Threads - Crochet + Fringe + Feathers >>>

June 7, 2012 Laura Mazurek

Yesterday I had a sweet treat from my hubby. He called me before he came home and said, go put on something cute, Id like to take your picture for you today!!! I was like, whaaaaaat????? I was already wearing this, so I didnt have to change! We drove around town and found a nice little nature trail. Always fun to still discover spots in a town you've lived in all your life.

I also experimented with my hair a bit yesterday. I saw a fun tutorial online somewhere the other day about making beach waves by twisting your hair up in knots after you get out of the shower and just letting it air dry. It worked! I sprayed just a little bit of hairspray on the curls before I unpinned them and it lasted the rest of the day. Such an easy thing to do, if you have several hours before you are going out. My bangs are getting to the point where I either need to cut them again or let them grow out. Im leaning towards growing them out again. I love both styles so much, its always hard to decide.

Oh, and the single feather earring was made for my shop, but I decided to keep it... Sorry! But I love it so, Ill make some more. Same for the feather tassel belt. The necklace is in the shop though.

PEACE,

Threads - Inspired by a Messy Braid >>>

June 4, 2012 Laura Mazurek

This morning as I was drinking my coffee and checking in on a few daily reads, I spotted Kinsey's beautiful locks in a messy braid on A Beautiful Mess. I instantly felt myself wanting to get ready for the day, it was so beautiful. I didnt think my hair was long enough to pull it off, after the teasing, but it was! Pretty much my new favorite hair-do, so thank you girls! It made feel a little girly, so I picked out an easy flowing sweet outfit to accessorize my hair. Yes, today, my clothes accessorized my hair, b/c that is where it all began. You might remember this shirt I made when I wore it here. And the skirt is really a long maxi skirt that I pulled up like a tube dress under the shirt. I think it was the perfect length to show off some cute wedges from Blowfish.

*after I took the pics, I called my boy out to take some... yep, he's a cutie*

Tonite I am doing a 30 before 31 list. Ive never done one of these before, so this should be interesting! I hope it keeps me inspired throughout this next year to stay creative in personal ways. Im also going to create my own 30 day challenges for each month of my 30th year. Ill pick a different something I want to try and do it for the entire month it is chosen for! So far I have 8 out of 12 things on my list. Knowing me, it will be quite a challenge, so Im a bit nervous, but excited!

PEACE,

Laura

Yesterday was an exciting mail day! I received this uh-mazing necklace from Moorea Seal. She calls it the Trinity of Heart necklace. Im so smitten. And this adorable sheer top I snagged during Threadsence's memorial day sale! My little heart was so in love, I immediately styled them up! This dress tube dress and Blowfish shoes have just been waiting for the perfect components. Ive worn the dress a few times so far, but this top just makes it perfect. Some outfits just feel like home, and this one hits the nail for me.

Yesterday I took advantage of the fact that we were going grocery shopping in Kerrville and brought my camera so we could do my outfit pics down by the river. It was really bright and sunny, but it was fun to mix it up a bit. Mr James was my photographer this time. I just got these black moccasins in from Blowfish about 3 days ago, and Im in love big time. I know I say 'these are my favorite pair' with each pair Ive ever received... but seriously, I think these are my favorite pair! I kind of cant believe I waited so long to get them. If I were you I would race to their shop to get you a pair b/c they are selling fast!!! And I have been having so much fun styling my vest from O Bella Organics in different ways. Its kind of a limitless, versatile wardrobe piece. Love. And I had been waiting to use this bag from Bird Trouble until I had my lookbook for The Bohemian Collective all done, and Im soooo thrilled to be able to use it everyday now! Her workmanship is beyond perfect. Not only is it the cutest bag around, its totally functional. She put lots of pockets inside, and hooks and things to hang your keys from. All around amazing bag.
