THREADS // PIGTAILS & LEGGINGS
outfit details: tshirt - hand me down // leggings - wildflower tie dyes // boots c/o blowfish shoes // thunderbird necklace - specked feather // leather necklace - roots and feathers // bracelets - spiral drift + ettika // rings - f21 + roots and feathers
This is what I wore on my hot date with my bestie on friday night. It had been almost a year since we had gone out for drinks on the town since she was pregnant, so we were both beaming with delight to spend this time together. A friend even asked me if I was pregnant that night b/c I was glowing. Ha ha. I was just very happy.
I wore these leggings 4 days in a row, literally. These are day four (without washing). Yes, I am that girl that will wear her clothes several times before washing, unless of course I get them dirty or sweat in them. I also didn't feel like showering this day and my hair was not cooperating, so I wore pigtails. First time in ages. It was kind of fun now that my hair is so long!
I love wearing this thunderbird necklace up high layered with other long necklaces, its quite versatile! The braided leather necklace I made for myself and I love how it turned out. It's my own spin on the ever popular style of braided wrapped stones. You see them everywhere, so I wanted to create something a bit different but with a similar vibe. I love how it looks like a bolo. (I love bolos). I got some really great stones Ill be using to make a few of these for the shop.
And are still my favorite blowfish shoes boots. Love. Have you seen their new fall styles??? Amazing!!!!

NATURE LETTERS DIY
I am SO EXCITED to share this DIY with you today. I have had this in my head for so many months now and I finally took the time yesterday to make it come to life. It turned out even more beautiful than I originally imagined. I think this would be a great idea for a child's room to display their name... the possibilities are really endless. I was going to attach it to a wood board and hang it on the wall, but I decided to keep the letters loose so I can move it around the house as I please.
S U P P L I E S:
sticks & small branches // pieces of nature, ie: feathers, leaves, shells, bone, seeds, dried flowers // twine, ie: hemp, wire, leather // hot glue // scissors
I made an adventure out of it by taking Violet with me on a nature walk to collect our goodies.
S T E P S:
1 // lay all your branches out in the shape you want them. i had to break a few longer branches to get the right size. i also wanted my letters to have enough surface space to glue all my goodies on it, so I doubled up my branches. this made it sturdier too, so it was a win win.
2 // glue all of your branches together with hot glue. i used hot glue for this kind of project b/c it dries super fast, otherwise this project would of taken a week. don't worry about being messy with the glue. your nature pretties will cover most of it up.
3 // secure the corners and ends of the sticks together with your twine. it not only keeps it together for the long run but also adds to the look when you use things like thick hemp or deerskin.
4 // begin to layout your nature trinkets on your letters to get a feel for how you want it to look. i did this with the first letter and then i just went to town and started gluing away with no rhyme or reason.
5 // find a pretty place in your home to display your new nature art!
Below are a few close ups so you can really see the kinds of items that were used and how they were placed.
Now it's time to display your letter art! I made a cozy little reading nook centered around mine. This area needed some refreshing, so it was perfect! Enjoy!
If you make something from this DIY I would LOVE to see it, send me a link!
THREADS // SHEER BATWING DRESS
outfit details: dress c/o sheinside // shoes c/o blowfish shoes // brass pipe ring c/o romwe // moon ring - laurel hill // necklace - spiral drift
What a great weekend this has been! Full of friends, babies, rocks, time with James, good sandwiches, live music, studio time, and sleeping in. Feels very refreshing for the new week ahead.
Today I also created a DIY I'll be sharing on the blog tomorrow. I'm so excited about this one!!! There will also be a new giveaway up tomorrow as well, so check back! I'm off to make some dinner and enjoy the rest of this weekend while I can.
p.s. I think the dress in this outfit post is technically a 'tunic' but I'm a shorty so it passes for a dress on me. I just wore it over a black slip. I think it will be rad over leggings too!
