BESTIE DAY DATE OUTFIT

Last week I went on a day date with my bestie to see David Sedaris speak. I had never read any of his books, or listened to anything he had done before, but I would go anywhere with her, so when she asked me it was a big ol’ YES. I’m so glad I did b/c he ended up being hilarious with a wonderful amount of inappropriateness. And he is tiny, like me, with the most fabulous wardrobe. It was an incredible thing to witness live. We grabbed a whiskey + margarita on our way which was a little over the top at 2 in the afternoon on an almost empty stomach, but man it was fun! Then we went and pigged out at Jacala’s, a mexican joint on West Ave that I hadn’t been to in about a decade. It used to me my spot with my ex, and I just never make it over there these days. It was nostalgic + so yummy.

Onto the outfit… this is what I wore that day. My favorite Kantha Bae top, called the Butterfly Top. I still can’t believe I scored this baby. It is completely embroidered, which is rare for these one of a kind pieces. I’m wild about the fit + style of it. Paired with my favorite AE jeans (so sad I can’t find these anymore). My new favorite boots from Musse + Cloud (found on Zulilly). And this necklace is coming in my next collection dropping very very soon! It will be full of moons, suns + butterflies!!! I’m very excited about this drop!

Ava has been popping into my outfit shoots lately. And she always acts silly, true to her character. So here’s a few behind the scenes.

PAREO PARADE

Pareo Parade

Kantha Bae is having a Pareo Parade today, where you can snag two pareos for $80 with code PAREOPARADE! These babies are so multi functional. You can use them as picnic blankets, to lay out in the sun and read a book on, as window curtains (I’m snagging two for this very reason), as tablecloths, baby swaddles, swimsuit sarongs, shawl, light blanket to take to a game or outdoor event, to use on living room forts with your kiddos, there are a few ways to tie them into shirts or skirts even. So many ways to use these beautiful vintage fabrics. And they all have different prints on each side, so it’s like having two in one! They are truly so so beautiful. So of course I had to prance around in my back yard after laying out the other day.

They launch at 10am CST this morning, and these babies sell out quickly, so be prepared!

THREADS // T-SHIRT DRESS PART 3

via rootsandfeathers.com

Part 3 of the T-shirt dress series with TobiThis one might not technically be a 'dress' but more of an oversized tshirt, but the long wispy sides of it make it feel like a dress.  I love love love this shirt.  It's so freaking cozy and cool.  I'm excited to wear it with my skinny jeans once I can squeeze back into them! 

For this look I layered it with some lacey bells from Nine Lives Bazaar, a twinning grey hat from Moorea Seal, and some statement accessories, like the agate necklace from Sun & Glory, cactus cuff from Little Hobo Bird & leather cuff from Flourish Leather.  This necklace from Sun & Glory was recently featured in the Free People catalog!  I'm so proud of my friend Annie and how far she has come.  Check out all her work featured on FP here!  And you might want to follow Flourish Leather on IG b/c tomorrow they are having some rad giveaways!

THREADS // T-SHIRT DRESS PART 2

Why is it such a natural thing to want to hold your belly in all photos when you are pregnant?  I never understood it before becoming pregnant, but it really is like a natural reflex!  Kind of funny. 

This is part two of styling a t-shirt dress.  This one is exactly like the one in my last post, but in a deep navy blue.  I layered this one with a bathing suit top, which I adore b/c it's so cute to use as a layering top in regular outfits too.  And the crochet vest I've had for a few years that I just love.  Flat comfy mocc booties from Minnetonka, and a hat (from Gypsy Warrior, but a few seasons ago). Necklace is from yours truly and can be found in my shop here.  The sliced leather bracelet below is from Flourish Leather.
