Though this table was styled for a bridal photo shoot, I think it’s just the perfectly pretty and feminine spring tabletop. From Easter to Mother’s Day, these pretty florals, layered with texture and color, along with colored glassware, vintage dishes, and gold flatware, are just the perfect inspiration for all the coming holidays. It’s so …
Makeup looks to inspire by Makeup Artist Elena Pivetta
I’m sort of in between major work projects right now, which gave me a little bit of free time… which ultimately led to this overwhelming need to clean out my office, get rid of everything I don’t need, and give it a little refresh. And of course, it’s taking far longer than I anticipated, but …
Color + Mood // Gold Rush
Just loving the color combos here along with the mood they’re sort of creating.

As …

Fashion + Art // Marc Quinn’s “Eye on Fashion”
In the September issue of Harper’s BAZAAR, artist Marc Quinn photographed the eyes of fashion industry leaders: Karl Lagerfeld, Stella McCartney and Sarah Burton… and I just thought the closeups were stunning. “The eyes are the only internal organ you can see from the outside,” says artist Marc Quinn. “The iris is our doorway to …

Art // Form // Strength // Body // Beauty // Ballet
I randomly happened upon these stunning photographs of the human female form captured amidst light and dust via Flyerz Magazine on Facebook and was mesmerized.

In honor of Marilyn Monroe on what would have been her 89th birthday and on my 39th birthday -yesterday, June 1st, I thought it would be fun to recreate the iconic ‘Marilyn in Bed’ photos we see so often in a photo project of my own. And it so was. Sharing a birthday with Marilyn …
So it Goes Magazine / Instagram
I found So it Goes Magazine about a month ago while looking for great photos of Cillian Murphy to sketch after falling in love with Peaky Blinders and subsequently needing a subject with a fabulous face to practice my drawing techniques on.

Inspired | Tumblr Crushin’ | Frankly Esoteric | All The Pretty Photos
Sometimes I’m in “do” mode… and sometimes I’m in “consume” mode… and sometimes when I’m in one mode I wonder if I’ll ever be in the other again… and then seemingly from nowhere, I’m smack in the middle of the other. I haven’t “pinned” for a while, and then last night, I pinned one million …

Photography & Art Favorites…
Before Pinterest, there was Tumblr. And while many people use Tumblr as a blogging platform, I use{d} it as an inspiration board of sorts… and to upload images that were too risque or just didn’t make sense to post here at the time. Though now it mainly collects dust with my Instagram shots – – …
