Homeward

|| dress + boots + necklace: anthropologie ||

Last time I wore this dress I had my natural hair color, and also wore my hair differently. 

Not gonna lie, sometimes I miss the brunette. But I'm very much happy with the blonde at the moment. My goal is to go a lot lighter than this, which it's a slow process that requires a lot of patience -something I lack most of the time. 

So this one thing coming up is very much exciting. If you remember on a post, a couple months ago, I mentioned that my church band and I (The Anchor Collective) went to Georgia to record music that we had written. Well, our cd "The Homeward Ep" (sounds so surreal to say) is finally here!! and we are having a release party next friday the 19th. 

This has been a very exciting project, in collaboration with artists Felicia Fish who did all of the cd artwork, and poets Brandon Lubin and Nick Murray. 

So, If you live close by or would like to travel from afar or just happen to be in town, we would love for you to come. It's a night you don't want to miss.

An Exciting Journey

-

Skirt- Urban Outfitters

boots and top- Anthropologie

cuff- Free People

Bear with me. This pictures took some extra, extra! effort to edit; and even then they didn't come out exactly how I wanted them. But oh well, I like this outfit too much to not post it.

Changing the subject a bit. Tomorrow my church band and I will be traveling to Atlanta GA to record some of our original songs. We are so beyond thankful and excited God has opened this opportunity and so grateful for Eagle's Landing Church for opening their doors and offering to help in this exciting journey.

 See you all in a week! Atlanta here we come!!!

Embroidered dress

dress- Nectar

boots- Anthropologie

It seems like yesterday Chris and I, and our friends were just finding their significant others in the so called 'dating days', then we got married, and well now a lot of them are already having/have their first baby. Crazy, but awesome! 

I do want a baby (in the far future) but I don't want to go through the whole 9 month body change process. I have a feeling I'm going to be the worst person to be around when pregnant. I can already see me repelling people. Ha! 

In other news, this is my new favorite dress. The fact that is a copycat of the Marina Embroidered dress from Free People-for a much lesser price- makes me like it even more. And because of its swingy/loose shape, I think it would make a perfect maternity dress in the future, don't you think? Ok... enough about babies.. yikes!

The Kimono

-

Kimono- Lulu's

boots-Anthropologie

dress- F21 (old)

This whole thing of posting once a week, feels more like a month has gone by between each post.

I promise, I'm still here.

I always wonder if I will ever get to 80, and still post on this blog.

Lol, am I the only one? ...

So, I've worn this kimono a lot since I've gotten it.

I always wait a while before re-wearing something. But you know what? life is short, and I'm going to wear it and re-wear it as many times as I want to, maybe even when I'm 80 (and maybe blog about it too?) 0_o

The canopy

A few weeks ago I found this dead end road. 

Of course, as soon as I spotted this place, I knew I wanted pictures there.

It may just be my favorite spot yet, hands down.

No traffic, a beautiful canopy, a rooster calling in the distance -yes! that happened.

I got jealous of the two houses on the sides, at the end of the road. 

One of them was just being built, and I jokingly told Chris "It's our future home!!"

...One can dream right?

What a beautiful place. 

Woman up, and do it!

You can't really tell by these pictures, nor any of my old posts for the past month, but I've been having trouble with my neck lately.

-getting older is not fun-

I finally went ahead and placed an appointment with a super awesome acupuncturist, thanks to one of my friends who recommended it, and I feel so much better.

So here, writing to you, is relieved Lizette! :D

In other news, I gotta be honest, I was so close to start working on my rug on Saturday, to finally finish it and show you, but I chickened out.

I know the design I want to paint on it, but you know -paint- Once on the fabric it wont come out, so there's no space for mistakes.

I promise I haven't forgotten about it. 

Crossing fingers I could have it ready on a post by next week! 

I just gotta woman up, and do it!

If I was told I could only wear one outfit forever- you know, like a cartoon- it will be this one. 

I just love everything about it. 

So some awesome things: 

On Saturday I got featured on the post "Bloggers I Love" by Josie from Fine and Feathered

What a great experience to be featured next to some great bloggers out there, and to be in one awesome blog.

Thank you so much, Josie, for this opportunity and your kind words! <3

In other exciting news, the day I wore this outfit, we celebrated the engagement of two amazing friends, Scott and Jamie.
