FASHION ART

I'm always looking for ways to joozsh (my word for adding a pop of glamour) up a blank wall or a dull space in my living areas.  I go through color phases and lately I've really been diggin' all things NEON!  The vibrancy neon creates makes me feel so happy and totally boosts my creativity.  I came across a Gallery in Miami the Oliver Gal Gallery.  It's a collective group of artist lead by Lola Sanchez & Ana Gal.  I love all of their pieces because they blend together two of my favorite things, FASHION AND ART.  Brands such as CHANEL, HERMES, LANVIN and LOUIS VUITTON are all highlighted in these fun and unpretentious works of art!   They have multiple collections ranging from Abstract, Neon, Paissage, Typography and Comic Pop Art.  Here are a few of my favorites.....

THE COLOR PINK

It's no secret that I LOVE the color pink!  Not only does this feminine color leave me feeling soft and pretty it also holds amazing healing energies.  All colors have the ability to stir our emotions but pinks lovely nature is calming, tender and comforting.  Surround yourself with all different shades of pink!  Good news is they make everything in pink these days, coffee pots, toasters, CHAMPAGNE, pillows, rugs, shoes, lamps....  It's easy to incorporate this dreamy shade into your life!   "The color pink represents compassion, nurturing and love. It relates to unconditional love and understanding, and the giving and receiving of nurturing." colorpsychology.com  I gathered the info below from colorpsychology.com I find it fascinating!! ENJOY...

Unconditional love: Pink relates to both unconditional love and romantic love.

Compassion: Empathy and understanding are the fuel for pink's nurturing.

Nurturing: Pink is both the giving and the receiving of love, understanding and respect.

Hope: Pink inspires the possibility of a positive outcome.

Variations of the Color Pink

 

Blush: This very pale pink has sensual and sexual connotations. It is non-threatening but lacks passion and energy.

Rose Pink: This is the pink of universal love and unity. It is mature, feminine and intuitive.

Salmon Pink: There is a touch of orange in salmon pink. It encourages the flirt, and can be a sign of the timid lover, all talk and no play.

Orchid: This is an unusual lavender-pink and relates to the unconventional and the individual doing his or her own thing. It is the non conformist.

Fuchsia: A blend of deep pink and blue, fuchsia inspires confidence, assurance and maturity, a more responsible and controlled nurturing and love.

Coolest chick on the block

 I absolutely ADORE Drew Barrymore!  I love her carefree style, free spirit and find her attitude towards life totally inspiring. :)  Her down to earth approach makes me want to reexamine myself.  Just let everything go and  LET IT ALL BE!  Life is beautiful thing!!

Here are some of my favorite quotes from the lovely Miss Barrymore. Hopefully this adds a little ray of sunshine to your day!! :)

 

 

“Daisies are like sunshine to the ground.”

 

 

“If you don't take risks, you'll have a wasted soul.”  

 

“I pray to be like the ocean, with soft currents, maybe waves at times. More and more, I want the consistency rather than the highs and the lows.”

 

“I am fundamentally happy. Everyone has experiences that makes them cynical, jaded or unhappy - you just have to fight those things off. I have totally emotional days when I cry and get insecure. PMS weirded out, doomed and tragic. I mean, I'm definitely not just a lollipop, happy in the wind girl. I'm human just like everyone else, but I think that it would be tragic to be on your deathbed and think, 'I could've I should've.' That gets me out of bed everyday. I can't even last like an hour in bed in the morning. I have to get out there and live.”

  

 

“I don't want to be stinky poo-poo girl, I want to be happy flower child.”  

 

“That thing, that moment, when you kiss someone and everything around becomes hazy and the only thing in focus is you and this person and you realize that that person is the only person that you're supposed to kiss for the rest of your life, and for one moment you get this amazing gift and you want to laugh and you want to cry because you feel so lucky that you found it and so scared that that it will go away all at the same time.”

"God made a very obvious choice when he made me voluptuous; why would I go against what he decided for me? My limbs work, so I'm not going to complain about the way my body is shaped."

 

"Sometimes I bust out and do things so permanent. Like tattoos and marriage."

 

 

 

"Oh, I love hugging. I wish I was an octopus, so I could hug 10 people at a time"

 

Isn't she amazing?
