The Daydreamer’s Wishlist

To help get your creative mind going on gift ideas, I asked a couple of buds around the office what their wishlist consists of this season. Above is my “little” winter wishlist.

Gifts such as these would be great for the daydreamer, baker, reader or eco-friendly fashionista in your life. My holiday wishlist consists of:

Head in the Clouds Knit Hat (Code: ART013) since that’s where my head is most the time anyway

Hippie Burlesque Organic Skirt in merlot (Code: MAD002) because it’s ubber soft & makes me feel pretty

Triple Totem Organic Scarf (Code: SOL317) the design is just rockin’

Fallen Feather Necklace (Code: DNA014) makes me think of the tattoo on my back

Calm & Cozy Organic Thermals (Code: TFT014) because I’m always cold and wanting to be cozy

-Retro Lookin’ KitchenAid Mixer in robin blue because I live in the kitchen and love to bake

– A kitten to play with my already adorable kittay, Turtle, who’s pictured above (isn’t he too cute!?)

-Record/ CD Player because my boyfriend & I keep thrifting sweet records but can’t play them, yet

-Outdoor Reading Bed because… just look at the thing – it’s heaven!

Coming up next:  My office buds Bri and Joe will be sharing their wishlists with you. I’m curious to see what tops their lists, because Bri’s sure to have some uniquely brilliant wants, and good ol’ Joe will hopefully help inspire me as to what I should get my brother this holiday season…it’s always so hard figuring out what to get the guys!

What’s on your Wishlist this year?

Hippie Burlesque Skirt : Live in the Moment

I feel like I can’t get enough apples this fall, you would think after spending the last few weeks drying bushels of apples, making cinnamon apples, and pies I would have had my fill of apples for the year. But after getting the Hippie Burlesque Organic Skirt all I can think of are caramel apples. Luckily I still have a little basket of apples, and a bag of caramels.

 

Hippie Burlesque Organic Skirt

When you think of fall do you think of food? I can’t stop dreaming of cinnamon doughnuts, hot cocoa, pumpkin pie, peppermint ice cream, all those seasonal special treats. That’s how I think fall should be special, its seasonal, its unique, its beautiful and it comes and goes too fast. Its fleeting, if you don’t take a minute to sit down, play in the leaves, smell the campfire, and pick some apples, they will be gone before you know it. Its a challenge, to live in the moment, and breathe it all in.

It’s a challenge to live in the moment and breathe it all in

Fall officially feels like it has arrived, I love the seasons, I love the holidays, the family, the food, and I love the clothes. I love layering, mixing and playing with darker colors, I love leggings, sweaters, and boots. Looking over the Soul-Flower fall catalog, I was so inspired by the layering, the gloves, hats, and leggings, that I had to create an outfit that had the same details, I think any color leggings are perfect under dresses or skirts, I wear them as the warmest tights, they make any outfit ready for the chilly weather. I also love layering knits, they are so easy and cozy, you feel ready to take on the cold weather, and explore.

This organic skirt is perfect for fall and winter because it looks great with warm layers

I love my new Hippie Burlesque Organic Skirt the color is so rich, it reminds me of warm apple cider, cranberry sauce  red velvet cake with a bit of egg nog, its like Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas all rolled into one. This skirt will be my go to piece this fall, it fits into whatever i’m doing, its flexible, comfy, and has a bit of that holiday spirit I live for. Bring on the leaves, bring on the snow!

I am ready to soak up the season.

Lotus Stack Organic Maxi Worn Short or Long

Oh Autumn, you go so well with my Lotus Stack Organic Maxi! With your beautiful colors and the slight chill of the season, you make my outfit so easy.

