graffiti

Ever since watching Exit Through the Gift Shop I've had a different view of graffiti and graffiti artists. Here are a couple local inspirations

"Danger toxic debt". Whoever did this to my local BofA ATM: I want in

Pretty quality so far as bathroom stall art goes, notice no hearts

lately

Some random photos from the last few months:

Glasses, hair and henna

Look at the resemblance between the lit windows and the decorative tree lights

I love brick walls indoors

 

April 1st

tank and stripes

I made this tank a few weeks ago, those days when it was still freezing and the more summer clothing I made the colder it got.. and I never did make that sweater I was intending to make..
This is the classic drawstring tank, the third one like this that I made. The drawstring straps are simple to make and I like the looseness of the tank - it's fun to wear. The fabric is a cotton blend, a little thick and a little transparent at the same time.
Wearing it with thrifted phard jeans, gap sweater, old shoes and random bag.

Tim Burton exhibit

Photos from my mini road-trip to Toronto.
So there's a pretty big cow theme here.  Which I didn't realize until looking at these photos.
We got lucky and it was a beautiful day - we got to wander all over the city.
The people were chill and friendly, the apparent jay-walking rules were bizarre, the city was big but not too dense and carlsberg wasn't a specialty beer.
It was a good trip.

These are a summary of my trip to nyc last weekend.
There were broken umbrellas and puddles everywhere after all the rain. I saw an intact ice cream cone lying in a pool of water on the sidewalk and very much regret not getting a photo. But what can you do. I'll have to keep my eye out in the future.

Coming out of hibernation

Look, spring. Crazy.
These were shot wandering around Boston last weekend. Wearing Forever21 t-shirt, LF sweater and thrifted Free People pants that you can't see.
Happy Marathon Monday

summer pattern

This is a dress I recently made..
The fabric is jersey. I had less than I thought so the top panel in the back was made out of plain black jersey.  I'm happy with it - the fabric has an interesting pattern and I like the shape of the dress.
I modified this free pattern to make it. Currently working on making my own patterns and give myself more options to work with..
Worn here with Jeffrey Campbell Roks wedges.
