Sistine + Zoom

Ever wanted to explore the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel up close and personal, but weren't quite tall enough? (ha ha)

Solution: Sistine Chapel.

Randomly craving some wood blocks, like these ones from Maiwa.

Confetti + System

Poke around on this website: Confetti System, 

A duo of artists, Nicholas Andersen and Julie Ho, work with tissue paper, cardboard and silk to create magical installations and masterpieces.

 They have some awesome stuff going on.

(hint, when navigating their website- scroll to the right...

took me a couple seconds to figure that one out)

here are some of my faves:

Created this New York Times "T"  for the Spring 2012 Travel Issue of the  New York Time Style Magazine

Bird head's for Opening Ceremony's NY Flagship store.

Gold Wall for Creatures of the Wind

 (you've probably seen this all over Pinterest.)

From their catalogue:

From their store:

Tassel Garland: $130. 

yes please.

Dress + Up

Time to recap this year's Halloween costumes.

Halloween is, for obvious reasons, a fabulous excuse to dress up and be something you've always wanted to be but have never been able to be because cultural restrictions forbid it to be socially acceptable. Aka Lana Del Rey.

Sadly, Lana's Born To Die video is not well-known enough to have been instantly recognized by many people (I got a lot of statue of liberty and greek goddess guesses...) but if you take the time to actually compare my creation to her music video, you'll see what a genius I am (made the flowered headdress myself!)

watch it here.

Chantagold. If I can ever have an excuse to put gold leaf on my face, I will.

A generic knight of sorts. Monty Python? sure, I'll take it. 

If only there were more days in a halloweekend.

Fashion + Show

Two weekends ago was Wash U fashion major's Fall Fashion Show (hence my lack of posts..)! Our tailored separates had to be inspired by an exhibit called "Underneath It All" at the Saint Louis History Museum, which displayed underpinnings from the 1800's onwards.

Here are photographs of my collection from the day of the show

 (modeled by my beautiful friend Maha and my wonderful sister Lorelei).

(I'm not normally this short.)
