My Favorite Little Wall

As a teenager I would plaster my walls obsessively and in no apparent order with magazine clip-outs: impossibly gorgeous women in designer labels and Absolut vodka ads. So 90's fabulous. Today my little wall collage takes on a more nostalgic feel. It's a collage within a collage: old records from my father, photo collages of my love, another of me made by my mother when I was four. My favorite picture, coincidentally at the center of it all is of my parents when they first met.

Good Find #87: Missed Connections NY

Ever been on the missed connections section on Craigslist? This illustration artist named Sophie Blackall was instantly inspired when she stumbled onto this section one day and has since created a pretty little blog about it. Best enjoyed over coffee and iTunes.

Gold Improv

Sweden meets Philippines. Most times I'll buy accessories from top designers to cheap finds thinking that I can combine it with another piece hidden and tucked away in one of my dresser drawers. Here, a gold feather necklace (EUR 2.95 from H&M) holding up a one of a kind jô by Joyce Oreña (Greenbelt 3, Makati, Philippines) rope bracelet with gold plated accents. 

                              

Good Feet Moment #4: The Girl with the Golden Gun

On our way to James Bond Island from Phuket, Thailand. I've always secretly wanted to be a spy. Any recruiters reading this blog, feel free to contact me- however, I insist on a  double entendre name.

2002, Just A Girl -by Liana

Mixed media on canvas.

One of my older and larger (aprox.5 ft x 4 ft) paintings inspired by the great Robert Rauschenberg. His art and vision strengthened my love for mixed media. Plastic bags, stockings, saw dust and tissue found here.

Good Food Moment #89: Les Glaceurs, July 2009

Quick visit to Montreal must include a walk through its Old Port where Les Glaceurs sells the cutest little cupcakes that make you reconsider scoffing it down. Best shared with friends on a cool summer days while walking and catching up.

Dec. 2008, Titan -by Roxy

It took me around three months to finish this painting. It originally started as a joint venture with Liana. We walked along a beach in Thailand and collected odds and ends spat up by the sea. When Liana threw in a rusty bottle cap I thought she was crazy, but it's now my favorite piece. I call him Titan.
