Haute Haute Boho

This is me drinking iced coffee on a particularly hot day.  That's what I love about hot days, you get to drink coffee all day and make it a "cold brew" and that's totally okay...normal, even. Cuz who drinks hot coffee on a hot day?? People who clearly have serious problems. Hahaha.  Just kidding. It's probably those same people who like hot yoga on hot days also. Kidding again! Hahah man that cold brew's really kicking in! I'm a stand up comic over here!!

Have a great day my loves..and feel free to shop the look below!

Indian Summer

Sometimes I feel like I was a Native American princess in a past life.  Native Americans are thought to be extremely intuitive and believe that all things are alive and carry an energy on this earth.  Along with those beliefs, I have a strong propensity for wearing crystals for its energetic properties, and have a dreamcatcher in my bedroom not only for its beauty, but to actually ward off bad dreams.

The only thing that's missing is a tee pee in my home, and I'm actually getting one of those soon. ;)

What about you? Are there any aspects from the Native American culture that you can relate to in your own life?

Festival Fashion

Well ladies, Coachella is just around the corner!! Do you guys have all your Festival outfits ready??

I'm excited to be finally going!! Nothing better than being surrounded by live music, friends, and all the Festival Fashion, of course!

This bag fits all my daily-bag-must-have criteria: Fringey, suede and ginormous.  Might be too big for Coachella though. Better off wearing my smaller Spell Designs crossover fringe bag. Ya!

This statement necklace is everything...

This is my very first Mink Pink top I ever owned, from four yeas ago, and it's STILL a goodie! I can't believe how much the company has grown!

A hat might be a good call, since it's in the desert and everything...

I own way too many pairs of these Bells for Trader Joe's to handle.

What will YOU be wearing to Coachella???

Be Young, Wild and Free

I discovered Wild & Free Jewelry while casually browsing on Instagram last summer.  I was taken by all the beautiful photos of custom made boots and immediately contacted Corina Brown, the designer and owner of Wild & Free Jewelry. Excited at the prospect of having custom made boots for myself that no one else would have, I went ahead and ordered two pairs!  She basically finds vintage cowboy boots for you, which she refurbishes and adorns to your liking, whether it be with lace and floral (me, me!) or a southwestern vibe with turquoise (me, too, me, too!) or any ideas you may have, really.  I love that not only will no one else have your custom made boots, (since you are creating it together) but the right and left boot aren't exactly identical either.  I really appreciate finding unique pieces like this, when even today's boutiques seem to carry mass produced product.  Not to mention that Wild & Free Jewelry's hippie bohemian vibe is all me! :)

Not only does she make amazing custom made boots, but she also has a plethora of other unique pieces like rings, headdresses, jewelry, tie dyed short shorts (perfect for Coachella, which is coming up!!) and flannels.  I'm loving my most recent Wild & Free Jewelry piece, a vintage mint and lavender flannel which she fringed in the back and added studs on the shoulder and alongside the top of the fringes on the back, as per my request.  

Throw on a white tank, cut offs, boots and some turquoise and crystal jewelry and I was feeling Wild & Free, indeed! xoxo
