THREADS - EMERALD & BLUE

I think I could say at the beginning of every fall outfit post, that I LOVE fall fashion!  This was such a simple outfit, but the colors made it so fun.  These blue velvet skinnies from Threadsence are still some of my all time favorite pants.  And I'm so thrilled I finally have some of boots that fit over my jeans!  These suede boots from Blowfish are some of my new favorites.  They are just the perfect everything, and so so comfy!  I love how they equally compliment pants or a dress/skirt.  This top from F21 is the only emerald piece of clothing I have.  I quite love the color.  It's a very stretchy cozy sweater like material.  My trio of braided leather bracelets are from Flourish Leather.  She has an amazing assortment of colors, and they are so fun to mix and match with different outfits.  (Her shop is closed right now since they just had a new baby!!  Congrats Danielle!)  The necklace is a custom one I made for a mother of four.  I love how it turned out.  She wanted something that gave her a 'warrior' feel and that represented her four children.  I love it so much, I think I'm going to introduce a similar style to the shop!  Oh, and this amazing picnic table... my daddy made it, and painted it rainbow color.  Its fading, but I love it all the more. 

In other news, those of you who follow me on facebook might have seen some changes going on over there.  When I started on facebook, I used my personal account as my business account as well.  It has grown so big, I have found facebook to not be a fun place for me anymore.  So many status updates of people I don't know or connect with, and so much negativity.  I'm finding this is a place I'd like to ween myself from, in many ways.  I have decided to delete most of the people from my personal page, and just keep family and friends I truly connect with.  I'm encouraging everyone to please follow my fanpages, Roots and Feathers & The Bohemian Collective instead.  I'm going to be more active over in those spaces from now on, with more visual updates on what is going on.  I have already deleted a few hundred from my personal page, with a few more to go.  This has been such a push and pull thing to do.  I feel so bad, and hate to dismiss anyone, but its something I just need to do for myself.  But I don't want anyone to miss out on anything, or feel a disconnect with what I'm doing creatively.  So in a way, Im just switching gears with how I operate my business on facebook.  So please follow me over on my fanpages for updates from now on.  Thank you :)

Blue Velvet + Chevron Stripes >>>

The day before yesterday was an elaborately set up plan to get our friend Jonny into a music store to pick out a guitar.  We have been planning this for a long long time.  James really feels like he owes it to him for getting him back into his passions of playing guitar more, so this was his way of thanking him.  So we, and Jonny's sister and friend all went in together to make this dream come true.  We told him we were taking him out for pizza and had a few errands to run, including picking up some strings at the guitar store.  The traffic was so crazy b/c of christmas, it ended up being an alllll day affair, but so worth it!  He went home with a lovely acoustic bass guitar!  We LOVE you Jonny!  I cant wait for the boys to jam in James new band room!!!

And you know me, all crazy about my threads, I got to wear my blue velvet pants from Threadsence!  So in love.  I used to have a pair of blue velvet bell bottoms in high school but they got trashed, so these are like part nostalgic for me, but in a more modern cut.  And... I totally forgot that you can fold your Blowfish boots down!!!  So I wore them as tennies.  My favorite Skyline Fever tank paired with a chevron striped tunic from Ross.  And as always topped off with my Moorea Seal and Flourish bracelets.


Today I baked about 6 dozen cookies, and prepped for more tomorrow.  I also built my first fire by myself and kept it going almost all day long.  Tomorrow will be equally filled with baking and visiting with James family.  Is tomorrow really christmas eve?  My vacation is officially half over and I have a feeling its going to go by fast with so much going on...

PEACE,
Laura
