Threads - Handmade Casual >>>

April 28, 2012 Laura Mazurek

Yesterday was another jeans and tee day...but just by having your tee be a fun PPP one, instantly makes your outfit feel not so drab. I sent this plain olive tee to Shauna, along with amazing fabric you see on the sleeves (it was a funky old vintage dress I found at goodwill, but I adored the pattern). She does amazing custom work... so look at your old t's in a new way and send them over to her! Look in her shop, she has 51 different kinds of customs!!! Holy Smokes! She also just revamped her blog and it really fits her style now. I also love wearing my O Bella Organics headwraps like a messy turban. She just came out with a beautiful new circle scarf. I just love her simple style and amazing colors... In with my necklace mix is a blue beaded one from Nanoutriko. Another great artist. You can get 15% off anything in her shop this month with the code VBAPRIL12 at checkout. I have one of her marbled tiedye headbands and its soooo wonderful!

Threads - Lulu's.com + Skyline Fever >>>

I had so much fun styling this pair of wedges c/o Lulu's.com. They are the Yoki Raven Brown Color Block Cutout Lace-Up Platform Wedges. I can think of a million other outfits these babies would be so perfect with. Lulu's simply has the most amazing shoe choices all in one place Ive ever seen. And they have some super cute new stuff out right now. I paired it with my new favorite Skyline Fever dress! So in love with this dress. I have a thing for gray, and the cut of this dress is just the perfect blend of casual and sexy. The vest is in my Roots and Feathers shop. Ive meant to make some more of these for a long time... one day. The fedora is from Forever21 and the bangle is just one I wrapped in some vintage trim.

Threads - Earthy Butterfly >>>

April 25, 2012 Laura Mazurek

Just popping in with a super comfy spring outfit post. I got this darling little vintage crochet top in the mail c/o Suds In The Bucket the other day. I kind of cant get enough of the color brown. It really is one of my very favorite colors. I paired with a Skyline Fever butterfly tank. This one was a mess that I kept... I get all the 'oops' shirts! I patched up these shorts a few years ago and still just love them. I used some sentimental deer fabric that was my moms. I love that every piece of this outfit was handmade or vintage. And Ive been enjoying this amazing weather lately! Soaking it up before it gets blistering hot outside.

Threads - Lulu's.com Doily Top >>>

April 21, 2012 Laura Mazurek

This is positively one of my alltime favorite outfits, and going to be my go-to outfit this season. Lulu's.com sent me a few items to review and this beautiful O'Doily Rules! Beige Sweater Top is one of them. Can I just say I am IN LOVE with this top. To be honest, so much that Ive worn it 3 days in a row! I love that even though its considered a sweater, its still very lightweight and open, so I can still wear it when its pretty warm outside. A great piece for seasonal transitions. I wore it out last night to see some live music, with some bell jeans and boots, it was so cute! Im pretty much over the moon with this piece.

Im SUPER excited to give every one of my readers a special code to get 15% off your entire order at Lulu's.com. Just enter VIOLETBELLA at checkout. It is case sensitive. And is only good for the next 3 days... 4/21 - 4/23! You can even still get this top! And.... my favorite dress they are currently selling is this one. If you get something, let me know, Id love to join in on the fun!!!
