Threads - Earthy Geometric >>>

 Yesterday was an exciting mail day!  I received this uh-mazing necklace from Moorea Seal.  She calls it the Trinity of Heart necklace.  Im so smitten.  And this adorable sheer top I snagged during Threadsence's memorial day sale!  My little heart was so in love, I immediately styled them up!  This dress tube dress and Blowfish shoes have just been waiting for the perfect components.  Ive worn the dress a few times so far, but this top just makes it perfect.  Some outfits just feel like home, and this one hits the nail for me.

A Recap of the New Sponsor System >>>

Hello everyone!  Since I switched my sponsor ads over to Passionfruit this month, I have seen a dramatic descrease in inquiries, and I wanted to make sure it wasnt because it was confusing all of a sudden.  I absolutely love working with Passionfruit, so I truly hope I can make this work for you!

Anytime you want to sponsor the blog, just pop on over to my sponsor page.  (You will always find a link to it under my 'links' section on the left hand column, or through a button at the bottom of my current sponsor ads).  It will show you the current availability for each size ad, or when it will next be available.  It will always run for 30 days, regardless of what time of the month you sign up.  All you have to do after payment is upload your button and your link!

Passionfruit accepts other payments besides just Paypal too!  I guarantee you its perfectly safe if that is something that worries you.  And just b/c my ads are run through Passionfruit doesnt mean you cant email me at anytime with any questions about your sponsorship.  Ill always still be here for you.  You can find my email at the bottom of the sponsor info page

I have found Passionfruit to be so extremely helpful and easy to use, so I hope you do too!  And seriously for those of you who have blogs with sponsor spots, or even trade ad spots, this site is for you!  You can import in your own ads that are not paid for, or give someone a coupon code for a free or discounted ad.  It is so wonderful!  And you can set it to automatically rotate your ads with each screenview!  That is what I have done with all of mine except the large solo ad.  If you have any questions along the way, they are right there to help you, live!

I know I already did my sponsor call this month, I just wanted to post a little something more about it just in case anyone was confused, or hesitant to go through this site.  I assure you its awesome and its safe!

PEACE,
Laura

Threads - Jewel Tones >>>

Yesterday I took advantage of the fact that we were going grocery shopping in Kerrville and brought my camera so we could do my outfit pics down by the river. It was really bright and sunny, but it was fun to mix it up a bit.  Mr James was my photographer this time.  I just got these black moccasins in from Blowfish about 3 days ago, and Im in love big time.  I know I say 'these are my favorite pair' with each pair Ive ever received... but seriously, I think these are my favorite pair!  I kind of cant believe I waited so long to get them.  If I were you I would race to their shop to get you a pair b/c they are selling fast!!!  And I have been having so much fun styling my vest from O Bella Organics in different ways.  Its kind of a limitless, versatile wardrobe piece.  Love.  And I had been waiting to use this bag from Bird Trouble until I had my lookbook for The Bohemian Collective all done, and Im soooo thrilled to be able to use it everyday now!  Her workmanship is beyond perfect.  Not only is it the cutest bag around, its totally functional.  She put lots of pockets inside, and hooks and things to hang your keys from.  All around amazing bag.
