Room Inspo w/Plants!

 Hey everybody! So today i'm going to make a post about cute room decorations, I've recently gotten into decorating my room a lot more, even though it's mostly just ideas and not actually doing anything..oops. Anyway, I thought I would just show you guys these room decorations that I've been obsessed with recently. They're cute little simple, pretty things that honestly would compliment any room.

           This first one is a little terrarium. (All of these are from Urban Outfitters) it doesn't come with the decorations inside of it, but if you go to Micheals i'm positive that they'll have fake moss and any kind of cute little trinkets you would want to put in it. I like it because it's like the vibe of a fish tank, but without the fish and water of course. It just adds a really cool look and is a creative shape. Plus you can change out the stuff that you put in it to match the season or your room theme.

This next one is such a cute idea I love it so much! It would be insanely easy to do on your own so I don't recommend actually purchasing it, when you can go and get some little test tubes like these from the container store or any store where sell trinkets/furniture.  It 's just a little test tube case with flowers stuck in, I would love to put some fresh daisies and dandelions from my backyard, with a little water in the bottom to keep it fresher, and then keeping them by my window. And then afterwards I would press them into pretty little pressed flowers with this flower press that I have. I guess it would just be a really nice touch, and i love the idea because test tubes and flowers are never seen together, and I like the contrast of that.

This next decoration thing is supposed to look like a fire escape, with plants all over it. I love succulents  and cacti (could you guess) and so i thought it was such a neat cute idea that I almost bought it. And then I realized that it was over $100 and sadly, I would rather not. I love how it looks like they are crowding over and growing out,and it reminds me of my family's apartment in paris. It used to be a painter's workshop/apartment, and you can eat on the roof and see the Panthéon, (it's literally a street over). It has these HUGE windows with a gorgeous view, and you can climb this ladder to a little garden. I honestly wish I live there year round, but we try to go every summer. We're super lucky to have that in the family. After that long ramble, basically the point I was trying to make was that it seems very city-like, what with how people put out little plants on their balconies and all over their roofs.  The apartment is the top in the building (no elevator so it's 8 flights of stairs!) so you can see everyone's plants and vegetation that they put in their homes and I love it so much! When I go back this summer I will do daily posts with what I do, and put a lot of pictures! Sorry this post was so off topic but I just got really excited for what's coming up! Anyways I hope you got some inspiration and enjoy the blog! Let us know what you want to see next and i'll talk to you cacti later!

Artist of the Week: Barry Mcgee

             Barry Mcgee is both a painter and graffiti artist from San Francisco. In my opinion, I find Mcgee to be a very cool artist because he plays with bold colors and creates bright patterns that are both perfect and imperfect. I know that sounds cheesy but what I am describing is how his hand drawn patterns allow every shape to be their own, meaning that the print will never line up because of the imperfections. Yet from afar, they seem to look almost computer generated with symmetry. His art is very iconic, with central figures dominating abstract backgrounds of drips, cubes, and color fields. Not only does he paint on canvas and walls but his work is displayed on glass bottles, spray cans, and even trains. His cartoon like style I find to be really captivating, and I am a big fan of his work. Enjoy!

Artist of the Week: Cristina Triufa

              

                  After one look at Cristina Troufa's art, I knew that she was an artist to remember. With her bold colors and large negative space, Cristina creates captivating art, that explores topics like state of mind, reincarnation and death. Painting to her is therapy. It is a form of medicine that allows her to express her emotions and questions onto paper. Cristina says that her work is about herself through many times of her life at once. Ultimately, the self portraits are her questions to the meaning of life. Each piece is extremely unique, yet it is clear that they all belong to Cristina's signature style. Enjoy!

Long sleeves make any outfit ready for winter!

Cold Weather? Doesn't matter!

With the weather getting colder it's time to bust out the sweaters and scarves, but you can still wear the same outfits with the power of long sleeves! BEHOLD! I'm tired of people thinking that just because the weather is getting colder that you can no longer wear your dresses and short sleeve tops anymore. You can! Below I have four pictures that show outfits that I normally wear in the summer. I added long sleeves so I could stay warm. Of course I would wear a jacket over them and with some outfits I add leggings. With long sleeves you can still wear your summer clothes comfortably in the cold.

Artist of the Week: Pat Perry

       Pat Perry is an American artist who spends most of his time drawing, sketching, and painting. He is constantly documenting the world he lives in through his photographs, journal entries, and sketchbook pieces. Perry's art proves to always have a deep and pensive theme. In an interview conducted by Justin Cooper, Perry described his art as a long track of digestion rather than a form of medicine. He said that his work allows him to take in the world around him, and to absorb all the elements which he documents in his drawings. Pat Perry's art is distinctive. At a glance it is easy to see his signature style of fine lines and distinct detail. I have always had an interest in his art because not only is it extremely aesthetically pleasing, but I know that all his work has meaning behind it. Every piece is a message, and  its up to the beholder to interpret it.

Lookbook- Feels Like We Only Go Backwards

       First Post Hope You Guys Like It!

Hello Everyone and welcome!



Im starting off with an older Lookbook of mine. Here I am wearing the crazy 7 inch Freda eye black heals by Jeffery Campbell that I bought off of Solestruck. My "diaper" shorts came from a thrift store called Hunt and Gather (Definitely making a post about that later ugh such a good store). I joke they are diaper shorts because it's true, they are literally a diaper, oh god im going to make a video to show you guys they are not actually like shorts but more of the pattern of shorts that no one sewed together so u have to tie them, its confusing. Finally my bag and shirt are from my online store novaandcher.tictail.com. The shirt is one of 3 custom made shirts with original designs u can find on the website. Check us out!
