A Night out with Fred Eaglesmith >>>

 Last night we saw one of my alltime favorite musicians play at Floores.  Fred Eaglesmith holds a sweet spot in my heart, and especially b/c its shared between me and my bestie.  The songs from Paradise Motel just bring me back to a time in my life and make me want to weep everytime I hear them.  This was the first time seeing him since his mandolin player passed away.  He is now paired up with The Ginn Sisters (who are from Texas) for this tour.  They were amazing and made me want more more more.  They kind of intoxicated me.  Im so glad that this canadian loves to come to our home town about once a year.  Ill never forget the first time I saw him play at the Cabaret in our hometown before it shut down.  And then another time that was just so very special... The first week James and I started dating.  We drove to Gruene with our friends and had a magical evening.  One of my top memories for several reasons.

Of course I was excited to get dolled up for a night out... you know how I love the clothes.  A true weakness.  I thought Id show you real quick how I transitioned what I wore during the day to my evening outfit.  Simple change of the shorts to a skirt, mocs to boots and throw on a sweater and accessories.  These are my favorite kind of outfits.  Do you spy miss Violet in the background?  :)

CSNY Threads >>>

Yesterday's outfit was full of some of my favorite pieces in my wardrobe.  This golden crochet fringe cardigan is just about my new favorite piece.  The moment I saw it, it just screamed my name.  Nanna, this is another piece I got with my giftcard :)  My custom CSNY dress from PPP is pretty stellar if I say so myself.  I searched for this shirt to revamp for a long time.  I found it on ebay as a mens xxxl and it made the perfect dress.  If anyone EVER comes across this vintage shirt as a regular small size PLEASE let me know.  Id probably wear it everyday of my life.  And I could pair just about anything with these blue velvet pants from Threadsence.  They have completely filled the shoes of the bellbottom ones I had in junior high/high school.  As you can see, these Blowfish flats go with just about any outfit on the block!  The lovely red and teal tassel earrings came from Rachel of La Belle Vie.  So darling!  And the braided leather bracelets are from my collection from Flourish Leather.
We spent the afternoon yesterday picking up a rental car.  My boy had two deer run into his car on the way to work the other morning.  Yes, they ran into him!  It happens out here in the hillcountry.  I knew a girl who on two separate occasions had a deer jump off a cliff area onto her car!  Or at least she said so.  Sounds like an exaggeration to me, but honestly something I could see really happening.  Today, Im playing catch up from the past two days.  Time to get my butt to work!  Here is some of CSNY for you to listen to.  Not as great as listening to them on vinyl, but better than nothin!


PEACE,
Laura
