Leather Wings

Hey guys, sorry for being MIA for the past few days. I've been crazy busy working on some projects that I'm really excited about.

I don't want to say too much right now, but hopefully I'll be able to share more with you guys soon!

Anyhoo, here's my outfit for the day.



I'm just crazy for the leather shoulder detailing on this shirt. The wings kind of give it this dark angel-y vibe, no?

Also on another note, my birthday is coming up at the end of this month! And I have no idea what to wear.

Anyone have any ideas/suggestions??

Lucy's Artbook

I have some exciting news to share..

I finally got my own Wacom Tablet!!! I've been wanting one for. ever. I use them to do digital paintings and such, but kept putting off getting one for myself as they can get quite pricy.

I used to just borrow them from my school resources office, but that opportunity vanished after I graduated.



Since then, I've just never had access to the proper tools to do the computer sketches/drawings I used to.

Well all that is about to change! I'm planning on doing them a lot more frequently now, and am hoping to really hone my skills.

Here's some of my past work.



 

Puppies & Ponytails

My outfit for the day; a romper/playsuit printed with little tiny Scottish Terriers (too adorable!) all over it.

I paired it with my vintage brown boots and a high bouncy pony-tail.





Anything that has pockets = bonus points for me :)


I love the collar cut-out detail at the top. Adds a little interest to an other-wise plain shape/cut.




What are some of your favorite ways to wear prints?

Layers in Vert

A cold, brisk afternoon perfected with a hot cup of matcha.

Wild Metallics

My outfit for the day.







Hidden amongst a sea of unwanted clothes, I found this little gem of a blazer. It's got this great animal print in a gold metallic texture, that I am just so in love with.

I got it for a STEAL at only $6!  I never used to be an advocate for vintage/thrift shopping, but after this experience I think I'll be doing it a lot more frequently.

And of course, I'll be sure to share my most exciting finds with all of you :)

Coco Chanel

I made this for a media class a while ago. The assignment was to pick a quote and create an appropriate and engaging image to go with it.

What are some of your favourite quotes?

Happy Jar

Happy New Year everyone! Hope you all enjoyed your first few days of the new year.

Do any of you have any new year's resolutions you want to share?

Well this year, I've decided to try something new. I'm going to start a Happy Jar.

The idea is every time something good happens to me, I'm going to write it down on a slip of paper, and put it in my Happy Jar. Then next NYE, I'll open it up and read about all the wonderful things that happened that year. I think it will be a great way to top off 2013 :) focusing on the positive, and reminding me of all the great memories that were created.

I just took a jar I had lying around, and decorated it with some ribbon, twine and a heart made from aluminum foil. The slips of paper are from this cute little notebook I got at the night market for only $1.









I'm really looking forward to filling this jar up with Happy.
