Painted Nature

All of the feather goodies you see on Kesha and Julian Casablancas of The Strokes are now available at a lower price point through our new line Painted Nature! Priced from $25-$200 everyone can get in on the action. From feathers and bones, to porcupine quills, every piece is unique and natural. And of course Painted Nature's parent company Fauxtale is still churning out amazing clothes and headdresses. Stay tuned to the LA times around fashion week for an editorial spread featuring both companies! And until the Painted Nature website is up and running, jewelry can be purchased on etsy at etsy.com/shop/katemariethompson, or visit fauxtaledesign.com to view the collection!

Summer summer summer

It's here, it's here! Well sort of. Now that the madness of finals week is over, it is officially summer break and it's time to bust out all of my best warm weather attire. One slight problem though, Los Angeles and mother nature are not cooperating with each other to make the sun and heat come out. Every time I think it's happening....boom shut down again with 65 degree weather and only slight sunshine. It makes me want to shake mother nature and scream DON'T YOU REALIZE I'M FROM TEXAS AND ONLY APPROVE OF 80 AND ABOVE. So for the time being I'm stuck wearing a jacket and jeans, but that doesn't mean I can't dream of all the things I will buy and wear in the lovely summer heat. I am eternally in love with shopnastygal.com and can't wait to buy some new goodies!

  

Spending some money on these new summer clothes seems like a good way to beat my weather blues! Now all I need is to add a little color into my wardrobe and my skin tone and I'll be set for the summer. Oh and possibly a day off as well....if you're listening fairy godmother....

The invention of a lifetime

What is this you ask? Oh just me and my bestie romping around in a full body pink jumpsuit. The OnePiece! It ranks as my second favorite thing to come out of the UK, the first being my lovely roommate of course. I came across this perfect invention at the Flaunt Magazine Party for Coachella. A short video and some jumping up and down later this baby was mine! I haven't wanted to take it off since and I probably never will.

A fauxtale Story

On earth day it only seems fitting to shamelessly promote the line that I slave for. Lifetime artists Toree Arntz and Kate Thompson's line of handcrafted couture pieces are sure to make your heart fill with envy. From ornate headdresses to unique jewelry and clothing, Fauxtale's collections offer the best in specialty couture with a twist. And the proof is in the pudding, check out these photos from a past edition of Malibu Magazine:

Information is available on their website Fauxtaledesign.com or by clicking on the top picture of my blog profile (shameless promotion remember?). Check. It. Out.
