THREADS - HIPSTO STYLE

A few times over the past few weeks I have taken some super quick outfit photos with my phone.  The ultimate in laziness.  But some days I'd like to capture my outfit but am either short on time, or just don't feel like fooling with the big camera and tripod.  I wasn't sure if I was even going to share these... but I've done it so often lately, I might as well.  I might mix some in here and there with my regular outfit posts.  All the colors are a bit off of the original since these all have phone filters on them. 

outfit details:  top - obella organics // velvet pants - threadsence // boots - blowfish shoes // necklace + bracelet - spiral drift // purse - christi jay

I'll be back tomorrow with an amazing giveaway from Gaia Conceptions!  Her work is stunning, someone is going to be a lucky lady!

What I wore on our little date around our town the other night for the christmas lighting.  We were a little disappointed with the outcome of people.  In years past the streets of our town are just flooded with people, but not that we saw this year.  Unless we just showed up at the wrong time.  But we still enjoyed a night out with each other.  I'm a bit obsessed with this hat I found at Target.  Ive worn it about 10 times since I got it just a few shorts weeks ago.  I'm becoming more and more a hat person, where as I used to just feel so silly in them.  They are starting to feel really normal on my head, and I like that!  And is that moon necklace not just amazing??  Yes, its no secret that Spiral Drift is my favorite jewelry designer... Love love love. 

I've been up since 4:30 this morning.  I'm already wanting a nap and its only 9:30, yikes!  This day shall be interesting.  I have some custom orders Ill be working on, as well as other shop orders.  We are getting closer and closer to christmas, so if your wanting to order something to arrive in time, please make sure to order soon.  For those of you who follow my fanpage on facebook, there might be a secret discount code for you ;)  It only lasts for one more day!

I think I need to go make myself a yummy breakfast and wake up!  Have a great day!

This is what I wore to Thanksgiving at my Nanna's.  My favorite color palette in the world, Autumn.  When I got this sweater in the mail I knew I wanted to wait to wear it on Thanksgiving.  I love how 70's it is, reminds me of an embroidered pillow.  And its just the right shade of green.  Im excited its tights weather!  Although Ive poked holes in almost all of my cute tights already.  I can hardly wear a pair of tights without poking holes in them... anyone else have this problem?  And I usually do it the first time I wear them, and most often, within the first hour.  Maybe I need to go back and embrace my 90's teenage self who loved tights only if they had holes in them.  (Ever+mi.crush carries my Violet Bella jewelry!  You can find it here).

We had a really nice thanksgiving gathering at my Nanna's house.  I love that I have a loving family who doesn't fight and can just be with each other.  It was very laid back with lots of really good food.  So much to be thankful for.  Of course it was a pretty bittersweet day for me, as all holidays are now without my mom and dad.  But I kept them close to my heart, like I always do.  I'm always reminded by someone in my family how much I resemble my mom, and that makes me happy.  I need to take a photo of us side by side for you guys to see!

I know its kind of been outfit post and giveaway central around this blog lately.  As fun as those things are, I am yearning for some good time to blog more heart to heart.  This season just keeps me so busy.  I'm planning on changing some things up here on the blog at the beginning of the new year.  I will no longer be doing as many individual giveaways, and doing just a small handful a month in big groups.  (kind of like I use to).  I'm also hoping to change up the layout of the blog in general as well.  Lot's of regrouping, brainstorming, letting go and simplifying.  It's what I need. 

We are still having sales in all of our shops, through monday!  Things are selling out fast!!!  If your looking to do some of your holiday shopping with handmade artists and not go fight the hustle in the city, there are so many great deals online this weekend!  Get 20% everything in Roots and Feathers, Violet Bella & Skyline Fever with the code BLACKNUMBERONE at checkout.  (Get an extra 10% off if you leave a note at time of checkout telling me where that code came from).  We will also combine shipping if you order from both shops.  We will refund you when we are shipping the items out.

Today I will be filled up with packaging orders and cleaning my house.  While listening to loud music and drinking tons of lemon water.

Please read my last post to see if you were a giveaway winner!

THREADS - CRYSTAL SHIP + GYPSIES CARAVAN GIVEAWAY

The Crystal Ship by The Doors on Grooveshark
 
Today's post is an outfit post and giveaway in one!  Yesterday I wore some really fun stuff.  Just about the brightest outfit I think Ive ever worn.  I don't normally go for super bright colors, but these pants from Flying Tomato just called my name for some reason.  A side of me I wasn't even aware I had until laying eyes on them...  And they are the comfiest, most light weight pants in the world!  A bit on the longer side for us shorties, so I had to wear some wedges, but really that just made them all the better.  So in love.  I think I would wear just about every piece Flying Tomato has in their shop.  Stellar.  And it was just about perfection paired with my thrifted Doors tee that I found for under $1.  Best score ever.  Man I miss thrifting.  It's been way too long.  We just haven't had the time when James is actually off to go.
