Spell and the Gypsy collective Lion Heart drop 2....

Here I am wearing the Spell angel green tank in a large, as you can see it fits perfectly and has room, the top doesn't stretch and mess up graphics at all.  Skirt is the sage mini skirt in a medium which I only sized up to wear lower on my hips to get added length because I don't like to wear skirts too short.  

Necklace is from Walmart cost $3 on sale was a gift from my mom and regular price was marked $5. Colors match amazing with this collection with the sage/olive green, peach and light blush pink.  Bracelet was a custom idea I had made by my girl Laura who owns Fawninginlove on Etsy.  She always sees my visions and brings them to life.

Happy mid week and hope everyone enjoys their weekend, I am working on getting all my posts published live here since I have been behind and I am going away 5 days in the mountains and an extra day in our new hometown.  Peace love and light y'all xoxo

Spell and the Gypsy Drop 2 of LionHeart tomorrow night please read...

Spell & the Gypsy Collective

Lion Heart collection

Tonight is the Spell live runway preview of the pieces from the second drop of their latest and hottest collection Lio Heart.  After the live runway show on their IG @spell.byronbay and FB page I will be hosting my own Question and Answer platform for everyone.  As many of you may have noticed I have my own custom link I share here in banners and posts, then in my social media pages as well.  In appreciation to all the out pouring of support I get from my fellow Spell sisters I wanted to giveback so last drop I made sure to do some leg work to find out sizing details, pricing and whatever else I was able to find out about each item, so I can make the shopping experience easier for everyone.

Just get together your wish list and either email me, DM me on IG @Cr8tivewanderlust or on my FB page you can send me a message also.  I will be spending later this evening sending the measurements for the sizes you inquire about, pricing info and whatever else I am able to find out so that way when you go to place your order tomorrow night you can know what fits into your budget and also what sizes you want so you don't have to take time looking up each item or trying to figure out how many Cm's and inches lol.

I know myself for years would have loved to been that prepared for each drop and maybe would have been able to get more items or plan out my budget better before hot items sold out.  This drop I am so in love with the peach and blush tones along with the sage that I am having a hard time deciding.  My budget is much smaller and I already know the maxi skirt I love is $199 USD and $249 or $269 AUD.  Sorry it is very early and I am not a morning person.

Head over to the Spell and the Gypsy website now using my link to check out more from the photo shoot and these lovely photos I grabbed off their blog.  They took these in Morocco and OMG they are so perfect for the collection.  I have been so inspired by this collection cause I love Moroccan design and style.  As an interior and architectural designer Morocco has always been a huge inspiration in my own personal design style.

For those who may not be aware I decided to start sharing the Spell links after being diagnosed in 2014 with MS and Sjogren's syndrome after realizing I would be missing out on many of their collections and styles.  Spell has been so amazing to me and I want to always give back to everyone from the designers, customer service and of course all my Spell sisters out there.

Just click my link here: https://t.cfjump.com/30821/t/25515?Url=http%3A%2F%2Fshop.spelldesigns.com%2F&SourceType=250&SourceValue=5939 or anywhere in my banners on my blog in side bar, on my social media pages, etc.  You can also copy and paste my link to share on FB or add to your own IG profile for the day, I would be so super thankful and grateful.  You have no idea how much all of you and your support means to me.

What are your fave pieces and what's on your must have or wish list?  Please feel free to comment below as well as add any questions you may have.  The best way to reach my is going to be via IG direct messages, I will be setting up a live group for those who need help with sizing and pricing, all I ask in return is you use my link when placing your order and share it with others.

Loving these amazing patterns and colors they are to die for.

I can't wait to see all my lovely Spell sisters rocking their new designs later this week and just think by this coming weekend we should all be dressing in new Spell and the Gypsy Lion Heart collection.

Peace Love and light to you all, hope you had an amazing weekend and have an awesome week.  Looking forward to chatting with you all later after the live Spell IG and FB preview of the collection. 

