You Have Power

“You have a power that has nothing to do with what you do

or what you say

or who you know or what you know

or where you are or what you look like or your skills

or your talents

or what you have.

It is the power of your presence.

It is the heat and light from your burning log.

And it touches everyone who comes in contact with you….

For this festival outfit, I wanted to stick to Free People's products, because they embody what festivals are all about, which is having a carefree time in comfortable and stylish clothes. When I think of festivals and what I would wear, I think of color. Lots of color. I often wear grays and blacks because that is what I'm drawn to when I'm shopping, so I want to stray from that and give off that sunny Summer day vibe. 

The first item I picked was this gorgeous lightly tie dyed tank dress, which features a slightly asymmetrical hemline. It's a great base piece and because the colors are faint, a lot can be paired with it.  Next I picked this leather hip belt which I saw at the store the other day. It's made from really soft but durable leather. I was inspired by a look that I saw Chloe Chippendale from Sugarhigh + Lovestoned wear a while back. She paired a short black dress with a hip belt, and I thought it was genius.

From here, I picked the under garments. I love these lace bike shorts because they add a little bit of detail to the legs as well as being functional when the wind blows. I also chose this periwinkle lace bralette again for the detail, but also for the color and comfort. Next I chose these really modern looking hot pink sandals! They look like they'd be super comfy and add a nice unexpected pop of color. Lastly, I chose the Indian Bell bracelets to give the outfit a bit of interest. I feel like every time I look at these bracelets, I discover something new about them.

I feel that this outfit is fully functional and comfortable without sacrificing style and purpose! Would you wear it? Share your thoughts below. :)

Designer Jewelry For Less

I always get really upset for the designer's sake when I see a knock-off of one of their products sold on another site. I know I would be really ticked if I saw my own design was altered a little bit and resold for cheap. Recently, Forever21 has been guilty of selling knock-offs of designs from jewelry designers like Lila Rice, Vega Jewelry, and Fendi. I think that it's really wrong and dishonest. 

Where do you stand on the issue? Fair game, or outrage-worthy? 

The Original

Lila Rice, Battle Necklace, $316.

The Copy

Forever21, Cutout Arrowhead Necklace, $4.80.

The Original

Vega Jewelry, Crystal Cuff, $225.

The Copy

Forever21, Faux Crystal Ring, $5.80.

The Original

Fendi, Metal Cutout Cuff, $155 (sale).

The Copy

Forever21, Cutout Geo Cuff, $8.80.
