Happy Monday! I love art - in fact, I can't remember a time when I didn't! My parents enjoyed taking me to museums as a child. One of the first artists I grew to love was Andy Warhol. Pop Art is a fairly easy way to get into art, I think. Bright colors and iconic images are quite easy to remember!

Not only was Warhol an amazing illustrator and screen-printer, he took some excellent photos. They are usually of beautiful celebrities or pop culture icons. They have such a dreamy quality to them that they instantly transport you into Warhol's high profile life. I thought that I would post some of my favorites here to give us some inspiration on a dreary Monday.

My favorites of Warhol's are his captivating and extremely personal Polaroids. How could I pick just one? Here is a collage of many of his greatest.

John Gould in Sea, 1982

People On The Street, 1980

Self Portrait in Drag, 1981


Who are some of your favorite artists? Enjoy your Monday!! <3

Today is Saturday! Thank goodness for the weekend - especially a long one provided by the beautiful Labor Day.

Here are a list of some of my favorite news, articles, and pictures from this week:

My mom has been calling her Hello Miss Kitty for years by accident - I guess she was more right than I thought!!

This is a great article discussing the good and bad of Undercover Colors, a nail polish that may show date rape drugs in drinks.

Probably the silliest thing I saw on the Internet all week - and it's real. If only I lived in Russia!

Rookie is the greatest website on the WWW - period. Anything that they write is gold. Need some fashion inspiration? Get it from these fabulous cult leaders who were anything but shy (channeling my inner Tammy Faye this weekend for sure).

My aunt is a fabulous crafter - she also blogs and does a lot of design research! She sent me this link and I was completely blown away by the amazing detail and skill it takes to make these floral carpets. Gorgeous!
