Fashion in art

George Barbier is one of my all time favorite artists. You can see he was inclined to paint beautiful woman with a strong asian influence. I love asian art as well and have lots in my home already. I wish all of his prints would end up lining my home for daily outfit inspiration.

Love!

I've always been a fan of light denim, and have been stocking up for years, YEA!!! Photo from who what wear. You can see one of my DIY pairs here. I recently added even more holes but need to wash them again so they fray properly.

Boho leather sandals

Cutest 80's romper!!

Found!

I've been on a mission to find the perfect brown summer shoes. I finally scored today after taking a bunch of clothing to crossroads to sell. I sold a ton of stuff and didn't find anything I wanted in trade, so I just got the cash. I then headed up the block to the thrift store which happened to he having a 50% off everything sale. It was there I found these early 90's gladiator shoes from Wild Pair, they are super comfy too, which is great. I have a hard time wearing heels because the comfy factor is usually not there. The hunt is over for now. I Love thrifting! It's like you send out a message to the universe and it answers your call. It's always been like that and I love it. THANKS UNIVERSE!!

This is what I wore a couple weeks ago to see Tracy Morgan, he was pretty funny but all he talked about was sex. I think he could have been a little more creative. Sex is just too easy and safe. Every time I see a famous person live I wonder why they are all so short.

Yes this was taken in a bathroom :) Picture is dark, so click for more detail.

Happy Mothers day!

Missing my mom, she is in a different state that I am. Here is a picture of us on our trip to Italy in 2006, what a great memory.

academy of art spring fashion show, grad students part 2

The top few photos are a collaboration with two students, one did the clothing design and the other did the textile design. Again sorry for the picture quality, I had to zoom in because I was far away.

Academy of art spring fashion show, grad students part 1

I shot a ton of photos at the academy of art's fashions show a couple weeks ago. I lost my camera cord until recently, sorry the blog has been backed up. There are a lot more posts from this fashion show to come. These photos are not the best quality, I was in the balcony and had my camera on 6X zoom. As always you can click on photos for more detail. I was very impressed with the quality of design from the students. It was evident why this is one of the best fashion schools in the country.

I loved this designers pants, the overalls with wide legs (below) were one of my faves from the entire show.

UH OH

Kiefer Sutherland HEAD BUTTED Jack McCollough so hard that he BROKE the designer’s nose! All this drama last night at Sub mercer, after the met gala. I am going to find out all the details I can from a family member who is close friends with Jack. I'll let you know when I do. Jack, one half of Proenza Schouler, is reportedly still in the hospital!
