Dress: Stix and Roses | Bracelets: Mantra Band | Necklace: Meeka Meditation Nearly Nude Now As women, I think we all like to feel sensual and confident in the clothes we wear. Nothing accomplishes this feeling better than the nude trend. Nude pumps on a bare leg are about as sexy as it gets, and I love a putting a client in overall nudes to complement her color and shape. A client once came to me expressing her desire to wear sexy nudes, but confessed that she really did not care for that color tone on her skin. Like many would-be problems, that got me thinking.

Dress: White Rainbow Project | Bracelet: Mantra Band | Reading: Grocery Gardening (Jean Ann Van Krevelen) Simply Luxurious Living Without a doubt, there is a certain enjoyment we can gain from luxurious material goods and items of status. Societally speaking, we can attest to our human desire for these things just by looking at the financial explosions of the luxury industry worldwide.

The beauty of a Stix and Roses dress is that each piece allows the wearer to make the dress their own, perhaps modifying the hem...
Dress: Stix and Roses | Flower Crowns: Bannditz | Bracelet: Mantra Band | Sunglasses: Nordstrom | Mandala Tapestry: Etsy Full Swing Festival The combination of seeing Fall Out Boy and Taylor Swift a week ago and Lollapalooza coming up soon got me thinking—festival fashion is so fun! Loose fabrics, funky patterns, and a free spirit look positively carefree when worn to a summer festival. This got me thinking about one of our vintage Stix and Roses silhouettes. A few years ago, I created a tunic-style short dress perfect for a day laid out on a blanket, drinking Rosé and listening to my favorite music.

Top: Stix and Roses | Sweatshirt: Stix and Roses | Leggings: Stix and Roses | Bracelet: Mantra Band Now and Zen I find it so interesting that we look forward to summer all year long for rest and relaxation, yet so few of us are able to find any at all! Between the obligations we all have and the increased activities of summer, I find summer to be the least grounding of the four seasons. For me, yoga changes that.
