CELEBRATING THE BIRDIE

On Monday I got to celebrate my girl Bird's 30th birthday with her.  The perfect excuse to get all dolled up since we were going to meet for sushi.  (real outfit post coming soon, I haven't even had time to get them off my camera yet)  We had a really nice dinner with the yummiest sushi.  Then we went back to the coffee shop she works at in our home town to have some drinks and do karaoke.  I never in my life thought I would actually do karaoke, even that night I had made up my mind that I was not brave enough.  But alas, with a few drinks and some coaxing I found myself up there sandwiched between my two friends belting out Garth Brooks, ha ha!  And I had so much fun doing it!  Luckily it was in the 'safe bubble' as they were calling of it, of just her friends and co-workers.  So even though I got some rad pics of my Bird wearing an afro wig while belting out her tunes, I can't share those photos!  And no one got a photo of me, which Im actually kind of sad about b/c it was a landmark in my life, let me tell you.  This night also truly made me realize how much I miss my time with friends, b/c it has been slim to nothin' lately.  Oh, I also had my first Mai Thai, so there was more than one first!  Yay for firsts!

Oh yeah, and one of the best things that came out of my job at the restaurant was making friends with this girl.  The girl who at the time thought she couldn't make good friends with another girl, and I won her over. ;)

outfit details: shirt - skyline fever // pants - novella royale // necklace + earrings + bracelet + teardrop ring - roots and feathers // turquoise bracelet - soulmakes // turquoise ring - soliloquy jewelry


I think this may be one of my alltime favorite Skyline Fever designs.  And I love the loose ease and style of this dolman top.  I wear this one around the house alot with my leggings when Im just lounging.  Excited to be bringing it to his shop on a tank top soon!  And... you may want to keep your eyes out b/c his yoga pants are coming back to the shop!  (I'm wearing mine right now) (for those of you who are new to the blog, Skyline Fever is my hubby's screenprinting shop)...

After I hit publish on this I'm back at the grind in my studio... Wish I could stay and chat more, but not today... But, in case you missed it, I also blogged over at The Bohemian Collective this morning with some boho home inspiration for spring!

Lately I have been working on alot of custom pieces, and these I just had to share b/c I love them so so much.  The dreamcatcher is my favorite one Ive ever made.  All of the elements just came together.  And this is the first smudge fan Ive ever made.  Ive been wanting to make one for ages, along with a wand, so I decided to incorporate them into one.  This one is going to a sweet friend of mine and Im so honored for her to use it.  The little flag above it was a custom request for a miniature version of my Flowerchild wall hangings, and it came out just so adorable.  I love the mini size of it.  These are some of my favorite kinds of these to make.  Hopefully soon Ill be caught up with all my orders and jewelry business that I can make several of these for the shop.  In the meantime, I always take custom requests, so just message me on etsy if you would like something similar.

outfit details: kimono - spell // tshirt + hat - f21 // velvet skinnies - threadsence // moccs - minnetonka // necklace + ring // roots and feathers


This outfit kind of encompasses all of my favorite things in one... kimonos, cozy tshirts, skinny pants, moccs, hats, and jewelry.  Cozy, casual and fun.  I could wear a variation of this outfit just about everyday. 

Just as I was getting really excited that spring was just about here (a little early i know) it decided to go from beautiful sunny 70's to below freezing here in Texas.  The roads are all iced over and all the birdies are huddled up somewhere safe.  And from what I hear it is only going to get colder and colder this week.  I guess its okay for me since I will most likely be locked in doors anyway since I have so much work to do on orders (not complaining, totally blessed!!!)... so at least I don't have to be working inside wishing so bad I was outside playing!  Maybe I can really get in some good catch up so when the sun does decide to make its appearance again Ill be ready to soak her up!

The necklace I am wearing is one of the newbies in the shop.  I have been successfully keeping my goal so far this year of taking photos and sharing them on instagram as I create things and then getting them listed within a day or two.  It has changed my work flow so much and I'm loving it.  Before I would dread listing items b/c I would wait to list them all at once and would have like 40-50 things to list at a time.  And to photograph and edit and a time.  So by making this goal of listing as I go in small groups, it has changed my outlook on listing so much!  And its been kind of fun to give yall sneak peeks of things coming soon!  Make sure to follow me over on instagram for those updates!

James and I have also been working on some new Skyline Fever!  Coming very soon hopefully.  This ice cold weather is keeping us from getting outdoors to take rad photos, so I may just snapped some indoor ones... It is also keeping me from finishing up my last two shoots for my Texas Lookbooks this week.  Luckily I have one ready to go soon!

BTW, have you been enjoying the regular posts over at The Bohemian Collective?  So far we have had 3 posts from the contributors and I am just loving it.  Such good variety coming from different perspectives.  This space is going to be so rad. 

P.S. Ill be back in a bit with a new giveaway, so stay posted. xo
