Dirty Glasses

Self portraits are not my favorite things. If I thought I was that interesting to look at you would have seen a photo of me on here earlier. This is the final result of a project for my creative process class where we had to do a variation on a theme. My glasses are just a little over a year old & already they have become an integral part of my identity. Before 2011 I was never the blonde boy with glasses. It is a love hate relationship; & if I had a dollar for every time I got a finger print on them I would not need my new job as a waiter. (well that is all the update on my life that is necessary)

Romantic Flowers in time for Valentines

(& yes that is Measha Brueggergosman)

these flowers just got fancier 

So this past weekend I had the joy of creating some moody romantic flowers for a intimate concert performed by none other then Measha Brueggergosman. If you don't know her or her gorgeous voice, let google introduce you. Curly willow, driftwood, seeded eucalyptus, and little leaves I made from vintage sheet music, complemented a variety of different blooms. Check out more my "flower" blog for more photos.

This is a look I sketched by hand & then coloured on my computer. A print skirt worn with a coat, opaque tights and black heals. I may try to flesh out a whole collection based around the inspiration I was using for this look.

Just thought I would share a few things I have been finding on Pinterest in the last little while. 

Stella seems to have a pension for florals & I am not complaining.

I might not wear the gloves but the rest of this look from Burberry is working for me. 

If you are not yet a fan of green a word of caution; that dress will seduce you.  

Carven is bringing some intense pattern to the table & people are eating it up.

The last one is to over indulge in your eye candy sensory. 

Happy Weekend!
