Finding My Marbles
I came across this recent Ruscha piece and fell in love. I’m captivated by marbling. So much so that I really tried to embrace that water marbling nail trend a few months ago (I blame Pinterest for that). Anyway, no critique here, this is just a lovely piece and the colors tie in so well…

It’s a Tote, No It’s a Clutch, No It’s BOTH!
Source: refinery29.com via CultureShockArt on Pinterest When Refinery 29 posted this picture of the Mulberry Willow Bag, I thought to myself, “Wow, that front pocket looks like a cute Envelope clutch, what a nice detail. Hey, wait a minute…” See the zippers on the sides? It has a detachable clutch! OMG a 2 for…

Target, Soup and Another “Happy Place”
Last year I wrote a post singing the praises of museum stores being my “Happy Place”. Well, a close second to museum stores is Target. I don’t know what it is about the place, but there’s something gratifying about going to Target after work to stock up on t-shirts, greeting cards, makeup bags, natural hair…

MOMA Moments
I was in New York for Halloween during the freak snowstorm and decided that Saturday would be the perfect day to spend indoors at MOMA. What was I thinking? All of the tourists in Midtown Manhattan thought the same thing! I ventured back the next day for a stroll around the exhibits. Lucky for me…

Color Story-Translating Jewel Tones
It all started with a bottle of nail polish. All summer I’ve been excited to pick up a bottle of Chanel’s Vernis nail lacquer in Peridot and this perfect color is ushering me into Fall. It has this iridescent property to it so in some light it looks gold and at other times it picks up…

Gone Fishin’: P90X, FroYo, Web 2.0 and Louis Vuitton…aka “My Summer”
As the temps begin to cool and daylight begins its slow retreat, I look back wistfully on a great summer which included 5 beautiful days on this beach in Maui! I found myself pre-occupied with everything except Art this summer, but it felt good to give my blog a little vacation during the last two…

Leftovers @ Incognito-Santa Monica Museum of Art
For 7 years the Santa Monica Museum of Art has hosted “Incognito”-a benefit with a unique twist. This weekend, over 500 artists donated original 8″x10″ works and patrons got the opportunity to nab original works at $300.00 a piece. Love Baldessari? You’re in luck, he frequently donates his work-so does Ed Ruscha. The catch? The…