This Skirt Dances to the Song that is Autumn!
This skirt brought comfort from my travels up north to Cape Cod all the way down to Stoney Brook State Park in upstate New York; all while bringing great color to my already beautiful surroundings. It swayed and danced in the ocean breeze of the Cape and kept me warm in the brisk air; I loved how it felt as the wind whipped it around. There’s something about being on an empty beach in front of a beautiful windy sea; with your hair swirling and the waves crashing, I couldn’t have picked a more perfect skirt for the occasion. I took a deep breath of salty air and felt so thankful and happy.
I wore the skirt again hiking with my dogs in Stony Brook State Park. I rolled it up so my knees could lift easier and to keep it out of the water. The lotus flowers go all the way down to the bottom of the skirt, so it looked great at a shorter length too. It was a warm day and it kept me cool enough all the way into the evening, and when the temperature dropped I rolled it back down to keep me warm throughout the rest of the night.
Blog Image
Roll the waistband for a shorter skirt!
I like the skirt a lot, I think its just lovely, and it’s so wonderfully versatile. I would recommend this to anyone wanting to look good, while being able to relax and be yourself.

I hope you are all appreciating this beautiful season and taking advantage of these last few warm, sunny days. There is so much to be thankful for and so much to smile about. Look around, the world is beautiful; and so are you.
Peace & Happiness to You All,
Hannah

Boho Headbands Layered Up for a Fun Look

I just found my new headband obsession. Soul Flower offers such a wide variety of beautiful designs on their boho headbands that I’ve had a hard time choosing just one. From that life crisis 😉 arose my absolute favorite way to wear their growing collection of Boho Headbands, LAYER THEM UP!! 🙂

Handmade Paisley Hat

Fall. A season like no other here in Iowa. I wait all year just to shoot photos and paint images of the colorful variations in the rolling hills. Equally as marvelous is to simply roam around admiring the beautiful multi-colored swirls in a single leaf. Life is changing all around. Hues of yellowy golds, reds, rust and copper are rushing in and they are simply breath taking! How interesting are trees anyway? Their ability to begin conserving energy for the long winter ahead – triggering their leaves to turn these amazing shades before they “fall”. Fascinating really, just another living organism going through their own cycles in life, just like us.


Blog Image
Heart the side bow!
While the cycle of falls outdoor color has me thrilled to no end, there’s another cycle brewing in my closet! Time to change my wardrobe! It’s a joyous process really, getting to break out warmer clothing I had forgotten I owned (like my ol’ Soul-Flower winter favs) and even making a few trips to recycle warm items someone else can enjoy. This seasonal change also means adding some new things into the mix and getting to wear more layers, jackets, boots and hats. YES, HATS! I love hats, but only really great fitting ones and yeppers the Soul-Flowers new Sixpence Paisley Hatis in that group! It is the bees knees! This hat is perfect for fall and for my love of it’s warm colors which are all gathered together by pretty paisley designs. The Sixpence Paisley blends in perfectly with all the outdoor scenery and I now get to enjoy wearing the colors I enjoy see everywhere!  

Blog Image
It seriously goes with everything!
 The features on this years hat model includes a super cute little green/blue bow and soft velvety fabric that make it perfect for wearing with dressier duds. Just the same the relaxed style of the Sixpence Paisley keeps it laid back and chill enough for casualdays. I‘ve realized in my hat quest that NOT all are created equal and have come cross many a hat that fail to look or fit “right” once on my head but I’m quite convinced that this handmade style is a good fit for anyone! The little miss sixpence is also really fun to wear when you add your own style flare! I like to wear mine with the brim just a tad off to the right side combined with a little forward tilt. So, if you’re a hat wearer, need a hat for the occasional bad hair day or just want to try something new, this hat’s for you!

Hats off to ya,

P.S. I’ve had so many people come up and ask me about this hat – moms for themselves and their daughters, grandmothers and even guys for their gals! They all agree – great style, cool fit and of course unique colors and pattern! So, get it while you can…I’m just sayin! 🙂

Good Luck Charms

It’s not on purpose, but a lot of the necklaces we have at Soul Flower right now make perfect good luck charms!

