What a Gem!

Annnddd lame title number two for this week makes its debut. Anyway, this is certainly a prevalent trend in stores and among hipsters...crystal gems! I bought a very cheap twelve dollar necklace from Brandy Melville and I love it. It goes with everything and shines in rainbow colors in the light. I love mystical things, like myth and magic, so crystals are totally cool. Mainly, I love their natural air and funkiness.

Also I did a weird doodle of crystals

I hope you have a nice day!

Long Time No Post!

Ayyyy cheesy titles! Anyway, hello! I haven't been posting weekly as my goal was supposed to be because of one thing...SCHOOL. Yup, I just moved to a new one sooo I've been getting adjusted. Aside from homework, I've been making some flower crowns and bows in my free time, as well as practicing art as usual. I've also started reading Heart of Darkness by Conrad. Oh! And hey, if you'd like, I've just made an Instagram called @eilaincaliland ....check it out fro selfies, ootd, photog, my art, and geeky cosplay(if you weren't aware, I am a total geek). So here are some photos of an outfit of mine...and a cutey pie little plant.

Colors Lines and Form

A small while ago I went to the LACMA art museum for the first time! I always loved art museums...ever since I was always taken to them on rainy days...I used to love Degas so much...I thought the graceful ballerinas were so inspiring! I love the peaceful space of museums and the idea of a place that celebrates beauty...and they often have great cafes! Nowadays some of my favorite tyoes of art are: illustration, pop surrealism, definately impressionism ( I dislike art with too many dark primaries), traditional paintings of fabulous Marie Antoinette style dresses, and art that uses lots of light and space. What's your favorite style of art?

These lightpoles were so fun to take pics with! So many other people were as well!

The hot and clear blue sky

I really liked how full of design the museum itself was! This is part of a spidery sculpture of black beams

From the amazing cafe...a moonpie! I most liked the brioche though, and they have amazing natural fruit sodas.

Spaghetti! Kids and older folks alike loved it! It was actually a total highlight, but the plastic was shockingly hard and fealt a bit like it was slapping you as you walked through!

Fun selfie!

This guy walked into my shot, but I think he made it better...this looks somehow symbolic...

There were so many delicious trucks and everyone looked so stylish!

Metropolis... It features whizzing cars that toddlers seemed transfixed by

My purchase from the very nice store! i-D magazine! With amazing Tavi and Petra Collins( who liked the photo on instagram!!!)

Kyary Pamyu Pamyu! She always inspires me to be as cute as can be! I love the kawaii japanese aesthetic so much!

Lovely~

I wish I could have taken pics of my favorite works but I always hate when people do that and get a bit in the way! It was really relaxing though and I saw a lot of great work...new artists, Van Gogh, and also some skillful classics! I hope you'll have a nice and inspired day~
