At first glance, abstract artist Ann Langlois’s moody and textural paintings reminded me of Mark Rothko’s classically monumental and emotional works. But upon further inspection, I couldn’t help seeing a bit more of a Helen Frankenthaler vibe, with the pretty and feminine brushstrokes and overlapping colors. In any case, and whatever her influence, Ann’s paintings …

Nude Emily Ratajkowski’s Taking Ownership of Her Sexuality
I first really noticed Emily Ratajkowski in the movie We Are Your Friends, and was instantly mesmerized by her. She’s not only beautiful, she oozes sexuality in a way you only can when you’re perfectly comfortable in your own skin… which somehow STILL makes certain women uncomfortable to the level of name calling, something which …

This is what I find …
Color + Texture + Mood // Snakes & Petals
Over the weekend I found Kat Dahlia and wondered why I hadn’t heard her music until now considering she’s got singles dating back to 2013 ~ WHAT!?! Whatever the case, I promptly downloaded her latest album My Garden and haven’t stopped listening to it since. I Youtubed the video so I could link to it …
Color + Mood // Gold Rush
Just loving the color combos here along with the mood they’re sort of creating.

As …

Artist Spotlight // Nicolaus Ferry
I found Nicolaus Ferry on Instagram, where I find so many wonderful artists these days, and was immediately struck by the beauty of his work.

Fashion + Art // Marc Quinn’s “Eye on Fashion”
In the September issue of Harper’s BAZAAR, artist Marc Quinn photographed the eyes of fashion industry leaders: Karl Lagerfeld, Stella McCartney and Sarah Burton… and I just thought the closeups were stunning. “The eyes are the only internal organ you can see from the outside,” says artist Marc Quinn. “The iris is our doorway to …
Artist Spotlight // Jeff Koons
Jeff Koons Balloon Dog (Red), 1995 Jeff Koons is one of those artists the world has a love/hate relationship with. Some of his works are downright gross, yet many of his works are downright adorable. Either way, they get you thinking, and that’s what art is all about, right? When I worked at the …

My ’90s Commercials // Secret, Burger King, Sav-on + more
So I thought since I’d be spending more time on Youtube starting now-ish, it would be smart to get my channel organized and up to date, and most importantly, PRETTY, of course. After I added a new header and updated my social media links, I realized I had a few old videos in my ’90s …
Art // Form // Strength // Body // Beauty // Ballet
I randomly happened upon these stunning photographs of the human female form captured amidst light and dust via Flyerz Magazine on Facebook and was mesmerized.
