take a walk on the wild side

hey you, yeah, YOU, are you ready for coachella? or are you still trying to figure out what to wear/bring with you? Look no further.. 

I have literally been drooling over ALL the pieces in this California girl's shop.  Corina, the designer, whole heartedly believes that fashion should be a direct reflection of one's self-- therefore, she strives to create unique pieces for every individual. She makes anything from feather extensions, to bone necklaces/headbands/belts.. a true Native heart.

 

I cannot get enough.. Oh and heads up! If you like Wild & Free on Facebook you'll get the PROMO Code for her SALE this weekend! Woooooop, I'm down.

Oh and she's got an absolutely incredible photography page.. take a look, it's well worth it.

Be Wild. ;)

There Must Be Something In the Water

If you've been following for a while now, you know how much I'm O B S E S S E D with Spell Designs.. and anything with a twist of southwestern/native american/beach fashion. It's no surprise that I fell head over heels for Heyoka Leather.

Not exaggerating at all, have a look at the latest photos from Heyoka Leather's Spring 2011 collection.

(it's nothing less than perfection) 

See what I mean?

Ah, adore adore adore.

Kind of bummed that the 80 degree weather only lasted for two days.. but I took advantage and tanned on my roof. Anyone else have a fascination with roofs? Okay, well not really a fascination, but I just love being up there.. I get a better view, a "bigger picture" of the whole thing and it's the perfect place to go clear my head and sort my thoughts. And the breeze is pretty wonderful.. :)

I mentioned Virgin Suicides a couple posts back and decided to pick up my worn copy last night.. Reread the first few chapters and it's crazy how a book can capture your thoughts so perfectly sometimes, yano?  

It's a Doors kind of morning, jamming to Road House Blues as I get ready. Hope everyone has a fantastic day, and if you didn't get an opportunity to look up at the sky last night.. let me reassure you, the stars looked absolutely magnificent.

"What we have here is a dreamer..

someone completely out of touch with reality." Anyone else read the Virgin Suicides? It was one of my favorite books in 8th grade.. Anywho, that quote seemed to fit perfectly with the dreamcatcher (dream catcher? one word or two?) tee's I just finished up!

Here's the lot of them:

PS. Giveaway is starting TOMORROW! (or well.. today, seeing as its 12 am)

A Toast to Monday

Good morning, all! 

REMINDER: First giveaway starting sometime this week

Had a beautiful start to my week waking up for a 3 mile Sunrise walk with my mama. I haven't done that walk in quite a while and it's funny (and kind of cool) that as we walk & I talk I'm starting to notice "photographs" in the scenery. As strange as that sounds, my eyes are becoming more trained/inclined to notice what places would be gorgeous for a shot or be absolutely breathtaking if the sun where to hit just right. There's places around my neighborhood that don't look like they belong at all, and I LOVE them. When I get the chance I will definitely be stealing my mom's camera for a bit and scout the area.

And to top off my morning.. Spell Designs added new photos that I couldn't resist posting! Seriously, anything they touch turns to gold, and I'm DYING to get my hands on their designs.

 

 They REALLY need to open a shop in California

more photos on their blog !

Monday's Inspiration consists mainly of cozy things & Native American styles (what else is new? Ha, I just can't get enough)

(photos from cheyennemeetschanel, oraclefox, lightsdrivemysoul & fashionhedonism)

*not sure why some of those images turned out so small.. i switched to Aperture last night, so maybe while they were transferring? bummmmmed

Is it embarrassing to admit that this is SO me?

 I would much rather be doing dissss than going to school right about now.
