c + m horoscopes: cancer
Cancer is, as you've guessed, the astrological sign that I hold nearest and dearest to my heart because it is of course my sign! Hence, the crab and the moon. The crab being the zodiac symbol and the moon being our ruling planet.
I plan on making this a two part series by doing an additional crab illustration. I've been sketching but it hasn't really clicked just yet.
This little number I came up with is a waning crescent moon, which is the moon I was born under, with poppies, peonies and lithianthus blooming from it. The flowers and the outer circle also represent a flower crown symbolizing summer and every moon maiden's inner flower child. It was originally suppose to be my first tattoo. This piece is very special to me to say the least.

Mallory Sophronia
Mallory Sophronia opened their first ever brick and mortar this past weekend! The apparel and accessories line has a new home in a cottage in Kennebunk, Maine within the Morning Walk Galleries.
Kennebunk could quite possibly be one of my favorite places to visit. It has beautiful views, just a real sense of calm and more importantly, the best seafood. Ever.
Mallory Sophronia caters to the bohemian beach babe. The girl behind the brand pays homage to her ancestors and their namesake through her handmade goods. What differentiates Mallory from other designers is that she makes clothing that fits all body types, there is no right or wrong way to wear her pieces and each piece is a true one of a kind. Her designs range from flowy and oversized to short and sexy.
My favorite piece I own at the moment is a printed purple kimono. It doubles as a skimpy robe around the apartment and a top that hints at a little too much, paired back to my black leather shorts. And of course... I own one of the orchid flower crowns. L O V E .
Mallory and I installed the interior space in about 3 days. Her family contributed a lot as well. The whole experience was so fun and freeing. We just did whatever the hell we wanted with no restraints. It was pretty cool.
To shop Mallory Sophronia from the comfort of your home go to mallorysophronia.com
If you're lucky enough to be in the area of the shop they are located at 2 Morning Walk Lane in Kennebunk, Maine at The Galleries at Morning Walk. The shop is open Mon, Wed, Fri-Sun from 10:00am - 5:00pm.
flower crown wall art
It's officially summer!! Which means it is officially appropriate to wear fresh flowers in your hair at all times. Fresh flower crowns are one of my favorite things about summer. The perfect accessory for any boho babe. The downfall of it all is that they only last 1 - 2 days, which makes this chick real sad. So to turn my flower frown upside down I dry them out and incorporate them in my room as wall art! It's pretty simple and it allows me to showcase all of the special occasions where I have worn these beautiful pieces.
After the crown starts to wilt place it on a tapered round lampshade to dry out (remove the shade or use only when the shade is cool) then hang! You can also have them framed in a shadow box but if you're on a budget like me, hanging them is just fine.
Let the crowns live on!
