PATTERN ON PATTERN

Some days you just need more color. Some days you wear things to reflect how you feel, and some days you wear things to reflect how you WANT to feel. I love how clothing can have the ability to change our moods. I truly believe this. I know self expression through clothing is not for everyone… some people are perfectly content with throwing on a pair of sweats + a tee + feeling all kinds of good about themselves in that. I’m not one of them. I wear my fair share of sweats + tees, but when I put on an outfit that feels like it expresses me in some way, it just shifts something. It’s just another extension of creating art in the world we live in.

TAKE IT EASY // OM & KANTHA

Popping in to share a few different ways to style the Take It Easy lounge set from OM Collection with some of my favorite Kantha Bae pieces. I love finding some really good quality basics that can be worn several different ways. A few months ago I had the gift of getting to try on a bunch of OM Collection pieces when my friend Chelsea visited + I have fallen in love even deeper with this mama owned shop. Not only are they sustainable, but so freakin’ comfortable + versatile. I actually didn’t think I would like the tight cropped top b/c I normally do not wear tight tops, but it has been one of the best layering pieces I have in my closet! I have found myself wearing it way more than expected.

PAREO PARADE

Pareo Parade

Kantha Bae is having a Pareo Parade today, where you can snag two pareos for $80 with code PAREOPARADE! These babies are so multi functional. You can use them as picnic blankets, to lay out in the sun and read a book on, as window curtains (I’m snagging two for this very reason), as tablecloths, baby swaddles, swimsuit sarongs, shawl, light blanket to take to a game or outdoor event, to use on living room forts with your kiddos, there are a few ways to tie them into shirts or skirts even. So many ways to use these beautiful vintage fabrics. And they all have different prints on each side, so it’s like having two in one! They are truly so so beautiful. So of course I had to prance around in my back yard after laying out the other day.

They launch at 10am CST this morning, and these babies sell out quickly, so be prepared!

WILD BOHEME

I am a Wild + Boheme Heart

Made of Stardust + Eternity

Fueled by Plant Magic + Moonlight

Creating Sisterhood + Connection

Adorned with Kantha + Frankincense

Abundant in Crystals + Love

We just printed a fresh batch of our Wild Boheme tees, and since I did this photoshoot last week, it felt like the perfect time to share a Skyline Fever outfit post. Our slouchy tees are hands down my favorite in the whole shop. They are so very soft + cozy + easy to wear. I sleep in one almost every night, where them around the house as pj’s, and of course where them styled in various ways throughout my days. I love that you can wear them off the shoulder, but you don’t have to. You can tie them in a front, back or side knot, They are super cute with a Tan France french tuck like I have it styled here. They are slouchy enough to lay over your favorite thermal in the winter, and soft + light enough in the summer with your favorite cut offs. Need I go on?

I styled it here with some yummy distressed boyfriend jeans + strappy sandels I found on Thred Up. Have you shopped there yet? If not, you are missing out. It’s an online second hand shop where you can find tons of name brand items with majorly slashed prices. I’d say 80% of my wardrobe come from there that is not handmade. I have found almost all of my Free People there for next to nothing compared to their original prices. If you don’t mind the thrill of the hunt, it’s amazing! If you haven’t made a purchase from them yet, I have a link where you can get $10 off your first purchase! SHOP HERE

This beautiful hat was a recent find at World Market + I tied one of my favorite Kantha Bae headwraps on it to fancy it up a bit! She just restocked headwraps, so there are bunch of beautiful ones available right now!

Ever wonder how I take pics of myself with my dslr? I just use a tripod and hand held remote clicker. You can spy it one of these photos, ha ha! I usually just try to be creative with hiding one of my hands…
