Today has been less than stellar.  You know those days... with hormones flying around, bad tempers, trying not to let someone bring you down with them, but can't figure out how not too... we all have them.  And today I'm in the thick of it.

So... I thought I'd share about a day that was really nice a week or so ago.  We randomly decided to stop by our town's river for a picnic when we went for one of our post office runs.  The weather has been so amazing out lately.  I hope we take advantage of many more moments like this before it becomes blistering hot here in Texas.  Violet loved it too of course. 

I'm pretty obsessed with my Willie tee from Imogene + Willie.  So glad I snagged one when I did since they were limited edition and no longer available!  I'm also happy as clam in these slouchy pants from Gypsan.  Anyone know where that saying comes from?  Happy as clam? 

And guys... my next magazine release is just 3 days away!!!  May 1st!  Eeeekkkkk!!!!  Stay tuned!

outfit details:  kimono - gypsan // shirt - obey via lulu's // shorts - ae // hat - whisler civilian // booties - minnetonka // rings - little hobo bird + cultivated dreams + mountainside designs + soliloquy jewelry


I had so much fun shooting this outfit in my new little outdoor space.  This is the beginning of my outdoor hillbilly spa.  I'm so excited to soak in this tub in the heat of the summer with a cold beer.  Ahhhh yes!!!  I have plans to add alot more to this space overtime.  But this is a good start for now!

So, when I put this kimono on, seriously all I want to do is twirl!  It has such a fun feel to it and flows so amazingly, that you literally just want to twirl when you put it on!  Ha ha.  I have to say this kimono already holds a special place in my heart b/c the first night I wore it when it arrived, James and I had a scrabble date that ended up sucking, and I talked him into dancing with me instead over Ray LaMontagne and whiskey.  Probably one of my favorite marriage moments in the past 7+ years.

This hat.  This is the first hat Ive ever owned that is hand-tailored to fit!  I have a very small head, so most of my hats don't fit me properly... or at all really.  I found this nifty hat tape that you can put on the inside of your hat bands to make them fit better, so now all of my hats have it, except this one!  Whisler Civilian hand crafts each hat and they have a wide range of sizes to choose from.  I got the XS and it fits!  I could actually probably have an XXS if it was offered, but this one is a nice fit.  This style is the Cumberland, in Walnut.  I can't wait to style this baby up in an editorial for the spring Bohemian Collective Magazine

Speaking of magazine... I'm full on in mag mode right now.  The days are going by quickly and I have so much to do to make this baby come to life in time!  Maybe Ill do a post soon all about it!  I tossed and turned until around 3 am last night thinking about all the details, so I guess you could say I'm starting to feel a bit overwhelmed.  Just reminding myself to take one step at a time.  At some point I have to figure out when I'm going to do my taxes too!  Eeek!  (deep breath)  It will all get done in perfect timing...
