Threads - Red Headed Stranger >>>

Here is the one and only outfit post with my red hair!!  It is now currently back to blonde... After about 5 days of having, I realized I still just did not love it.  So I decided to strip it and go back to brown and blonde, and I instantly felt better.  Thank you for all the wonderful response to the red though, you guys are too sweet!!!

I will never get over loving this top from Lulu's.com.  Pretty much one of my favorite pieces in my closet.  And this necklace from Spiral Drift.  Her pieces to me are complete artworks in and of themselves.  I feeeeeel her love she put into them.  And yeah, you know my love for my Blowfish shoes... These are James favorites!  Everytime I wear them he smiles and tells me he loves them... its so cute!

The single earring I am wearing is one style of a new little collection in my Roots and Feathers shop.  Each one is one of a kind and eclectic.  I adore them... There are lots of other new pieces that went up yesterday as well!

Instagram Love - Friends >>>

Just a few instagram pics from this past week.  The first one of the maiden braid is the only pic I took of my hair when I bleached it the other day.  The contrast was so pretty!  (Im still crying just a little bit over that one)...  And the rest are pics from last weekend when we went to our friends house.  These two boys below are my rocks.  One my love, and one is one of my best friends.  And when they are together, there are so many priceless moments that are created.  We all tried on tons of hats and sunglasses that night, it was silly.

Speaking of friends... my friend Katelyn is going to be coming back to Texas to spend a week with me at the end of this month!  Im super excited!  I get to meet her new little one for the first time.  AND she is going to photograph the next Bohemian Collective lookbook!!!!  This will be the very first time Ive ever worked with someone else on a creative project like this.  Im very excited, and very nervous about being in front of the camera with someone else around.  And then in September, my friend Christie is coming home!!  She moved to Cali, and Texas longs for her everyday.   She just became my newest sponsor, go check out her blog, ChristeeGee.  She interviews super awesome bands and artists!

Threads + Blowfish Giveaway Winner >>>

One more outfit post from before dying my hair red!  This was from earlier in the week.  This green top is one of my favorite shirts Ive ever owned.  Ive had it since I was about 15, and its starting to fall apart... But Ive never stopped loving it after all these years.  And I pretty much fell in love with it adorned with one of Lost Boys & Lovers body harnesses.  Putting on one of these harnesses makes you feel like an instant bad-ass.  Im not kidding.  There is something about them that just gives you like on old west dont cross me kind of feel.  Even with dainty florals, feminine sandals and quartz earrings on!  And I never thought this Bird Trouble purple bag would go with so much, but it does!  Its kind of become an extension of myself. 

 I apologize for the delay in bringing you the winner of the blowfish shoes giveaway!  Without further adieu...

please email me at violet_bella at hotmail dot com.

P.S.  thank you so much for all the kind words about my new red hair.  Its funny, b/c Ive dyed my hair almost every color in the past, but since its been pretty natural for so long, it feels so different this time...  Im still not used to it, but Im giving it time.  It really helped to hear so many of you liked it so much, so thank you!
