I can hardly believe it's already the weekend.  It feels like it was just saturday.  The days, weeks and months have just been flooding together this year.  Everything is moving so fast. 

Ive been working on my third issue of the Bohemian Collective Magazine, and each time I begin this process I seem to forget the amount of detail work that comes in to play, especially in the first month, and then in the last month.  It takes me 3-4 months to create one issue since I'm doing it all by myself.  The first month is spent in total brainstorming mode, sending a million emails, waiting for a million replies, hoping things work out, but creating tons of back up plans just in case... My brain literally goes in a million directions.  I can feel my blood racing through my body when I'm in this mode.  It's exhilarating and exhausting, but so exciting!  It's definitely easy for me to burn out quickly though, so my self care is SO important during this time.  I'm really happy that a friend has asked me to join her for yoga class each week b/c I will be looking forward to that reset each week during this crazy creative time.  If I don't slow down and fill that well up I will get sick.  With the way time feels like its moving so quickly these days, it feels like I won't be able to keep my head above the water, but I know I will.  One day at a time.  Creating a magazine is unlike any other thing I have created before.  I'm still pinching myself for the fact that I'm in the middle of working on my THIRD magazine issue!  Wow.  Holy Wow. 

Btw, if your new here and are curious where you can find the first two issues, they are available through the links here.

About this outfit... it seriously makes me so happy.  All of these pretty pastel colors together, the flowers, the fringe, the kimono doodles, the rings... It's like a fresh spring smile on my body!!!

When I saw this Old Spanish Trail top from Idylwild I fell in love.  Being from Bandera, one of the oldest restaurants around is the OST, and even though I never eat there, its a beautiful piece of history we have in our little town.  I have memories of going there alot from my childhood, always wanting to play the jukebox.  Besides that, it's just a bad ass little tank, as are all of their shirts!

Since doing my latest lookbook for the Bohemian Collective, Laurel Canyon, I'm completely in love with shades of white on white, or really cream colors... It's not really a color I gravitate towards alot, but now I think I will more often.  I'm loving layering in this color palette. 

I'm really working on getting my closet down to only what I really love and feel joy from.  Two days ago I filled up 3 huge trash bags full of clothes to let go of and it felt so good.  I feel so much light.  I do this every couple of months, and every time I do I feel a bit lighter.  I want to do the rest of my house again now too. 

Yesterday James and I met up with some friends for yoga class and it was just what I needed.  Ive been trying to make myself do some at home each day, but I have a hard time making myself focus long enough to stay in poses for very long.  My brain is so active and I get easily distracted.  A class setting is so good for me b/c I love to follow along and just surrender into whatever I'm prompted to do.  I always walk away with the biggest smile, the best feeling, and so much energy after class.  I feel like I'm going in so many different directions right now between creating the next magazine, working on my new studio space, helping James with Skyline Fever, so many collaborations I have to work on, and just keeping up with our home and life.  Trying to always find that balance of doing and being.  Busy and Quiet.  This was a good step towards that balance once again.

I'm stoked to announce that I am the very first featured curator on Moorea Seal!!!  The feature will be out first thing tomorrow morning, and there will be an entire curated collection of my favorites over on her website!  There are lots of fun extras, including a bohemian inspired pinterest board + more.  Sign up for Moorea's newsletter to get the email in the morning.  Or check out her site tomorrow and you should be able to see it there, (I can't wait to see myself!)...

Moorea and I have been online friends for several years now.  It has been a true joy to watch her grow creatively and become the woman she is today.  She is strong, brave, beautiful, creative, motivated, stays to true to herself, speaks out when her heart is called to, stands up for people, has the biggest heart for those who are in need, has an amazing eye for design, and is incredibly kind.  I'm lucky to call her my friend, even if from afar.  She is a Cancer baby like me, with our birthdays just a few days apart, and in many ways is just a kindred.  So to be featured as her first blogger curator, I'm honored.
