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~

Go Ape for Monki!

Hello again! Today I really want to talk about the Swedish brand Monki! Now, if you read my bio, you'll know that I speak Finnish (I'm part Finnish). So, I have a great appreciation for the unique creative, yet simplistic ness of Scandinavian design! I myself found out about Monki from Asos, who carries them, by the way. I bought this dress you're about to see here. The prices are reasonable, by the way, some around the twenties (both in dollars and euros). 


Sorry about the blur-factor...it was getting dark out and very crowded due to the bar goers for the World Cup!


Outside Three Twins...with cookies and creme~
                                             
Walking the pooch....

Outfit:
Jean jacket: I'm sorry, I'm enamored with it, here it is again...Juicy Couture from Crossroads
dress: Monki
socks: Asos
belt: Genius Outfitters Hawaii (I guess I don't have many belts?)
flats: Old Navy
headband: ....Claire's to be honest!


So isn't the dress great? It has a thin cotton material(you might need a slip or shorts and a cami), and is sleeveless. The design is very modern-art...it may look like a bunch of lines...but they're abstract faces! Here are some of my pics from the site!

nternetz...such a fun shirt!

is it a tee? A button down? varsity? A cool hodge podge!

short b and w top which interesting sleeves...I like the boxy cut!

such a cool skirt...I'd love a length like this...plus, it actually consists of small images! Reminds me of flashing NYC billboards...or tumbrl!


I am super....motivational beanies, anyone?

So...Monki's really great! The designs are unique and graphic!

Hey, here are some clips from my day!

A super good panini with Orangina at Spazzio cafe

Sweet Lady Jane's cakes (I'm sorry guys, I always post dessert!) with chai latte(same goes for tea...)

Random selfie from a day earlier (I have f21 dungarees!)....my new Blick sketchbook....so smooth! And that paper smell (ooookkkk, creepy art geek!) I was so happy to get a new one!

Have a nice day~
