You've Got A Lovely Way With Words, Must Be The Way You See The World

if you've ever been to my humble abode you'll know that i'm a big tamara de lempicka fan...i love that art deco time period & her life in particular was quite interesting along with her sleek style...

fortunately i was able to see this lovely painting in person in san francisco a few years ago & it's kinda small...
anyways, i was excited to stumble upon this photoshoot inspired by her paintings...pretty

It'd Be A Miracle, Could You Oblige?

this was a nice weekend, fri. nite aka erik's b-day extravaganza was good times, i felt like a kid again @ chuck e cheese, i forgot how much fun skeeball could be, oh to be 5 again! detriot was fun too...new favorite drink is vanilla vodka/sprite.....good stuff
sat. me and andrea had an l.a. day...1st we did our annual trip to the fidm costume exhibit, they had costumes from enchanted, elizabeth, 300, across the universe, marie antoinette, atonement, etc...holy crap: i knew keira knightley was anorexic, but damn...that green dress she wears in the movie wouldn't even fit me when i was 5, no joke...that girl needs to have some kfc
after we headed over to meet up w/ my class @ an artist's house/studio in glendale...it was pretty neat-o....this guy lives in one of the coolest house places i've ever seen...he has like a whole studio as his front room/ it feels like a gallery & his paintings were nice...i like the color pallette he uses
here's some of antonio adriano puelo's work:

today was simple i did hw & went on a walk across the street in the wilderness lol...there's a huge lake across the street from me that i never knew existed...i'll have to take some pics...tomorrow is another monday : ( i'm broke & need to get goin on my show...graduation is approaching...yikes!

Spring Break

Lose Yourself, But Don't Lose Your Mind

i was googling installation ideas & came across this one...it was constructed of 50,000 spray-painted balls...pretty amazing...it was done a couple of years ago by an artist named nike sawas..never heard of him, but he was inspired by seurat's pointillist paintings...it would be fun to run though these

I've Got You Under My Skin

i'm thinking it would be really cool if i could take over the whole soiray thing this summer. as of now we have a buttload of bad purses that we are trying to sell so that we can payback production costs in thailand...if this happens......& thats a big if...i'm hoping that maybe someone will invest in the company & maybe i could do all the designs? i think that would be way rad...& i'd actually have time to focus on it...anywho, i googled to see what designs other designers did w/ the stingray skins & i must say they were pretty clever...

i'm lovin this zac posen framed clutch

bottega venetta did this limited edition bag

this one is pretty sweet

nice lil clutch

love the deep purple of this vbh clutch

God Save the Queen

ever since i took that modern english history course over winter break i've been obsessed w/ all things english (i.e. tea, the royals, viv westwood, etc...) so i saw this 20/20 special this week about the royal family & the queen...it was really interesting, but my favorite part was when they showed the crown jewels..& it got me to thinking: it would be really cool to design an entire ready to wear collection around those amazing baubles (nice word, i know)...they even showed these spectacular medals that she hands out to knights & other noteworthy peeps...

anywho alexander mcqueens recent collection was very british empire

and who could forget dior's fall 2004 couture collection...

well, i could go on for days, but fortunately i won't...on another note, i'm pretty sure i'll be heading over to europe this june!!! & i believe we are planning to stay in london! soooo exciting, i think i'm gonna steel them crown jewels..........& prince william lol
