Roses
It might be vain, but I am quite enamored with my own booty in these jeans... What can I say. High rise skinnies. They're my everything. Makes me anxious to start wearing more body-conscious clothing again, after being huddled up in layers all winter.
It's Friday...
Guess this must be the week of selfies... I've been digging around in pictures from a few months ago and trying out new Lightroom filters, since I regrettably haven't taken any photos this week. It's been a bit busy, even though I can't really say what I've been up to. I tend to forget a lot of day-to-day details, and remember things in chunks...
So that's why I'm just going to recap some random stuff that went down :)
Mother's Day with Uncommon Goods + $50 Giveaway!
Happy Wednesday, everyone!
Phew… time is flying by this spring, and I realized that
Mother’s Day is coming up very shortly! I
always knew my mom was awesome. But in
my adulthood, I’ve started to truly realize
just how amazing she really is, and how wonderful, and even necessary to have this special day to honor
her. (This
page has some great ideas ;)
Recently I’ve been talking with the lovely people at Uncommon
Goods, and stealing looks at their website for Mother’s Day gift
inspiration. If you’re unfamiliar with
this company- not only do they offer unique and handcrafted products, but their
entire manifesto is one of facilitating positive change in the world. They are all about supporting artists, and
the general well-being of people, animals, and the environment.
Did you know they hold a series of panels in Brooklyn to
help small businesses? Topics include
things like how to network, implementing green practices, and using social
media tools to grow your business. I
actually went to one last month, and it was awesome!! They also do things like design challenges to
help people get their work out there, and support a non-profit with every
purchase.
Either way, their site is chock-full of stunning offerings
for Mother’s Day. It’s a really amazing
place to find a unique gift for her special day! Here
are some things that I’d like to buy for my mom J
This
salt test-tube set is pretty cool!! There
are several varieties of salt from all over the world, and they all have
different uses.
My mom also loves tea- just like I do! These
are also in test tubes, and are a ton of different varieties.
This
statement is so true, and something my mom would be totally into.
I don’t know why I think my mom would like this bag. I think she has a similar one. The print just reminds me of an adventurous
soul… it makes me happy and makes me think of her J
So time for the next part…

What's in a Name?
Hello!
How was your weekend?! Mine was amazing, but unfortunately we didn't have time to get any style photos done. So none for this week! Instead, I've got some thoughts for you...
When I started thinking about making new recordings earlier this year, I didn't know what I wanted. Up to the Moon was sounding stale to me, and I felt like I was outgrowing it. Conversations with the producer about a new direction were highly ambivalent, and I couldn't really say what I was going for.
I just wanted something new.
So fast forward a few months! The recordings are done, and they have a slightly different sound than the last ones. And when I was recently doing the redesign of my site, I was thinking about it through the lens of a future music release. I started considering not only completely different look for my online presence, and a new sound, but also a new name...
Spring Dress Wishlist
When I was looking through some of the pretty dresses at Sheinside recently, my eye kept going back to a few things-
- Style: Maxi and/ or Flowy
- Color: Apricot and/ or white
- Material: Lace and/ or crochet
I can't help it... bohemia has taken over my brain. All I want is to look like a silly hippie, dancing around at Coachella with flowers in my hair. My other thing is 90's-esque florals... go figure. I've started my annual re-watching Beverly Hills 90210 (Team Brenda!)
1. I love the print on this dress!
2. The rainbow stitching on this gorgeous maxi makes my life complete just looking at it.
3. This one... perfect to wear to the aforementioned festival. Or any festival, really. Or.... just anywhere.
4. Fairy girl dress.
5. More of a party dress. But since I'm not that fancy, I'd probably just wear it to a party in my living room :)
6. I'd really need a big floppy hat to complete this look. It's probably more Blossom than Brenda, anyway...
7. Lace! Give me all the lace!!
8. Want to wear this floral number with wedge platforms on a summer day.
Hope you are all feeling fine on this lovely day :) What spring trends are you looking to try?