Update for sizing: after watching the live preview and runway show the ladies all mentioned most items ran true to size except for the Cassidy dress which was running a little larger. I did a little investigating and couldn't seem to find much information on the actual sizes that made me think they ran larger or smaller so I know I will be sticking to my normal sizes on these new styles. One of the sizing notes I saw for the maxi skirt seemed like it was way off cause I went with a S Moroccan Luxe skirt and M in midi only to have a fuller skirt, the waist seemed much smaller to me but thinking maybe since there is so much material and they have gathered it a lot for the really pretty flowing pleated look maybe the elastic is a bit wider and makes it smaller unstretched compared to the other styles. It also has a much wider tie waist more ribbon like then the normal thin tassel. Several people I know who have gotten to try on these lovely new styles told me they tried on XS-M and didn't see a huge difference in waist mostly length so I'm thinking if you are normally a S-M S will work remember these skirts are a lot of material and heavier then normal too. The blouse I'm going with a L like I did with Elyse and the last Zahara, it has the tie waist and I'm larger busted for smaller busted gals the S would be perfect. The green long sleeve blouse has the stretchy material across the bust I had a few ladies tell me they sized up, mostly taller girls cause they said that made the top feel slightly smaller but these were taller ladies where my shorter ladies told me they went true to size.  The rompers taller girls are sizing up from their normal size for length in the body especially on the solid green one which seems to be very small through the torso and body area. Cassidy top order true to size for your bust and shoulder it is meant to be larger through the waist, shorts are true to size and the dress runs slightly large have been told some ladies went down a size. I hope this helps and if you have specific questions let me know I will do my best to answer. Oh also before I forget the spell angel tank in green, I know I was trying to decide between a L or XL after seeing the live runway and comparing sizing it is meant to fit tighter and more fitted not like a tee or their normal tanks. I would go with a L and I'm very large busted mostly cause I noticed on the model that the under arm seemed rather large and longer. For smaller girls with smaller bust I would order true to size or size down for more fitted look and up for your bralette to show under arms, I know some ladies like this Peek a boo look. The Spell ladies have done another amazing job creating a gorgeous line and can't wait for my items to arrive and share here with all of you. Hoping I make the proper sizing choices. Make sure to be ready to go tonight and order those maxis and the green romper quickly those will sell out really fast. Same with the sage green skirt and blouse set. Good luck to all and happy shopping xoxo.

Dance beneath a Diamond Sky

Dance beneath a Diamond Sky 

My Monday outfit of the day is styled with the sky as my theme. I finally found my unicorn by Spell and the Gypsy, their gorgeous Kiss the Sky maxi skirt in black, with shades of blues and purples. Reminds me of the colors of some of the most gorgeous sunsets I have seen over the ocean. 

I'm so inspired by the beach, gypsy and bohemian styles right now. I have always loved bohemian style but now more then ever it is my go to when getting dressed. I paired my skirt with one of Spell's recent graphic tees, Dance beneath a diamond sky. Kept it simple with some slip on black faux suede, wood bottom clogs from Alrisco Style. Love the gold studs and they are so comfy. Jewelry is a crescent moon stamped with Gypsy by Punkalicious Rocks Jewelry and Whiskey and Bone blue beaded stone bracelet. 

I hope everyone had an amazing start to their week. Kiss the Sky and dance beneath a diamond sky to start your week off right ladies. When you dance make sure dance like no one is watching, cause who cares what anyone else thinks. Life is too short and so precious. Enjoy every moment and live for today.. Lots of peace love and light.

My Gypsy Vibe Outfits of the Week

Hope everyone had a wonderful week, I know mine was full of activities and fun.  It was also full of some amazing Spell and the Gypsy outfits that I wanted to quickly round up and share here with all my blog followers.  

Above is my Spell and the Gypsy Babushka Mid floral skirt with the Smokin Dreams singlet tank.  My denim jacket is a custom hand embellished gem from @my_hippy_heart on IG.  I will include a link for anyone interested in ordering one of amazing designs.  You can pick a jacket or vest and then let her know what colors and style or designs you like, she will then custom make you an amazing one of a kind creation.  I love one of a kind styles that you won't see everyone wearing.  My turquoise squash inspired feather and silver necklace was a set with matching earrings I ordered off eBay for under $25.

