SPARROW LYN GIVEAWAY {CLOSED}

"Sparrow Lyn is a product of the Artist and Designer in me...

I have loved styling clothes for as long as I can remember. Playing with my mother's shawls and draping them on my dolls was how I spent my childhood. Now I see my daughter doing it and wonder if she is following in my footsteps - how nice would that be.

I studied to be a Fashion Designer and then the corporate world enticed me and I got side tracked. 18 yrs later I decided to get back to what I truly loved - Art and Fashion. So I quit and started Sparrow Lyn curating 70s Vintage clothing and Illustrating for my hand screen printed Tees. At the same time I enrolled at The Academy of Realist Art where I spend time around canvasses, paint and some very talented people.

The most important thing for me is creating an example for my two beautiful daughters "That you must do what you love and truly love what you do".   ~Lynda D'Souza (owner & designer of Sparrow Lyn)

A few of my personal favorites from Sparrow Lyn's shop are above.  So many beautiful bohemian pieces... but she also has many rocker styles as well!  And I of course love her screenprinted tees!  Which makes me super excited to be able to give one of my readers their choice of one of her handmade tees today!

Winner will receive their choice of the screenprinted tees from Sparrow Lyn!

BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION

outfit details:  hat - target // sweater - f21 // tank - sevenly // velvet bellbottoms - iconoclap // boots - bcfootwear // necklace + bracelet - spiral drift

Friday I spent the whole day with my bestie, her twin and her other sister, to celebrate their 30th birthday.  Her twin was my bestie all through junior high... funny how things work out.  It was the first time the four of have hung out together, I think in our entire lives, without it being a family thing.  It was so nice to spend the day with these girls... I love them so much.  Each so different, but yet the same.  We shopped like crazy girls and stopped for italian along the way.  It was a very good day.  Both Ann and I were on the verge of migraines all day... but mine stayed at bay until that night.  I had a real migraine the whole night through and next day... and I had to miss their bowling party last night b/c of it.  So bummed.  So I'm very grateful for the time we spent the day before!

Two cute things I found.  I can't remember the name of the store the skull shirt came from... I found the sweet birdies at world market and got them for my tree, for my parents.  The cardinal is of course my mama.  I wish they had a roadrunner for my dad, but this beautiful bird will do.  I should count how many birds I have on my xmas tree, probably a ton!

p.s. today is the last day to enter the Soulmakes giveaway, and get 20% off in their shop with the code 'rootsofmysoul'.
