Threads - Blackbird Tees >>>

This morning I wrote a thank you post over on The Bohemian Collective to all of you who visited the new site!  I am just so so pleased with it all.  Each little nook and cranny of it is beyond what I thought it would be.  I dont think Ill ever get over being thankful to everyone who participated!  And thank you so much to those of you who have donated to TWLOHA through our page!  Means so so so much to me!  

Do you ever feel after creating something huge, after all the initial excitement slows down, you just feel sluggish?  That is how I felt yesterday.  I was having terrible internet issues and couldn't complete the simplest tasks.  I finally dropped everything and laid in the bathtub for about 1 1/2 hours (or more).  That is the one place I can go to force myself to not do anything.  Im feeling better today, and Im not having internet troubles, yay!  

James got me this uber cool sweatshirt for mothers day from Blackbird tees on etsy.  He told me I could buy myself something from Forever 21 (since he knows I can go crazy there)... but I quickly asked him if I could buy something handmade from etsy instead.  Ive been eyeing this sweater for a long time, and I think I could quite possibly live in it.  Most of the jewelry you see me sporting is brand new stuff I made for Roots and Feathers just this morning!  Ill be listing it all in the shop very soon...

Introducing - The Bohemian Collective >>>

Words can hardly express how thrilled I am to introduce you to the project Ive been working so hard on lately!  The screenshot above is just a snippet of it!  I have orchestrated a collection of artisans to come together in an inspiring lookbook series and blog.  The oh so beautiful blog was designed by Kelly Ann of The Flowerchild Dwelling, and I could not be more over the moon with how beautiful it turned out.  She took my vision and brought it to life ten fold.  Please take some time to go thumb through all the nooks and crannies of this super fun project, and find out how you can be a part of it!

 
The Bohemian Collective will be a completely separate blog from this one, so please follow via bloglovin' over there.  You can find the link at the bottom of the page.

PEACE,
Laura

Tomorrow Is The Big Day >>>

Im so so so so excited that tomorrow I will be releasing the project Ive been working so hard on behind the scenes this past month.  It is a collaboration with me and 15 others!  And its something that every single one of you, and anyone you know can be a little part of!!!  This has truly been a labor of love and feels like my third baby... (Violet Bella & Roots and Feathers being my first two).  EEEEEEEEEEEEEKKKKKK!!!!!!!

PEACE,
Laura

Threads - Paisley Kaftan Dress >>>

The other day we decided to go the back way home from town to see if a little local thrift shop was open that weve never been to.  I was thrilled when the sign said open, since almost everytime we drive by its closed.  It was packed full of odds and ends, and millions of your typical thrift store trinkets.  I was soooo excited when I found this top.  James immediately called it a mumu, like he calls alot of things...  really its a womens plus size top that is way too big for me, but you can hardly tell when its belted.  Ive been wearing it around the house like a robe almost everyday since.  Its kind of fun to wear something around like pjs, then throw on some jewelry and shoes and instantly make it a nice comfy outfit!  I found another one that is cream and gold, and really really big, but i love it soooo much!  It was a fun thrift store score day!  It has been so long since Ive been thrifting, it thrilled my soul for the hunt.  And Im so so so in love with Blowfish's Genny wedges.  Are these not amazing?  I cant wait to show you how I styled them in my upcoming project!!!

Im still working away at this project.  Im devoting this entire day to try to wrap up as much as I can.  Ill just tell you, it includes a lookbook that has twice the amount of photos than any of my other ones do!  Eeeek!  See you on the flip side!

PEACE,
Laura
