Threads - Lavender Flowerchild >>>

Here is the second outfit shoot done by my hubby! Im realizing I smile alot more, but mostly b/c Im nervous I think. Im teaching him how to take certain shots, like close ups. Before you know it, hell be a pro! Im also noticing that as spring has blossomed, so has the color in my wardrobe! All of a sudden Ive felt like breaking out my more colorful pieces. This adorable lavender tee is the newest set for Skyline Fever. I still need to finish photographing them for the shop! I loved the color combo so much I had to snag one. I think I now have snagged 5 flowerchild shirts, eeek!  The skirt is actually a dress, you know one of those simple ruched tube top dresses.  I couldnt believe how perfect this belt from Gypsy Warrior went with these two pieces.  It picked up just the right colors.  Also, can I say I am over the moon with my new Blowfish sandals.  These ones are called the Gypsies.  They also just stocked some of the most fabulous shoes I have seen to date in their shop!  Gooooo look!  It makes my heart race just looking at them.  I really can be a nerd over clothes.  Sometimes I wish I didnt love them so much, but goodness I do.  I love how an article of clothing can make you feel just so you.  For as long as I can remember, Ive been a bit obsessed with clothes. Its a weakness of mine.


These lovely earrings above are from La Belle Vie.  I love the simple hand forged look of them.  My rings are from my shop, Maie Dae and a sweet gifted one from a friend.  Oh, and I tied some vintage trim into my braid.

Im very excited for tomorrow.  I get to see my bestie and her twin sister (who was my bestie in junior high) who now lives in california.  So looking forward to it.

Foodie Love - Cucumber Tomato Salad >>>

 Its been a while since Ive posted a food post!  Food is something that is very up and down for me.  I have a love hate relationship with it.  Im a sucker for things like chocolate chip cookies, and also for being a procrastinator and waiting until I need something quick quick!  So on days where my head is very much into my work, which is most days, I tend to not eat so great.  Ill just grab some seaweed chips and artichoke dip and have that for lunch.  May not sound all that bad, but its definitely not a very balanced diet when I do that.  But, when Im on a good train track with food, I love it.  I enjoy preparing food for the most part, I just never allot myself enough time to do so.  The other day we had a family get together at my Nanna's and my aunt brought the simplest cucumber tomato salad and I fell in love with it.  It was so easy to make, took just a few minutes and I had enough to eat for 3 days! 

 Ingredients: cucumber, cherry tomatoes, green onions and italian vinagrette. 

The second day I had it with guacamole and sesame & seaweed chips.  

The other day I also made the prettiest colored shake I just had to photograph it.  And I had to drink it in this purple cup b/c of the color!  Do you ever choose your cups or plates b/c of the color against your food?  I do, almost always.  Im a nut.

 I dont remember what was in this shake, or I would list it for you...

BTW - I redid the blog a bit!  New banner, and a few new things on the sidebars.  xo.

PEACE,

Threads - Orange Blossoms >>>

Im excited to say that my hubby will be helping me out with many of my outfit posts from now on!  When we were dating we used to do this alot, but over the last few years its dwindled down to just about never.  It will take some getting used to, Im not as comfortable in front of the camera if there is an actual person behind the lens, ha ha, Im so used to just me and my self timer.  So hopefully over time, Ill be more relaxed in front of the camera, and James will be more relaxed behind the camera.  Well ease into it together.  Its something Ive been wanting to do for a long long time, but weve just never quite made it happen.  So, when we go on our daily post office runs, well find fun places around bandera to shoot our photos.  I of course picked my absolute favorite place for the first ones, and Im sure youll be seeing this spot alot.  I just utterly adore these walls. 
This was kind of a very casual/ sort of nice outfit.  I love how one pretty flowy top can transform a jeans and tanktop outfit. 

Outfit details: 
 earrings - roots and feathers
necklace - nanoutriko
top + tank - forever 21
jeans - ae
sandals - blowfish shoes

PEACE,
