The photo is by Olivia Graham- who I refer to as Olivia Glam. and those SHOES? They are louboutin for marchesa (and I have been spending hour after hour wondering how I can make them louboutin for Dallas Shaw).
Been dying to tell you who I'll be working with next. Sharing a BIG announcement with all of you tomorrow on the blog, as well as on twitter.

pretty picture: fun on bicycles
Love b&w photography, bicycles, & girls having FUN!
[unfortunately, these cute chicas are missing helmets! my lovely roomie, with her sexy pink helmet would definitely disapprove!]

I spent an entire 5 days with some friends (love you sam and kim) in the outer banks- which for me is an eternity. Pretty much b/c is you are a successful creative person, you work every second of every day. I did get some work done, just from the sand.
Now I am back, and back to drawing all things fashion. Here are a few things that remind me of my time among the jellyfish and ghost crabs.

design: calming living room
love this living room:
what jumps out at me:
- simple design
- beautiful aqua blue as only color
- gray [or silver?] bird mural/wallpaper
all in all, I think this room is beautiful and has a really calming feel
found on the blog AphroChic
i want: bejeweled shoes
bejeweled Miu Miu sandals
The front of the sandals show a super pretty blend of metallic blue, silver, and gold criss-cross straps; the back adds a surprising cluster of gems, adding a glam touch - so fun!

i want: california cutting board
i love california, i have so many happy memories there and cannot stop dreaming of a day where i am finally able to pack up and leave the Midwest for the Golden State. needless to say, i am currently stuck out in the hot and muggy middle of America, meaning that i am magnetically drawn to any reminder of my favorite state. today i found a California cutting board! :
ohhh I would love to serve up some brie off this pretty board! and the heart over L.A.? - how clever!
design: unique kitchen seating area
check it out:
what i love about this kitchen seating area:
- tall purple seats
- dark tile
** unique candelabra! **
i could totally see myself eating cereal and reading the newspaper here in the morning :)

to do: DIY decor
I'm a fairly crafty girl and I'm also on what the roomies and I like to call a "bujay" [think "budget" pronounced with a terrible fake-French accent]. The natural solution to overcoming this decorating obstacle is creating my own unique designs. Here is a sampling of DIY projects I have found, to be filed away for when I have the time and drive to make them.

~~I'm super excited to tackle these projects and when I finally do, I'll definitely post pictures!
botkier + purse blog
As most of you may know- aside from this blog I am a full time artist in the fashion industry. I recently had the pleasure of working with purseblog and botkier on their most rceent collaboration. You will be able to see headers soon at purseblog, and you can see these images right now at their twitter page. Isn't the bag they designed fantastic?

while I'm away
I am with a few friends in the outer banks. For those of you who know me, you know that the mini trip is much needed. I have worked harder than I ever have in my life this past month. While I am away, I wanted to hare a few pretty photos that I enjoyed this week. I'll be here while I'm gone!
