Stark White Light

I am more than a little bit addicted to blog stalking.  I have 2 google reader accounts AND a blog lovin to manage all the blogs I insist on brain buzzing daily.  Today, Isabelle Gloria posted yet another doozie, an artist with the garish, stark, minimalist type of style I always gravitate toward.  I've never seen anything quite like it, however, and I love that.  A bit morbid, but also very scientific and causes me to pause and think about how each piece effects how the artist views humanity, mortality...

Without further ado, Kate MacDowell.

And here are some other images I have yoinked from blogs recently that also apply to this stark appeal...

no links to blogs tonight...I have a huge family gathering to cook for and Im going to hate myself if I can't get it done before midnight!!

River Side

So I had another blogger meet up!  At the rate of one per year, I believe I need to find more blogging friends!

My outfit was inspired by all the lovely caftan images I have been finding online as of late.  I wanted to feel light and airy in the bright hot heat!

The earrings I scored on Ebay a few years ago.  Bib necklace and ring soon to be available in my Etsy store!

Sunglasses are Liz Claiborn and the dress was a score from a clothing exchange with my friend Amber.  I believe she found it thrifting before that.

This ^ image is my favorite of the day.  Makes me feel like a model again!

Shoes by Vera Wang from my birthday gift card.  Bag from Old Navy (on mega clearance a few seasons back) and I got my fox tail on Ebay last year.
