D's art

did this on friday as a tribute to michael jackson after watching "this is it."

the other night, my nephew came to my room to look around. i gave him this piece to give to his mom/my sister and he went running up the stairs saying, "look! art!" i love him. he's so cute.

D's outfits and my weekend...

it's hot in nyc. really hot. so hot that i am kinda hoping that it will rain and the humidity will go away for a little while because it's making my hair really big and unmanageable to the point where i have given up trying to tame it.

this whole "going all natural phase" is hard.

anyway, i spent my hot ass saturday in brooklyn (my 2nd trip of the year!) at a rooftop party. too bad i'm lame and forgot to take pics.

here's what i wore:

outfit details: skirt - h&m, top - target, new flip flops - old navy (courtesy of my sis!)

this outfit was the BEST "brooklyn-bday-outdoor-rooftop-bbq-then-to-the-heights-for-another-bday-party" outfit.

i woke up super late today and spent my day being lazy...especially after i realized how much hotter it was when i stepped outside to pay the delivery guy for my egg and cheese sandwich. 

so when i ran out to throw some red, white and blue lights on my parent's balcony, i threw on this outfit:

outfit details: hello kitty tank - gift from my awesomely talented artist cousin, shorts - the bf's old pants

 i am obsessed with this new tank. my cousin is awesome.

i also tried to take a pic of my new dr. pepper squeezy lip balm but i failed.

 this pic is still hilarious to me.

i hope everyone had a great (COOL) weekend!!

D's art

this is, by far, the freakiest little color painting thing i've done to date. all with those water soluble crayons on a scrap piece of canvas paper.

my sis has claimed it and we are going to frame it. BUT--the way i cut the canvas paper, it's all crooked and eerie. idk what i was thinking.

i'm pretty happy with what i've been whipping out lately.

D's art

i took these pics. can you believe it? i love how dreamy they are.

the only problem is this:

out of a possible 24 prints, only 6 were printable.

something's up with my settings on my 35mm camera. does someone want to give me a good tutorial? i really love taking pics...but i want to get MORE from the film...

check out more artwork from different artists i know here. everyone's so damn talented.

D's inspiration

i was loving this week's postsecret.

daily reminder.

the beginning scene of "up" makes me cry...

D's art

new art.

this is what happens when i play with water soluble crayons and canvas paper. idk what the hell i was doing. but i tried. now it's time to mess with some my oil pastels instead.

D's inspiration

i'm really loving watercolors lately. wanna incorporate it into my drawings.

D's father's day wish

i <3 dad!

i'm wearing the tshirt i got for doing the father's day prostate cancer run earlier today. 

i decided i wanted to cut it a bit...but i may cut it even more...we'll see. i just wanted to wear something appropriate for when i went to have dinner with my parents.

anyway,

happy father's day to all of the incredible dad's out there...especially my own father!

D's outfits and more about shecky's

i FINALLY found my camera wire so that i can upload pics to my blog. 

*happy dance*

here's what i haven't posted yet:

this is a work outfit from when i was house and dog sitting for a week.

outfit details: black sweater and blue tank - h&m, skirt - f21, shoes - shop in harlem for $20!, dog - OREO...she's cute.

i was super excited to wear this outfit for shecky's but then i snapped some pics of it and i hated it. this pic is ok...so i decided to post it.

outfit details: shirt - shop in harlem, skirt - AA, shoes - payless

i wish this skirt fit me a little differently. i need to rethink this.

AND FINALLY--my pics from shecky's:

my girl, colorful brands, found her cousin selling his goodies at shecky's as well. we snapped a pic with him and then i snapped a pic of my their new 2-finger rings. they're really cute....

D's outfit

i know, i've been slacking with the outfit posts.

part of the problem is that i couldn't find the cord for my camera and so i haven't been able to upload any pics. excuses excuses. then, photobooth takes strange pics so i wasn't comfortable doing that. i gave in today and just snapped my outfit pics with photobooth.

purple long sleeve shirt and navy cardigan- h&m, shorts - the boo's (i've been living in these shorts and i don't care how big they are for me), belt/scarf - it's so old i don't remember, shoes - payless (i've been living in these shoes--they only cost me $10 and are SOOO comfy).

i've been on a staycation all week and i thought i would have done a lot more than i have...thankfully, i still have tomorrow and the weekend to do more! it's not that i'm not enjoying my staycation, it's that i seriously thought i would be whipping out the artwork everyday. and, yea, not so much.

i promise a post a little later today announcing the winner of the created by fortune giveaway! super excited to award someone with the headband!
