Anne Leibovitz's Disney Campaign

Anne Leibovitz's series for the Disney Dream Campaign is absolutely gorgeous! I literally giggled at the sight of these and thought you guys would get a kick out of them, maybe not as much as me but a kick is a kick nonetheless. It doesn't get much better than this for a girl who loves fashion and animation☆ ;)

I <3 LA

The next time I go back I'll take my sketchbook, The Getty is great for people watching..lol..February can't come fast enough...wait I take that back, maybe it can I need more dough for my vintage fix ;)

A necklace from a dear friend, it was a christmas present some years ago, i love it so much its simple but has a little sparkle. I'd like think that pretty much sums me up as a person..lol, i wear it with everything I also sleep in it :D ..LOL enjoy the pics :D

Randomness

I used to get offended when I felt I was slighted, passed over, or over looked. But as I get older I've grown to see the blessing in letting things go that I thought I wanted. Especially as it relates to relationships. I'm so thankful for continued growth, renewal of spirit, bright hopeful eyes, and lessons learned.

-love is light☆

Alice and the Angels











These pieces were done in a collab with photographer River Clark, some of my fav collab pieces ever! I've gotta do some more soon, I haven't had a time to do just some fun art pieces in a while because I've been doing so much corporate work lately. Hope you guys like them :D

Musing

Model: Vanessa Marie


I hope all of you are having a safe holiday out there. I had a ton of work to do today so I spent the majority of it listening to college football and working on a project for a client. I was just watching the USC/Oregon game and the SC defense was dressing me so I thought I'd do some musing when suddenly I came across this beautiful piece by my lovely photog friend Laretta Houston and the equally lovely Vanessa Marie. This just makes me feel like I could just fly away..LOL. I love how ethereal and yet goth it is, stunning work ladies <3 u both!!!

Tea Time



Christian Siriano's S/S10 runway show



Celestial Seasonings Perfectly Pear White Tea


This morning I had this delicious tea by Celestial Seasonings and I just had to share, since I've been gushing to my friends all day about how much I loved it. This morning while I was sipping my cup of Perfectly Pear goodness I also had the chance to do some musing on the net where I came across Christian Siriano's latest pieces from his S/S 10 line and I must say these looks have me ready for a tea party..LOL

Treasure Hunt



most of my accessories consist of my grandmother's jewelry, i love wearing it, always reminds me of her ;)






vintage top, mom's belt, F21 jeans and sweater , random bracelets




This weekend was my first time venturing out and going to some second hand shops in town and I must say I was very happy with what I found. I have two other jackets and two other shirts that I got so I'll post those as I wear them. I think when I go back I'll look for some dresses, brooches, clutches (for Christmas gifts I'm working on), bracelets, and rings...Oh my! :D

Painting the Past

Hey guys, so I'm trying to get better at blogging every week so bear with me..lol. This week was pretty busy with letterhead and business card designs and a poster design for Savannah State University's Liberal Arts department. I really enjoyed working on that and got to have a lot of fun with the direction of it.

I'm also about to start two watercolor paintings for my parents' Christmas presents. My mom will be receiving a portrait of herself as a baby with her mother and my father will be receiving a portrait of his father. I'll be posting more progress shots over the weekend but here are my reference photos for the paintings. Good thing my parents don't read my blog..lol



my grandmother with my mother and five of her siblings. My grandmother had two more children so there 4 boys and 4 girls total. I don't know how she did but she held everyone and my grandfather down! ;)




My grandfather on my dad's side. He lives up in Jersey now and used to play for the Black Yankees in the negro leagues. He looks EXACTLY like my dad..lol
