~Abstract Style!~
9:28 AMCapitol de Beaute Blog by Melanie Woodroffe
Using prints does not need to be so confusing!
When thinking about the use of abstract & animal print, one must think 'style simplicity!'
A splash or two of bold color, a print or two in the same color family, and of course, texture! Ta da!
Style that is unique & fun, yet subtle, and oh, so easy to achieve!
See Below!

~Botanical Blooms by Bonen Bonnets!~
8:58 AMCapitol de Beaute Blog by Melanie Woodroffe
Known for making some of the most yummiest accessories, Bonen Bonnets has created the "Bloom" series for Spring 2012.
Lovely, blossomed, wearable art that can actually be worn several different ways! So a brooch can also be a hair clip. A necklace, a hair band.
Bonen Bonnets also makes hats! Bonnets perfect for the Kentucky Derby or Steeplechase! Gorgeous pieces for a Bridal party, too!
and the best thing is, no two are alike! Original & beautiful, just like you!

So airy! So pretty! AND oh so beautifully comfortable!
'Ballooned' clothes are HOT for Spring & Summer 2012!
Choose pieces that fit your style & body type, and don't wear them all at once!
See suggestions below!!
Well, you get the idea! So cute, right?!
This!

'Ballooned' clothes are HOT for Spring & Summer 2012!
Choose pieces that fit your style & body type, and don't wear them all at once!
See suggestions below!!
- A ballooned sleeve blouse, like the DVF coral one on the right, looks great with a skinny jean!
- The patterned "bloomers" by D&G go well with peplum top in a neutral color.
- Wearing a balloon dress? Keep accessories light, and the shoes minimalist!

{Jennifer!}
Yesterday was thrift store excursion day!
First stop! AZ Thrift Store on Veterans Memorial Highway in Historic Mableton, GA, which is about a 25 minute drive from West Midtown Atlanta.
Jennifer, who works at AZ is the inspiration behind my post today!
She loves fashion & ALWAYS looks great! {Jennifer, shown above!}
She and I started talking about 80s & 90s fashions & the resurgence of this particular style right now.
Bright colors, mesh, color-blocking, mixed textures, all derivatives of the 80s & 90s!
So I decided to look for shoes from that time frame! Guess what?! I hit a gold mine! Which was like, totally awesome!
Okay, I couldn't help myself! Moving right along!
See below!
J Renee multi-colored Snakeskin peep toe!
Bright Blue Candies peep toe!
These Palter Debs are actually from the 60s & alligator!
However, fabulous, I had to show you!
I used to be totally against white pumps,
but if these Proxy shoes were my size, they would be mine!!
Love the gathering at the toe!
Color-blocked patent sling backs are by Style & Co.,
not vintage, but CUTE & inexpensive!
Yes, a wing-tip spectator oxford!
Oxfords are so hot right now!

All of shoes shown above are under $16 each!
