my muse // all black everything

my favorite color: black

why, some ask?

because it goes through every season.

slims any silhouette.

easy to coordinate with different pieces.

 here is a variety of pieces from jewelry to shoes, 

and an outfit styled with layers of 

of blacks + grays to break up the pieces.

my muse // simple angles

triangles are a sacred shape.

 they aren't romantic like circles, or ordinary like squares. 

they are simple and sharp. 

these simple angles are my muse/

the highlight: 

i have found this black onyx ring, 

and yes it may be $325, 

but it looks well worth every penny. 

It has a dark, yet elegant style. 

It is said to be a reflection of grief and stress,

which we can relate to at some point/

my muses range from pure happiness, 

pure schizophrenia and pure relationships//

my muse // creativity takes courage

some people may see 

only the black and white, 

but sometimes we are forced 

to see the grey areas.

inspired by: collage layouts, glassy textures, 

marble, latex leather, indie music,

 geometric/triangular shapes...

embrace the diversity + creativity 

that surrounds you. because it's what 

makes us different from each other.

we all think different. 

we all create different.

creativity takes courage // 

my muse // simplistic

november has past me by too quickly. 

i least have had the chance to expand my abilities 

to designing business cards! 

today has been a rough day being sick

and what not, but doesn't stop me from putting up a post

wrapping up the month. 

i have been obsessed with these textures, ideas,

 colors, i.e. + i wanted to share them with you all. 

it is all about the simple things in life 

and simplistic things in design. 

hope you enjoy my muses as much as i do.

i love sharing what is inspiring me. xx

sea salt // fashion illustration

 

yes, it has been a very busy week. finals always tends to make me a restless sleeper + teaches me how to drain every creative cell I have in my body!

so, between the free reign print piece from fashion styling and nomad trend report from art history two, I think it's safe to say that this is the last project I can handle this week. 

I'd like to introduce to you... sea salt. The digital sketches are done by me (in illustrator), and the logo I created as well in my  first--ever made font. Inspiration, page three, pictures via pinterest.

with Kalei, my younger sister.

we both spent the day enjoying 

sweet teas + designing logos.
