Listen to the song - Dragon & Jontron ft. Lea Luna - "Tonight"

I love that song, love the lyrics, and the females vocals kind of reminds me of Nadia Ali's.

Taaadaaaa!!!! :D lol


Painting the back seat was my fav part, because I really didn't know it was going to look this good!
I honestly just attacked the canvas and really didn't know what I was doing, sort of.
I reallly wanted to give the feel of the scratchiness and the worn out look of the wooden chair, and I think I really achieved it for a beginner! :D
I also wanted the screw to look realistic and ohhhh myyy goddd...I achieved the realistic look of the screws too! :D YAYYYY!!! LOL.
The morning after, my mom, walked into the art room where my painting was, and she saw the screw on my canvas and she was like.....hmmmm....and she thought it was real, that SHE ALMOST TOUCHED IT!!! A painters WORST NIGHTMARE!!! LOL Because, the paint was still very much wet! Phew!
I got a awesome comment from a advanced student and he said, it looks very nice and so real! :D WHOOOOP! *Hannnds in the aiiiir!* LOL :D

I wanted the bottle, like where the white area and light blue is, I wanted it to be um softer looking and a lil bit transparent, but damn, I could't achieve the look. :/
I was using liquin for this painting, and it makes the paint dry pretty fast, and sooo...the white/light blue area dried and it was hard to blend, I mean, I couldn't really blend, because it felt almost rubbery. ugh, it sucked. :(
I love blending, it's ma thing! But I learned next time, I'm not going to use liquin so much, and just use turpentine, where I can blend more easily, because the paint will dry forever. :)

I tried my best to make the metal part of the chair look realistic, like the way I did for the top chair, I wanted the screws to look realistic, but damn, I couldn't do it. :(

My teacher showed us a technique called the 'wipe out' where you first paint the canvas one solid color and then you get your rag or your paint brush and you dip it into turpentine and you wipe out the solid color of what you are going to paint. Like normally you would lightly draw with a pencil, a sketch of what you are going to draw or you would free hand paint, but in this case you just wipe out the paint. When I showed you guys my unfinished work of this painting, most said they loved the colors, well lol...that was the wipe out technique. :) You're actually supposed to wipe out right after you have painted the canvas one whole color, but I was a bad student and I waited the day before my class, lol, which the paint had dried.....sooooo I had to SCRUB THE PAINT OUT! lol. I was sooooo afriad  that I would  burn or poke a whole in the canvas because I was scrubbing THAT HARD! But I didn't, phew! So that's why some of the paint wasn't wiped away from the canvas, it was dried and almost impossible, so whatever, I did take the most I could take off, I did my best. :P lol

So then the next step was to paint the shadows, and then to just get on with painting everything. :)

I spent 3 days on this painting, and worked really hard to the point that my neck and back was in so much pain, and I got a lil sick and felt ill to my stomach from the fumes, and the last day of doing my painting I got a nose bleed. O.o Boy....the life of an artist.... :P lol. And I don't have a easel, soo I have to put my canvas on a lil stool and stand it up against the art table and I sat across my canvas and that is how I painted for 3 days, not good for my back and neck. -.-.

Oh, and since this is a warm and cool color painting, our color pallet was to only use 3 colors, Burnt Sienna, Ultramarine blue, & Titanium White. :)

I think that is all I have to say about this painting assignment, and that I hope to get another B. :D

Looooove this floral top, very cool.
This top was actually a large, I like the large more than the small, because it's longer at the front. lol
This fun floral top was DEF. one of my fav pieces I found @ the grand opening of TJMaxx. ♥
Ali & Kris




I liked this top from Edge..., and when I saw the label I was like....omgod, the label looks just like mine...,
and I bought a top from mine...remember in this post?
I went home and did research and found out that Edge Clothing Inc. has two other branches of clothing lines or labels, Mine... and Blue Bird. Pretty cool. :)





Loved this asymmetrical tank top! ♥
It's really comfy and just cool, and love the lil pocket. :)
Perfect for summer!


Liked this sheer top. :)





I LOOOVE THIS DRAPED CARDI!
I just had to get it, because, I'm a sucker for draped cardi's and I really loved the colors and the feeling of the cardi ♥
It would be perfect for fall, I plan on wearing a turtle neck underneath it, put a belt over the cardi, wear one of my skinny jeans or maybe my flared jeans and wear my twins Zara oxfords orrrrr......maybe her new Aldo wedges ♥ :D




I wanted to get a denim button down shirt, I found this one, loved the color, but the fabric wasn't soft, which I didn't like and plus it was too big the sleeves for my arms.
I like the two different denim washes together right? Looks cool, I think. :)
By the way, the jeans that I'm wearing in all these pics except for the 2nd to last pic is by Free People ♥




I LOOOOOOVE THIS TOP! SO DARLING AND SOOO MEEE!!! :D
I loved the peter pan collar, the sleeves, and around the waist area. ♥
I didn't get it because it was big on me even though it was a size small. O.o
I thought that was weird, too bad. :/



Here are the beloved Free People skinny jeans, that I want to badly get 
(Read the story below the pics ^^ )




Loved these flats, so cute, I loove a round toe for every type of shoe, I always have since I was a child ♥
I believe the brand was R2, and it was really comfy, but I didn't get it because for my left foot, the flat shoe made my foot turn in wards?....I don't know how to explain. -.- It sucks really. ugh. My search goes on for the perfect flat, it's rather frustrating. :/

