Starring: Tie Dye

I've probably spent the past 20 years trying to figure out my style.  The problem is that I like all kinds of styles - rock n' roll, preppy, bohemian, sporty, girly, you name it.  My closet is just one big mix of styles, and yes I try my darndest to mash them together whenever possible.  If I could harness the perfect boho-rock-sporty girly gal, then life will be almost complete.

I give you now what I think is my second ode to tie dye.  Tie dye is one of those things I've loved forever and will love always.  It makes an appearance in all style types, so it will be a wardrobe must for my perfect style self.

Ok.. I know the rug is rainbow, the chair is splatter, AND the pillow is dip dyed, but they are such close relatives of tie dye! =)

If I lived here..

If I lived here, I'd be a designer of home goods and accessories in Venice beach Cali.  A more vintage style of Kelly Wearstler perhaps! My boyfriend would be the carpenter who I met while working on some of my custom designs for a celebrity and now works all of my projects with me.  He'd be scruffy and manly, but still a little nerdy with a fun sense of style.  When we aren't working, we are trying out all the fun and new restaurants, bike riding on the beach, lounging at coffee houses, dancing at world wide music festivals, sipping beer at micro breweries, and playing with our 2 dogs at the park.  I'd spend a lot of time traveling to France and Italy scavenging for unique finds and inspirations, thus becoming fluent in French naturally.  My style would be playful and feminine with a little edge.  I'd stock color and prints galore to make up for my neutral home.  

This would be such an energetic life full of fun and hard work. I'll take it!

I am Vegas bound this weekend, and when always packing for Vegas, I get stumped.  Do I dress all "Vegassy" or do I dress like me?  That question got me searching the web to find a way to be both flashy Vegas and funky me.  Here's what I wish I could pack for the crazy weekend ahead!
