camila de rosario

I have a flickr account which at this point I mostly use just to favorite other people's art works. One of my favorite artists of the moment is Camila de Rosario whose illustrations are beautiful to say the least. I love her use of color, patterns and collage. Here are some of her works, see more at her flickr.

on the prowl

Summer has arrived which means I have a whole bunch of time to scour the internet in search of inspiration. Since I'm sketching a lot again (finally) I've been looking at mainly fashion inspiration, mainly a lot of old pictures/patterns of stuff from the 1920's-1940's that make me want to jump in the nearest time machine and travel back a few decades.

After working for the Daily Californian for an entire semester I finally got my name in print! Yay for special issues that take until 3:30am to complete the night before your 8 am final.....But this makes it almost worth it :)

the never ending reading list

Books I'd rather be reading instead of studying for finals. I'll take Kelly Cutrone & Chelsea Handler over Hobbes & Rousseau any day.

Ps. I have never read Catcher In the Rye....GASP I know. We'll try to fix that this summer.

film

I've been playing around with my Grandma's old film camera as of late and really like the quality of some of the photos. There's a certain dream-like aspect to film that you just can't get with digital....here are some of my favorites:

MET Gala 2010 Fashion Favorites

So the MET Gala happened which means I now get to lust over all of the stunning outfits worn on the red carpet. I know lust is a vice and all but I just can't help it, and if I'm going down I'm taking you with me so here are a few of my favorites from the night. Try to keep the drooling to a minimum mmk?

(The left = love) 

Everyone seems to be gravitating more towards pastels/pale earth tones these days including myself. I'm in love with the soft beige in both Kate Bosworth & Sarah Jessica Parker's dresses. And of course I had to sneak in the gold jump suit. I just couldn't help myself. And all the bare backs! Fab-u-lous.
