crazy cool affordable art

Wahoo! At just 4 by 6 inches, I've found the perfect postcards to put in my new (blonde wood) wall frames.  They're like a little piece of the very cool John Derian right in my own home (at a much much smaller price….hello, $1.50/each!).  And they're just masculine enough to counteract & compliment some of the more bright and airy pieces I have hanging out on my walls now.  I think I am set on these 4 but I am already envisioning the melodramatic debate I'll have with myself once I see them all in person at the store! 

happy weekend!

hope you find time to do what you love.                                                                                                          Aqua by Martine Emdur

Dezso

Dezso by Sara Beltran.

Well isn't this the chicest funkiest beachiest jewelry ya ever did see?

So this is my life.  And I want you to know that I am both happy and sad and I’m still trying to figure out how that could be.

the crème de la crème

As the sweet hours of summer progress, each day seems to be hotter than the last.  I la-la-love this about summer and want to roll with this splendid season, not against it (translated: I have abandoned the better part of my wardrobe -- as it is full of black -- and just can't get enough of cream EVERYTHING).  And the best thing about cream (and other various shades of beige, nude and white....) is that there is no such thing as too much.  Tone on tone, a simple airy dress, a white flowy top with nude tailored capris (think Jackie O. in the 70's in Greece).....or, if you must cloak your body with another color (lets be honest, it's not like we can buy a WHOLE new wardrobe), your look and energy will be rejuvenated by switching out your black flats for a paid of these nude ones.  All of this just screams fresh, clean, chic and smart (because who wants to feel uncomfortable in sizzling temperatures?)...it's everything I want in a color (and man for that matter).  It's become my new summer wardrobe (a touch or head-to-toe), and I am not turning back! Want to join the party?

i just can't get enough....

I want to live my life in a world of these shades of blue.  Until then, I will surround myself in them as much as possible (I am feeling comin' for a change in paint color for my boudoir)! I can hear the ocean calling......
