THREADS // T-SHIRT DRESS PART 3

Part 3 of the T-shirt dress series with Tobi!  This 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!

Check out other styles on Tobi, they have lots of cute dresses, skirts, crop tops, jumpsuits, rompers, maxi dresses & so much more!  First time customers get 50% OFF THEIR PURCHASE!!!

MOOREA SEAL'S 52 LIST PROJECT + A GIVEAWAY

I am beyond stoked and excited for my friend Moorea, who has just published her very first book, the 52 Lists Project!!!  I remember so long ago when she started sharing these weekly lists on her blog.  They were so inspiring and fun to do, and I followed along for quite a while.  When I caught wind that she would be turning them into a book, I was so incredibly happy!  I'm a list girl.  I love making lists, and these ones are so fun b/c they are all about our own hopes, desires, memories, and ways to further get in touch with ourselves. 

I thought I would fill out one of the pages and share it here with you guys!!!  Below are 'words that warm my heart'...

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.

As I was uploading these images the Typo Negative song Black No. 1 popped into my head, haha.  It's been years since Ive heard that song, but it was like my anthem when I was 15.  Funny how stuff comes back to you like that.  I wore this outfit last friday when James and I went on a date.  It had been so long since we had gone out just for fun, and it was so needed.  When your in a relationship for a long time, inevitably there are highs and lows.  And during the lows it can be so important to get back to the two of you.  It can be hard sometimes with all the day to day stuff going on, and for us, weve had alot of big emotional changes happen in our life over the past 8 years weve been together.  Working through these times together is challenging, and can even rock your foundation.  When that happens, its time to start building it back up, brick by brick.  Getting out of our day to day space is big for us, especially for me b/c I'm home all day everyday.  I can tend to be a big hermit, literally only going to the post office for weeks on end.  So when we do get out to do something other than grocery shop, its always a nice detour from the daily.

I haven't been on my blog as much as I'd like the past few weeks.  I'm in full on makeover mode in my studio and back room.  I'm redoing my studio from the ground up and it's been a huge task to weed out the things I don't use or need anymore.  I'm a bit (alot) of a packrat.  Ive been PURGING.  Getting rid of things left and right.  And I'm still not done.  Now I want to do every room in my house again.  It has been so freeing.  I have a full size couch piled sky high in our garage of things I'm letting go of.  I'll share the makeover when I'm done!  And Ill be sharing pics on my instagram through the process.  Ive never done a whole room makeover before.  Ive rearranged my rooms hundreds of times, always using everything I already own, which is pretty much all stuff that's been handed down to me.  It's exciting to create my dream studio space.  Eeeekkkk!!!  I can't wait to sit down and create my next magazine in this fresh space!
