal stone purchased from Ehler's Co Passion for Fashion on eBay, link is in my favorite shops and you can mention my blog to receive 20% off your purchase.

She is awesome and has so many amazing accessories and great fall/winter trends in stock. Will have more on her store and Nita Angeletti's amazing designs, along with photos of the two Black black moon necklaces I have from her shop. My other crystal bar necklace is from Tilly's I will also add a link for similar items since I got this necklace on clearance awhile back, I have some great Etsy shops I love that have similar items that are hand made and you can support small businesses. My bracelets are by Alex and Ani. 


A black and white shot of one of my arm stack wrist parties featuring all Alex and Ani pieces. Just got some of their newest collection of charm bracelets, wraps and a crystal beaded piece I love. Will have lots of amazing arm stacks to feature. Also purchased a couple hand made bracelets for my collection. 



Here I am wearing a fabulous army green vest I got on sale from Pacsun made by Gypsies and Moondust. My graphic tank has studded shoulder details and is older think I got back four years ago in the summer. It's from Macy's and made by Material girl, says young love and has the studded shoulder, high low cut and is worn look, burnout cloth with gold foil details.

Necklace is from the Lacey Ryan for Maurice's  fall line. www.maurices.com. I love this three layer necklace with a bar, arrowhead stone and gold feather. I love every piece I own and many other pieces I have on my wish list from the amazing designer. Her line with Maurice's is awesome and super affordable then she has her higher end line which is my favorite, I want every piece and wish I could afford them all. 



My daughter still has the Julep Maven box, I have not featured them lately because I have either opted to not get the box or swapped out items for eyeshadow, eyeliner, lipstick or gloss and other items. Got some great new makeup brushes and an eye brow kit last month. I was out of town so didn't get to pick what I wanted so get my monthly box, love the matte metallic and really excited to try the facial milk.  


Some of the new Alex and Ani pieces I liked, I also got a couple of the stackable ring charms as a spoon ring. I loved the older compass, new celestial charm and the feather and eye charm. I purchased both gold and silver. My collection has grown a lot since last year when my mother gave me my Buddha as a gift. Love to stack them and add other bangles I have also. 

Off to bed but have a great weekend, I will update with links tomorrow and more. Hope you are having a great start to November and the holiday season. Xoxo. ✌️❤️🎶

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.
