Hello Monday.  I thought I would be feeling a little hungover from my wine last night, but luckily that is not the case!  James made Roman Saltimbocca for dinner, which calls for wine, which means I drank wine along with cooking with it...  ha ha.  I rarely ever drink wine actually, so my two glasses were all I needed.  I had full intentions to go to yoga this morning, as it's already been a month since Ive been, but found out last night James worked today.  I thought he was off.  So instead, I'll do some yoga and other movement at home today.  I'm also going to dive deeply into magazine creating today as well.  I have about 30+ emails to respond to, and it's time I get really organized with what needs to be accomplished on this baby.  Time to focus, focus, focus.

Tonite we will be celebrating the airing of Uncommon Grounds, La Colombe's new show.  So I want to get some things done today so I can be free as a bird tonite with my hunny.  He's even going to cook a steak dinner in celebration!!!  What!  I'll share more about this next week.  But if you really want to know, go check out the new site that we just released yesterday for Skyine Fever!!!  There will be a blog post coming later today that will share more...

As for this outfit... isn't this Flying Tomato shirt so pretty?  I have way less black in my closet that I did 15 years ago, mainly having two fluffy white babies makes it hard to have dark colored clothes without always being a hairy monster myself.  I just love this top though.  And it is INSANELY amazing with this Sailor's Omen necklace.  Like made-for-each-other crazy good.

Just wanted to share that my boy has a new website for Skyline Fever!  We are pretty excited.  Go check it out if you want. :)

I have re-decorated and rearranged rooms in my home multiple times, but this is the biggest makeover Ive ever done from the ground up.  On my birthday in June we sold my parents house, which was a long time coming, and even though it broke my heart to let go of my childhood home, there is a big blessing in it all from my parents for our future.  From this I allowed myself one big splurge to makeover my whole studio.  My whole life I have outfitted my home with hand me down furniture, thrift finds, etc.  Which is really wonderful and has made my home very homey and often sentimental to me.  In my studio space I always just made it work with what I had, but I allowed myself to create my dream studio, and it felt like the biggest birthday gift ever from my parents.  I am so grateful for this space and everytime I walk in the room to create I am filled up with gratitude. 

My biggest goal was to be able to transform my studio from a jewelry studio to a jewelry/ magazine writing space.  Before my jewelry supplies cluttered two huge desks and it was hard to even think in this space unless I was submerged in jewelry design.  Over the past year I have made jewelry less and less b/c of the magazine and Skyline Fever. So now I have all my jewelry supplies tucked away in this desk with drawers where I can easily access them if I'm inspired to do so, and have also created an inspiring place to write my magazine.  I sit at this desk with the window open, watching the deer outside, usually with Banjo b/c he loves watching the deer too.  It is now a space I can go to to sit and daydream about the magazine and feel super inspired.  The whole feel of this space has just shifted incredibly. 

A little side note: I do NOT think you have to have the perfect space to create, ever.  I think it's often an excuse so many of us make to not create something, by not having the right space.  My dream of starting my own business years ago began on a card table behind my couch in a 3x6 space.  If you have the passion, you make it work, regardless!  That being said, there is also nothing wrong with creating a beautiful space to create in if you are able to.  It can be truly inspiring to do so.  I'm very grateful to have this space, but I would never stop creating if I did not have it.

A few weeks ago we had some weather that was such a tease.  For about 3 or 4 days it was below 70 in the mornings, and stayed beautiful throughout the day.  I really start looking forward to Autumn as soon as I feel the first signs of the season changing.  It is my favorite season of the year, and I can feel every fiber in my being start to burst with joy of its forthcoming.  I think alot of people feel that.  Just this morning, Sadie posted a new blog post on the Bohemian Collective called Going Inward: 6 Ways to Benefit from the Autumnal Shift, so I know that feeling is started to fleet across us in many areas of the states.

I'm loving this whole outfit from Element Eden.  It's not very often I find myself styling so many pieces from one place in one outfit, but it all just flowed together so well.  This flannel is so cozy.  It's a bit thicker than most, and I know I will be wearing it alot this upcoming season, hopefully by many, many campfires.

As soon as I saw this snake muscle tank I fell in love.  The feel of it immediately reminded me of Steve Earle's album art from Jerusalum.  Different, but just has that Steve Earle feel to it, which is what stole my heart, b/c well... Steve Earle.  Enough said.

I also wanted to mention how beautiful Cassandra's work is.  Her Oli Rose Collection jewelry is so well crafted and timeless.  I'm honored to have a few of her pieces in my collection.  I think they pair flawlessly with turquoise which is my staple.

Back to magazine creating!  My head has kind of been in the clouds or in emails the past few days.  xo
