My Colors Are Blush and Bashful

E.A.S.T. Art Party

These are some photos from local artists' work that I had the pleasure of taking at the East Austin Studio Tour (E.A.S.T.) launch party 

I was fortunate enough to find this artist on Intstagram (@evilpanda). He's always posting charming little sketches. I love his work.

This was one of my favorite pieces at the party. A steal at only $90. I spoke to the artist for a bit, but of course I forgot her name. I wonder if she sold it. 

Another instagram buddy's handiwork. Check out his website. Tan leather is a huge staple of mine.

And lastly the outfit. I was so tired after this party, this is only picture of me I remembered to take. I'm wearing American Apparel (skirt, dress worn as top) and Urban Outfitters (vest).

Breezy summer day

Blue and green are two of my favorite colors. I'm a Cancer/ Pisces Rising so it only follows. I love the reflection of the city on the water. 

I'm not over you

A few trends I'm just not over yet. I'm not a very trendy person, I like what I like. However, when trends fall in line with my personal aesthetic taste, I indulge. 

1. Peplum. Some people regard this cut with quite a bit of scorn. I believe I like it because it reminds me of a time when skirts were bustled, and worn over crinoline. They're so delightfully feminine.

2. Colored denim. I love these BCBG jeans. This color will work well in many a season to come.

3. Glittery pumps. I hate pumps. I'm just not very goo at walking in them, but I love sparkle! These Rachel Roy (love her!!) pumps will be a long time favorite. 

What are some trends you can't get over?

Something Unexpected

The daily temperature here in Texas is still averaging 100 degrees, but personally I'm ready for fall. The dress I'm wearing is a great little summer number, though (H&M). I'm wearing it with a pale pink slip (Free People). While it does look very sweet on it's own, I'm all about layering. The tuxedo jacket (Willow & Clay) and moto-boots (Naturalizer) add unexpected dimension to a rather simple dress.