My lilac Spell and the Gypsy Boho Skirt from the Oracle collection, paired with the new Gypsy Dancer raglan, which is my new favorite raglan by Spell.  A couple of years ago I ordered a raglan with the truck on it and it was so soft, then have a eagle and dream catcher, and Folk town raglan they are all gorgeous but love the colors of this one, plus it pairs so nicely with my lilac skirt and my purple hair.  My necklace is part of a two piece set from Forever21.com and the double buckle wide belt was part of 4 belts I got from a shop on eBay,  I also have the thinner style, brown and then one has the antique gold hardware where the other 3 have silver.  These belt were under $15 I will post the link below where you can order your own if you like these.  My bracelet is the rose quartz bracelet hand made and charged in Sedona by Charged Jewelry.

Necklace here is by IlyMix, it is a large statement necklace with crystal rhinestones and pearls in silver and gold metal.  Love the large statement necklaces, I have been a member of the Mirina girls for a couple of years and own one of their amazing necklaces, the Gia and have one on it's way for fall.  IlyMix.com has some great styles of necklaces, chokers and gorgeous blanket scarves for fall.  My graphic tee, Adventure Awaits is from Society6, being a graphic tee lover and collector I love this website cause they have tons of graphics and popular sayings/designs you can pick from then you can pick the style of tee/tank and the color.  I know if you love tees/tanks like me then you know how many white, black or grey tees are out there this is the perfect option for adding some more colored tees and tops to your collection.  I went with the unisex v neck to in heather blue.  Love it and it matches so nicely with my Spell and the Gypsy indigo Oracle boho skirt.  Wearing the same belt as above but in the thinner style black with silver hardware.  Love these belts they have a leather front and then button closure stretchable back for all sizes.  The thinner looks great and fits through the loops on your jeans while the wider belt looks nice with skirts and high waisted styles.  My blue beaded bracelet is from Lacey Ryan Jewelry and the other item on my wrist is a blue Hairslinky.

Floral bohemian style top by Gypsies and Moon Dust, love the colors and fit of this top.  My jeans are the Elyse light wash boot cut jeans by Silver Jeans Co.  Love the fit and comfort of these jeans, all Silver Jeans fit amazing but these have their new wefit technology to reduce muffin top on the waist and it really works, along with being super comfy.  These jeans have a distressed look with ripped knees but not over distressed.  My bracelets are Alex and Ani romance wrap and Charged Jewelry rose quarts charge your heart bracelet. 

Graphic tee, Mountain Dweller is from Scout and Cloth paired with Gypsies and Moondust maroon long cardiganwith patches, Tilly's bolo style faux suede wrap style choker with crystal accents.  My black jeans are Silver Jeans Co Tuesday ankle jeans with distressing and frayed cropped legs.  Bracelets are Whsikey + Bone on Etsy use WANDERLUSTBABE to save off your order.

Ettika Lady in charge long chain earrings available at www.southmoonunder.com.  

Mi.iM strappy booties in Taupe with low heel.  Love these have the taller ankle boots in Brown and Slate from last fall and had to get this new style.  Love this brand shoes they make amazing styles that look like all the hottest or latest trends for each season at a fraction of the cost.  I got these from Red Dress Boutique because it was hard to find this color or Khaki in my size.  The grey, slate color was easier to find.  These run a 1/2 smaller due to the pointed toe I think so I recommend sizing up a 1/2 size if possible. 

Spell and the Gypsy Ziggy tee and Folklore peasant style blouse, have the Ziggy blue bells, a couple of dresses, the gypsy dancer tank and the same top in blue coming from their Australia site.  Love Spell and the Gypsy this is a brand I came across a few years back when I first became addicted to wearing kimonos with all my graphic tees and ordered several kimonos from them, I then started purchasing skirt, and graphic tees and for several years a large part of my skirts and tops have come from this Australian based designer that now has a US site that was launched this summer.  I have met so many amazing ladies in the Spell groups over the years and recently love all the free spirited and gypsy loving ladies.  

