outfit details:  collared shirt c/o sheinside // thunderbird top - retrotimbre // jeans - target // cons - target // necklace - soulmakes // bracelet - nanoukiko // earrings - mooreaseal // glasses c/o john ruvin (murdock)


Quick reminder... only a few hours left to enter the Sheinside giveaway going on right now!  $150 shopping spree!!!!! 

And... how adorable are these glasses???  I'm excited to share that starting tomorrow and through a whole month after, the lovely folks at John Ruvin are offering all of my readers $35 off all of their eyewear!!!  Just use the code Roots13 (it is case sensitive) at checkout!  How rad is that?  It was really hard for me to choose which glasses I loved the most b/c they have some pretty stellar styles, and each one comes in a few different color combos.   

p.s.  Ive had alot of these throw my hair up in a bun make-up-less days lately.  This month I have found myself over-commited and increasingly emotional and I feel myself needing to retreat a bit.  Yet I have far too many things on my plate to just retreat.  So for a while this blog may be a whole lot of outfit posts and giveaways (some really rad giveways are scheduled), until I can find the space again to be clear with my heart and my words.  When I'm not working, you can most likely find me tucked away in my bed with the twinkle lights on, journaling.  October is my favorite month with the seasons changing and Halloween coming up, so I'm really hoping to get my spark back in time for that.  I remember feeling this way last year around this time too.  I miss my dad alot around Halloween, so I'm sure that is part of it.

SPIRIT TRIBE // IN THE FLESH

Yesterday I had the honor of meeting my friend Takoda from Spirit Tribe in the flesh.  She was coming to Texas for a wedding and we were able to get together yesterday morning.  She was just as beautiful (actually... more beautiful) as I imagined her to be.  We talked for about 10 minutes on my sidewalk before we even made it through the front door, and once we got inside we talked so much time got away from her and she had to rush out the door, and I realized I didn't even get to show her around the whole house or even my studio!  Ha!  Which is totally okay b/c that means we were just very engaged in each other which is whats it all about anyway.  It was a joy to meet her and I can't wait to one day venture out to Santa Fe... She hand delivered a few pieces I'll be featuring in an upcoming Bohemian Collective shoot, and the dreamcatcher above is one of them.  It is soooooo stunning in person, I can't even explain.  She used my birthstones and the colors and vibe of it could not feel any better and closer to my heart if she tried.  And I love that it is almost as tall as I am!   

I'm so happy I said yes to meeting her.  In all honesty I get super high anxiety when I meet new people, or even see people I love dearly that I haven't seen in a long time.  I can be pretty good at making up excuses b/c of my anxiety... so it was good for me to say yes with no hesitation!  I feel blessed to call Takoda my friend and it felt so good to have her in my home space...

The idea of mixing three totally different colored navajo inspired prints together in one outfit sounds like overkill, but I actually love the way they look together.   

I spend the day lovingly cleaning my house.  I actually love days when I can really spend time and attention, cleaning furry dust bunnies out from under cabinets, clearing off the accumulated clutter on the desks, re-arranging, etc.  When I get done it feels so fresh and just livens the spirit of the house.  It's like an instant mood lifter.   

I'm getting excited b/c I get to meet Takoda from Spirit Tribe tomorrow!  One of my wishes recently was to meet more of my online friends in the flesh, and its happening! 

EAGLE VISION

I just wanted to share this photo b/c I think it's rad.  This is a wall in Kerrville, and I always see it but I finally decided to take my picture next to this big guy.   

The eagle brings us into new awareness through flight, showing us to see a higher perspective and new way off seeing.  As well as using our timing and accuracy to grasp what we are after before it is gone.  It is a visionary, expanding our spirit and asking us to go deeper into our quest.  To involve ourselves in acting upon our missions.  Also to look to see if we are in balance, or our of balance in our lives.  It gives us faith in the healing process, whether its physical or emotional.  It reminds us that we have the freedom to choose our own paths, and to respect that in others as well.  It shows us to be courageous in the face of our fears, to expand our spiritual awareness and to learn that the good and bad in life both have its place to create balance. 

So many strong messages this sacred animal brings.  I'm glad I decided to stop for this photo even if just to bring this awareness back into focus in my own life.
