Sunshine & Leather - an outfit post

I don't have much to say today.  It's just been work around here.  Im super excited to have some great new sponsors up on the blog!  Including my best friends shop, its such an honor to have her on here.  So, yesterday we had some errand running to do and this is what I wore...

yellow dress (had it forever), vest, belt & sandals (forever 21), earrings (rootsandfeathers)

Oh, and I listed two new feather bottle necklaces in my Roots and Feathers shop today.  These ones have my own little birdies feathers in them.  Soooo precious! 

See my last post for an awesome giveaway!

Birthday Outfit + Extras...

Thank you so much for all of the birthday wishes yesterday.  Between the blog, my twitter & facebook, I was truly overwhelmed with love from everyone!  Im now officially in my last year of being 20-something.  Guess it's time to grow up, huh?  I say not.  It was a pretty uneventful day, except for my boy making me french toast in the morning, and ending the day with more lovely time with him.  Today we will celebrate with a few of our dearest friends in a very homy calm way, with a home cooked meal and a movie.  We decided not to have alot of people over for a bbq like usual b/c of Violet, we need to keep things calm for her.  And I didnt want to go out b/c I didnt want to leave her at home long without us.  Which is fine with me, I love having more intimate times with friends anyway.  

Yesterday I wore my favorite pair of homeade jeans, one of my new tops, sandals & knuckle ring from James, and some Roots and Feathers jewelry, along with my leather braided bracelet from Flourish.  I have two more colors on their way, and this one is next on my wishlist.

Here are a bunch of random phone shots from throughout the day.  I re-painted my toenails and fingernails.  Bella and Violet hung out with us while we ate french toast and strawberries.  James hung up his posters in the garage next to his screen printing station.  Eventually we are going to fix the whole room up for him, including a couch!  Cant wait.  We went to the video store to rent a few movies, so we shall have a few couch dates this week.  Are we the only ones who still go to the video store???

Thank you again for your love.

PEACE,

Mini Date Night...

Last night James and I had a mini date to our local wine bar.  We mostly went b/c our friend works there, although he was too busy to really talk.  It was still really nice to not have to cook dinner and to have an excuse to dress up (and wear my new wedges).  I think this could possibly be my favorite outfit ever.  Soooo me.  And yes, I wore the Doors tshirt, again!   I finally just put it in the wash this morning!  And I still cant get enough of this navajo printed skirt that I thrifted a while back, and of course my belt from Ruche that I wear with everything!  Im considering getting it in plum too b/c I love it so much.  For everyone that commented on my shoes in the last post, I found them on ebay.  I seriously watched them for over 2 months before I went ahead and just got them.  So glad I did!  ...and how adorable does James look in his Skyline Fever owl shirt and plaid button up?  CUTE!!!

We got grilled panini sandwiches, James got his coke & I got a peachy drink, and we shared cheesecake!  Jonny added the little caramel stars for us and I thought it was so cute.  Oh, and the colorful pic of the car window was in the car wash!  I love it when they spray the multi-colored stuff on, so fun!

This has been a good week.  Im happy to have gotten so much done, and had some lovely times with my boy.  For those of you who do not know, the launch for my new line Roots and Feathers is going to be on June 14th, which is my mothers birthday.  Just another way to honor her.  It was James idea, and as soon as he said it, it made my heart so happy.  As much as I am missing her right now, it will be nice to be debuting a part of my creative soul in her honor that day.  This new line really does feel like my roots are coming out.  My true self as a jewelry artist.  I love all of my Violet Bella stuff, but this just feels even more true to myself than before.  Im loving it.  Even if it is not a success, I dont mind, b/c it is purely for my soul's creating.  Its almost like discovering yourself all over again as an artist, and a bit personally too.  So, in 3 more days, let's all celebrate my mother together through this.  She is the one who gave me the 'roots' that i have, and the 'feathers' to fly.  no doubt.

p.s. i love you mom. 

PEACE,

Skyline Fever Butterflies...

Just a quick little outfit post to show one of my favorite Skyline Fever shirts ever...  Sorry girls, its the only one like it.  But I love this style, so if we can afford it later, we may bring it to the shop!  I love its open drapey back.  I paired with jeans, a sheer floral ruffled top and a vintage crochet shawl, which I am planning on making myself something pretty out of.

Today I worked worked worked on Ruche order's and blog design.  Im getting so excited to launch my new blog look on the first!  Its soooo me....

Time for a goodnight sleep.  You know its bad when the first thing that crosses your mind when you wake up in the middle of the night or in the morning is 'scorpion'.  I really dont want to spot another on in my house!  Im so creepy crawlied out!  Tonite James found a grasshopper the size of a walking stick, no joke!  It was insane!

PEACE,
