uncommon objects

One of my favorite stores on South Congress in Austin is uncommom objects. It's an array of antiques and oddities from house hold goods to mounted animal heads. There is something there for everyone....a peek into peoples treasures and trinkets that at one point in time they cherished. Pictures, memorabilia, surgery kits to little dolls. I documented my last trip there to share the odd ball items that they sell. Come and take a look.I apologize for the amount of pictures you are about to see.

Next time you are on South Congress in Austin I hope that you stop in to take a gander.

XOXO

ruche

I want to tell you about my new favorite site for shopping..... it's ruche! I want to show you all the treasures you can buy there. I'm going to have to try to limit the amount of images I post because believe me I want everything! I have selected my top favorite items. Tell me what you think and make sure to check out their site shopruche.com! 

I don't wear bracelet's but I think these would be an attention grabber!

wild flowers

Today is a beautiful Saturday! The Mister and I decided to check out the wildflowers growing in the fields next where we live. It was an amazing site to see. Good thing we brought our camera to capture the moment..... we really are lucky to live where we do. All the undeveloped property is full of wild flowers this time of year and makes for a lovely setting. I must say I felt very pretty running through the fields.

I love these boots and would never think I would find them at Dots... but they are my "go to" boots now and I usually wear them with skirts and dresses. You will hardly ever see me in jeans.

                   

The fields were covered with little tiny butterflies. They kept fluttering all around us. It was truly magical.

Everyone thinks this ring is super huge... which it is but I love it.

I hope you enjoyed this post. I'm trying to document what I wear on a day to day basis.

Tell me what you think.... I would love some comments!

Festival clothing....

With ACL getting closer and the weather getting hotter I'm on the prowl for Festival clothes. I'm totally inspired by Sienna Millers effortless style.... and her not so "put together" look. I found some items that are less expensive for those of us that are on a budget but still want to be fashion forward. There are some key pieces that Sienna has in her wardrobe that are timeless and can be worn over and over again..... especially if your style is Boho-chic. Here's what I found. Enjoy!

This look for Less

Some of the other items you can get at your local thrift store or flea market. The grey shirt you can get anywhere as well as the chunky bangles and silver necklace. Claires is another option for add on accessories too. Once you have the key items you can mix and match with different outfits. 

Let me know what you think and where you get your key pieces and Boho-chic items from.

Put a Bow on it

So as you know in the last post I told you that I have been published in a book titled "The Hat Shop"... I wanted to give you a look at the other felt headbands and bows that I have created. I sell them at First Thursday and on Etsy. Take a quick gander. Super cute for young girls to young women. I enjoy wearing them to add a pop of color to my every day wardrobe.

I hope you have enjoyed my bows. They run from $5 to $15.

The Hat Shop

So I can finally let the cat out of the bag..... I've been published! This is a first for me so I'm on cloud nine. I had to keep it under wraps for a few months but the book "The Hat Shop" has finally come out. I was approached by Susanne Woods (The former Editor of (C&T Publishing) on Etsy.com to be selected with 24 other designers to feature there work in "The Hat Shop". I couldn't believe it. Why me? I don't know but there I am as one of the contributors. There are some really talented women in this book and I feel so lucky to be a part of it. Here is a look at some of the contributors work.

There is my work. Black and Grey headband.
