Nails have a cat eye effect and while setting up our dinner plates the other night, I couldn’t help but notice how they match our Fiesta plate so perfectly!

Finally drew something on a previous page that I actually like. Previous drawing below was squared patterns of teals and blues to look like a swimming pool but when it wasn’t coming together I decided to color over it with a metallic red acrylic marker and draw white wolf inspired by a photo from Pinterest. I’m really happy with how it turned out.

Also, random rant, but I wish Pinterest would stop allowing AI works to take over the galleries, or at least allow users to filter searches to not have AI modified results.

Been struggling with inspiration on things to draw but finally had some time on a day off to draw and finish some works. Pretty happy with them.

Not ready to say goodbye to summer yet…but my Chloe Marcie bag will help me get by. Usually I would wear her simple, elegant but I wanted to throw some color on her and this is what I came up with. Tell me how I did.

Summer, you’ve been great—we’ll see you next year! 🌞😎

So happy when I saw this at my local goodwill. At first I thought someone had claimed it because there was a lady with her pushcart next to it, so I asked if she was buying it and she said no, so I swooped it up so quickly. I’ve been looking for something like this for years on Facebook marketplace and World Market and Home Goods, but I’m glad I waited for a deal like this. Also, I scored a net bag for $3 (would’ve been $12.99 at World Market) and a beautifully patterned pashmina vest and patchwork skirt (with pockets!)!! A good thrift day for sure!

REI Employee here, thought I’d showcase one of my favorite pins I wear on my vest in honor of the recently passed Dolly Parton. She was a gem of a human and an inspiration to all. Rest in Peace 🤍✨

REI employee here, remembering a legend today. She’s singing in the front row of a choir of angels up there. Love you Dolly

I think I hit the jackpot with some new Birkenstocks from my local REI, fits perfectly even without the strap on one side, and they cost less than a pair of Crocs. Wild.

Had a couple of hours to kill while the tides are coming down, so I decided to draw what was in front of me. First time on this hike with my partner, this new scene is now a very familiar place, and holds a special place in my heart and memory.

No longer a lurker, girls, I have finally joined the gang 💍✨

Thought it was just a fun backpacking adventure on the PNW coast, where we waited a few hours for the tides to drop down, climbed up and down ladders, saw some washed up dead whales, had some amazing freeze-dried meals, so perfect. I can’t wait to marry my best friend and continue to have my adventure buddy for life.

I was so ecstatic when I found this beautiful free people ombré cardigan at goodwill for $20 (sure, that’s on the higher side at a thrift store where they get their stuff for free, but for free people—what a deal!). Absolutely love the colors and the weight and length. My favorite outfits always have some article of clothing from Free People and I’m so happy to add this to my collection. It’s perfectly perfect 🩵💜✨

After some fun, busy events, I’m finally posting a couple of favorite entries from the past two months. Beach sesh, family visiting, renaissance fair, birthday at the zoo, seeing more family and then a European cruise with my mom (the main highlight was visiting Mont Saint Michel), I thought I did not make a lot of time to journal as I would like; however looking back at these pages, I can recall all the good summer moments and feel like I’m back there again. Still a lot of summer fun to be had. Still all the journaling I am going to enjoy along the way.

What I brought to the class for show-and-tell today is my vintage Loewe Flamenco with some island-inspired charm and I’m very happy with how the colors all mesh and vibe well together 🌺🐚💚🧡✨

Please share your charm-set up for the day!

Had to draw the moment I got home from being away on vacation for two weeks. Don’t know if I can really capture the joy felt in the moment, but I’m pretty happy with today’s drawing. Drawn with Ohuhu acrylic markers and Shutte Art Dual tip acrylic markers💕✨

I can only dream of a collection so perfect. 🤩

Went to the local zoo for my birthday and learned that there’s this colorful fellow called the cock-of-the-rock. Such a vibrant and bold orange, I don’t know if my artwork justifies his true beautiful.

…all by choice, of course.

Here’s an update to checking off some milestone items from my wishlist, the most anticipated one being the Gucci Pigna Pineapple printed Bamboo handle Peggy bag….on a previous post, I was excited about ordering both the LV 1859 Jacquard Neo Noe bag (pic 1, 4 and 5) and a vintage Jackie bag in the same pineapple print, but the following day the seller cancelled the order without any explanation…and that kind of crushed me, until I found the one I really wanted—the Peggy bamboo handle bag, more of a unique look, and having the crossbody strap is my preferred style.

Adding to my collection, I found a Marc Jacobs The Memo bag (pic 1 and 6) from his SS 2020 runway collection in this beautiful yellow suede leather and a Chloe Marcie bag (pic 7 and 8) also in a yellow suede (yea, there’s a theme here…), both for a steal of a deal.

Annnd I’m happy. Completely content. At peace. This is bag peace and I think I will go and just enjoy the bags I have.

Pre-birthday dinner with partner and his parents, came home grateful and feeling cute, and wanted to take a picture, ended up taking a video of a girl who’s got it pretty good all in all. I absolutely love my Louis Vuitton 1854 Neo Noe in this jacquard fabric. It’s lightweight and easy to carry all my belongings and more.

Featuring my beautiful husky-girl.

Beach vibes with a mix of lavenders and teals. Featuring my favorite t-shirt and corduroy pants both from billabong, ombré free people cardigan from goodwill and a Fendi vintage beaded baguette attached to a lee nylon bag.

Just a chill day at home today, decided to draw a tiger because they’re so beautiful and I hope I was able to its beauty. Still need practice but I had fun with it.