Blog Image

When I buy jewelry, I like for it to mean something. It should be special. The best jewelry I own reminds me of either someone I love (my aunt gave me this necklace!), a special time (I bought this bracelet during my trip to Europe!), or remind me of a goal I have (this pendant reminds me to stay calm & go with the flow…)

The best thing about these necklaces is they can mean anything you want!

Wear the Fatima Hand Necklace as a sign of protection, or to remind you of the power of using your hands when creating art.

Give the Take Aim Necklace as a gift to the one who captured your heart, or wear it to remind you to “shoot straight” while working toward your goals.

Forget Me Not: the perfect gift for someone unforgettable, or a reminder to never forget to notice the beauty all around you.

Whichever charm you choose, attaching your own special meaning to it makes it all the more special. Whether you keep it secret (even though life seems crazy, I’m on the right path) or show off your message to the world (I’m a treehugger!), there’s a charm for everything. We hope they bring you good luck!

Kurtas – Cool Hippie Tops at Soul Flower

I’ve noticed that if someone is buying one kurta they seem to be buying several kurtas. Maybe it’s because it’s hard to pick just one color or style, or maybe it’s because they’re so incredibly comfortable! This season our collection of kurta’s has grown, and now there’s a kurta style to match every mood, every day – this kurta craze just got real! 😉

Spirit Tree Organic Tunic : Eco Friendly Fashion

When the weather starts to cool down, I start wanting to wear some favorites: tall boots and long-sleeves.  It’s just one of the pleasures of fall for most females!  I’m always looking for long-sleeved t-shirts for my wardrobe, and this Soulflower tunic caught my eye.

What I love most about tunics is how versatile they are.  You can wear them with jeans as a t-shirt or put in on over your yoga clothes and add boots to go out on the town after class.  As the weather gets cold, you can put it on over long johns just for lounging or for going out.

Blog Image
Spirit Tree Organic Tunic

Since this is a Soulflower tunic, it’s made of soft GMO-free, organic cotton and is made to be just as comfortable and simple as it is beautiful.  The shape is cut to accentuate the female figure.   But the material is soft, so it’s non-binding.   The result is a tunic that is flirty and fun, yet comfy like lounge clothes.  In fact, the thing about Soulflower is that it seems like they make all of their designs as if they are lounge clothes as well as going out clothes.  It’s awesome because you can feel good if you’re just lounging around the house, yet be ready to go out in a hurry.  So you can wear the clothes for multiple purposes, such as lounging, going to class and work, yoga class, out for a hike or bike ride, and out on the town.  It’s also so nice to go out and still feel snuggly and comfy in your clothes.

Blog Image
Honor nature

This tunic is not just for fall and winter, either.  It can be worn with leggings and sandals in the spring and as a bathing suit cover-up in the summer.  So many options!

As things change in this world, I am always looking to buy stuff made in the USA that is low impact on our environment.  The Soulflower line is made in the USA and dyed with low-impact dyes.  Thanks Soulflower for bringing it home and keeping it clean!

Blog Image
Love trees!

Soulflower’s graphics always astound me.  The designs are beautiful, yet simple, and they reflect nature and have positive messages to inspire those that wear them and those that get to see you wear them.  Their designs always have the effect of stopping someone to let you know how cool it is and how good you look.   Every piece of clothing represents the art of mindfulness, presence, and thoughtfulness.

I chose this tunic because I love trees!  The tree design and the color of the tunic are to remind us of the spirit of the tree.  Trees live in harmony with their environment.  They live much longer than we do generally, so they have much wisdom to teach us if we learn to slow down and listen.  This fall season is the time to get out and listen to the trees!

These photos were taken in Pisgah National Forest in the Laurentian forests that inhabit the tops of these Southern mountains.  We’ve lost many of the species that once thrived here due to invasive insects and diseases.  Be sure and pay attention to what is native in your area and never plant non-native trees and plants in order to prevent the spread of pests.

