Today is my mama's birthday.  She would of turned 57 today.  As I was thinking about her this morning, it dawned on me that today is also the anniversary of Roots and Feathers, since I officially launched in on her birthday 2 years ago.  So today its 2 years old!  It's been a beautiful journey.  I became the featured seller on etsy after only having this shop open for 3 months, which was a huge affirmation to me that I was going in the right direction following my heart.  Since then its just been a constant source of love and inspiration for me.  Truly where my heart is.  And the wonderful feedback I get from all of you has been the light source that keeps it going.   

As a thank you, Im offering 20% off through sunday, in honor of the 2 years.  Just enter the code TWOYEARS at checkout to receive the discount.  And please share this if you can/want.  I would so appreciate it.

I thought since there is a giveaway going on for Miss Money Bags right now, I would show you the custom wallet she made for me a while back.  I sent her my own fabrics, some of my favorites and even part of an old shirt that was my mothers.  I couldn't be more happy with how it came out, and it is now so very special to me. 

The giveaway is going on through the weekend!  Be sure to check it out.  And if you don't win you might consider having a custom made up.  (the giveaway is not for a custom piece, only in stock items)

I'm pretty sure this is my first ever no-makeup outfit post.  Ill be the first to admit, I don't usually feel comfortable in my own skin without makeup.  I hate that, but it's true.  I'm pretty sure it stems from generations of women in my family who would not leave the house without it.  Something I want to work on.  But it's hard for me, b/c I don't see myself the same in the mirror most days.  I don't have the same level of confidence without it.  Sad, isnt it?  But its the honest truth.  So, here I am.  Learning to let go.

Did you notice those beautiful bracelets???  They are named after me!  Pretty darn excited about it.  Ettika contacted me a few weeks ago about wanting to create a bracelet stack named after Roots and Feathers.  I got to pick out three bracelets to design the 'stack'.  It is now sold in their shop as the Roots and Feathers Stack.  How cool is that?   I love that they are adjustable.  I have tiny wrists so many bracelets don't fit me well.  I think the ones I picked out look great together!  They were kind enough to even send me the stack I picked out, so here they are in person.  Pretty sure these are going to be on my wrists all summer.

Bella decided to join me today for my outfit post.  Im pretty sure I was more excited about that then she was, but that's okay.  I was working on piecing together a look for an upcoming lookbook shoot with the bohemian collective, so some of these pieces are making sneak peeks.  I can't wait to get back in action with the collective.  Although this summer heat has not been that encouraging to get out in.  But soon... a new shoot will be happening!
