Gallery Day: KAWS & Yayoi Kusama

I'll be doing a lot more of this since I live in NY now. Off days will equal museum and gallery visits; one must soak up inspiration you know. A few weeks ago Nick and I ventured to Chelsea to check out the Kaws and Yayoi Kusama exhibits before they ended, and I must say; although a little cold.. I enjoyed the day immensely.

Be Inspired...

Knits and things

Sweat shirts and chunky knits paired with chic structured bottoms. WIN.

"To Live a Creative Life"

Lately I've been finding a lot of inspiration via instagram. Quotes that help keep me going, and photos from established designers and stylists living it all out. I've also found myself struggling with the thought of starting vs. not starting due to "fear" of the unknown or what others may think.

I started this blog to document my journey within the industry of Fashion, but I've fallen a little short of that mission. While I feel that I've been putting up some pretty great interesting posts; I haven't styled a photo shoot in months, nor have I been sketching and attempting to construct my own garments.. a shame really lol. I know what I want to do, and how I want to do it, but the hardest part is STARTING. These photos via instagram really made me think.. I need to kick myself in the butt, get going, and never stop. Happy Monday!

 

 

 

A Trip To the Hirshhorn

Trips to the museum are always a great way to become inspired, and I've been missing out not going on a more consistent basis. The Hirshorn has quickly become one of my favorite places to view contemporary art. Love at first sight.

Abstract works are my favorites, everything is subject to different interpretation

Kick of Inspiration

Yesterday at work one of my old manager stopped by and we got to talking about my goals and what I wanted to do.. I'm so glad she stopped by and I saw her because it just motivated me all the more. I guess when you're low on funds and you have a vision, you just HAVE to make things happen. Take the word try out, and just do, so thats what I intend on doing. Still looking for another job though cause it takes money to make money.

I have a number of artistic projects in my head from creating garments ( yeah busting out the sewing machine) to wall art, to accessories. Its all there stuck in my brain.. written on paper too, but mostly in my mind lol.. as they come, you will see. I dont like talking too much