Peace,
Andria

Namaste in my Namaste Tank Top

Namaste in my Namaste Tank Top

A running stream, a beautiful waterfall, a quiet forest, and my Namaste Tank Top; it’s a beautiful day and a perfect recipe for some meditation and yoga. Namaste represents the belief that there is a divine spark within each of us, which is located in the heart chakra. It is expressed through placing the hands together at the heart, closing your eyes, and bowing your head. It can also be done by placing your hands together at your third eye, bowing your head, and bringing your hands down to your heart. This gesture represents the acknowledgment of the soul in one, by the soul in another.

Fall Favorite: Hand Woven Mukluks!

Is it just me or is it totally mukluk time!? My toes are chillay and ready for my favorite hand woven slipper! And, yes, I am in fact wearing my favorite aqua & blue pair at my desk right now. And when I get home, I have a pair of maroon, pink and cream ones waiting for me. The entire Soul Flower team pretty much runs around the office in mukluks throughout fall and winter – we’ve just got that kind of luk! 😉
Blog Image
One reason I love fall: WOOL MUKLUKS!

They come in a variety of colors, so it’s kind of like ordering yourself a surprise, ya never know what you’re gonna get! However, if you do have a color preference, all you need to do is leave a note in the “gift messages” section at checkout, and our buds will try their best to pick that color mukluk for you! 🙂 It’s best to leave a second choice as well, in case we don’t have your color preference in stock.

Ooooooooh!!!

Girls rock ’em. Dudes rock ’em. And once you own one pair of mukluks you’ll likely want to own another. Am I right? Or am I right? 😉

Soulshine Bursts Boho Headband

I am so glad that headbands have become fashionable again since I was already wearing them anyway!  Although I am not one to dress according to what is fashionable, I like to be comfortable, and part of being comfortable is knowing that you look good in what you’re wearing.  Soulflower has found the perfect balance in comfort, fashion, and style!

Anyway, I was looking through the headbands and thinking that I wanted one, and I came across a review that  said she thought the headband she ordered seemed flimsy and to save your money by cutting up an old t-shirt.  It made me re-think my order, but I decided I wanted to try one anyway.  I am glad I did!  I like the idea of cutting up a t-shirt, and I will probably try that; but I am extremely happy with the Soulflower headband, and I’ve been wearing it more than any of my other ones now.  I find that it’s not flimsy at all; in fact it’s quite tough!  I will definitely be buying the other colors and designs!

In order to check its toughness, I put it through the paces.  I took it on a road trip and on a multi-day river trip.  I wore it during different activities, and I was frequently stuffing it down in my bag.  I found that not only is the headband ultra-tough, but it’s super small and easy to pack!

The other reasons that I love the Soulflower headband are the material, the fit, and the design.  The material is their ultra-soft cotton/poly blend that they use in many of the items in their yoga line. The cotton makes it soft and airy and the polyester makes it durable and quick-drying.  It’s organic cotton and recycled plastic too!  When it’s hot outside, I always want my hair out of my face, but many headbands make me itchy and hotter, so I put them on and take them off all day.  Not this one!  The material is silky-soft, light and airy, so it feels good to wear in all kinds of weather.

The fit of the headband is perfect.  I have a very small head, and it fits me great without falling around; and the material is stretchy, so if you have a bigger head, it will fit you too.  You can change up the look to fit your mood by wearing it over your whole head or scrunching it up smaller.  It stays on great through all kinds of activity like yoga, hiking, traveling, and just playing around.  On our road trip out west, I found it to be a necessary travel item!  Since I went many days without a shower, it was great to cover up and control dirty, wind-blown travel hair.  

One of the most amazing things about Soulflower is their designs, and they don’t hold back on their headbands!  I have many items with the Soulshine graphics on them because it’s one of my favorites!  It reminds me to stay positive and to do my best to make others around me feel good too.  Thanks Soulflower for always finding creative ways to spread the good vibe!

