Life Size Me...




I haven't posted anything I've done in a while, mostly because the art of I've done has been school related. That's all I've had time for really. This is for school but I actually love the outcome. Although, I must admit I bitched and moaned a whole lot during the process. We had to draw a life size, to scale, and proportioned, drawing of ourselves. So I was thankful that I am not a 7 Ft. Sasquatch, but a mere 5'4" little girl. I also used one of my photo shoot pictures instead of doing it from the mirror just to make things a little easier on myself. It was actually creepy at the end of it to be looking at myself but not in a mirror. Especially since my hair is no longer that short nor blonde. It's kind of fun to have a life size image of yourself. I suggest you make one of yourself, it's kind of neat to have in your room.

Item Inspiration of the Day...






Bet you never guessed something as dismal and outdated as a typewriter could be your inspiration. In fact, it absolutely can be! I don't lie when I say you can find inspiration in any item. I thought of this one because I was just looking at my old teal typewriter from when I was little. It was my mothers when she was little that she gave to me. So I thought of the time, which would be the 50's when she was using it. The style was classy and that was their technology. That was their speedy way of writing letters. I think it's more romantic than a computer and E-mail, I can tell you that much. Severe Carpal Tunnel might be the outcome of pressing those hard keys though! Anyways, I thought about the typewriter, the clean lines, the keys, and the letters. The dress I chose completely relates to the typewriter. The black band going across mimicking the black roll on the type writer, and the rows of lace mimicking the rows of keys. I chose the initial ring for obvious reasons, and the typewriter necklace for even more of a obvious reason. The little pill box hat with the netting just reminds me of the time period a lot and I for one love them and wish I had a reason to wear one, maybe new years. Hmmm. Now go look around your room for a new item to make an outfit from! Shoo!

Signature Style...




Today, I've come to notice, not for the first time; but really acknowledged peoples signature styles. Signature items really. I started to think about this because there was a boy in my class I came to be friends with after class not during oddly enough, but he calls me headbands. He said one thing he always noticed about me and remembered me for is I always had a different headband and loved the color yellow. It's a fact, and he didn't need to know me at all outside of class or have to speak to me at all to know it. I am known for always having my crazy headbands in my hair (the elastic ones that go around your whole head), and I do like to have yellow items a lot. In fact my favorite headband I wear is my yellow one! It's cheerful ie: my banana inspiration piece. It's just a great color and works well with my complexion. My other friend Dillon told me he's gonna start just calling me head gear after I told him about that because I also always have a beret if not a head band. People I've noticed of my own friends that have signature items is for one my boyfriend, everyone knows him to have his green American Apparel hoodie vest. My friend Joey G, almost always in a red flannel shirt whenever I see him. My friend Mike Varga, always in his Mets Hat. And then there is celebrities, they always have their signature thing. Some of them, are ridiculous and outlandish, (Paris Hilton and a chihuahua?)but it's what you remember them for. I think having signature items are important. They are your own, and it's what you like and people can remember you for it. You're not just a blur in the crowd. I'm not saying go and shave one side of your head and dye the other half purple, that's just stupid(No offense if you're into that). Just have your own style, something that you really enjoy and is your favorite anything.

Item Inspiration of the Day...

I decided I have to do an inspiration piece from sharks. They are my absolute hands down, favorite animal. They're so intense, and I love how vicious they can be or as harmless as a puppy at other times. They're unpredictable and I love that. You all know how much I love rings, so you can understand how in love I am with that one. I will have it around my finger at some point, trust me. See what kind of outfit you can come up with from your favorite animal, you just have to open up your mind and not think too hard about it. You'll see how easily all these ideas come to you.

Item Inspiration of the Day...




Today's inspiration came right from the glass in my hand. I was drinking a coke, and it just goes to show how simple it is to draw inspiration from pretty much anything you can see. You can be as literal with it or just pull colors or shapes from it. I think it's always fun to have a piece of jewelry of almost literally what you drew your inspiration from. No one will know that's what it came from except you.

