Prints.

I've been really interested in (quelle suprise) fabric and prints lately. I am really loving when a piece has an unexpected print, or color, or embroidery. So here is some Duke Ellington, some street style, some inspiration, and more.This song is Caravan, off of the album Money Jungle. It was recorded in September 1962. Duke Ellington (piano); Charles Mingus (bass); Max Roach (drums).

This is Ibi from Yemen. His scarf is from Yemen, and was a gift from his mom.

Denim Done Right.

I've never been a big fan of denim. Never a big one for jeans, or a country/nautical preppy look, it's taken me a while to warm up to denim. I've started to see it differently. 

  
Here are some New Yorkers who put together  

delicious denim looks.

Perfectly Clean, Crisp, and Cuffed.

An amazing way to wear denim shorts in cooler weather. Expert layering, and incredible personal style.

This jacket was so intricate. Not your regular jean jacket. Sophisticated, detailed, artistic with a real edge to it.

I normally don't like denim bags. But there is something about the simplicity of this. The way it pops against the red coat that I just adore.

In the Grace of Your Love we are NEW

Here is some NEW. new music, street style, art, fashion. Enjoy.

In the Grace of Your Love by The Rapture

I've been experimenting with drawing, painting, etc. Here is my hand holding a book holding my hand holding a book. 

This wonderful person let me take their photo. I love this shot. They just look so open, connected. Beautiful.

The layering, dreads, and accessories, golds and wine tones are perfection.

Burgundy & Mint....Color Obsession

I am still crazy obsessed with pastels mixed in with traditional fall colors, and I can't get the burgundy and mint combination out of my head. Check out this other post on Unexpected Color for more color ramblings and Treasuries.
