Swimsuit Season: A Few Cute Bathingsuits

Hey there, TGIF! How are you doing? So, we’ve entered the Spring season and I hope you’re enjoying it. It’s almost time to put on a bikini and sit by the pool. If you’re like me you probably have a bunch of bathing suits already. Does it really hurt to have a few more new ones? Not at all! I came across a few new swimwear pieces from God Saves Queens, Reina Olga, Diesel and Oséree that I just love. Check out a few more below!

Spring Bottega Veneta Fishnet Heels

Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Spring is here and I’m loving the weather.  I recently copped these cute, green Bottega Veneta fishnet heels that are just perfect for the season. I’ve had this Good American dress for a bit and have actually become a fan of the brand. It’s comfortable, lightweight and stretches! Here are a few cute, similar Bottega Veneta heels that are available through Nordstrom. Enjoy!

Last Call for the M2 “Sunset on a Florida Parking Lot” Collection

Hey there! So designing this collection was amazing and I am so proud of myself. As you may know, I designed a small spring/summer collection inspired by my Sunset on a Florida Parking Lot painting. Well, this is the last call before I make it an archived collection. 

In these photos, I am wearing the Sunset on a Florida Parking Lot skirt as well as bandeau top. They are both on sale and the sequin denim are great for the Fall. And, don’t worry about me, they always say “this too shall pass.”

What’s your favorite piece of the collection?

Rainbow Sketch and Paula Cademartori Tatiana Bag

So, there are plenty of multicolored accessories this Spring/Summer 2016 season. I recently did an oil pastel sketch of a rainbow contrasted with rain. You know what they say, when it rains it pours but the sun has to come out eventually.

This Paula Cademartori Tatiana Bag has some of the same colors in the rainbow. She has a number of brightly colored accessories for the season. Check out the bag in the Fashion Shop and bring on the color!tatianabag

Pretty Blue Clouds

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!

Spring Fashion Sketch, Art Gifts and Therapy

IMG_3456

As the weather starts to turn to winter, I am reminiscent of this past summer. And I am already looking forward to Spring 2016.

After having finished FIT, I’ve been on the grind working on some special projects including new artwork and fashion sketches. Art has been my therapy for years. I can get lost with a brush and some color.

Speaking of artwork, we’ve got some great prints that would make fabulous holiday gifts. We can also take your favorite print and make pillows, coffee mugs and other items. Head over to the artwork shop and inquire within for more info!