Bad photo but have not had a chance to style this top yet but wanted to show it to you on, I went with the L usually a M in Spell tops unless they run small, wanted a looser off the shoulder baggy look now wish I had maybe sized up to a XL was worried it would be huge but this top runs on the shorter side, I will decide once the blue arrives and I have had time to wear it or style it if I am going to sell the L or exchange for a XL if they are still available.  

Last up wanted to share a quick pic from Saturday so you can see my hair color.  I had my makeup done by my daughter so my lips are over drawn to appear larger and then eye color is a mix of smokey and natural tones, with some contour and glow.  Necklace is from Ily Mix you can find their feed on instagram @IlyMix and that has the link to their amazing online shop.  I will put together all the links for the items above this week and add to post.

Hope everyone has a great week and weekend, I am excited since we finally have some cooler weather here and it has been in the 60-70's with no humidity.  Love this weather.  Have a great upcoming week and hope you enjoyed my gypsy inspired weekly pics!  Peace, love and light always xoxo

Gypsy Yummy Colorful Style

Gypsy Colorful Soul

My outfit of the day by Spell & the Gyspy and Pam & Gela 

Happy Wednesday, mid week and feeling so happy today. Not sure if it's just my mood since the week is flying by or if it's my beautiful outfit of the day today. Clothes make me feel so good and it's one of the many reasons I love fashion so much. An outfit can really make you feel so good, confident and ready to take on the day. It's amazing what the right clothes can do for a woman. I love helping other women find their style or look, so many women struggle with being able to express their inner creative and bring out their true vibes through their clothing. A lot of women buy whatever the latest trends are and wear whatever they see everyone else wearing but for me I like finding clothing that really expresses my inner gypsy soul, eclectic creative side and pieces that make me feel confident about myself. You don't have to be a size 1 or have an unlimited budget to dress to impress, and you should never dress to impress others you should always dress to impress you. Whatever makes you feel beautiful and confident should be what you are wearing who cares what anyone else  thinks, we are all unique and have our own style sense or opinions on how things look. I work with people who wear all high end designer fashions and they don't look confident or happy, they look uncomfortable or stuffy. Dress for you and only you. Wear what you love and don't be afraid to mix basics or graphic tees that you would normally pair with jeans, but mix them with pencil skirts, maxi skirts and maybe a blazer for a work look, or a kimono for a more bohemian feel.

Today I had to wear my new Pandora skirt and chambray top by Spell & the Gypsy. It is such a gorgeous pattern and the colors are yummy. 

I paired my skirt and chambray button down top with another designer I love, Pam & Gela. I love their clothes, especially their graphics tees. They have some amazing designs and love the little added extra bling, or embellishments they throw on the tees and tanks to make the graphic print really stand out. This ice cream cone tank had just the right colors to mix with my skirt without being to matchy.

Next up is accessorizing, for me accessories are like the icing on the cake. You make this yummy perfectly layered cake then you need to finish it off with some icing and sprinkles, I like to add lots of bling or layers of jewelry. My tassel necklace and one of my bracelets, the coconut shell and rose quartz one, are by 31ements. This amazing artisan has a shop on Etsy and has some great styles that can be mixed and matched with lots of styles.

My arm candy today is a little mix of some of my faves, from left to right, rose quartz and coconut shell bracelet by 31ements, white beaded with turquoise color stone charm by Lacey Ryan, beautiful blue and white beaded Buddha bracelet by Gypsy Haven Jewels, and then an ivory and pink tassel bracelet by Fawning in Love also on Etsy. All these shops links will be here in this post and also can be found in my favorite shops on the side bar of my blog.

Love my Pandora skirt by Spell & the gypsy. Spell Designs has some of my favorite pieces and each collection just blows me away with all the amazing patterns, graphics and designs. They have some of the most amazing fabrics and textures. This skirt has a button front with slit down the front from around the knee. It has extra fabric gathered on the sides to give that romantic bohemian look, and the chambray top has a matching floral print.

The chambray top has pearl snap buttons, and love the frayed unfinished ends of the top. Perfect for layering or for fall/winter when you need some extra warmth.

