• Artist a Day Challenge No. 12: Naomi Sims

  I don’t know how it is possible, but each picture I see of Naomi Sims is simply flawless. Designer Zac Posen posted some pictures of Naomi Sims today on Instagram, and this one was truly gorgeous.  An original street style artist if there ever was one.  Bonus:  I am obsessed with capes but I live…

• Umit Benan Pays Homage to Jackie Robinson in Historic PFW Show

  The power of a Hashtag. As I was looking through my Instagram feed this morning, stylist Elisa Nalin (who prolifically captures Fashion Week on Instagram), posts a rather blurry picture obscured by a fence with a hashtag that reads #NOTORACISM. I honestly ignore 99% of hashtags (while totally being guilty of overusing them myself), but…

• 2013 “Rewind”

  Whew!  Before I look forward to 2014 (and I must say, it cannot come soon enough), I thought I’d take a quick look back on my digital footprints and share my favorite CultureShockArt moments of 2013.  So I picked 5 posts from Twitter, Instagram, WordPress and Pinterest that were either popular, or made me squeal, “Eep…

• Happy Easter!

  I bought some lilacs that are now all over the house. While I wish I could find them year round, I love the delightful surprise to find them in bloom! They even inspired this Easter weekend smoothie (banana, blueberries, strawberries, yogurt, agave, Maca powder and ice).  Happy Easter!
