Bling...?

Hidden under stacks of Urban Outfitters, Free People, and Gypsy Rose catalogs was this really old 70's crafts book that my mom gave me a bit ago that I had forgotten about. I was ammusd by this bead ring and decided to give it an attempt. I do have to say though its a tad big which keeps me from wearing it all the time, but overall I do like the way it came out. Although, I still think the 70's girl's is much better!

I've gotta run and help my mom make this deep dish pasta thing for Easter tomorrow. We plan on going over to my Italian grandmother's house where my extended family will be (some of which are from Brooklyn). Remind me to bring some ear muffs, it gets crazy in her little house packed with Italians that just love to talk over one another. Wish me luck!

Well I'm off, have a great weekend everyone!
p.s: my 50th post!

soaking the sun in the 70s

I wish I looked this cool at the beach! People in the 70's were so ahead of their time. No two ways about that.

By the way Easter break is great. I'm so tired though because I've been staying up so late every night...why?...well just because I can! I'll put up a new post soon of pictures of a ring I made recently and let you know what I'm up to. Just wanted to let you all know I'm still around!

Much Love.

As of today I am on my spring break! Halleluia. I really dislike school...right now...haha.
I hope that you all enjoy school. It would be a lovely thing to wake up in the morning and actually be excited for school...and that is why I can't wait for art school! Cant wait...one more year :)

Beautiful pictures of cool girls by Gemma Booth.
More Here.
There is a little bit of something I love in each of these pictures. My favorite elements incorporated in these pictures are the jean studded vest and knit skirt, the rainbow overalls, leather pants and the round readers. The use of sunlight in these pictures give them such a natural fresh feel. I also really love their hair! Haha.

Which are your favorites?
Enjoy the start of a new week!...Set a goal for yourself in the beginning of the week and see if you accomplish it by Friday, I love doing that. Let me know how it goes!

Its All In the Details

When looking at the Zac Posen spring collection I couldn't help but be more amused by the accessories than the clothes themselves. And maybe that's what Mr. Posen wants us to do his collectioin, however, I felt that in some looks he may have over accessorized. The chunky coin earrings in this collection no doubt would be a conversation starter, but I know few women who would actually wear these through an entire work day or a night out without having their ears weighing them down.

Also, the bangles I would love to see separate. When you stack four or five cunky bangles at once sometimes I think you can loose the beauty in the bangles individually and instead are looking at the massive stack on the models tiny wrist.

But I will say is that I love the details and colors used in the dresses,
the white snakeskin and the freshness of the bags, and the colors and shapes of the shoes.

I guess I'm a person who looks at the functionality a little bit more than the design. I have always loved Zac Posen and his eye for fashion, but I think its important to have an opinion about what designers put on the runway because it allows for a different perspective rather than loving everything the designer does just because it has their name on it. I am no person to have such a high opinion on such talented and excelled designers, but these are just my thoughts on looking at the details of this collection. After all, its all in the details.

P.S. I apologize for the slow posting. But thankfully, I have spring break approaching and I'm prepared to do some massive DIYing and have a couple posting ideas lined up. Also, sorry for the poor quality of some of my outfit pictures, I need to upgrade to a new camera, but for right now I'm fine. I should be grateful to have the things that I do and sometimes I take them for granted I think.

Don't Think. Just Live.

Work like you don’t need the money,
Love like you’ve never been hurt,
Dance like no one is watching,
Even when you're crushed in the dirt.

Fight like you've already won,
Daydream like you'll live forever,
Don't ever quit 'til you're done.
Hope like there's no word as "never."

Forgive like you can’t waste your time,
On grudges that kill you inside,
Give like you’ll never get anything back,
Be someone who has nothing to hide.

Step out like you’ve never fallen,
When you do, stand tall and brave,
Laugh loud, no matter who hears you,
Learn why joy cannot fear the grave.

See beauty like it’s only the first time,
Marvel at all that you see…
It’s too big a world not to wonder,
How you and I came to be.

Savor each breath that you take, dear…
'Cuz time, honey? It just moves too fast.
And above all, my friends, remember...

To live...like this day is your last.

This isn't by me. I just love it!