Also, here’s a tutorial on how you can double these headbands up for a fresh-fun look: Double Headband Magic

Mehndi Hands Hoody : The Heart Chakra

If you like being comfortable, you will love Soul Flower’s line of pull-over yoga hoodies!  I now have two, and I wonder what I used to wear.  They are like your favorite t-shirt, but in hoody form!  These hoodies are made from a soft blend of organic cotton and recycled plastic polyester.  The cotton makes the fabric soft against your skin while the polyester helps it dry quickly and keeps you warm; making these a great choice for spring and fall or after the sun goes down in summer.  I wore this in a light rain and it didn’t soak the water in and it dried very quickly.

Give Joy!

These hoodies have a loose fit, (I got the small and it fits juuuuust right) so they are great for pulling on over your yoga wear or over your little party dress as the night grows cooler at a festival or show.  I actually just wore the Mehndi Hands hoody at a spring festival.  It got cooler at night, but not cold, so I wanted something that would keep me just a bit warmer.  The extra coverage and the awesome hood were just the ticket!  Also, because it’s a Soul Flower item, I could add a layer and still have on something cute and fun!

Blog Image Two hands with intricate red and beige henna-style patterns form the shape of a heart at their center. Soul Flower Blog: Hippie Style & Kind Living
Mehndi Heart <3
Take Joy!

The Mehndi Hands graphic is absolutely spectacular.  It’s a beautiful maroon color against the brown hoody.   I have to add that the color of the hoody makes it very convenient for travel and festival wearing because it doesn’t show dirt!  Anyway, the graphic is open hands with a heart inside and the heart chakra symbol inside the heart.  How awesome is that!  It’s located right at the heart chakra too, so it reminds us to act from the heart. Others might be different from us, they might annoy us, but we do our best to love them anyway.  Chakras are able to give and receive energy, so also remember to receive the love that is given to you.  Soul Flower’s love is given to us through their eco-conscious clothing with conscious designs so that as we wear it, we give our love to the world around us!

Sunrise Surprise Halter Tank Is On Sale!

I don’t know about the rest of you, but where I live it has been soooo HOT! The only thing you can do in this kind of weather is go to the pool with an umbrella and some sunscreen (spf 100 if you’re as fair skinned as me!)

But the heat brings another problem; clothes! When it’s as hot as it is in the middle of Summer, you have to have something that is made out of thin, cool fabric and is still cute at the same time. Soul Flowers Sunrise Suprise halter top is exactly what you need! It comes in bright, eye-catching yellow and orange hues with a splash of red. The halter top allows your back and shoulders to breathe free from any fabric, and it looks super cute! It is great to wear alone, or over your bathing suit.

Plus, it’s fair trade! And on SALE!

Was $24 now it’s $18 
So get it while you can and enjoy the rest of your summer! 🙂

Happy Pants & Bob Marley’s 3 Little Birds

Hello, fellow buds! My name is Kirbie and I am lucky enough to say that I am one of Soul Flower’s newest additions to the Karma Krewe! I love Soul Flower because it is a wonderful company with friendly, true blue workers, and you can give outward expressions of inward feelings through clothing that is good to the earth and its people. So far, in my 20 years of life, my inward experiences have been mostly positive. If I have a bad experience, I turn it around and make it a good one because I know that it taught me something that I can apply later on in life. I am a singer/songwriter too, so I can also take those negative (and positive) experiences and turn them into a song. That way, there is always a happy ending to every life lesson!

To me, nothing is more important in life than happiness. This is why I felt right at home when I first started listening to reggae music. The lyrics in reggae music always come back to love and happiness. Most of the lyrics uncover issues that keep us from these things. A lot of songs are about the artist’s true love. Then there are the songs about sitting back, relaxing, and just enjoying life. And who can resist those bouncy off-beat guitar rhythms? Yes indeed, whenever I hear this irresistable music, it’s like I’m in my own little paradise. What other way to express these happy feelings than through my reggae influenced pop music?

