Winter Forecast

Welcome back to The Paisley Bottom! This new post is a tad overdue considering my computer recently broke and my ample amounts of school work. All photos were taken by the beautiful & talented Natalie Peterson (Natalie-rose-photo.com). The outfits are all styled and modeled by yours truly! 

In this winter forecast I will be giving an inside look at all of my favorite holiday styles. I will also be providing where to find the trendiest coats of the season.


Pants: Janis Bells Black Rosewood
Shirt: out of stock- similar
Shoes: New Frontier Boots
Necklace: Child of Wild Belle Starr Choker

Radiate witchy vibes in my all time favorite Janis Bell Bottoms by Novella Royale! They are a prime example of why I continually support the designer. Matched with a lacey high-low free people shirt; this outfit is versatile enough to be worn to a concert at the Egyptian Room, or even a holiday party at work.


Top: Free People Lace-Up Layering
Skirt: Free People Vegan Leather Mini
Shoes: New Frontier Boots
Necklace: Jacquie Aiche Braided Choker in Tan

I am totally feelin' myself in the color of the season: Burgundy! This duo is a match made in Free People heaven. These pictures were obviously taken on a warm fall day, and this outfit would look extra fabulous for winter paired with black tights and over-the-knee boots. This style will look super sassy on a hot date!


Dress: Novella Royale Joan Dress Brown Moonshine
Shoes: Free People- discontinued
Necklace: Lili Claspe Goodnight Moon Choker in Gold
Ring: Kami Lerner Amethyst 24k Gold
Ring: Lili Claspe one of a kind- similar

This is my absolute favorite new piece from Novella! It hugs my curves in all the right places, and I have received so many compliments on it. The Joan Dress comes in different patterns, and will for surely stun at Thanksgiving or a night out with friends.  


Top: For Love & Lemons Geneva Blouse Cornflower Blue
Skirt: For Love & Lemons Clover Mini Skirt Cornflower Blue 
Boots: Salina Tall Wedge Boot
Rings: Bahgsu Jewels
Earrings: Vintage Child of Wild

Okay babes, give it up for the most adorable holiday outfit this season! This two piece is a western inspired ruched dream. The boots I'm wearing are perfectly matched to the pattern on my outfit. This number will look amazing at Christmas with the family or a winter wedding!
 
 
Now, here is an exclusive look at my favorite jackets/ coats of the season. I am also providing direct links to where they are sold. Enjoy!

Summer of Love

Welcome back to The Paisley Bottom! I have been itching to show all of you the magic Natalie and I have created. We ventured to the beautiful Cataract Falls to showcase some of my favorite summer looks. All of these outfits are styled and modeled by me :) All photos were taken by super talented Natalie Peterson (Natalierosepeterson.com). Enjoy! 
TANGERINE DREAM
I was completely inspired when my favorite designer Mary Myers of Novella Royale chose to use this gorgeous shade of tangerine in her Summerland collection. Midi dresses are one of my favorite looks of the season, and I adore how this dress hugs my curves while still looking modest. Sorbet and sunflowers drift across my mind whenever I slide into this outfit. Matched with my pastel wooden clogs and I feel like a 70's dream! 
Necklaces: Lili Claspe



Festival Frenzy
Bells, bells, bells!!! A trend that has gone the distance, and is still here to stay. Babes, say hello to your new favorite festival pants! These pants are also from Novella Royale's Summerland collection. This deep Indigo Chantilly pattern is a match made in heaven with my Emperor's Crop Top by one of my new fav designers; The Jetset Diaries. Even if you're not attending a festival this season, this outfit is insanely comfortable and perfect for steamy summer nights.
Ring: HLSK


BOOGIE NIGHTS
Let's groove tonight ;) The designer of this dress -Liberated Heart- absolutely kills it! Every item I have purchased from their store has blown me away. Their patterns are even more vivid in real life and the clothes fit me like a glove! Liberated Heart is located in Australia but they offer express international shipping and I always receive packages from them in a very timely manner! And HELLO THESE GLADIATORS ARE LIFE!! Thigh High x Gladiators x Lace up Sandals= a pair of shoes that will never go out of style. The padded footbed makes them even comfier then I could have imagined. I realize this outfit may seem a little bit over the top, but if you're looking for that perfect date/ night on the town outfit that matches bold statement pieces with elegance... look no further!
Rings: Bahgsu Jewels, Free People, & New Age People

Low Carb Blueberry Almond Meal Pancakes!!


