THREADS - BLUE VELVET

I have been dying to share these pants for well over a week now!  Ive worn them a few times, but haven't been able to get pics until the other night when we went out with our friend Christie to see the Ataris play.  She came home for a week long visit and we were happy to spend some time with her.  Now that she lives in California, we only see her a few times a year, if that.  She came over and had a little campfire with us too!  

So, back to these amazing pants!!!  They are from Iconoclasp on etsy!  She makes them custom fit to your size, in a few different colors.  I had a pair of blue velvet pants in high school that were my favorites, and I wore them until a huge hole ripped in the butt of them!!  Ive been on the lookout for another pair ever since.  They are a dream come true.  Fit to perfection!!  I kind of can't say enough good things about them.  Its love.  I layered them with some simple tanks and a black knit cardigan.  Along with this beautiful and simple quartz necklace from Run With The Tribe and studded leather bracelets from Moorea Seal.  Run With The Tribe has some amazing new jewelry right now.  My favorite being this single earring.  And you can barely see them, but I wore some of my Blowfish boots with them... so happy its boot season again!

James wore his shirt from Sevenly.  I wish I could affored to get each new shirt that comes out every week, all for amazing causes.  A very cool company.

It was awesome seeing The Ataris right in San Antonio.  James and I listened to them in high school, and for a bit San Dimas High School Football Rules was our song.  Kind of cool to have memories that go so far back, and to be able to revisit them so many years later.  And its great to see bands still doing their thing after so many years as well.  We got to meet and chat with Kris for a bit and he is super nice.  It was a great night.

THREADS - HARVEST MOON

This outfit is the perfect blend of fall colors to me.  The mustard color of this skirt is one of my all time favorite colors.  Seasons and colors excite me!  I love the energetic powers they hold.

After posting tons of new goodies in my Roots and Feathers shop, today I will spend some time packaging up orders, and then cleaning up my space.  My studio is a WRECK.  A wreck.  Drives me nuts just walking in there right now.  Which means its time to re-organize and clear space for new work.  This is a constant thing I must do.  And I need to clean my home.  Constantly learning to find the balance of work, play, learning and cleaning.  My moon time always falls on the week of the new moon.  I find it an awesome thing that my body naturally goes through a few day period of heavy rest and re-set b/c of this, right before the new moon takes place, giving me a fresh surge of energy during this time.  

The universe has recently opened some new amazing opportunities for some of my closest friends, and my heart is just bubbling over with joy for them...  mmmmm...  AND... Im looking forward to a harvest moon date with a very special friend at the end of the month.  Namaste.

THREADS - CORAL MOON

This was what I wore the other night on my date with my bestie.  Ive been on an Obella Organics kick lately, and this skirt is no exception.  Betsy's color palette is so beautiful, and each piece she makes is soooo comfortable.  I cannot wait to watch her collection grow.  And this handmade clutch from Bird Trouble was the most perfect combo with the color of the skirt!  This is the first clutch Ive ever owned.  Ive always been afraid I would leave my purse somewhere if it was a clutch, b/c Im so used to having a strap around me, but so far, Ive been good!!  And even though Im so ready for fall and just want to start wearings boots, I need to squeeze in as much sandal time as I still can.  These blowfish sandals are still some of my favorites.  They are starting to get in some amazing boots for winter though!!  And... the body chain is a new piece for Roots and Feathers, coming soon.  Its been a while since Ive made one.  I have soooo many new things to list.  Im starting to get re-inspired, after feeling a huge lull for a long time.  I think the cooler weather may have brought with it a touch of my creative spirit back.  Thank you winds of change.

(for those who will ask, the tank was thrifted and the rings are from f21)

These were taken in my backyard next to my little garden box with plumbego and pomegranate bush.  I cut all of my tomato plants back and my herbs, and they are all starting to rebush and look beautiful again after so much texas heat this summer.  Its time to start planting a fall garden.  Its the perfect weather to get outside and play.  This morning while I was talking on the phone to my nanna, there were four hummingbirds buzzing around my head, playing with each other.  It was so cute.  I love how they are not afraid to get super close to you.  Amazing little creatures.

THREADS - RED RED WINE

This is what I wore the day of the blue moon, when I went to go visit my Nanna.  Im absolutely smitten with these wine suede booties from Lulu's.com.  So so in love.  They remind me of my mother and me combined.  I adorned them with one of the necklaces in my shop that I wore in the latest Bohemian Collective lookbook.  I also channeled my own owl medicine with this old tee after posting the first in a Luner Animal series on the Bohemian Collective blog.  I thought it was quite fitting.  Both tops are from Forever 21, and that awesome chevron ring is also from Lulu's.com.  And these awesome cords are from Threadsence.  It was the first time leaving the house this season that it felt cool enough to layer!  Im soooo ready for fall.  Even though its not quite here yet, Im saying hello to it, whispering sweet nothings into the air to it.  Oh yes, I have a deep affinity for fall.
