Painting Bear on found wood

Today is the first day of Spring

I love spring. Unfortunately, my entire family suffers from allergies. I manage to forgive the happy budding life all around me. We have a Camellia bush in our front yard and it has pretty coral rose-like flowers that bloom in early March. The fallen petals inspired a fashion collage.

Watercolor illustrations by Jiiakuann

I came across the illustrations of Jiiakuann on flickr.  Her use of color and the way she creates patterns with her brush strokes has inspired me.

Outfit of the Day

I am excited about my first fashion collage. Here is a cute outfit that was inspired by outfit below. I have a true passion for fashion and I am adding a new blog feature, "Outfit of the Day." Pinterest, polyvore and the budget babe are great resources to find inspiration for adorable outfits.

I have all these items in my closet but rarely take the time to put a sophisticated outfit together. Earrings are from Southmoon Under, t-shirt from Old Navy, bracelet from Macy's, narciso rodriguez perfume was picked out by Hannah (daughter) and Joe (husband) (love it and them), skirt designer is unknown, basic Nine West pumps and boots.

Sophia Coppola directs a commercial for H&M

Sofia Coppola directed this commercial for Marni for H&M. From the lighting to the beautiful set in Marrakesh to one of my favorite songs by amazing, Bryan Ferry. Everything to make a cool commercial for Sofia’s first project in fashion. I want all the first dress in the video.
