There might be a bit more outfit posts for a little while b/c its just been so darn pretty outside! The warmer weather creeping in has got me excited to get out more. I'm sooooo ready for spring. So unbelievably ready. I just want to lay on the ground and feel the warmth of the sun all over me. I cannot wait!

Thank you so much for the love you showed for my new mini prayer flags yesterday! I'm excited to be in the studio all day working on custom orders. You guys make this dream of mine come true!!!

And can I just say... my heart is constantly in awe at the love you guys show through your comments, and through personal emails I receive. Thank you for allowing me to feel safe and loved in this space. I am someone who has to feel safe in my environment in order to open my heart, so thank you for creating that kind of environment here. It means the world to me.

Be sure to check back on the blog tomorrow b/c Bella is presenting a fun giveaway! Eeeek!

This adorable sweater is unfortunately sold out at Flying Tomato, but if your quick, they have one left in

another color

! Coziest sweater ever. I wore this outfit a few weeks ago, but Ive been waiting to share it until the release of the bohemian collective lookbook came out. This is a casual version of that outfit. This necklace is one of a new collection I have waiting to be listed for Roots and Feathers. I may be keeping this one b/c I just love it oh so much, but I can take custom orders for them! I have four others ready to be listed, soon!

After feeling very jumbled up in my headspace for about a week now (or more)... yesterday I went to yoga, had a great long talk with a friend and released my new creative lookbook. Those 3 things combined really cheered me up and put me in a better perspective. Later on today Ill begin working on several custom orders, so Im looking forward to some good creative studio time. Thank you to everyone who checked out the

new lookbook

and left some love over on the blog! Makes my heart so happy!

ANNOUNCEMENT:

The winner of the Datevitation giveaway is CHRISTINE R. Please email me at violet_bella (at) hotmail (dot) com. Congrats!

So, I got these pants from my friends online garage sale the other day. I was a little nervous. Ive always admired this style of pants from afar, but convinced myself I was way too short to pull them off. Im SO GLAD I took the risk! Im pretty much in LOVE and have been living in them since I got them. Like total pajama luxury, ha. I love love love them. She got them in Morocco. So excited she gets to go home and see her family in Spain soon, and get to go hunting for more treasures! She has a big virtual yard sale going on her

Gyspies Caravan facebook

page right now. Everything is $5-$10. Although no more pants like this... just look for her photo album titled virtual yard sale.

I decided to keep the rest of the outfit pretty simple with a plain tee and sandals... And of course some jewelry from some of my favorite designers,

Spiral Drift

and

Run With The Tribe

. It was the perfect running errands outfit.

Yesterday, in honor of my moontime, I spent most of the day in bed, literally. I read alot and got lots of extra rest. It's been a while since Ive had a hard one, but it wasn't too bad. Just enough to keep me from doing anything but laying around. But after doing that all day long, I found it in me to get cleaned up and go out with my girl last night to enjoy one of our favorite local bands. I'm so glad I did too. A night out is what I needed. I'm honored to be friends with

Art & Lisa Crawford

. Two of the sweetest people I know, and they make music together beautifully.

Cheers to good friends and good local music!

P.s. I'll be sharing the winners for the Flying Tomato and Catina Jane Arts giveaways soon! Sorry for the delay.

THREADS - EARTHY GEOMETRIC

This is two outfits in one posts. Sheinside sent me this super cuddly snuggly sweater... It is the most crazy cuddle sweater ever, Im serious. Im actually wearing it right now, just the sweater, while drinking my coffee. It could almost be like a winter robe... I love the colors and patterns too, so that is just an added bonus.

When I put this next outfit together the other day, I really thought I was going to wear this sweater out... but it ended up being just a tad too much and too warm... so I switched sweaters... I thought I'd show the option of both so I photographed both for you!

Now here is the outfit with another sweater... very similar colors and patterns. It was just more suitable for our events for that day. Im kind of a layering fool at times, I know.. I cant help myself.
