I hope everyone is having a great week.  I decided for tonight’s post to do something a little different.  Rather than focusing on fashion I decided to focus on the artistic realm of tatoos.  Although I am not the biggest fan of tatoos, I have to say these are pretty great.  Most of the ones I found were of some of my favorite books.  I love how precise all the details are in these.  I posted the website in which I got the photos from.  Please comment and tell me what you guys think!

I was walking through the park and saw these shoes. I really loved them and decided to be somewhat creepy and photograph them.

All These Moving Parts

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERAWhile I was shopping in Montreal I found these incredible necklaces.  The tool necklaces were made out of actual bicycle tools!  I loved how the designer used the chairs and bicycle tools.  These pieces are definitely unique ones that are rarely found.  If you ever see some I would definitely pick up one!  Which necklace would you buy, a chair or a tool necklace??

 

Oh Canada!

I have not been a good blogger as of late.  I did not inform many of you that I was away in Canada for the past week. My family and I took some TLC time off and traveled across the border to ski, shop, and relax.  We spent five days up at Mont Tremblant skiing and getting lost on the mountain :p!  We then traveled for two days to the wonderful city of Montreal.  There I went on a great shopping tour (highly recommend) and ate amazing food.  It was truly an amazing trip and hope to go back sometime to capture more of the city.  Hope you enjoy some of these photos I took.

I took this ages ago, but thought today was the best day to post it.  I thought these were the cutest cupcakes.  The colors remind me of the cakes from Sofia Coppola’s Marie Antionette.  I love the little berries on top.  It’s a nice little treat.

Union Square


OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA
It has been too long since I last posted. I have to say my goal of blogging more blogging id not exactly going as I planned.  But have no fear because, I started taking this photography class.  It is super awesome and every time I go I come out with a giant smile on my face.  Last week when hanging around Union Square after class, I also began to realize that sometimes I can be super creepy when photographing people.  Sometimes creepy can be good, but other times people genuinely don’t appreciate being photographed unexpectedly.  So my goal for the next few months are to find people voluntarily willing to take a photo.

P.S. this woman’s jacket is so cool!

A Fashionable Winter


Lately, if you haven’t been outside (or live in a really warm area), it has been flipping FREEZING!!.  It’s like Mother Nature woke up one day and decided that this week was the best time to drop temperatures.   But, winter also has it perks.  For example,  as a big fun of layers what time better than winter to layer up.  But, winter also has it’s downsides.  Most of the time you are under a big coat with hats and scarves.  So I thought tonight’s post should reflect the efforts the fashionable go to look amazing in the winter.  Here are the top three looks that I thought were great for this season.

I am in love with both these images.  The use of light and color is gorgeous.  I also love the old camera!