On Sunday I went to a grand opening of a new TJmaxx store on Ventura & Van Nuys Blvd, Sherman Oaks, and I loved a few items and liked several clothes. Overall the grand opening was alright, I've seen better clothes in other tjmaxx stores. One of my fav  Items that I loved was a BLACK LEATHER RALPH LAUREN SATCHEL, but too bad it was $129. :(  It had a soft leather feel to it, it was a nice small to medium size satchel, and I looooved the inside of it, it seemed so organized. I def. saw myself carrying the satchel for school.
When I came home I tried to look for it online, but I had no luck, I couldn't find it. :(   I couldn't take a pic of the bag in store, because there were people around. -.-

The other item I realllly loved at the grand opening were FREE PEOPLE SKINNY JEANS!!!
Ahhhhh, I LOOOVED IT SOOO MUCH!! I looove the feel of the denim, loved the denim wash color and I just had to try them on. And when I did, WOOOOOW....SOOO COMFY!!! I reallly instantly fell in love! It's sooo comfortable, that I forgot I had them on, LOL, and I ALMOST left the dressing room with the jeans ON! YIKES! LOL! I never did that in MY WHOLE LIFE! I felt like those were my jeans, that's how comfy they are ♥. Now here's the sad part....I took the jeans in my size, and it fitted nicely everywhere, but the waistband was big, not even my size, that I just don't get. O.o   So I went back to pick up the smaller sizes, because I saw them earlier, and welll...when I went back, THE SMALL SIZES WEREN'T THERE ANYMORE!! :((((  I was pissed at myself, I should have taken the small sizes when it was available. ugh
So now I have to check other TJMaxx stores to see if they have my size. :/ Hope they do! *crosses fingers* Because I realllly want them, they honestly beat out my BLANK Skinnies. :P

I hope when I paint these two jars it comes out really good. :D

Yup, my 2nd oil painting for my class, my teacher set up 2 chairs in the classroom, and welll...here is my view on it.  I decided to crop it because, I really didn't want to draw the whooole set, O.o, too much work and I felt overwhelmed. :P lol. Plus I REALLLY wanted to paint the 2 jars :) . 

This time, my teacher will be grading us on composition and welll...it seems I have a good composition, which is actually funny, because I had no idea what I was doing, sort of.  I know, I wanted to crop and zoom in on the top chair, and crop the bottom chair, but have the bottom chair sticking out on the left side. So I sort of knew what I was doing, but didn't know if it was a good composition or not, I really thought it sucked. lol. But in class, a advanced student really loved my painting and said beautiful composition, and I was like....REALLLY?! LOL! I was really shocked.  I sweaaar, every time, I don't know what I'm doing, it seems like I'm doing a good job, and every time I know what I am doing and I'm sure of myself, seems like I'm doing it wrong according to my teachers. -.- I don't get it.  Oh well, so I joked with Anna saying, I should just paint mindlessly LOL. 

Anyways, enough of me talking, I still have a lot to do, but I think, I won't have any problems doing this painting unlike my first black and white painting , I can honestly say that, I really liked this 2nd painting, and actually enjoyed working on it and I do look forward to continue painting it. :D 

Sooooo.....I must go, and continue working on my painting and I'm going to be busy doing this painting maybe until Thursday, because it's due Friday, and when I'm done, I will DEF. take pics of the finished painting and post it on the blog! :D

Yayyyyy....can't wait!

 This outfit illustration was inspired by Rebecca Minkoff's neon sandal. 

I was so in love with the sandal that I envisioned this outfit, and made a quick sketch. 

It's a white collar sleeveless asymmetric top with a neon green going down in the middle of the shirt,

skinny denim jeans with a side slit,

and the Rebecca Minkoff sandals (I know her sandals are neon yellow, buuut I made it neon green because I thought that was the color, until I made my sandal post and realized that it was Neon Yellow! Eeeks! Hopefully no one minds ^^).

♥Eliza

This is such a CUTE SANDAL!!!

I want it!  

I'd love to have them in this color, red and blue! ♥

 

Here's the same shoe but in a black version, just wanted to post it to show you guys the 2nd color option. :)

I really like this color choice as well, it will go with everything and with a nice touch of weave design on yer feet! ;D

But I def. looove the neon one more, it's just a POP OF FUN! :D

 

Love these sandals, so cute, love the weave pattern and the colors. :)

Just wanted to show you guys some sandals I have been loving lately, seeing soo many pop of fun colored sandals on pinterest, that it REALLLY got me into making this post, duh lol and got me hoping & wishing it was SUMMER ALREADY! :D

I couldn't help but do an illustration of how I would wear floral pants, so I had to draw it to show you guys. :D  I drew two version of how I would wear floral pants, the first is my dream outfit, what I envisioned and the 2nd outfit is, reality, the clothes in my closet. You know how I said in my post, about my moms vintage floral pants? Well here is the illustration, the REALITY OUTFIT. A basic gray top, my mom's vintage floral pants (though I sorta forgot how they looked, I'm not sure if they have ruffles at the bottom of the pants for each leg or not), and Anna's black oxfords. :)

The DREAM OUTFIT, is a black popcorn knit sweater, and skinny floral trousers that are folded at the bottom, and black shiny heels. :)
