I had five months of time on my hands...and during the warmest of the year...did I travel, no...well at the very end, but I was only there for 14 hours...did I catch up on all the stuff I never have time for...like paint and read excessively and relaxing...not really. I spent most of the time freaking out that I had too much time on my hands. I wish I was the type of gal who could take long walks without the need to go as fast as I can...or lie on the beach, in a bathing suit or tench and just be still...


...or even be in my house without working and not feel really guilty about it. I can't seem to stand still unless its to stop and think about what I should be doing, but forgot because I am doing 18 things at once. Ah, to be able to just stop...that would be nice...but then I guess that I would no longer be me...

6. Reem Acre
7. Nanette Lepore

And that concludes what I loved from Spring '09 lines at the New York Shows!

 

I know the New York Fashion Week anded so long ago, but I was really into it this year and enjoyed going through each collection ever so much. So today is the last day I will blather on about it, I promise...but it will be in two posts.

I had to share these two Badgley Mischka images as I loved the use of fabric in both of these...my obsession with lightweight beautiful textiles continues...and the feathers, oh the feathers!


Looking for length?

I am loving the long, long necklaces right now, I think they are a great fresh way to play with jewelry, and I even added two to ManicTrout.com the other day!

The Logan Everythings Magic Necklace measures 32.5 inches and features a sentimental heart locket hanging from a this brass chain which is adorned with amethyst swarovski crystals and is $50.


The Tekoa Just Like Magic Necklace is 32", made of beautiful vintage brass chain and is ornamented with three leafy charms and amethyst and lavender glass.

 

Something about this collection reminds my a great deal of my early years in cgr, it must be the colors...very computer generated aspect to the textiles...





 

I don't think I've admired a piece of clothing with legs in ages...how odd...anyway, no idea where I found this image from, but I love it and thought I would share...

p.s. don't forget to check out the amazing new goodies at ManicTrout.com!

So I was playing around online instead of making jewelry or working last night, and I designed some shoes! I have been told more then once to that it would be cool to incorporate my paintings into jewelry, and I am working on that...but until then you can own my paintings on your shoes!

Pleasure of My Company

I think Keds is trying to catch up on the DIY movement, and although I am a die hard, old school Vans fan...they won't let me put my painting on them...so I may switch over.
Complexities of Intimacy

If you go check them, please give them a nice rating as I'm curious to see what happens if the word spreads...
