Ying to my Yang

Kesli and I meet 3 falls ago during our college internship and have been friends ever since! Partially because our internship was in styling and fashion show production which forced us to spend a good 80+ hrs a week together...side by side...amigo amigas. She was my partner in crime and think I would have lost my mind during those few months if it was not for her. Whether she liked it or not, she fastly became the ying to my yang.

She came over the other day to try on her new custom boots and brought her precious pooch Baylor...who of course got some Baylor colored feathers of his own...and then when Kesli took out her 2 day old ponytail and that fro popped out! I flipped!! and we just could not resist going to the park and doing an impromptu shoot with her and Baylors matching fros! We still had the SH+LS sample skirts from a previous shoot the day before so we went for it!

Since we do not have a professional camera as of yet...our iPhone 4 had to do. I used the free PEStudio editing app and the above photos are the result! Not to shabby if I do say so myself. FJ Photography is now in session and taking appointments! 

Kesli is wearing Rock On Quartz necklace, Vintage Custom Boots, You're a Natural single earring, What Goes Around bracelet in white, Feather Ring, Dream Weaver necklace (style above will not be online till 9/15), Sandy Beaches and Blue Skies beaded necklaces (also not available till 9/15), Sugarhigh + Lovestoned Hi-Lo skirt in black (available 8/13 and we are DIEing to get this one for ourselves) and our personal Leopard Print Scarf by Spell Designs (we wear this thing on the daily!)

Baylor is wearing our MINI feather extensions.

~ Be my Valentine ~ Contest

 

Valentine's Day. Ooooough! Valentines day! Its coming and there is nothing you can do to stop it. The one day of the year where all your co-workers ask off and you, the one with a 5 year boyfriend, gets to work that day while the newbee who just meet their significant other last week asked off a day before you did so her new boy toy can take her to the Olive Garden down the street. The one day of the year where you and a girlfriend will go to Taco Bell get everything you can for $20 and sit around the table with a bottle of wine laughing about all the pathetic romances you've had in the past. It's coming and it's closer than you think.  The one day of the year where people openly express their love to those they really care about. Yeah it's a day to buy flowers, gifts and candy for your significant other but it can also be expressed to friends and family around you. We think of all you junkies as family so we created this contest to express how much we love each and everyone of you! And to show our appreciation we are giving away a exclusive Dream Weaver necklace made only for this contest and a custom Rose Bud earring set!

Men, this is a perfect gift for those of you who are procrastinators and who didn't book dinner reservations yet- AHEM....we're not mentioning names :) And ladies it's a perfect gift for yourself if you 're one of those getting Taco Bell that night. The rose's are forever so you will never forget how much someone loves you and the web, well we hope it catches all your dream you have for your future romantic endeavors.

Heres how to enter:

1. Post a picture of your valentine on our Facebook wall (or twit pic @featherjunkie)- you can either upload a picture or tag The Feather Junkie in a picture. 

2. Tell us why they are your valentine and what they mean to you. 

3. Come back to the blog and post a comment with your name and a contact email

~ CONTEST ENDS FEB. 8. ~ Winner will be announced Feb. 9 ~

Daily Dose

We've made a few new earrings and started working on some new boots but the majority of todays time has been spent drinking Starbucks, pinning and tumbling all day.  It made us stop and think. Life is full of beauty. Notice it. Notice the leaves, the smiling faces, roll down your windows and watch more sunsets. Smell the rain, and feel the wind. Live your life to the fullest potential, and fight for your dreams and dance to your own music.
