Ohhhh Honey &Twigs

2010-07-28T10:34:00.000-07:00

Twigs & Honey ohhh how I love thee.

Are you Kidding me???

2010-07-21T09:00:00.001-07:00

I'm not trying to insinuate anything by sharing this, and sorry for my lack of post on this 'personal blog' of mine. Some how Ica Image's had turned into sometime more personal than I intended ... but such is life.

And as much as I want to blog this on my other blog, I'm sure there's a huge possibility posting it there can make me loose business ... because I'd fall head over heels for this photographer.

This is what I came across ... this real proposal something out of a magazine or staged photoshoot.

But it's real.

Real insanely beautiful. Sheeeesh!! Anyone getting married soon? Because if you are and can top this, please call me 'cause I just gotta be there to take pictures.. pretty please??

Keep Calm

My hot coco is toooo hot.

2010-01-11T22:28:00.000-08:00

I posted this on Facebook a few hours ago, but I thought it was worth blogging as well.

Had another hot coco night with the boyfriend tonight .... but our mugs were just tooooo hot.

So I made new cuppy sleeves to fix our problem.

Now all I need is my boyfriend to come back over for more coco!!!

Crafting on the fly ... Im such a grannie.

P.S. I haven't made these sleeves in along, I'm surprised at how quickly I whipped some up.

Sunday Night lovelies

2010-01-10T19:23:00.000-08:00

I just came back from shooting my friend's grandma's 90th Birthday Party and I'm snuggled up on the sofa with my Mr. Mac-a-ronie in hand, aimlessly browsing around Etsy. I can spend hours on there and never get bored ... there is sooo much amazing stuff

Here's what I found tonight.

These are handmade?? Ahhhh ... I'm in love.

And a song that was stuck in my head earlier this week

Bantu by Yodit in ELLE magazine!!!

2009-05-20T22:40:00.001-07:00

I was screaming when I heard this news from my big sis.

A family friend of ours, Yodit Eklund has her own swimsuit line {Bantu} and was featured as part of the fashion spotlight article in Elle Magazine this month!!!

Last summer she had mentioned to me that she started her own swimsuit line, I just didn't realize how big her line has gotten. Her line has been picked up by .. ahem ... ANTHROPOLOGIE, Barneys NY, and Fred Segal to name a few, and I'm sure with this article her name will be even more sought after. Also Bantu made an appearance in The New York Times “Sunday Style” feature on Memorial Day beach clothes ... how awesome is that?

I'm sooo excited for her, I texted her baby brother asap to give her my love and congrats! As for her company Bantu ... “It is Bantu’s mission to support and grow the African economy while providing high-quality working standards, opportunities for growth, and a living wage to its workers,” says Yodit Eklund, Bantu’s founder. “Hopefully consumers will begin demanding finished products from Africa, a place typically only considered for raw materials.” Great stuff. I'll be wearing my African pants her mom gave me last summer in celebration! hehe! YAY!

Buy Bantu !!!

Bobby in Black

2009-04-16T22:11:00.000-07:00

Meet my friend, Bobby.

A while ago I stumbled upon this fashion blog Style Slickers which is based in London, but haven't checked it out again since. Today I just so happen to thumb through my high school friend's profile pictures and guess what I found? A picture of him on the streets of London {His new home since pursuing fashion. He's quite the fashionista!!} .. and at the bottom of the image is written "style slicker". I had to see it for myself. And sure enough here's Bobby!!! YAY!!

I miss this guy, he was my regular bubble tea, sticker pictures and tennis date in high school. And last time we saw each other was in the sewing & crafts magazine section of Barnes & Nobles when he saw me through the window {though I didn't see him at all}. So he came in to say hi because he is rarely back in the States so seeing a familiar face, saying hi was a must. I wonder who else I will stumble upon in this crazy little blog world. Bobby you rock star you!!

Encouragement is free

Not a finalist, nor a winner ... but my oh my

I'll gladly take runner up for a
Washingtonian Magazine Contest any day!