I just had this necklace made by Trashy Deluxe. They're a fun bunch of girls who have made themselves a name making necklaces with crude words or phrases. I fell in love instantly because I have a bit of a crass sense of humor. Although I didn't have it made that way, I wanted my nickname. Take a look at their necklaces, you can request your own even!

Item Inspiration of the Day...






In response to this crappy rainy day in New York, I chose a banana as my inspiration. Why a banana?? Because it's bright and cheerful. Sometimes I wear my yellow hoodie on days like this because it changes your mood. It's a fact. I think the color yellow is amazing for that, maybe that's why they made that smiley face yellow all the time, so you'd feel happy about it. I wonder. Anyways I think this outfit is swoon worthy, and did you see I threw in the Andy Warhol banana? Of course I did. Any day it's pretty grey out, just throw on some bright colored clothes. Don't grab for the sweats to make it match the weather even more. You'll see a change in your mood, no jokes. Go Bananas! ( god i love being a corn ball, at least I can laugh at myself HA!)

90's greatest songs...



If you we're an 80's baby than you were old enough in the 90's to appreciate these songs. When you hear them they give you a certain warmth and nostalgia of your Ninja Turtles and your creepy Baby Alive doll that shat her pants. Awesome. Although some of them just remind me of 6th grade and getting the horribly popular "mmm bop" song sang to me repeatedly. I unwillingly share Hanson's last name. I Have two S's in my last name though, and that was the only ammo I had to get them to shut up.

1. Snow-Informer (a licky boom boom down...seriously.)
2. Cypress Hill-Insane in the Brain
3. House of Pain-Jump Around
4. Kriss Kross-Jump ( I guess I like jumping.)
5. New Radicals- You Get What You Give
6. Nirvana-Smells Like Teen Spirit
7. The Breeders-Canon Ball
8. Hanson-MMM Bop (It has to be on here, it just has to.)
9. Sir Mix-A-Lot-Baby Got Back
10.Vanilla Ice-Ice Ice Baby
11.Salt N Pepa-Whatta Man
12.Oasis-Wonder Wall
13.Beastie Boys-Sabotage
14.Marcy Playground- Sex and Candy
15.Foo Fighters-Everlong
16.Right Said Fred-I'm Too Sexy
17.Missy Elliot- The Rain
18.Deee-Lite- Groove Is In The Heart
19.Weezer-Buddy Holly
20.TLC-Waterfalls
*** One more for good luck Jamiroquai-Virtual Insanity So amazing. Love, Love, LOVE that song.

This is only a few of my favorites, not in any particular order. These are the best songs ever that can never get old. I need to have myself a 90's party I know my friends would be completely pumped on hearing these songs back to back to back. That is a fun play list. What were your favorites? I want to hear. Even if you were born before or after this what was your favorite songs that remind you of your child hood?

Need an idea for your holiday cocktail dress this winter?? Flowers. Flowers are the most amazing items to pull inspiration from they're vibrantly colored and layered. Every cocktail dress should have some poof or texture to it. Try and stay away from the long and flat dress, it comes off as old and up tight. Have some fun with it and get something with a little bit of netting underneath to poof it up and pick bright colors! The simple black is so boring, stand out at the party and liven it up with some color! I think I'm going red this year. Although I wouldn't mind wearing everything in that set. Blue flowers is what came to mind first so I went with it. Perfect.

DH's Christmas List...So simple this year.

A Wii Fit?? Come on, those things are the most amazing pieces of exercise equipment in the 21st century. Everyone I've spoken to that has used it said they're so much fun and actually have seen results. So count me in, I need to jump on that bandwagon for sure. I have a extreme ring fetish, I absolutely love rings I have four that never come off my fingers not even in the shower(which wasn't too smart, Swarovski rings I found out can not be in water or the stones fall out...expensive pieces of junk. I still wear it anyway there's still 3 stones left! HA)I'm really in love with those rings up there. Especially the Jaguar. Swoooon! Miso Pretty chap stick is my absolute favorite, I've been using that blossoming cherry flavored one since I was 17! I just ran out of it again ( I go through it pretty quickly) and now my lips feel lost and I don't want chapped lips. I'm just being silly but I really need a new one seriously. Anyways...

What did you ask for??
