Leather & Litas

Outfit Details
Lace Top- Guess
Leather Skirt- Vintage
Booties- JC Litas
Bicycle Necklace- Fringe & Lace -This is my good friend Aubree's traveling boutique!


So if you're wondering, yes, yes I did take this skirt off directly after taking these photos. With temperatures nearing 100 everyday for at least the past week, I've pretty much been either living indoors or in shorts and little dresses. I've been dreaming of putting this outfit together, though, since I got my Litas back in May and found this amazing leather skirt at Goodwill!

I plan on wearing it out one night or to a show when it cools down!

I've spent the last few days sewing like a crazy person (procrastination to blame) to have a mini summer collection of sorts ready for Local Honey's summer shopping event on Saturday. I can't wait to show you what I've created this time: seersucker and marbled fabric bloomers, reconstructed vintage onesies, and several new sailor tops!



And I realized that you all have not seen my orange hair. I've been kind of having a Hair-ADD year if you can't tell. (Green to red, to dark red, to orange...) Next I'm thinking pink! :)

The Stars Get Me

This was my horoscope today:

You should in no way feel guilty for spending money to look your best. When you feel good about your image, you'll make a lasting impression. Clothing and accessories are an investment in your future!

As if I needed any more encouragement...

Love, Simone S/S Lookbook: Behind the Scenes!

So while I am still narrowing down the shots I would like to use in my S/S lookbook, I wanted to share with you all some of the behind the scenes shots from the day of the photoshoot. These are all at my house, which we used to stage multiple scenes (including my living room and parents' fireplace, and the entryway!).

A few weeks ago I went out to lunch and thrifting in East Nashville with the lovely Carmen of Closet Case Vintage!
It was a perfect Friday afternoon full of my favorite things- Mexican food, vintage shoes, and sunshine!

PS Please notice how awkward I am in front of someone else's camera! :)

PPS I just received the edited photos from my Lookbook shoot and will be posting them by the weekend!

Love Simone Spring/Summer Lookbook Sneak Peak!

On Friday I did my first real shoot for Love Simone with the darling local photographer Kristin Sweeting! We had so much playing dress up and staging an outdoor tea party with hanging teacups, doily lanterns, and mason jars filled with roses! I think we created the most beautiful wonderland and was sad to have to take it all down once it got dark. I can't wait to show you all the completed lookbook in a few weeks. After that I will be listing the entire collection on Etsy!

Love Simone Update: Local Honey Re-Stock

Here's what I've been working on for the past few weeks! Lots of reconstructed slips and bed jackets have hit Local Honey, as well as some ADORABLE bloomers. I'm kind of obsessed with them.....dreaming of different ways to wear them (pajamas, to the beach as a cute cover up, a picnic in the park...endless, right?!). The pink linen ones are made from a vintage tablecloth and the floral ones were made from fabric that I cut off of an ugly floor length dress! There's just something kind of exhilarating about cutting up something old and drab and making it into something entirely new.

I've decided to finally revamp my Etsy store and put up some of my summer bloomers and other reconstructed items since currently I only sell in Nashville! So be on the lookout for it :)

So I know I told you all that I dyed my hair green at the end of March, however as you can see I have been swept up in a wig craze! I received this lovely in the mail last week after ordering it from a site online. I'm so in love with it - the cut, the dusty rose color, and especially being able to throw it on before work in the morning when I don't feel like messing with my hair! However, if you are all still wondering what my real hair looks like at the moment, Carmen from Closet Case Vintage took some great behind the scenes photos at fashion week that I show up in!

Anyway, Naked Without Us is just ONE week away, and I still have so much to do. I hate being such a procrastinator...I know that all next week I will be pulling my hair out trying to get everything done! I can't wait to show you all what I end up with, though :)

Happy Friday Lovelies!

Naked Without Us Preview
