It's fall & I'm denying it. Don't be fooled, I was super cold wearing this tank body con...but I just wanted one last hoorah before officially sporting cold weather gear.
Anyhow, check out that wild geometric pattern. Pastel is certainly not dead...yet. I love how it's mixed with black and white, an extra graphic punch. Asos is always my go-to spot for grabbing some killer on-trend sale dresses. To compliment the dress, I wore my new Cleated Sole Chelsea Boots from Missguided, light gray upper with a bright white sole. On-trend, bad-ass, sleek & simple. They certainly add an extra edge to this look.
ALSO, I have a NEW  leather harness style available, the Caged Choker Body Harness is in the shop!

I've been gushing over this Ombre Popsicle Spell Dress from UrbanOG. This bodycon midi dress would be super cute to wear for a night out as is with simple accessories...but I, of course, had to uniquely style it. I paired it with some loud patterned tights and a polka dot head scarf. These funky accessories make this dress more of a casual street style. The white and black accents also add another graphic punch to this look. Check out more outfit details below!

I could shop on Etsy all day. I not only love to see what others are creating but I love hunting for amazing vintage items as well. I thought I'd share some of my favorites I've been eyeing the past few days...vintage abstract. So colorful. So unique. I need some of these pieces in my wardrobe! Check out these seller's shops and items and let them know how fabulous they are! 1: Kaleidoo   ///  2: KFT Vintage  ///  3: Dead Girls Vintage  ///  4: Dust to Diamonds  (note: photos belong to the seller)

Had a WILDLY AWESOME time getting the lookbook shot for my fall line on Sunday. It was great to see everything come together, jewelry, outfits, location and then seeing these final shots. Lots of work has went in to the creative process for the jewelry itself AND for the direction of this shoot.
I love to create jewelry that is able to be layered and paired with one another. There are two separate necklaces styled in each photo...Wear it simple or create a killer statement necklace.
Also, I'm in the process of changing the company name so stay tuned! You can shop all these pieces on the AC Design site

I'm a sucker for patterns....and painting. Normally I would be 100% against painting over wood floors... BUT, this would be the perfect solution for my attic space. Right now it's partially carpeted (and that wasn't even done well) I was talking with my friend who worked as a contractor for awhile about how I wanted to tear up the carpet and "restore" the wood underneath (sand and stain) He told me it wasn't actual wood flooring it was just the wood baseboards and that wouldn't work out well blah blah blah. (Still don't know what that really means haha) With that being said, simply painting over it will be the most cost effective and visually appealing choice. I have to decided on design, colors and then tear out the carpet, remove the staples and clean up/prep the floor. It'll be a process but hopefully the outcome will be well worth it.

Warning: color and pattern overload. I was inspired by the top image...pattern formed by layered color. It made my head explode a little bit, in a good way of course. Naturally, I wanted more of this eye candy... so I hunted up some similar items. Below are links to the fun finds

Pattern and design LOVE! Inky Co offers on trend designer paper goods (stationery and gift wrapping). Not only do they have a well designed product offering, their simple packing and website really makes this company stand out. I'm looking forward to seeing what new collections they come out with next.
