THREADS // CACTUS + PAISLIES

This was shot about two weeks ago when I was 29 weeks pregnant.  Right around the time I started feeling very, very... ripe.  It was wild to see how much I blossomed between my 23rd & 27th midwife appointments.  Little Ava just decided to start growing like crazy, also making me grow like crazy.  Within those weeks I could also feel her movements and kicks go from very specific areas of my belly to all over the place!  Rapid changes are happening.  I just keep reminding myself that all this extra weight will turn into beautiful breast milk for my little babe soon.  In just a short 6 weeks I will be in the clear to have a home birth!  6 weeks... that is so so soon!  The way the weeks have just been flying by.  It will be a release once we hit that mark though, just to know we will have that option that we so desire. 

I love this dress from Others Follow!!!  Another piece that will be great throughout my pregnancy and long long after.  I've been a paisley lover for as long as I can remember.  I really love the handkerchief style bottom of this dress.  It makes it flow so pretty when you walk.

I'm pretty sure this fringe hip belt is the perfect festival accessory, but since I won't be attending any festivals anytime soon, I am in love with it for going down to the river, or even just going on nature walks in the woods, so that I can be hands free.  It has the perfect little pocket for my cell phone + chapstick, or other small essentials.  And fringe is always fun, always.

You can catch a better glimpse of my tattoos in this shoot, which doesn't happen that often!

BTW, if you love Blowfish Shoes, don't forget to enter the giveaway going on!  Ends in just 2 days!! 

THREADS // NAMESAKE BRACELETS

I'm pretty sure this is my first ever no-makeup outfit post.  Ill be the first to admit, I don't usually feel comfortable in my own skin without makeup.  I hate that, but it's true.  I'm pretty sure it stems from generations of women in my family who would not leave the house without it.  Something I want to work on.  But it's hard for me, b/c I don't see myself the same in the mirror most days.  I don't have the same level of confidence without it.  Sad, isnt it?  But its the honest truth.  So, here I am.  Learning to let go.

Did you notice those beautiful bracelets???  They are named after me!  Pretty darn excited about it.  Ettika contacted me a few weeks ago about wanting to create a bracelet stack named after Roots and Feathers.  I got to pick out three bracelets to design the 'stack'.  It is now sold in their shop as the Roots and Feathers Stack.  How cool is that?   I love that they are adjustable.  I have tiny wrists so many bracelets don't fit me well.  I think the ones I picked out look great together!  They were kind enough to even send me the stack I picked out, so here they are in person.  Pretty sure these are going to be on my wrists all summer.

Bella decided to join me today for my outfit post.  Im pretty sure I was more excited about that then she was, but that's okay.  I was working on piecing together a look for an upcoming lookbook shoot with the bohemian collective, so some of these pieces are making sneak peeks.  I can't wait to get back in action with the collective.  Although this summer heat has not been that encouraging to get out in.  But soon... a new shoot will be happening!
