Journey of a Dress

Published by

{Tj Maxx  crop Top, Windsor Leather Jacket, Peter Pilotto for Target skirt, Olsenboye Strappy heels, Ray ban glasses, Vintage purse, Mar Jacobs watch} The Journey of a designer specially Diane Von Fursteberg Story is one to really look out for.  She was able to work with the times and give woman freedom with the rap dress.  Specially during the 70’s when woman were fighting for equal rights.  Her wrap dress itself gave women the freedom to wear what they desired and it was accessible, while still being fashion forward.  Having the opportunity to witness all these dresses was something eye opening. I wanted to wear an outfit that went with the patterns Miss Furstenberg has created over the years and my skirt was a perfect representation of those dress. I hope you all enjoy your weekend, xoxo Charms of Penny

I say this because, I fell in love with this skirt the moment I set my eyes on it.  Best part of this skirt is that they’re are so many endless possibilities of how to wear it.  This will be my bing bang to start of the week.  Happy Monday everyone and enjoying the beautiful weather.

The magic of Disney filled my weekend.  This is a place where everyone’s inner child comes out and I am no exception of this expression.  Just thinking about this past weekend and the amount of sugar I consumed gets me hyper all over again. How is that a grown woman still gets excited to see Minnie Mouse? I should not even be questioning this because the magic of Disney never leaves anybody’s soul. Thank you so much for stopping by and remember,  make sure to leave a lovely comment XOXO, Charms of Penny To go with the theme of Disney and fairy tales I wore: {Tj Maxx sunflower skirt, Ay Que Vintage! ( small shop in Long Beach) shirt, Forever 21 sunnies and sandals, and the Minnie Mouse trademark Ears}      

Romanticism in The Getty

Forever 21 dress/ Vintage sunglasses and earrings/Urban Outfitters bag/Zigi Girl sandals A challenge that I face in these new transition of my life is finding inspirations from the simplest pose to one of the most important things: locations.  I remembered that when I was younger I enjoyed going to different art museums  and witnessing with my own eyes the beautiful art pieces that famous painters had left behind as a memory of who they were and what they contributed to their life. My outfit was inspiration to a mix from the 70s and a greek goddess.  I knew that the location that I was heading to this weekend had gorgeous garden. My dress was a representation of one of my favorite parts of The Getty Museum, so i tried my best to find in my closet a dress that matched the garden.  I don’t know what it was about this weekend, maybe it was the weather or the time change, but the beauty of this location was picture perfect.

Oscars Night

Fashions night out, is the time of the year that I look forward to.  This event has turned into a tradition for both my boyfriend and I.  I love sitting at home with my comfy clothes and watching all the beautiful dresses that the actresses will be wearing that evening.  I thought I would show you a couple of things my boyfriend and I created just to make that night a bit more glamorous for us. Nachos is an appetizer that my boyfriend had been craving for weeks.  I took this night as an opportunity to make these cheesy food. To make the Nachos: Refried beans Grilled Chicken Grilled Bell Peppers with Onions Nacho Cheese Reduced fat tortilla chips For dessert delicious peach flavored Stella Rosa and Girl Scout cookies.  Just to make it a little bit more cute we added cut lemons and strawberries.  This ended the night with a bang!

Waiting on a Fairy Tale

(Urban Outfitter Dress, Marc Jacobs oxfords, Vintage Straw Hat, Ray Ban Sunnies) The Huntington Library is the place in Los Angeles that is constant reminder that someday I have to travel.  It is a place where it has a combination of Royalty, all things precious, and beautiful Asian gardens.  Just to compliment the look I wore a more vintage look it consisted of a polkadot dress ( my favorite pattern) my penny shoes and straw hat.  Its funny to think that this look came together in a matter of 5 minutes. Its funny, but those are the best looks.       

Blue Suede Shoes

(Forever21 sunglasses, Levis Black Jeggings, Thrift Store Shirt, and H&M Heels) Rain is coming to California, yet I’m still reminiscing on the beautiful sun light that I witness this past weekend. I spent the weekend in Pasadena baby sitting my cousins cute pups. I took the opportunity to take a walk around town. I don’t know if you’ve ever experienced this, but there is some items in my closet that even though they are so fashion forward and vintage, I can’t seem to think I can pull it off. The red shirt is a perfect example of what I am talking about. I bought this shirt at my local thrift store and it was a complete steal. Even as I am typing this I am slowly growing fond of it. My Levis specially this black jeggings remind me of “Bad” Sandy from Grease and just like her, I feel like a bad ass with them on. Ending the day at my favorite candy store added to my rebellion
