Catching Up

Hello!
I've been away from my blog for a while.
I felt the need to take some time off for perspective, but I am back
to share with you vintage fashion, art and life :)

Let's jump right back in!

On Saturday my love and I headed to a Sale to find some treasures

The weather was amazing

A close up of one of the bikes inside the sale 

Snap!

I really liked how worn the sign was

Darling.....

Another pic of myself
with an awesome elongated mirror effect

Afterwards we headed out to
www.nightanddayvintage.com

Elvis was outside to greet us

I didn't find anything to buy, but I had a good time browsing


We then took some food to eat by the lake

What a view

People watching

Lovely walk through some trails

We headed west of the city and did more walking


A big group of bikers was in the prowl and this guy posed for this pic :)

Sunday was a fun day with the family
We played baseball and did some grilling

Thanks for stopping by

According to Instagram...

I'm looking forward to the weekend.

I hope you are as well.

I wanted to share will you some pictures of my week

According to Instagram...

I was in the mood for hot weather

Enjoying playing pool with friends

Love watching vintage movies at night....zzzzzz

Tired eyes and messy hair call for a hat and sunglasses :)

Estate sales are awesome!

Went thrifting and found these funky shoes

I didn't get them, but I though they deserved to be seen

Got these goodies for $10 flat

Trying to see if soft turtle necks go with me

Also, trying to experiment with different lipstick shades

My comfy grocery shopping outfit

Today I'm wearing one of my favorite purses

Thanks for stopping by

Have a great weekend

It's Been Too Long

Finally back to posting on my blog

Life can be very hectic as of lately, but I've managed to settle back to my groove

How are you doing?

Hope we can keep in touch more often now :)

I wanted to share with you just a few pictures from our trip to Vegas 

"Viva las Vegas" to be exact 

I felt that this picture looked better in black and white

What do you think?

What a beautiful sign

Awesome details

Styling!

Night time!

So many stylish cars and people!
It was a lovely time with my love
 I look forward to going back


Thanks for stopping by.
See you soon :)

Camera Skills

I really need to learn how to set my camera...

Can you notice how my pants look a different color in the pictures?

Yes, very noticeable :) 

That's why I only have two decent pictures to post because the rest looked crazy!

Anyway...I've been neglecting my brooches lately and decided to take this

lovely brooch out for the day

I know....the random outlet again

I am going to try to take outdoor pictures...maybe...

Hope you have a great weekend

Shiny Velvet

Replacing the basics has been in process for a few days now

I had a faux leather jacket, but I didn't like how it fit me, so I grabbed this

lovely light jacket while thrifting the other day

I also treated myself to these topshop boots for $20, awesome deal

since they were originally $76

Faux leather, velvet top and shiny shoes, doesn't sounds like it goes does it? :)

Bright picture, yes :)

Thanks for stopping by

A New Art Beginning

Over the pass weeks my thoughts for my art and my surroundings have changed
dramatically... in a good way I sense...
I still have my sad moments of losing my baby...but it's more now like I see
the happiness, the wonder of life, how someone you never pictured in your life
can bring joy and excitement to your life...even if it was for a moment

 I feel like my mind has been cleared, like I have awaken or expanded in a way
I'm not good at writing or expressing my thoughts through words, but here's a try

For a few years now, I have painted vintage images from old photos
They were figurative, full of color, some may say "visually understanding"
I painted what I saw....

I don't feel like painting something in this form anymore
I appreciate that series, but I feel the eager of painting what I feel now...

To be honest, I never really knew how to comprehend abstract art before, I knew
that I enjoyed the compositions or colors, but deep inside I didn't really decipher what I was
seeing, feeling when I viewed the pieces, until recently when I
started writing poems again

I see my art going towards a mix of minimalist/abstract expressionist
I want to strip it all off and bring it back to the basics
I want to create pieces that evoke emotion

The pictures I selected are inspiration for me, especially the last
De Kooning photos, I love the soft colors and strokes of those pieces

I will try to post more of my art as I am making it..... after all that's
why my blog is called "I Art Fashion"

Usually I don't write a lot on my posts, but
this post is important to me
I hope I made sense :)

Have a great weekend
