Threads - Moons & Junes & Ferris Wheels >>>

Im so excited to share today's outfit post!  This shirt has been a week in the making since I didnt have time to do it all at once.  I was inspired by Jill's tutorial here, but used another method.  I cant find the original source now, but it was a simple tutorial on how to use glue.  I started off with a plain white shirt, wrote my Joni Mitchell lyrics with the glue, let it dry a few days (only b/c I was busy), then dyed it with rit dye with an ombre effect.  I love the peachy color it came out.  Then I cut the tee to make it cute with a hi-low rise on the bottom, scoop neck and tulip sleeves.  My new favorite summer shirt, and I want to make a million of them now!  Id love to have a shirt making party with some friends!  Im going to try Jill's bleach method next on a black shirt!

Moorea Seal has made me fall madly in love with these earrings of hers!  I love the 3D look.  They are so modern but still feel so feminine.  Simple perfection! ...And I used one of my favorite O Bella Organics headwraps as a belt with this outfit... LOVE.  Such a versatile little piece.  This one is the plum colored one.

I am still in my highly inspired spring mode.  Behind the scenes Ive been working on alot.  I have a super rad collaborative project in the works, Im still busting out new pretties for Ruche and Threadsence, Ive made some adorable dreamcatchers going to good homes (and want to make more for the shop soon), I made some new things yesterday that just make me want to squeal, and have two new styling invitations that Im very thrilled about coming soon.  This is why I love spring.  Although I tend to get so into what Im doing I can miss out on the fun life outdoors.  Which means if the project will be okay outside, then I need to take it on my porch to work on it!  

Other exciting news is that James wants to start going to yoga!  So we are planning on going to my alltime favorite evening classes by my oh so adored yoga teacher.  Ive had to miss about 7 weeks of yoga class now since we only have one car.  Im so thrilled he is finding interest in it.  Ive always wanted to do yoga together, I hope it really happens.

Time to go get busy, and listen to some good tunes and daydream while I do.

PEACE,
Laura

Lady Bird Meadow - Wildflower Farm >>>

Here are some of the photos we took at the Wildflower Farm the other day.  I cant wait to plant the seeds we brought home.  It sort of seemed like a dreamland.  I want to plant a whole field of the ones in the second picture.  We cant wait to go back and take Violet to get her picture in the flowers!  We really enjoyed just walking around and taking in all the beauty around us.  Id love to go on a day when no one else is there, if there is such a day...  and just spend the whole day taking photos and sitting in awe. 

This little black kitty was sleeping amongst the flowers for sale!  He was so sweet!  Such a wonderful surprise.  

Like James shirt??  I got it for his from Kin Ship Press on etsy.  They have a girls version too!  Im pretty much in love with their shop and have a wishlist in my head.  It looks like they are currently sold out of alot, or no longer make some, but they have a moon shirt Im in love with.

PEACE,
Laura

Threads - Tee Pee & Flowers >>>

Yesterday we spent easter day with James parents. It was such a good day. We went to Fredricksburg to see the wildflower farm. The flowers were so so pretty. Then we went to Luckenbach and had a beer while we watched some singer songwriters strum their guitars.  The weather was perfect all day, not too hot.  I took lots of photos, so Im seperating the outfit from the day.  Ill post fun pics of the wildflower farm next.  

I recently got this floral dress from my friends garage sale.  Along with my alltime favorite Skyline Fever shirt.  I love how easy this top is to layer with so many different looks.  Comfiest shirt in my closet.  I snuck Bella in some pics below.  She was hanging out by me when I was taking pics, so I scooped her up for some shots.  It might not of made her day, but it sure made mine!  By the way, this is the best way to wear your hair when you havent washed it in three days...  Just fyi.

Threads - Black & Brown >>>

Last night we went out with some friends to first friday.  Its been a few years since Ive been.  We saw some interesting art.  I have to admit, Im a bit of an art snob, so it takes alot to really get me excited...  Not sure if that is a good thing or a bad thing.  Then we walked the streets with lots of other random strangers and enjoyed the sights and the little pit stops of people playing music and selling their wears out of the front yards.  In the middle of this big group of people selling your typical street art things, there was a beauty of a girl selling very lovely vintage finds.  I was impressed with the style of things she had found.  Although as badly as I wanted to, I could not buy anything... (we are in a bit of a financial downtime right now due to taxes).  But we had a great time with my bestie and her twin.  Im so glad we went. 

My outfit last night was probably one of the most 'me' feeling outfits Ive ever put together.  I dont wear black very often at all b/c of my two adorable fluffy white babies.  They get hair all over everything.  But some things are just a must have, like this black hi low maxi skirt.  I just have to carry a lint roller in my purse, ha ha!