Along with four others I ended up being a runner up!!!
This just made my week.

10 days ago my best friend sent me a link to a photo contest she thought I should take a look at or even enter. And so I took her advice and entered. I didn't think much would happen and to be honest I actually forgot about it since entering the contest so this was such a surprise.

Check out the finalist and place your vote,

or see the work from the other runner ups!

Suffice it to say we love our city.

Headband Hotties

Make you feel my love

2009-03-16T11:31:00.000-07:00

I love sharing stuff, especially stuff I really love or enjoy and I love posting them here on my blogs so that other's can enjoy them too. But every so often I find things that I'd rather not share so that I can keep to myself till I'm ready to share it, or till I find a perfect opportunity to share it.

This song has been of those. I love this too much that I haven't been ready to share it ... silly I know, a little selfish .. that too ... but now I feel the need to share it.

It's been a emotional weekend, and I've been struggling because a near and dear friend of mine has been broken almost to the point where he nearly gave up on himself, on life, on God, on me ... but I wouldn't let him.

God is to good and to great of a God to give him more than he can handle, though I know at times it seems like what we go through is unbareable, even then God is there to sustain us with His perfect love, strength and guidance. I wrote an entry all about it, but I wanted to write one more with a help of one of my favorite tunes.

Though I mean this with a platonic love, I hope feel my love dearest friend.
{But don't forget .. God loves you much more than I ever could}

I saw this video awhile back and totally forgot about it, but it played today at work and I watched it from a distance and the video is soo asthetically beautiful. Ok yes the song itself is a bit cheeky, it's Lily Allen, and her lyrics will most likely always be cheeky, {my apologies for the language} but man I love this video.

Crazy Lovely Legs

2009-02-24T15:56:00.000-08:00

I love lovely legs, and I love them in crazy colors. I am proud to say that I have finally found the courage to step out of the norm and wear crazy leggings of my own, I don't have any pictures to show for it just yet but I really have. Usually I go for the always safe black or gray legging but lately I've been feeling brave and have worn fishnet leggings and mustard leggings of my own. Now I can't help but want to ware them out some more and even go for other colors.

I've searched high and low for inspiration and ideas for outfits to wear with them with and I've found the most amazing blog: Kieko Lynn her outfits are truly amazing and her store is quite amazing as well. Here are some of my favorite outfits of hers with crazy lovely legs.

Both a mustard must.

I haven't shared any music links on this blog, but thought I should start doing so. Here's one of my all time favorite artist Ernie Halter. I believe the first time he covered this live was at the show I went to with my sister a while back.

I hope you have a great day and hope this little melody makes it even sweeter.

Encouraging Finds

2009-02-16T09:30:00.000-08:00

When ever I get on Etsy, I never know how to get off. I continue to stumble upon amazing art and today was no execption. Today I fell upon tankandtink's shop and I am totally blessed and encouraged. It never ceases to amaze me and bless me when I see other artist and crafters using their creativity in ways to bring back the glory to The One who blessed them with it. Check out the rest of her lovely prints and I know you'll be encouraged too.

Happy Valentine's Day!!!

I love love love AHAPPYENDING!!!

2009-02-07T12:03:00.001-08:00

It's an absolute joy making new friends on Etsy, friends who craft and get creative too. It's also a great joy to make trades with these fellow Etsians. One of my most recent trades was for a painting on a deep canvas from ahappyending. And man do I love ahappyending.

Here is my "Dreamer of Dreams" print from Nichole, of ahappyending which I've placed in my window sill that sits above my headboard and couldn't have picked a lovelier place. It's sitting next to my broken alarm clock, that's sits next to a photo of my dad, that's next to a hanging bouquet of old roses {something I always do with my roses though I rarely get any}. And if you're wondering why theres a pillow in my window sill behind all this stuff, it's actually a draft pillow I made to help keep the winter chill out.

