new blog home.

i am very excited to announce that in the coming months this blog will be getting a facelift...actually, it will be moving to a new home with a new name! 

due to the time commitment i am dedicating to the re-branding and launching of my blog, i will be taking a short break from posting here at style of a songbird. 

please know i will keep you all updated and post the new site as soon as it goes live!

i can't begin to express how grateful i am for every single one of you. <3 

thank you for supporting me on this journey. i'll be back soon!  

bits & pieces.

happy friday! hope you've managed to stay warm this week. my blogger friend from canada said it was -30 degrees! YIKES!

here are a few of the bits & pieces of my life from the past seven days...

 

one // my new feather earrings (from this shop) came in the mail. i feel fully {me} and wonderfully {free} when i wear them. 

two // the most breathtaking sky on saturday. #thisisart

three // my sweet friend bought these fringe boots for me. total surprise. so grateful.

 

four // showered with more gifts this weekend! cowboy boots (the ones that will be boho-fied soon) and the most thoughtful gift from sweet shawnacy.

five // every tribe & nation represented at the night of worship last friday.

i'd love for you to link up your own {bits & pieces} posts! simply use the tool below!

have a wonderful weekend!

accepting & emerging.

 

You better know that in the end 

It's better to say too much 

Than to never to say what you need to say again
Even if your hands are shakin' 

And your faith is broken 

Even as the eyes are closin' 

Do it with a heart wide open

Say what you need to say

{john mayer} 

and in these declarations of what we really want to say, we free ourselves 

free ourselves from being "stuck"

...stuck in rewind

or in hopes for fast forward...

the best way is not to fight it , just go. don't be trying all the time to fix things. 

what you run from only stays with you longer. when you fight something, you only make it stronger. 

-chuck palahniuk

there is unmatched strength in this #acceptance

we are pushed forward by the wind of our release

i'm emerging into new life-giving patterns
of bravery
and honesty
with myself
and with others
 

...and it's cozy here
as i settle into my own skin.

DIY boho boots.

my mom just snagged these boots for me.

that only means one thing.

this DIY will be happening ASAP:

bits & pieces

this week's bits & pieces are a combination of fashion + art journaling. {two of my favorite things.}

one // the caption on this self portrait {taken on my lunch break} on IG said "i love having hair that looks like i feel on the inside." the red came at the perfect time. still loving it! 

two // wearing my "create" locket from her beautiful etsy shop (and my favorite flowy top). 

three // i never want to take these leggings off. 

four // i'm so glad she found a place in my art journal. i like her, with arms wide open. 

five // leaving my mark on one of my sweet artist friend's {traveling} journal. 

please feel free to share your link to your own bits & pieces post. and spread the word! <3
