Inspiration – courtesy of Alex Solis

everything about Alex Solis’s designs introduces you to the many faces of the word inspiration. He is one of the very talented illustrators out there who redefine the depths of simple concepts and offer you perspectives about them you never knew existed. We chose to introduce him to you because he has the great ability to hide a complex idea behind (an apparent) innocence of character.
Death’s day off
The King
He’s been drawing and creating for so long, he doesn’t remember not having the pen in his hands. He has that classic desire for new challenges and new ideas, making no exception of their source. Speaking of classic, he openly gives tribute to conventional art – as all artists should-, considering it the basis for the digital era. new technologies are extensions of what we now consider ”antique” methods. ‘Cause we walk before we run, right?
Fashion bug

A talented break dancer as well, he successfully created outlets from the real world and put them on paper for us to indulge in them.
Beware of the unicorns
Needless to say his experience with threadless has had an important influence on his artwork, guiding him towards stronger concepts that allow the public to simpler relate to his designs. They are both cheeky and philosophycal, never losing touch with his diverse public. He successfully handles different styles in his designs, but there is always Alex in some hidden undertone.
Nature’s sounds
Bullies
There is one detail that clearly stands apart in Alex’s works and that is the animal element. We’re not going all Freud on him, but we can safely say there is a strong connection between him and the fantasy world of moustached ladybugs, the bear fighting Lincoln, the Lion King wannabe Elvis or of murderous unicorns, a connection we all the best applaud. You should too!

While waiting on spring …

I had to really LEAVE THE home today (I know, shock, horror) as well as it’s disgustingly chilly outside. Did I cave in as well as wear pants? NO!

“But Erin,” I hear you saying, “How can I continue my skirt- as well as dress-wearing methods when it’s ONE degree (F) outside?”

I don’t understand exactly how you can do it, however this is exactly how I do it; in addition to my gown or skirt I wear:

— two pairs of tights (this, alone, is warmer than many pairs of pants)— wool socks inside my boots — a silk undershirt (if I can keep in mind where I put mine away in the spring, always a problem)— a wool turtleneck sweatshirt — a hat, no matter exactly how dorky I look in hats— lip balm used to about the thickness of cake frosting (not truly about keeping warm, however important nonetheless)

and … the trick weapon: if it’s REALLY, truly cold, I keep useful a stock of those three-dollar chemical warmers you can purchase in the drugstore. I’m not sure exactly how they work — it might be bit imps released from hell in there, however as long as they pump out the heat, I don’t care. putting one on top of your undershirt, between your take on blades (or even using one of the ones that appears like a belt, which are almost unnoticeable under a sweater) implies you can laugh at the cold. (It may be a sniffly, pathetic, whimpering laugh, however still: laughing.) the very best part of those chemical warmers is that they last all the time as well as you can keep one useful in your bag, just in case. (The only thing I haven’t evaluated is whether or not they set off the metal detector at the airport; last time I traveled using one I made a quick stop at the ladies’ space to take it off. I try not to annoy the TSA with my unusual accessories any type of much more than necessary.)

Also, La BellaDonna had some great comments about dressing for chilly weather condition in the comments to this post, … feel totally free to add much more hints as well as suggestions in the comments here, as well!

Stuff I failed to remember

Holly at LuciteBox vintage asked me to point out that even though she’ll be away from the 22nd-28th, she’ll be shipping once again on the 29th, as well as the discount rate (15% off anything on the site) as well as the donation (10% to books with Bars in honor of the purchaser) still applies up until the 27th!

And I missed a whole slew of stuff from Pamela (of GlamourStitch, GlamourSavvy, as well as GlamourSurf … as well as Glamoursurf, by the way, is providing 20% off with Dec 31, go into the key phrase “Santa”)

So you might get a discount rate on something like this:

Or this:

Or you might just head over to Glamourstitch for this:

Or to Glamoursavvy for these boudoir shoes, which if they were my size, would have never seen the light of blog (despite the truth that my nightwear now consists solely of exercise clothes, so as to obviate one much more reason to prevent the treadmill, as well as these would look outrageous with Target flare-leg yoga pants):

Whew! Okay, now I believe that’s it. however if not, email me!

Physically impossible.

thanks to Sarah Mitchell for this image.