I love this print oh soo much and it's my first ever but I hope to have a large collection of painted prints one day. I picked this print because I have many dreams and aspirations and little by little God is gracious enough to allow my dreams to slowly become reality .. but as I continue to grow so do my dreams. Yet as ironic as this may sound, I rarely have dreams {scientifically I know I do, but I can never can recall a single one} ... I guess my vivid imagination and limitless aspirations make up for that.

Anyways .. on the other end of this awesome trade, Nichole got some Rini & Faith loving and man is Rini & Faith loving her! Nichole is not only super sweet and super talented, {little.miss.photographer is her blog} but she is as cute as a button!!

You make me want to chop all my hair off Nichole and be a rock star like you!!! Thanks so much for the trade and for the pictures you're awesome and

I love love love ahappyending!!!

Have ahappyending of your own!

As me and my Brother walked the streets of his lovely Brooklyn neighborhood I saw this sign hanging from a far. I know a good design when I see one, and even from a far I immediately took to it and knew I had to take a peak inside.

Ask Enrique ... I was super excited to get in there ... drum roll please!!!

sigh .. HELLO THERE BEAUTIFUL!

And what is this hanging in the corner I see???

Are those... Are those skinnylaminx tea towels??? OH YES IT IS!!!! Those in the back looking like Orla .. yes .. those!!!!

Oh my oh my, fancy meeting you here. I knew you looked familiar and yes we have met before.

I've hearted skinnylaminx's Etsy shop forever!

See why? Another lovely from her Etsy shop. And oh what joy it is to see other Etsian's work out in the real world looking lovelier than ever!!! I think it's about time I get some of skinnylaminx of my own! Ok now back to Abitare.

Everything in that shop was lovely ... and honestly I could see this whole setting in the middle of my dinning room one day. What an amazing space.

To my disappointment I left with nothing, but wanted to take everything ... but I knew I'd have to control myself because I had only a few hours left in Brooklyn and only so much space in my bag left. And since the stuff I really wanted is on Etsy I will go ahead and get some there.. but I'll definitely be back and visit Abitare again, because this shop is to amazing for words!!!

I love love love Abitare!!!

Brooklyn, you're amazing.

92 hearts

2009-01-17T19:19:00.000-08:00

To how ever many of you try to stay up to date with this blog, my apologies for the lack of entries. I've neglected to keep R&F's blog up to date but manage to keep my personal blog on point. But with this new year I'm thinking I should try much harder in managing both blogs, not favoring one more than the other {though much more happens in my personal life anyways}.

With that said ... R&F has 92 hearts.

Which is super exciting, because I heart everyone right back for their love and support right on Etsy, not to mention everyone else in my life. But since we are only 8 hearts away from reaching 100, I thought I should mention a little surprise I had in mind.

To our 100th heart,
who ever you maybe ... when you get here
... you've got lots of R&F love coming your way ..
you just don't know it yet! YAY!

I'll keep you all posted when ever you get to our 100th heart!

R&F hearts you all!

Orla For EVERYONE!!!!!

I'm sooooo excited! I was on SFgirlbybay {who's work I do adore} and she spilled news I cant' help but share and post myself. I love love love Orla Kiely! I mean love her!!! I love all of her pattern and prints, and continually drool over her products but know I can't afford any of it ... right now at least. Just the other day I saw a few of her bags at Nordstrom and longed for one myself. But now ...

Next month ... Orla Kiely home ware will be sold in Target stores everywhere!!!

That means ORLA FOR EVERYONE!!! Oh boy oh boy, I simply can not wait.

I love target, and I love Orla! I can't wait till they meet! hehe!!!

Lockets of love

It's a month till Valentine's day so i thought I'd share a lovely little find that will put you in the mood for all the love to come. While browsing around Etsy I found my newest infatuation, Style Smith 's wonderful little shop. Besides their amazing headbands, and this darling post card necklace I've been eyeing for forever and a day, I found these insanely cute lockets that are perfect for Valentine's day.

Share some lockets of love.
