Flamingos in love.

If you dont know I love flamingos, its ok... but I do. I love them so much, Ive recently had a friend start giving me all this amazing retro flamingo stuff! They are also one of my favorite things to draw and paint. While my friend Jennifer was staying with me I had a short boost of motivation to paint and I did these two crazy love birds.

May I please introduce to you, Sir. Ronnie

(For sale for $60)

And Madam Kimmie

(For sale for $60)

Together, they make the first paintings of the "Kimmie loves Ronnie" flamingo series.

(For sale together for $100)

I have taken my love for flamingos and combined them with my love for Kimmie and Ronnie. There is nothing more sillier to me, I think, then flamingos with top hats and bows. Both paintings are for sale separately, but how could you break up such a lovely couple.

Revisiting an outfit and a place.

While the weather has been gloomy the last few days, it was gorgeous earlier this week. My trusty partner in crime Simon and I rode our bikes to the Arboretum on what was a lovely day. Simon always carries my tri-pod when we go "on location". There are a few spots we usually go to at the Arboretum but this time I took Simon to one of my new favorite spots. Since its somewhat fall, I had to wear something "fall appropriate" but seeing as how I only have so many of my dresses here in Boston, I decided to re-blog about this amazing navy blue, ethnic print dress.



I did this blog post in January of 2010. Wow I have gotten a lot of tattoos since then haha. That always cracks me up with I look at older photos, seeing how many tattoos I didnt have at the time. This dress will forever be amazing, and it was totally worth re-blogging.

Then.


Now.








Simon and I spent a good 2 hours there and caught all different kinds of light. Since no one was around I just left my camera set up while I took snack breaks or just laid in the grass. The Arboretum is so nice its hard to leave some times.




After a lovely afternoon we went to The Behan for a few beers. I always enjoy my adventure trips with Simon. As always, Im trying to keep busy, and still always behind on things. I have so many people I need to reply to and things to send out. Sometimes the world moves to fast for me. I have found so many neat things out and about the last 2 weeks as well, Im working on a blog post for that. I will finally have another vinyl post coming soon and hopefully more paintings!

If you have sent me something, or left me a lovely comment! Im getting to it, slowly... I appreciate all my readers, every day you read/check out my blog, it makes me so happy. I always hope that someone gets inspired by me. Also! I have had 77 followers for some time now, we can really make 80 happen!

I love you all! Thank you for continuing to be lovely. Xoxo.

The Kimmie Collection; Part 1.

Kimmie and Ronnie are the best stereotypical New England couple. When I heard about them, I died laughing and could not get enough of it. Well, Kimmie and Ronnie have just consumed me. My friends have been calling me Kimmie a lot. So I have decided to start the "Kimmie" collection. These will all be outfits that Kimmie would wear. I didnt want to give Kimmie her own blog, because we all know Ronnie aint takin her outfit photos. (Kimmie talks in third person a lot)

Kimmie decided she wanted to look super cute for Ronnie. This little number is something Kelly Bundy wouldve wore. Kimmie likes her dresses tight and short.








I love my "Kimmie loves Ronnie" tattoo. My friend Adam paid for it, my friend Bill drew it and my friend EdE tattooed it on me.


Oh Ronnie.


Kimmie is baking a cake for Ronnie today, because he's never had a red velvet cake before.

Im finally feeling like Im getting back into the swing of things. September is such a transitional month and theres just so much I want to get done. I finally went down to the basement and brought up my winter stuff. I am loving the weather, finally time to wear hoodies. I have been hanging out at The Brendan Behan a lot lately and making such the loveliest of friends. The Ronnie Dial Golf Tournament was this past Monday, and that was wild. With fall in the air, I cant wait for more good things to come. Xoxo everyone.



Outfit Detail:
Dress: Early 90's vintage, bought at Revolve Clothing Exchange in Tampa, FL.
Shoes: I found them at Goodwill in Tampa.

The Arboretum in Summer,

Finally getting to a new post after some much needed time away from blogging. I had some personal things to take care of and have been a hermit crab a lot lately. Well I am just finally starting to get back into a normal swing of things and feeling better so I decided to finally do a lovely blog post. The weather has been great, Ive been very lucky to have time off to enjoy it. The other day I went to the Arboretum with my roommate and best friend Simon, and we had such a great time. We went to another part of the park that I hadn't been to yet, and found some new photo spots! So I went back yesterday by myself and planned out a very lovely outfit. Something everyone has been wearing lately, a long black sheer shirt.

These were taken on the Explores Path, and no matter where I took a photo someone, creeped past me, I really thought I was in a secret spot.






