Threads - Stripes Stripes Stripes >>>

Yesterday the boy and I went on a date, just for the heck of it.  He asked me a few days ago if I wanted to, and of course I said yes!  We both had some gift cards to spend in a few special places so that was on our list of to do's.  I got a really pretty shirt at Anthropologie!!!  We listened to Nirvana the whole way there, it was fun and nostalgic.  We of course got some Starbucks, although we always wish there were a more down to earth local option around, but that is not the case around us.  The one coffee shop we have in our town that we would go to closes at 2:30 everyday!  Way too early if you ask me.  Then we grabbed some pear and procuitto pizza at our fav pizza place.  All in all it was a nice night spent with my boy.  I think its way important to take time out with your main squeeze when you can!


I wore a new favorite outfit too, full of striped goodness.  I scored this awesome shirt from The Rocker Shop on etsy a few weeks ago.  Love it!  My favorite outfits are ones that are super cute, but equally as comfortable, like this long tee with leggings, ahhh... It was cold out so I layered up.  I wore my striped Noni beanie.  You can find these through Poor Pitiful Pearl during select times.  Her hubbies sweet grandmother makes them, how cool is that!! She just happens to have a few in the shop right now, which is rare, so grab one if you see one you cant live without b/c they dont last long!!!  I also just got this darling necklace in the mail from Natacha of Nanoukiko.  I love the colors of it... I wore it again today. (She is offering 25% of everything in her shop to my readers this month, see details under the sponsor spots).  And.... do you see this amazing bracelet adorning my wrist????  I freaked when I first saw Danielle of Flourish Leather release these babies.  So so beautiful.  She so kindly gifted me one, because she is stellar like that!  I love it.  Have worn it every day since I got it.  Eeeekkk!  (I also wore my simple gray braided one from her too).  And of course, my fav Blowfish boots... cant get enough of these babies.

PEACE,

Official Roots and Feathers website >>>

I am so so so excited to announce the launch of the official Roots and Feathers website!  This kind of happened on a whim!  I was browsing etsy this morning and came across an article for CraftLaunch, a hosting site partnered with etsy.  I have always wanted to open up my own webspace with all of our goodness in one place, but was worried about having stuff listed in two places, and being able to keep up with what is in stock at all times.  This site takes that worry out of the picture.  It links directly to your etsy shop, automatically sets up your categories for you just like you have them in your shop, and when someone wants to purchase something, it directs them to your etsy checkout, so in the end, its all the same!  Im thrilled to have a home for my shop, blog and everything else, like Violet Bella, Skyline Fever, my photograph and even my lookbook, oh and my facebook, twitter and pinterest!  This is your one stop shop for all of our work!!!  EEEKKKKK!!!!  (be sure to bookmark this new site)

In other news, a local shop I sell my work in, Corabell's, wrote up a very sweet blog post about my work.  You should check it out and thank her :)

PEACE,

A few of my favorite bloggers posts >>>

I thought I would share just a few of my favorite blog posts from other bloggers this week. I realized I share alot of links to my favorite designers, but not usually just randoms from blogs I read on a regular basis. So...here are some of my favs from this week... 

I adored this sister style post from A Beautiful Mess.  Both of these girls always find fun and unexpected ways to collaborate an outfit.  I love that they are not only sisters and co-workers, but best friends.

This asparagus soup Emma from Food Coma made looks so yummy!!!  A must try.  (if anyone online would be my little beauty icon, it would be this girl).

Kinsey from Sincerely, Kinsey shared a cute chevron necklace diy made from paint chips!

This is probably my favorite outfit Kaylah from The Dainty Squid has ever worn!  She usually wears bright colors (which is way cute on her) - but I love the way her hair pops with this neutral toned outfit!

Moorea Seal came out with some more of her arrowhead rings!!!  Im kind of obsessed with how beautiful these are.  Im waiting for the perfect one to pop up.  I was too slow to grab my favorites...

Enjoy, these lovely ladies are all well worth checking out.  Im pretty sure you probably know them already though :)

PEACE,
Laura
