Daily Outfit >>> Jimi Hendrix

 It is raining outside.  Im listening to First Aid Kit.  Bella is sitting next to me.  It is peaceful.  Today I wore my daddies Jimi Hendrix tshirt.  I cut it up a bit to be a bit more girly.  He wore this shirt all the time when he was going out.  I always thought it was cute, it was his idea of a nice shirt.  And gosh he looked handsome in gray shades with his salt and pepper hair.  I told him how good he looked everytime he wore this shirt, maybe that is why he wore it so much.  I miss him everyday.  It is the oddest feeling in the world to walk this journey with no parents by my side.  Everything I do I want to call them and show them.  There are so many exciting things happening in my life right now, I just want to jump up and down and talk ninety miles an hour to my mom.  And hear my dad say 'alright kiddo'!  Anyways... Im glad I have his shirt.  It made me smile today wearing it.

 I have also been swimming in beads!  Im working on new things like crazy.  I have so much to list.  I havent posted the new stuff on here yet, but I have been adding new things to the Roots and Feathers shop.  And there are a few cute ones coming to Violet Bella soon too.  I have a bunch of new feather in a bottle necklaces in the works that you can see below.  And the pic of me below is me working in my studio :)

 I snapped the cutest photo ever of Bella last night!  Is she not precious?  She follows me EVERYWHERE.  I mean everywhere.  She is such a mommas girl, its almost ridiculous at times.  But I do love it.  Id much rather a cat with her butt in my face all the time, than a kitty who didnt like snuggles and love!  We had peas with dinner last night which made her a happy little girl.  She LOVES peas.  We dont really feed our animals people food, just tiny little hints here and there.  Bella loves peas and corn, her favorites!  She got two peas :) 

 Tomorrow is the last day to enter all 3 giveaways going on right now!  See the right side bar under 'current giveaways' to visit them all if you have not already!  Ill announce the winners at the beginning of October.

 PEACE,

A slice of beauty >>>

 This beautiful girl is Maryam of Pamplemousse.  I just had to show off her gorgeous photos real quick.  She recently purchased one of my long single feather earrings and a honeycomb ring from Roots and Feathers, and wore them in this outfit post on her blog.  Lets just say the love is mutual.  Check out the rest of her photos from this shoot on her blog here.  She just recently gave birth to her first child, a beautiful little girl named Margaux.  Her photos will make you squeal from the pure adorableness of this little girl.  Go have a play date on her blog!

PEACE,

Autumn Lookbook + Giveaway...

Introducing my second season lookbook for Roots and Feathers.  This one includes a few pieces that are already in the shop along with some ones held back just for this lookbook.  I have styled it to show several different ideas of how to style your Roots and Feathers accessories.  In the first set of images Im wearing my blue velvet dress from Red Velvet, my new favorite garment hanging in my closet.  There are several other new pieces that will be added to the shop throughout the week, but for now, everything included in this lookbook will be in the shop.  I suggest clicking on the button that says EXPAND to view the lookbook larger.  Also, I really wanted to loop this Neil Young song to the lookbook but couldnt, so I encourage you to click play as you view it.







The giveaway is for YOUR CHOICE of one of these rings above.  They are both vintage acrylic marbled cab rings.  To enter leave a comment below telling me which look in the lookbook is your favorite.  Since they are not named, you can just describe it.  And if you want, tell me your favorite new item.  This giveaway will go through the end of the month, and will be announced at the beginning of next month.

The perfect dress for a date night with my bestie...

Two nights ago I had a date night with my bestie. We were going to go see a friend play her music, but decided it was too late for us old ladies... So we went to our local wine bar instead. I ate my weight in cheese and prosciutto & drank a tall dunkel. Yum. We laughed alot and just had a pleasant evening. I love that girl to no end. I wish I had gotten photos of us but I didnt. But here is the outfit I wore. I had not had a chance to wear this lovely dress from Ruche since I got it (a while back)... 

 <<< outfit details >>>
dress: ruche
belt: ruche
moccasins: PPP vintage
owl ring: made by me
knuckle ring: forever 21

and just for fun...

I have spent all morning working on my first Roots and Feathers order for Threadsence, which I am super stoked to merge the two.  I think it is going to be a perfect union.  And after my daily date with the post office, and picking up my furrball from the vet, Ill be starting to gut my jewelry studio and prep it for all new furniture.  Im hoping I have the stamina for the rest of the day...  Time for a good lunch break now.  

PEACE,
Laura