Hope you enjoyed my outfit of the day for Wednesday. I will add some links for whet to buy, just so you know this skirt and top I found pre loved, it was sold out online but it may still be available on the Spell Designs Australian site or I will check some other stores that carry the Spell collections. I know I have seen the dress on Revolve or Free People site not long ago. The Pam & Gela tee is on sale now in their huge warehouse clearance sale. Grab one quick because the sale has been going on for some time and this will sell out soon. 

Here's to a great start to the week and to the weekend which is almost here. Peace love and light to everyone. Thank you for your support, kind comments and love. Be sure to follow me on Instagram @Cr8tivewanderlust and on Twitter @Gypseawanderer. Xoxo

Tuesday Boho Chic by Spell and the Gypsies

Spell & the Gypsy Collective

Spell Designs US Site

Love when the week starts on Tuesday and we are just a day closer to Friday. Last night was amazing watching FSU win their game against Ole Miss to start off the season. Hoping this is a sign of what's to come for the remainder of the season. 

I decided to start off this rainy gloomy Tuesday feeling confident and beautiful in my Spell and the Gypsy or also known as Spell designs, Folk town mid length dress. This floral print light weight dress is so comfy, made of a light weight gorgeous floral material with tassel neck closures, and 3/4" sleeves is perfect for a day like today. I felt bright and colorful along with feeling very confident ready to take on anything that was thrown my way. 

I paired this dress with a white sports bra since it is lower cut, a cream with turquoise embellished accents, and my new Deer Head Statement necklace I won from a local Artisan Gina Black Art you can find her shop on Etsy, and also you can follow her on IG @Ginablack_art. She has some gorgeous handmade pieces, I first saw her work at a local artisan show in down town Ft. Lauderdale where I met my hubby 22 years ago, she had these amazing butterfly wing pendants that caught my daughter's eye and then we were drawn in by her decor and creations. 

My purple hair turned out exactly like I wanted, with purple vivid roots, then high and lowlights of violet and indigo Pravana that left my blonde pieces silver once the purple touched what was left. Love my multi dimensional purple and silver hair. Color is Pravana, my stylist uses Olaplex when lifting my roots, and in the dye as well as I use step 3 at home for the first two to three shampoos. I try not to wash it right away, this helps prevent fading or bleeding, I also use cold water only to rinse and sulfate free products only. I do not use shampoo I use Matrix conditioning rinse which is similar to Wen and it cleans while conditioning all in one. This prevents stripping color or the hairs natural oils. I use dry shampoo between washing and I have mixed my own conditioner using several masks and deep conditioners I like then mixing a drop or two of Pravana violet to the conditioner, this helps deposit color every washing so what ever may be stripped out when washing can be added back a little. Usually the Pravana colors last a long time but be prepared if you are considering this for dark towels, bedding and clothing for the first few weeks to a month because the color will and does rub off. 

Closer look at the beautiful statement necklace I won by they talented Gina Black Art from South Florida. This gorgeous bronze antiqued gold deer head is an awesome statement piece, especially if you love antlers, cattle skulls and deer heads as much as me. I think this piece looks beautiful with this vintage bohemian vibe floral dress. 

My Spell dress is mid length but here I have a belt on so I have it untucked for a skirt and blouse look, you can wear it without the belt or even with the belt but not billowed out like a tucked in blouse. 

Since I typed up this post my mail arrived late today and got this gorgeous Spell box and that turquoise cattle skull necklace. All eBay and Poshmark scores. 

Addicted to the Spell and the Gypsy Collective line, since they launched he US site I have purchased more items then ever then been really seeking out a few styles I loved that I missed out on. Can't wait for my Jagger skirt to arrive and obsessed with the Pandora skirt and chambray matching floral print button down top with frayed edge. It is gorgeous and have a white Spell cami with lace and tie bottom I ordered along with some other Free People and Urban Outfitter Boho chic tops to wear with this skirt when I don't wear the chambray shirt. Excited to share all my items as they arrive. 

Here's to the start of an amazing week and tomorrow already being hump day, so ready for the weekend already lol. Long weekends do that to you, plus I was home Friday for my youngest daughter's birthday so it was hard to wake up early this am. 

Peace, love and light always xoxo