When I saw these, I just had to have them. They practically screamed out my name! They are perfect for me. The bright colors are eye-catching, yet down to earth, thanks to the scarce brown color throughout the pants. I was a little worried about them being too hot; after all, it is the middle of May and it isn’t going to get any colder! But they turned out to actually keep my legs cool in the sun! Plus, you can roll them up and button them if you want to wade in the water. They weren’t too short OR too long. They fit around my hips and bottom, which I was suprised about. Great for running and dancing! Just when I thought they couldn’t get any better, I remembered they were fair trade….What are you waiting for?!

You are a soul-flower customer. That very fact means that you are unique! So get out there and express your beautiful, happy self through these fantastical pants!

My dog certainly enjoys Bob Marley’s Three Little Birds!

 

 

Little Buds Like Hippie Accessories

Kids are rocking our hippie accessories like nobody’s business! Usually when I see a long scarf or women’s hat I think of it as just that, an accessory for women, but these little buds have proven me wrong. Check out these hippie vibes – they’re so stylin they’ve got me wanting these outfits!

Indian Summer Maxi Dress

Every summer I have a mission to find that new vacation dress!  So, I got online and enjoyed my Soul-Flower search (without the shopping hassle) and found one of the prettiest dresses I’ve seen in a long time, The Indian Summer Maxi Dress. Without a hesitation I thought, yes please! Getting this ASAP!!! When it came in the mail I was dazzled by the color!! The purple freak in me is very happy, and I’m lovin’ on the red and purple – what a fabulous combination!! Funny, I paint using this color combo quite often, but I don’t see it enough in clothing for my fondness! The sweet Mehndi pattern is always marvelous to me as well, just so awesome!

Blog Image
In love with the rich red & purple!

The Indian Summer Maxi Dress has all the elegance for a fancy shmancy party yet the natural, light, everyday look for heading to the market in a beachy town. It’s just the best for summer vacations! So lightweight for packing, and takes up no space in my luggage! The fit is so amazing is on my body. It’s quite form fitting in the shoulder area, but I like this feature a lot because of the nice higher fit around the arm pits and neckline. 



The dress also has a nice bit of room in the hip area – very easy to move around, walk and sit in, and gives the body such a nice shape. I am 5’5” and it brushes the tops of my sandals. Perfect in every way, like it’s been tailor made!! How do they do that? Who is it that is doing this? This rich red gem is a garment made in India in the traditional ways families have been block printing cotton by hand for generations. The sewing is done by hand from women who are members of cooperatives. This dress I now wear and love helps these women and their children find their way out of poverty and the company is a member of the Fair Trade Federation! So, every time I put it on I think of whose life these dresses might be changing and wear it with a happy heart!

Enjoy your life today! ~ Woo

Three Little Birds Hi-lo Dress – Bird Is The Word!

I was so excited when the “Three Little Birds” hi-lo dress landed on my door step! Soft organic cotton and a loose fit, all while being fashionable and fun! This dress truly does put the fun in functionality.  Functionality in a stylish dress is something hard to find. Not only is this dress really adorable, it’s super comfortable as well. It really gives you the freedom to move around and soar up into trees at a moment’s notice.

I love to get in touch with nature, from taking hikes up waterfalls to planting in my garden.  And with the comfort of this racerback dress; there is nothing you will feel held back from!  It’s perfect for beautifying the front yard with flowers and planting or playing in the dirt all day!

From the sandy white beaches of Hawaii to the tops of the fruit trees, I can’t think of anywhere I wouldn’t wear this Three Little Birds dress. The greatest thing about it truly is its versatility.  It slips on easily after a long days swim in the Pacific.

A day at the beach playing with my puppy Luna is a breeze in this dress.  Its loose fit allows it to flow in the cool ocean breeze and its racer back style allows your shoulders to still get some sun, while the rest of you stays covered up as you’re chasing after your dog!

Walking the shoreline, swimming in the crystal blue waters, lying in the sun, playing fetch; it’s a day in paradise!  An adventurous day like this certainly leaves very little time for planning a wardrobe change before we head out for some fish tacos, good thing I am ready for anything in the only outfit I need!

 

Bird truly is the word!
