I just released the new website for The Bohemian Collective! I love it! Please go check out the new space and let me know what you think!
SACRED SPACE // CUSTOMER STYLE
Throughout the years I have always enjoyed receiving photos from my customers, either wearing the jewelry that they bought, or the a wall hanging they have arranged with their personal home decor. I love seeing how each person has their own individual style and aesthetic. I just received this photo from one of the sweetest customers I have, and I am just so in love with it I had to share it here. I love her little sacred space, and how she curated this table around the custom prayer flag I made her with the word, Awaken. You can find Hollie at her blog home, In a Little Green House.
Check out many more of my customers photos here, and send one in of yourself if you have one. It makes my heart soar to see my little trinkets in the real world, being enjoyed. And if you would like a custom flag made, just send me an email or message me on etsy.
THREADS // DRIFTWOOD & LEATHER
jacket c/o sheinside // shirt - sevenly // jeans - goodwill // shoes - blowfish // earring - gypsies caravan // necklace - wild ivy
Jeans, tee and tennies. This is usually how I dress on days I need to get out of the house but don't really feel like, you now, dressing up at all. But what I love is that just by adding a jacket and the right accessories, it all of a sudden looks more put together. I have never felt more at home in a piece of jewelry than this earring from Gypsies Caravan. The moment I put it on it felt like an extension of me. Seriously. Kind of weird how some pieces of jewelry or clothing do that and others don't. And I love this leather jacket b/c its super thin and lightweight, so I can wear it for a while before it gets too hot. And the beautiful driftwood necklace will be making an appearance in the next Bohemian Collective lookbook, coming soon!
James and I have begun preparing for a new Skyline Fever spring/summer collection. I'm beyond excited about it. After discussing styles, colors and designs with him, I feel a fresh renewal about this line. And I couldn't be more thrilled with the new looks that are to come. Ive been a drawing fool since the discussion came up. I even woke up at 2:30 last night with a vision, and had to get up and draw it right away. It was kind of magical to draw in the middle of the night, when the world is in such a silent state. And it ended up being my favorite drawing yet. Maybe I should make a habit of waking up in the middle of the night to create. :)
PIECES OF HOME
It feels like its been oh so long since Ive shared my Pieces of Home series. I actually have about 50 images already to share, but I'm going to break them up into pairs of 10, so look forward to many more. You will notice on the bottom of the left sidebar, I have created Blog Topics. I am slowly working on updating this list. (It will take a lifetime to go through my whole blog) Since moving over to the new platform, I have to go in and re-tag each post to fit the appropriate category. But when Im done, it will be super nice for you to be able to browse by section if you want, instead of sifting through the whole blog to find a particular post! Yay!

Yesterday I made myself a batch of cookies, made myself a yummy dinner, and re-watched The Shift by Wayne Dyer. It was just the reminder I needed. I realized the reason Ive been allowing people to affect me and hurt me lately is because I have been operating out of a place of ego. A place of possession. It was nice to have a reminder of that, and give me back my perspective on things. Its so easy to get wrapped up in our little worlds and lose sight of what is really important. And this fear/anger place I was coming from this past week is not where its at. I am done allowing people to take away my personal energy b/c they themselves cannot be themselves. It is their journey to walk, and I hope one day they truly find themselves.
Today I am focusing on shipping orders and working on taxes. Exciting, right?
