🌴Wilde Bella meets Rock n Roll Caravan 🐪

No I won't back down...

Happy almost Friday, today I'm excited to be able to finally post photos of an outfit I have had planned out in my head since I posted the previous post back a month ago featuring this lovely Wilde Bella skirt in Earth. It's from her Ohana collection and she inspired me to style this skirt with one of my Chaser Brand Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers Rock n Roll caravan graphic tees. 

Back a couple of years ago I received some amazing tees from Chaser brand and one of them was a grey/black cut out shoulder Tom Petty tee. I was so in love with the tee I ended up purchasing the men's version of the tee in white on clearance from Nordstrom. I have worn it prior with jeans but once I saw her flat lay I had shared on my IG (deleted after pre sale) and here on my blog back in May I was excited for this skirt to arrive to see how they went together. Of course they are a match made in rock n roll heaven. I have found many graphic tees that look amazing styled with this color way. My Spell and the Gypsy green distressed Panther tee is another amazing combo.  This tee is hard to find since it is an older tee but have seen a couple people have found some since Wilde Bella and my own repost of the tee. After having many people ask me back in May then when I posted earlier on my IG I did a search and have found a couple online, including Chaser brand having the men's version like I am wearing in limited sizes, then used, or one or two new on Amazon. Try searching Chaser Tom Petty tee, I will also try to find a couple to include links below for where to shop.  You can also ask Wilde Bella since she has a v-neck version of the tee and did mention possibly selling them on her site.

I styled this look with a lovely handmade braided leather and gemstone necklace, bracelets with crystal and beaded stones from Whiskey + Bone as well as 31ements jewelry. Shoes are from Target by Mossimo and are my favorite pair of brown flats for summer. Going to wrap up this post with some of my favorite Tom Petty lyrics. Peace love and light. Remember always be yourself and don't back down. Xoxo 

 I won't back down, no I won't back down

You could stand me up at the gates of hell

But I won't back down

Gonna stand my ground, won't be turned around

And I'll keep this world from draggin' me down

Gonna stand my ground and I won't back down

Hey baby, there ain't no easy way out

Hey I will stand my ground

And I won't back down

Well I know what's right, I got just one life

In a world that keeps on pushin' me around

But I'll stand my ground and I won't back down

Hey baby there ain't no easy way out

Hey I will stand my ground

And I won't back down

No, I won't back down

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.

Weekends We Football & Silver Girlfriend jeans...

Hello and happy Labor Day weekend, this weekend is the kickoff of college football and we have season tickets this year. Looking forward to some Fun, friends, food and football of course a few beers too. 

Quickly some Friday and weekend outfits. 

Spell and the gypsy, also known as Spell Designs and Spell Byron Bay, graphic tank. This Festival Fox graphic tank is a favorite, purchased back in May/June originally purchased same tank but on a S was too small for me and then it sold out. I quickly sold it and found a M that fits me perfectly. Love the feather design on back and distressed look.  My black agate beaded bracelet is handmade by the talented and super sweet Whiskey + Bone on etsy. 

Paired it with my Silver Jeans Co, girlfriend jeans in dark wash. These are amazing if you have not seen my prior posts, love the fit so much ordered the pair I normally would have chosen first. I always go for the distressed and more worn finish but wanted a less distressed dark pair for work and other events. My jewelry is a spiked necklace and arrowhead bracelet from my Rocksbox that arrived this week. Loving this box and the first monthly subscription box I think is worth every penny. It's only $19.95 a month and you get unlimited jewelry rental all month. You customize your style with a survey, then add items you love to your wish list. They then style a box with 3 pieces and you can keep as long as you want or return after a few wears for another amazing set. You can purchase the pieces you like at a discounted price also. Both the necklace and bracelet are by Slate. I also got a cool ring by Kendra Scott. Will post a photo below of the box. Posted prior but just in case you didn't see. 

You can use my code MELISSASBFF10 for your free month trial no strings attached and you can cancel anytime. 

Promise you this box will rock your world if you love accessories as much as me. 

A favorite shop I found out about from Lacey Ryan, jewelry designer. They carried a few collections by her and we don't have them near me but order online often. Saw a friend on IG rocking these rust color perforated ankle style boots, and they were on sale couldn't pass them up. Then I love Wildfox couture sweatshirts cause they are soft, light enough for Florida fall and winter then just love the cute sayings. This sweatshirt reminded me of their style tops and love the saying for fall.  Last is the turquoise accent braided belt I purchased for my new Spell folk town mid length dress for fall. Got it on eBay for under $8. 

Ordered this cute graphic tee for the football games when my team isn't playing against UM, found this cute one on IG by @m.eandyou, M.E & YOU tees. Paired it here in my flat-lay with the lighter wash and distressed textured worn look girlfriend jeans I got after falling in love with my first pair. These are amazing and the fit is tailored to my body, accentuating very nicely they are so flattering on. Silver Jeans never disappoints me. Been my go to brand for over twenty years now and as you have seen in my posts I have pairs over 10 years old still looking like new, and I own many many pairs. Can't own enough pairs of amazing fit and style jeans. If you have never tried Silver jeans I recommend you try on a pair next time you are shopping you will be hooked. 

Yes, weekend graphic muscle tank by Love Culture. This tank is a few years old but still rock it when the weekend rolls around, one can never have too many Friday or weekend graphic tops. I know I love Friday and the weekend. Of course converse go with everything and perfect for a football game and tailgating. Today was my babies 9th birthday and we had an amazing day. Like mama she went shopping after opening her gifts, she got games, both board games and video games, books, and toys but we went shopping she wanted clothes. She had her own style I allow her to pick out and try on whatever catches her attention. For her age she is amazing at styling her own looks. She got some amazing combat style black boots with some fringe on the front below the laces, corduroy rust skirt overalls, some total boho chic rompers, dresses, skirts and tops. She really has amazing style, she also used my $40 Kohl's cash to get the same a Cattle Skull pullover sweatshirt and Aztec style bell bottom leggings I got before my birthday, she got an adult XS and my mother in law is hemming them since they were a little too long. We will be twinning this fall for sure. Wish I could find myself a pair of boots just like hers, they are from Old Navy were under $20 with the sale for Labor Day weekend. She spent $90 at Old Navy and walked away with boots, a few dresses, romper, two skirts, shorts, and a few tops. Tomorrow she is going shopping with grandma after her football game she cheers at to spend her cash. 

Hope everyone has an amazing weekend and here's to football season beginning. We have college game tomorrow and then Sunday our fantasy football draft. Can't wait to see what my team is like this year. Peace, love and light always XoXo 💋
