hours away from now...


darlings.
.....as you all know tomorrow is my launch day for my first screen print art collection!
I am beyond excited about it! .... mostly because I hope and believe that these pieces will bring inspiration to the people who choose to embrace them. In my own home I have surrounded myself with things that inspire me, wether is be a brilliant quote hand written on a crumpled piece of paper, a half finished painting hanging in my kitchen, a photo of a family member, an experimental textured canvas piece leaning against a shelf.... these things somehow speak to me and encourage me to create everyday. They remind me to lighten up and enjoy my work. They remind me to play.

On the eve of my launch I want to say that everyone of you who read this blog and are inspired by it... you are the ones who inspire me. I may not know you personally but knowing you are reading this inspires me.

The above photo is a tiny sneak peak into the collection launch tomorrow. Until then, good night:) xo.

and so it begins...my love.


hello beauties.
tonight I write to you all with a smile on my face...
As many of you now know I am about to launch my first ever screen print art collection "BORN FOR THIS" and if no one else ever saw them, I'd still be smiling. Why, you ask? Because the concepts and messages represented in this collection have been inside of me for years and have finally bubbled up over the surface in the form of art prints, and its like I've just given birth to a baby. deep eh? yes, it is:)
Now, I do not want to just flat out show them to you before the launch date... (even though I would like to... but that would kinda defeat the purpose of a launch date...lol) but I will give you a little insight into my thought process. You see, I was not really intending to launch a "collection"... or even any prints at all. However, after a series of doodles in my sketch book that began to tie together and form messages, I thought.... "hey, this would be kinda cool on a wall in a creative studio or something...".... and so, it began. A little idea to maybe print out one or two message driven art prints, turned into a 12 piece collection. My only governing thought while making these was... "what would inspire me?"... "what would I put up in my design office? or frame and put up on the wall in my living room?". Messages surround us everywhere we go, but I wanted to be intentional about what I surround myself with. I want to be inspired every day to grow, to take chances, to laugh... to be light hearted.

Now, since I am making you all wait for the release date...
NOV. 15
I at least wanted to wet your appetite and show some photos of unexpected messages, inspiring places and textures that helped shape the collection.
enjoy. xo

NYC Fashion Week...


hey there beauties;)
here is a great vid from fashion week in New York.... I mean obviously the fashion is stunning and the beauty is...well, next level, but the thing I notice is that this vid is all about the models. Its like watching the life of a model during fashion week. I must admit I had to giggle when I saw the faces of many of the models and how bored they looked! lol... what can I say girls... in fashion its all about the "hurry up and wait" syndrome.... its like waiting around all day to be told to move at the time people ask you to... in the way you are told to.... models are chameleons and they must be ready to play a new role at every show... and honestly I think it takes a lot of patience to be in this world and be fresh faced for every client. To all the models reading this blog, you are not just a beautiful face and a body, you are a special person and one of a kind.
Enjoy the vid ladies. xo.

vintage & reinvention.


darlings,
its no secret that I have a love for vintage shops and markets. Its like a playland for me to find something that inspires me to reinvent it and incorporate it into my life. So when I came across these shots of Brooklyns flea markets on the tuula vintage blog, I had to stop and day dream for a moment...:) These photos make me want to take a detour while on tour and somehow have a stop over in New York for a day.... and walk through the markets with the hubby in tow. Chris and I love to wander through antique and vintage shops in search of hidden gems. These are the things reinventions are made of. xo.
