outfit details: vest - gifted from my auntie // top - f21 // skinnies - american eagle // boots - lulu*s.com // necklace - roots and feathers

Lulu's sent me these boots to style up for my Halloween costume, and I didn't realize how much I would love them in my everyday wear too.  I kind of feel like a badass in them, ha ha... which anyone who knows me can tell you I barely have a badass bone in my body, although at times I wish I did.  And you may just be seeing these jeans in almost every outfit post for a while b/c I really have been living in them.  My aunt got me this vest last year... she has good taste, huh?  This top, Ive had for several years now and I love how versatile it is.  I wear it alot unbuttoned and over other shirts.  I have a thing for sheer flowy tops (I think I get that from my mom), and this charcoal color!!  Such a good color.  I know I have already worn and shown this necklace several times on the blog, but I have decided it fits perfectly into a new collection I am working on inspired by my home state, Texas, so I am saving it for the lookbook.  But if anyone wants to custom order one before hand just email me!

I am sooooooo freakin inspired right now about this new line.  It's still Roots and Feathers, and very much so... Anyone who has been following my creative arts for sometime now knows I get inspired about a certain thing and then it sticks for a while!  Last season it was mermaids and seashells... now, its Texas.  Ive been so inspired by the view out of my window on long drives, and by texas music.  I have always listened to Steve Earle, but lately I can't seem to take it out of my player.  All I can think about right now is where I want to shoot the lookbook, how I want it to look, wishing I had the right model or photographer for it, etc.  My brain gets consumed, literally, when I get inspired like this.  I'm forcing myself to get my other obligations done in between creating.

Speaking of, I need to go get to work!  Much love!!!

outfit details: kimono - frolic apparel // velvet tank - mamie ruth // floral tank - gifted // jeans - american eagle // boots c/o chicwish // necklace - roots and feathers

So, lets just talk about this kimono for a minute.  I'm so so in love.  Its so pretty and lightweight and feminine.  The cut is absolutely perfect, the sleeves have just the right bell to them.  In love.  I will be wearing this baby seasonally.  Sadly this beautiful print is currently sold out, BUT Frolic Apparel has so many new pretties, and is continually creating beauties with new prints, so no need to worry.  My current favorite kimono she has is this beautiful black and white feather print one that is longer, oh my.  Jess knows how to pick fabrics!  Speaking of fabric, I kind of freaked out when I saw she started making bell bottoms, especially in this absolutely knock out print!  Somehow I only recently stumbled across her shop after she was featured in one of etsy's daily emails.  I immediately emailed her to tell her how beautiful her work was, and we found out quickly we had a mutual friend in common, Kinsey from Sincerely, Kinsey, is one of her best friends!  She had seen my blog through Kinsey, so it was a rad first connection (something I love about the arts community).  Through just a few emails I can already say Jess is a sweetheart and I can absolutely see how they are great friends. 

I wore this outfit the other night to see my friend who is in town from California... except by the time 7 rolled around its was freezing and I had to change out the kimono for a cozy sweater and I threw on my cowgirl boots just b/c we were meeting up at a local cowboy bar in Bandera and I thought it would be fun(ny).  She is actually coming over tonite for a sleepover!  I'm excited to chill with her, drink some Maker's mark and show her some Portlandia episode's b/c somehow she has not seen them!!!  By the way, you should check her out b/c she interview a ton of really amazing bands on her website, Christie Gee.
