Love This Look

Was I a hippie in my past life? Love this look from the Denim Factoria.

Typography

I found a new site for inspiration called inspiredology.com. I couldn't pass up posting a few of my favorite typographical pieces for my photo blog.

Detroit Architecture

I have always had a special place in my heart for Detroit seeing that my Grandmother (God rest her soul) was from this once thriving city. She would tell us stories of growing up in Detroit and made it sound so glamorous, but it was always so hard to believe given the only thing I really can relate to Detroit is a bunch of old broken down buildings in neighborhoods that are unsafe. I still have hope for the great city though, eventually it will be revamped and the center for urban living once more. I read the Design Guide (I recommend you read this if you plan on going to Detroit anytime soon, it is well written for many reasons) for Detroit on one of my favorite blogs. I loved the guide...it gives history along with present day hot spots...there was a lot I didn't know about Detroit. I decided to post this image, I got from the author of the article, of Michigan Central Station. You can only imagine what an amazing building this once was. See more images of Michigan Central Station.

Featured Artist

I discovered a new artist today in the new issue of Elle. Tauba Aurbach a San Fransico based artist, created the prints above using pen. The "K" print was the one featured in the magazine and I was pleasantly surprised to find she had others on her website.

Love This Look

I like the deep colors in this outfit. Love the jeans...that I could never bring myself to spend the money on. But this what I like to do...take a look I love and find it cheaper somewhere else. For example my entire house is decorated from the inspiration of Pottery Barn but the only thing I own from Pottery Barn is my curtains (which I got for a really good price from Ebay). Anyways look at this...

Love This Look

I love this look for so many reasons. Just take a look...the colors and textures, and it looks so comfortable. And it proves with the right layering you don't have to put away your favorite summer tops.

Featured Illustrator

This is a vector image! It is not a photograph. This was so amazing I had to post it. I found this in Illustrator World.
