We Are Art ~ The New Art.com
Among all the things I wanted to be when I was a child, artist was high on my list… next to ballerina, veterinarian, and fashion &/or interior designer, of course. As I grew up and tried my hand at many things, art and expressing myself through art was still a huge part of who I …

Get Your Seed Beads On
Tommy Ton ~ Style.com In the 90’s we all wore short single strands of seed bead necklaces with our school uniforms, particularly in Rasta colors or multi-colored hues, but I recall having a black and white one as well. When you wear a uniform to school, you tend to try to accessorize in ways that …
ULTRASUEDE In Search of Halston… A Must See Documentary
I recently watched the documentary film, Ultrasuede: In Search of Halston, directed by Whitney Sudler-Smith, and was mesmerized and captivated by every single minute of it. I mean, wow, the documentary was done extremely well but also, Halston was larger than life with his entourage of models accompanying him everywhere he went… not to mention …
Smoking Hot Sultry Summer Hair Styles…
Oh Summer, GLORIOUS SUMMER! A time for fewer layers of clothing, lighter fabrics, bare skin, floaty dresses, open toes, sandals, sunglasses, and sexy summer hair! In general, I’m not too fond of perfectly coiffed hair styles, mostly because the perfectionist in me takes over and is never satisfied. So to combat that, I almost always …

Dogs in Sunglasses ~ A Failed Attempt at Cute Still Produced Adorable
Thinking I could actually get my dogs to sit still long enough to get a great shot of either of them wearing my Ray-Ban aviator sunglasses, was clearly too high an expectation, especially given the fact that my dogs lack length in the snout-al region. Nevertheless, with snacks nearby, I got the classic shades to …
November 2011 Bazaar Magazine ~ 4th of July Style Inspiration
I’m a bit of a magazine hoarder. I cannot toss one out for years and even then, I have to flip through it, tear out any possible inspiration and then I’ll recycle what is left, usually only ads and the spine. But years and years later and even then, I don’t always determine that it’s …

I’ve had Blueberry Mojitos on the brain since March of this year, when the husband and I went out to dinner for his birthday and ordered the most amazing cocktails I’ve ever sipped! So with Summer in full-bloom I thought I’d finally give it a go myself and see if I could recreate some of …
Dynamic Duo: Green + Leopard Print
Made up of black and brown tones, leopard print works splendidly as a neutral and often looks great against almost any color, but paired with green is one of my all-time favorite combos. From bright Kelly green to deep forest green and every green in between, leopard print is chic and sophisticated when next to …

I originally created this fun gold chain and hinge bracelet for SHIFT on BuzzFeed last week wherein I dueled with Geneva from A Pair and a Spare {one of my favorite fellow DIYers}.
