D&G Spring 2011

I'm really excited that D&G re-introduced floral prints and bandanas into their spring 2011 collection.

And of course I LOVE the huge shades!!

Their entire Spring 2011 collection is really cheerful;

tuns of color, big prints and girly ,girly dresses.

Plus their runway was absolutely adorable! the models walked down a makeshift garden.

(some even carrying gardening tools)

ahhhh the smell of spring!!

This was so fun to draw using my tablet!

And no! I will wear this dress..;)

just wanted to use this pic cuz it had the floral print, bandana and shades all in one.

ps.i don't know if you can tell but i built up the model's dress with the patch tool on photoshop..if only it was that easy in real life!

have a cheerful week,

everyone needs a little bit of chill

Tonight i picked up my friend from college at about 10 p.m. We then went to a cafe for supper.When we got there we realized they only took ca$h. So we went to the bank got some $ and headed back. Then we both ordered yummy hot chocolates with a chocolate bar and whipped cream. Then I got a caesar salad for supper and we shared a fries. We took a hot chocolate soufflé with 2 scoops of ice cream to go, that we ate in the car. We ate, laughed and had a nice chilling chill.
When i got home i texted her:
"10 lbs heavier, 10 lbs happier" 
she responded:
"worth the wait, worth the weight"
aren't we funny :)
now back to work...
ps.These pictures are from this cool, smooth little blog I just chanced upon called Paris vs New York
pps. I'm feeling really relaxed b"h
hope you feel chilled too,

one phone call away...

                                                the song

Q: What's this music video doing on my blog?
A:Last night, my friend Westy sent me link to a very talented photographer's website by the name of, Rochel Fellig. I have here some of her stunning photos. But anyway back to the answer, playing in the background was this song. I felt like this song was heaven sent , just when I needed it . I've listened to it probably 10 times + since 12 a.m. last night. I have here the karaoke version with the lyrics so you can catch the words.
*In short the song's meaning is that :"we're all one phone call from our knees" - we never know what info we'll hear that will make us fall down in shock. But all these challenges just bring us "closer to love"- eventually we'll see it was all for our good and we'll ended up benefiting from the challenge. And end up happier!
(Now you know why I liked the song so much ;))
and ps. he's an artist too..in music, I mean.
Stay warm and cozy,

the key to my heart

How can i go with out mentioning a new and very popular trend, the tiffany key pendant! I got mine last year as a gift from someone I drove home from college. I never thought much of it until this year when I saw many people wearing it, and I'm like "hey it's cute"! And now I love it!

Funny Story: I went to my friend's house wearing it and her mom freaked out. She was like what are you wearing?! I told her "a key necklace." She told me her aunt wears the key to her late father's grave around her neck, and that's what it reminded her of.(ODD)

ps. I painted that key last year. Had nothing to do with a necklace, was just a key. And now I got to use it for my post YAY!

pps. Westy has the 3rd key If I recall correctly.

ppps. no one has the key to heart yet..lol

take care,

paint the town PINK

On Wednesday I didn't feel very well. My throat hurt, my chest hurt and I pretty much felt sick. sick. sick. So I did what I used to as a little girl when I felt under the weather.I got into cozy pj's ,made myself a hot chocolate and took out my art materials. Then I sat there for the next while, relaxing over my paints and brushes. The best part was that I didn't prepare a word for teaching YA! I stayed home on thursday and went to the Dr. for a throat culture. Thank G-d it was negative.I guess I'll stay on tea and advil till I feel better. This picture was done with watercolor and gauche. I copied the model from a mag. I left out the bike (too complicating to draw) and added a bubble gum pink back ground. 
These photos are unedited, unphotoshoped,raw from the camera
Hope you like it!

DANNIJO

Obsession Update: I've been looking for a new statement necklace for a while now,but haven't found anything too "wow!". Today while surfing some fashion blogs I stumbled across DANNIJO. This line was started in 2008 by two, 20-something year old sisters, Danielle and Jodi Snyder.They started their business in a small studio with little investment. However, their big determination and amazing talents payed off. Now,their jewelry is worn by many celebrities, in the press and sold in over 60 stores nation wide, including Bergdorf Goodman. I absolutely looove!! their pieces. They claim it's well priced, but I beg to differ! For now I will just admire their lovely pieces (and start saving).
Q:would you wear it? ,tell me what you think!
HAVE A SPARKLY DAY!!
