Ahndea May: River Island

It is safe to say, I am slightly crushing on all things aztec right now! I remember growing up my mom had a southwest vibe in our home with cactus and pastel prints and clay pottery. I can even remember her doting some fringe and maybe a poncho or two. Every designer is jumping on this trend and here are some awesome picks for you to add some aztec to your closet! I am really digging that MSGM neon top... so different. What's catching your eye?

I also having been dreaming of somewhere warm, as the weather here has been so glum and cold!!! I am looking out my window at a wet deck, drizzling rain and 55 degree weather! For 5 min (when I am not being asked a question or chasing the twins) I envisioned myself in a spanish home with an airy open patio and cactus and a warm breeze. I envisioned it like this board I made below. You can follow and pin all of my decor and style boards on pinterest

This weekend I was styling a friend for a wedding with these requirements. "Can't buy anything new!" Of course we all get that and what that really means is we just have to be a little more creative. I had her grab any black dresses in her closet, black tights and a solid black heel or bootie. Keeping with one color, is seamless, looks expensive and allows you to bring focus to other areas with a necklace, lips or scarf. And it's a pretty good bet we all have at least 1 black dress, a pair of tights and a black pump.

Everything on this style board is under $50 so if you need to get a black dress, here are some great suggestions. You could also throw on a black shawl with this brooch as a statement piece! Heirbloom is launching it's winter collection on "Black Friday" this year, with new fab accessories.