The dress and hat are by designer Andre Tan, and were shown at Kiev’s fashion Week. (Don’t even breathe “Kiev has a fashion week?” unless you want to be inundated with stirring nationalistic email from the Ukraine.)

I like the dress quite a bit, but I’m not so sure about the hat. first of all, I’d be completely frustrated by this both as a wearer and as an onlooker. how could I read it either way, unless the person wearing it was exactly the ideal height to put this at my eye level? and are you allowed to turn the page of a book when it’s resting on someone else’s head, or is that an invasion of their personal space? and is it removable, so that you can coordinate the content your bookhat to the rest of your outfit? Obviously, I’d like to wear retro cookbooks or romantic-advice books with some of my 1950s dresses, steampunk science fiction with my a lot more future-Victorian outfits (okay, I don’t have any future-Victorian ensembles, but if I could wear a book on my head to match you’d know damn sure I’d get some!) and so on. The terrific Gatsby with a white linen shift dress. Catch-22 with anything with militaristic detailing. Oh, god, stop me! Stalky & Co. with schoolboy chic. Clan of the Cave Bear with anything furry.

Anyway: too lots of questions, not enough answers. and even if all the answers were in THAT BOOK, I’d never know!

Packing For palm Springs

Work has brought us to the west coast this week and I have to state I’m thrilled for the reason to escape the dreary nyc weather. Today, I’m using these white wide leg pants and this pretty gingham top which I spotted in Nordstrom’s getaway Guide. Both pieces seemed perfect for a expert daytime ensemble in sunny palm Springs, and comfortable to boot. As things cool off, I have this denim jacket at the ready, which is one of my favorite discovers of late. The laundry and cut is perfect and the denim material has an incredible softness without losing its shape. For under $80, it doesn’t get much better.

I also packed this perfect striped Rails shirt which will be fantastic for lazy moments by the pool or buttoned-up and tucked into these bermuda shorts. I am all about the bermuda short length going into spring and summer, and can’t wait to wear them dressed up with heels and a blazer for a company laid-back ensemble. I also packed this off-shoulder sweatshirt dress which is another adorable (and affordable!) discover from Nordstrom’s getaway Guide which proved to be my one-stop-shop when prepping for the trip.

If you’re headed anywhere warm soon, inspect more of my favorites below!

Thanks to Nordstrom and ShopStyle for partnering on this post!

Belted Cape

I know people worry that capes and ponchos make them look like shapeless blobs, which is why today I’m showcasing one of my favorite tricks to allay said fears of blobdom. I belted the front sections of this new favorite cape which accentuates the waist, and allowed the back to fall without restriction. By belting just the front, there’s a great contrasting silhouette created—further highlighting the waistline—and also reducing the amount of bulk under the belt which makes the look très confortable. Depending on the thickness of the cape and the overall outfit, I’ve also often belted both the front and back of capes in the past, so just to be clear, I’m an equal-opportunity cape belter.

You may not want to sport the cape all day if you’re headed to the office, so I’m wearing this long button front shirt underneath that looks great belted on its own as well. Since only the front two pieces of the cape are belted, it’s very easy to just slip the pieces right out without adjusting the tightness of the belt.

I’ve become a bit of a hoarder of white shirts, one of my top workwear staples, but I have to say that this theory number is one of my very best purchases of late. It isn’t billed as a “non-iron” but absolutely is in practice. It recently made it to Wisconsin and back in my suitcase without me having to break out the iron or steamer. Plus, the long length looks great layered under chunky knits, as you can see I recently did here on instagram.

< >

Last but certainly not least, these suede pumps are new favorites as well, and as indicated in the close-up photos above, they have darling bow detailing on the heels. I look forward to showing off this little party in the back with skirts and cropped pants in the near future. I also have to say that these shoes are honestly among the most comfortable I’ve encountered of late—not a smidge of rubbing or stiffness from the get-go. And, at this price point, that’s pretty darn good.

I hope you all had an amazing, restful new Years holiday! Happy 2016!!

A few weeks back rich as well as I went to a black tie event with service colleagues as well as I had the enjoyment of using this gorgeous Jill Stuart number (which is CRAZYYY on sale here right now). I was really lucky sufficient to discover this gem on lease the Runway , which is an incredible resource if you’re not looking to invest in an costly gown.
