So, the weather has been a bit all over the place this Spring. But, hey, some days the sky is just gorgeous. I recently sketched some clouds and had some fun with oil pastels. I’ve been thinking about the sky, the universe, and clouds are just what came out. I always wonder about the universe and how big it is. There are so many stars and nature and the planet simply inspire me.
Enjoy!

Hey everybody! I’m loving these Pink Sheep Heiress outfits! This New York city winter has been all over the place and enjoyed a warm day recently. Ballerina skirts are not just for your childhood ballet days. This skirt and this purple leather jacket from the Spring 2016 Pink Sheep Heiress collection are just fabulous. Purple is one of my favorite colors so I really enjoyed wearing it.
I also just loved this striped shirt and wear-all-the-time zipper shorts from Pink Sheep Heiress. I paired them with vintage Prada heels (one of the best buys I’ve ever made). And guess what? We’re giving away a pair of these zipper shorts and cool skull print sunglasses! Simply enter to win here and the winner will be announced March 5th.

Speaking of hot sauce, and I mean in reference to Beyoncé’s new powerful video Formation, I make some mean hot wings. And, well it’s Superbowl time. I’m still kind of a sore loser as my Patriots didn’t make the cut but I’m excited at the prospect of Cam Newton winning to shut down the nay-sayers. Anyway, Happy Superbowl Sunday y’all! I never really use a recipe for hot wings (always eye-ball it) but this is a good estimate and yes, people always LOVE my wings!
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
10 chicken wings
vegetable oil for frying
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup hot sauce
black pepper to taste
pinch of garlic powder
Melt a lot of hot sauce with real unsalted butter in a small pot. Mix flour with salt, pepper, paprika and a pinch of garlic powder. Dredge the wings in buttermilk (if you have time, you can marinate them overnight in buttermilk) and then cover them in the flour mix. Fry in hot vegetable oil turning them to brown lightly on both sides. Drain them on a paper towel to soak up the extra oil. And then put the wings inside of the small pot with butter and hot sauce. Place on a plate and serve with blue cheese dressing and celery. Yummy! Enjoy.

So, I’m snowed in like everyone else in the Northeast right now. Jonas is not exactly a blizzard here in New York but it’s definitely dumping a lot of snow on us. I mean, I can’t even see outside too well because of this snow. Anyway, this kind of weather calls for some great snow boots. And why not be cute while you stay warm this winter? Check out these boots below and even more winter accessories here.

So, good dressing can really brighten up anybody’s winter. Sequins, beading, feathers whatever floats your boat. No. 21 has plenty of it for their Pre-Fall 2016 Collection. Check it out here.

So, like it or not, Barack Obama is now in his last year of office and delivered his final State of The Union address last night. While you might debate about the politics, you must admit (again) that Michelle Obama is one of the fiercest first ladies we’ve ever had. I mean, she is a huge fashion force and well, did you see her marigold Narciso Rodriguez dress last night?
It’s the perfect color for a mid-winter pick me up and it is a really versatile dress. I mean, you could really wear that to an office meeting, church or even brunch.
The dress is basically sold out everywhere but check out similar Narciso Rodriguez dresses here.
