How to Wear it Wednesday 6.22.16

Whew! It. Is. HOT!!! lol Sorry about that y'all, but no matter how much you think that you are ready for Summer here in Texas, you are never completely prepared when it hits.  This week, I put together an outfit that I think will at least make you look cool.

Wooden Leaf Key Chain from Feath & Kee

Thanks to the rain that we have had, everything is still green despite the heat.  This key chain is a new addition to our shop, and was inspired by all of the green leaves.  I started out with reclaimed pine, burned the veins, then finished with acrylic paint. Before I sealed everything with clear acrylic, I added a layer of green glitter, so has some sparkle.

Cotton Maxi Skirt from LoreTree

African wax printed cotton was a perfect choice for this Tibetian inspired skirt from LoreTree. The skirt's design allows it to be adjusted specifically to you for a perfect fit.

Leather Sandals from Nikola Leather Goods

These made to order sandals from Nikola Leather Goods can be customized with a variety of colors.  They are made from cow leather with rubber soles.

Large Straw Tote from karenlukacs

karenlukacs took a sisal straw tote that was on it's way out, and completely re-did it.  I love the sturdy leather handles that she gave it, as well as the beautiful new lining.  This is just a great bag!

Elvin Hair Slide from Beadmask

Sculpted from leather, then painted a metallic rust, this leaf hair slide Beadmask is just the thing to keep your hair tamed.

Jasper Leaf Earrings from CassieVision

These hand carved Jasper leaves have been fitted with silver plated French wires to create a beautiful pair of earrings.  Find them at CassieVision.

Eco-Friendly Tube Top from Soul Role

This one of a kind bag from DesertValleyCrafts was made from hand dyed fabrics, using plant based dyes.

Hand Printed Crop Top from brilliantstranger

How to Wear it Wednesday 1.13.16

I think that this week's outfit would be great for date night, but can also work well for day time too.  Everything is handmade and from Etsy.

From Feath & Kee, is this pair of heart earrings.  I feel that they represent the classic red Valentine's Day heart.  Or, at least the classic red heart that I think of when I think of Valentine's Day.  I cut, sanded, shaped and then painted these by hand.  They have stainless steel posts, and are one of a kind like all of our earrings.

How to Wear it Wednesday 9.23.2015

It's officially Fall! Which means that it has cooled off enough here in Texas to the point that frying an egg on the asphalt might take you awhile.  I love the bright colors of this week's outfit. Just right for a not too hot day.

Pink Glitter Earrings from Feath & Kee

This week, I chose a pair of pink earrings from our shop.  Made from recycled wood, they are light weight. A coat of glitter paint gives them sparkle.  They are truly one of a kind.  I could make a similar pair, but the wood is shaped and sanded by hand.  Each individual earring is going to be a little different.

Multi-Color Leaf Pins from Cassie Vision

Continuting with color, this set of ten hair pins from CassieVision will add little pops of color in your hair.  The beads are made from howlite and wood.
