In case you missed my instagram or facebook announcement a few days ago, I'm excited to announce that the next Bohemian Collective Magazine will be available for purchase on 11/11, the upcoming new moon, in just a few short days!  I'll let everyone know where it's available to buy on the day of the release.

Ive been pretty MIA in the online world lately, but I'm going to try to share a few more sneak peeks on instagram leading up to the release.

OUTFIT DETAILS: tank top - skyline fever // bell bottoms - poor pitiful pearl // leather cuff - puresoul holistics // turquoise cuff - the whimsie // rings - night gypsy 83


So my absence in this space grew bigger than I thought it would this month.  But I can happily announce that I finished the magazine!  It's being uploaded for print and should be released in the next two weeks for sale!  I'm so excited to be done and get it out in the world.  It's been an intense 4 months of working on it, this one took me longer than the last two.  After this one I'm going to take a little break from the mag for a while and focus on other things for a bit.  I won't be saying goodbye, just giving it a rest for a bit.  This one tapped me out and I think it's time to recenter myself and pick up in places that have suffered these last few months b/c of it... for example this blog, and the boho blog, my home and daily chores, skyline fever, and a few other things. 

I was going to have the mag printed through a different company this time, and be the one to physically ship them out myself, but last minute yesterday I had a little freak out and realized I just don't want to go there yet.  I'm not ready.  I want to make that transition in the future b/c I will be able to offer the magazine for a little less than I can now, but there will be alot that goes into that change, and at this moment in my life I realized I needed to say no, keep it simple, and let someone else handle the check outs, and the shipping and customer service.  My email inbox was so full that I wasn't able to receive or send emails this weekend.  It's time for a change.  And if you have followed me on instagram at all, this isn't the only aspect of my life I am putting change into.  It's happening from all angles.  Once I get some more free time I'll be able to get more into it all here on the blog.  I have lots to share!

On to this cute outfit.  I look like I'm 14 here, I know.  Ha ha.  But these bell bottoms are so freakin rad!  I sent my favorite little cutoffs over to Shauna of Poor Pitiful Pearl and she turned them into these!!!!  My 15 year old heart would of died if I had these in my wardrobe then!  I adore them.  She can do the same for you with any of your cutoffs!!!  I love how she recycles so many fabrics, nothing goes to waste.  Most of the jeans she revamps get turned into bloomers, so instead of throwing out the bottom part after cutting them off, she uses them for scraps for these!  Perfect!

And James and I decided to put our Love Wild design on another tank.  I love my red tee.  When we first got them in I wasn't sure I was going to b/c red is one of my least favorite colors, and believe it or not, that tee is probably one of the most worn tees in my whole closet.  I adore it.  So, why not make it in a tank too?  It's now available in the shop!  And we made a sale section too and added a few items we are going to discontinue making after they sell out!  More coming soon!

A WEEKEND WITH KATELYN

Katelyn & Laura

Before time slips away from me I wanted to take a moment to share a little of my weekend with Katelyn.  We have been friends for 6+ years, after meeting in an online photography forum.  We began chatting and the rest is history.  We both have a deep love for photography and have worked together on many shoots, including several for the Bohemian Collective.  It had been a while since we had worked together in this way, so I had her come to my house to shoot one of the editorials for the next magazine issue.  This was the first time we had ever spent time together just the two of us.  Usually her two precious kiddos are with her and sometimes her hubby.  You never know how the dynamics are going to go when you are so used to being with someone in a certain context, and it was so nice! 

It's so wonderful having a friend you can be completely yourself with, have real conversations with and never feel embarrassed or ashamed, and even be able to have some rough patches of emotions with, and be able to work through them and still remain close.  Weve both been through alot and have gone through many personal changes since we met.  I think we have both taught each other a bit about forgiveness, working through fears or jealousy, being vulnerable, and being there, just simply being there.  We go wayyyyyy beyond the surface with our relationship, and that I am grateful for.

And we rocked a really fun photoshoot together for the mag that I can't wait to share!  We skinny dipped.  We ate breakfast together on my back porch.  She watched me sit on the couch with a migraine ( so much fun, right? ).... It was so quick, but so nice!

OUTFIT DETAILS: dress - ppla // bra - free people // necklace - wandering bones // leather bracelets - oli rose collection // labradorite ring - bella & chloe // booties - chicwish // dreamcatcher - of the wolves


Hello babes!  New Moon, Monday, A New Day.  I have been super off with my blogging lately b/c life has filled me up between working on the magazine and personal stuff.  After having one of the worst migraines of my life the other day, I really got serious about looking deeper into some health issues that have been concerning me for a while.  I am taking action through diet & lifestyle changes, and made an appointment for a whole body checkup and to talk to my doctor about getting a full panel blood work done up.  I spent a day pretty stressed out about it all, but I feel like I'm taking the appropriate road and will keep on this journey to total wellness one day at a time through making the correct choices for myself.  I feel like this journey started about a year ago with my breakdown of realizing I was working too hard and needed to find more balance in my life.  I feel like I have really found that over the course of the past year, but now it's time to focus on other internal issues, while still keeping that balance of work and rest.  So though I may not being showing up to my blog as much as I'd like, and I have fallen way behind on collaborations and commitments I have made to many people, hopefully everyone will understand.  It will all get done in right timing, I'm sure of it.  Same with the magazine.  If it takes me a little longer than I want to get it out, so be it.  I'm not willing to throw my health out of balance for anything right now.  I'm taking it very seriously this time around. 

As for this lovely outfit, I'm super sad this dress isn't available anymore bc it's so wildly comfy, but ppla has lots of other cute & cozy attire.  Same with these booties... Ive had them for a few years now and still love them.  The gorgeous necklace from wandering bones & leather jewelry from oli rose is still available though! 

This little corner of my home is still my favorite nook.  I love the lighting that comes through the window.  It's now Banjo's favorite spot too.  He sits by the windowsill and looks out at the birds and bugs.  He loves it a night when the bugs come out on the window.  This windowsill is full of old bottles, crystals and knick knacks and he is so good about knocking things over.  I'm really surprised by this actually!  He is growing and changing so much.  We are so wildly crazy about him!!!  I'll have to share an update about him soon. 

I'm hoping I can find a new balance and check in here more often that I have been... but if not, you know why.  xoxo