Due to medical reasons, my doctor encouraged me to go on a low carb diet while I was on antibiotics. I am now allowed to start adding excess carbs back into my meals, but this newly endured low carb diet inspired me! My sweet tooth has been encouraging me to embark on some new recipes. I discovered several almond meal pancake recipes on the internet. The following is a combination of several different recipes that I tweaked on my own. Enjoy!

Ingredients: 

Pancake batter: 
2 large eggs
1 cup almond meal
1/4 cup vanilla almond milk
2 tbsp olive oil
1 packet Sweet Leaf sweetener
1 tbsp ground cinnamon
a dash of salt
25 blueberries (5g carbs)

Optional toppings:
Roasted Pecans
Dark Chocolate covered Coconut flakes
Justin's Maple Almond Butter
1 Strawberry

(Yields about 4 6-inch pancakes)


Directions: 
1. Combine 2 large eggs, 1 cup almond meal, 1/4 cup vanilla almond milk, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon, a pinch of salt, 25 blueberries, and 1 packet of Sweet Leaf sweetener in a mixing bowl. Mix until desired texture is reached.
2. Heat stove on Med-High
3. I personally love cooking with Coconut oil, but you can use any oil to non-stick your frying pan!
4. Pour in pancake batter and cook on each side for approx. 2 minutes.
5. Once pancakes are finished, top with almond butter, pecans, dark chocolate coconut flakes and strawberries. (or whatever toppings you decide)
6. INDULGE WITHOUT REMORSE!!

Gemstoned

Spring is here and I am currently dripping in jewels! Rings are my favorite addition to any outfit, and this warm weather has me going color crazy!! I personally like to splurge on sterling silver jewelry because I know the rings will not tarnish and I love the sophisticated look that silver creates. I am also wearing a midi ring to lengthen my finger and be able to stack up tons of gemstone jewels without looking too gaudy.

 Here are my bling details from left to right:
Super 7 Sterling Silver Ring from New Age People



 I happened to perfectly match my skirt to my nails :) I am also giving you an exclusive look at my new favorite outfit of the season! I had my mom quickly take this picture for me in my backyard so please excuse the poor quality.

ECLIPSED

Welcome back to The Paisley Bottom! I am styling all of the latest and greatest bohemian chic fashion trends on myself. I know that my blog update is a little bit overdue, but I have been struggling with some health issues, and have obviously put my personal well-being before working on my blog. Trust me when I say that I have put all of my love (had to make at least one Zeppelin reference) into this blog post! Purchasing expensive & fabulous clothing while I'm still in college is difficult, but the end product is definitely worth all of the blood, sweat, and tears! Natalie Peterson is insanely talented and took these phenomenal photographs for me! You can contact her at: Natalierosepeterson.com

In this post I will be featuring some new and unique designers/clothing labels!

ECLIPSED 


I talked a little bit about Novella Royale in my last post, and obviously Mary Myers is one of my personal favorite designers! You can check out my feature about her on my first blog post How to Keep a Colorful Winter Wardrobe and you can visit her incredible website here: Novella Royale!




Necklace: Bahgsu Jewels Amethyst Stalactite Necklace

 Bahgsu Jewels was created by the beautiful Madgi Del Moro. In the above pictures I am wearing the Gold Amethyst Stalactite Necklace created by her. Madgi's jewelry is handmade and one of a kind, each piece that I have purchased from Bahgsu Jewels has been uniquely and delicately created.

"As a creator I strive to keep my designs conscious & business environmentally friendly. All materials are sourced with awareness and my ambition is to trace the path of each jewel from its natural origin." (Madgi of Bahgsu Jewels.)


Nightcap Clothing is handmade in California. I first discovered this line while shopping online at Planet Blue, and I continue to support this brand due to their use of luxurious fabrics and vibrant colors that wow me upon every purchase! Just be sure to check the sizing from Nightcap because they tend to run slightly large. I usually have my seamstress alter most of my clothes so it's not a problem for me!

 "both comfortable and sexy, Nightcap is known for its' highest quality fabrication and effortless bohemian silhouettes; the line defines femininity and elegance." (Nightcap Clothing)

Top: For Love & Lemons Guava Crop Top
Necklace: Natalie B. Jewelry Sundancer Collar Necklace

Yes, Backbite Vintage is just as badass of a shop as it sounds! Even though the hunt for the ultimate vintage fur coat is coming to an end, (thanks be to god!!!) Backbite is locked & loaded with all the vintage concert tee's, high-waisted jean shorts, and cowgirl boots a rad gal could dream of! Seriously, check them out.... a great vintage find is always like a gold mine in my eyes!
Thanks for checking out ECLIPSED on The Paisley Bottom! My next post will be featuring all of my favorite ring designers and how to properly stack em' up!