This is what I wore while I was riding my bike around, that black dress is great it just folded up in my shorts. This was me testing the lighting and zoom.






I love my camera remote...


I was bothered less in an open field.








Outfit details:
I bought the skirt at Boomerangs in Jamaica Plain. I cut the lining that was in it before. The black dress under is a simple bandage dress from Forever 21. I liked the black poka-dot lace with the floral lace on the dress. I threw on a brown belt for some color and as far as shoes are concerned, they are not needed for walking around in grass. I have seen so many ladies styling this black sheer skirt look, and I have had the skirt for a few weeks now. I was really saving it for a good photo adventure like this. I also did my make up fully for the first time in a while.

So basically, John and I arent seeing each other anymore. It really sucks, because I ya know made a big deal about it on my blog, and now I feel slightly embarrassed to have to tell you that we arent together anymore. I started blogging more last January because I broke up with this awful person, and this was for me to do. I see so many awesome bloggers, favorites of mine with boyfriends and husbands and I would of course love to incorporate men in my life on here, but sometimes its best to just let things go with the flow. Anyways I was bummed out for a few days and just have been taking a lot of time to myself. My friend Jennifer from Tampa is tattooing up here and staying with me and its just been the best having her here. I am going to miss her, shes been a great addition to the house. Everyone has loved her and having her here. I feel awful for not blogging, but I just had to take some time away. I even took photos, but just wasnt pleased with anything I shot to show you all. If you have stuck around, thank you so much for putting up with my on going delays. I appreciate all my readers.

Xoxo everyone! PS... Welcome September! Its soooooo awesome.

Tattoo Wednesday. BAD VILLE

With last week being my birthday I missed out on Tattoo Wednesday, but to make up for it this week, I have a really good one to share with you.
Today's tattoo is my Bad Ville tattoo I got a few weeks ago. There were 19 people that have that tattoo at the time, I believe number 19 was just getting hers as Adam was talking me to about getting one. I would be number 20. So Adam gets a hold of me and I just walked down to the tattoo shop and had Johannes bang out Bad Ville number 20.



While I was at the shop, there was a photographer from Stuff taking pictures. He wandered into the bar and some how there were about 10 of us at The Behan that had a Bad Ville tattoo. We all hoped over to the tattoo shop and had a group photo taken. The issue of Stuff Magazine finally came out last week and our photo is awesome!



If you havent picked up a copy yet, get on it! Its a really cool issue in general. Photos taken all through out Boston. There are now 21 Bad Ville tattoos.

**Note. I found out tonight, September 1st, that there are 27 people with the Bad Ville tattoo now**

Rainy day greys

So I ended up getting th day off somehow... on a day I work a double. Its quite unheard of. After I found out I didnt have to go anywhere I just decided to lounge around today. I felt bad about not blogging if I was just sitting around. Today's rainy day grey outfit consists of an over size grey shirt/t-shirt dress, with a flowy cardigan, and cozy over the knee socks. I thew on my long eye glass necklace for a gold pop of color.











There is no need to sit around at home and not look some what stylish. I love all different shades of one color. On rainy days like this I like to wear lose flowy things and just relax. No need to wear high wasted shorts and be uncomfortable while sitting around. I might go up to the Behan later, all Ill throw on are my rain boots and grab my purse. Enjoy my lovely readers! Xoxo!

Birthday Dress: #23

Thursday the 11th I turned 23. Its not like 23 is a big deal year or anything but I am getting older. I talked to all my family, I got birthday packages from Florida! Ended up having the day off from work so I just took my time and went shopping and slowly got ready for my evening. I have always been a fan of really dressing up for your birthday.

This was my birthday dress when I was 4.


Well, its been 19 years since that. This was my birthday dress at 23.


Needless to say Ive totally toned it down from princess crowns and pink. I was originally going to wear my electric blue all sequins dress, but it was just to flashy for 10 Tables. I ended up going with my back up plan dress I bought at Revolve Clothing Exchange in Tampa, FL. I paid $60 for it which I know is ridiculous and I would never really do that all the time. Its the prefect 1960's mod dress.


I felt the need to buy new shoes for the evening and I went out and bought these high babies from Forever21.


I also bought these amazing fringe earrings that was $3.60. Im all about Forever21's cheap jewelry.




John took me to 10 Tables, for my first dinner there. I have been dieing to go for months. My friend Peter was so kind to make my birthday experience there ever so lovely. Dinner was delicious and John looked very handsome. I had a very lovely birthday dinner with him. At midnight before all that I was hanging out at the Behan with my friends and that was a lot of fun. Exactly what I wanted to do. I did miss having a birthday cake with my family, but Im a big girl now haha.
Xoxo.
