Collecting art can get expensive and take up a lot of space, but everyone can find affordable, high quality art and decor if you look in the right places. Whether framed, larger than life, or DIY, you can create a space that represents you, and on a budget! I live in less than 400 square feet with pretty limited wall space as it is, but it’s hard for me to live anywhere without art. So despite getting rid of most of my possessions, at least 1/4 of what I own is still art and decor – and I will try…

Street Artist Paul Richards Collaborates with W Concept
Well known designers and fashion retailers, W Concept, has stirred up the scene with a brand new collaboration featuring well known abstract street artist, Paul Richard. Not many street artists are recognized, which is a part of their underground thrill and appeal, let alone do many of them collaborate with fashion companies, however W Concept has brought several of Paul Richard’s most popular drip paintings (ones usually adorning Lower Manhattan and Brooklyn) a new form of life on the front and backs of high quality tees , plush sweaters, and hoodies. These great pieces below seen below will fit the wardrobe of…

Fashion Feelings: Rethink Tie-Dye
Tie-Dye is usually associated with hippies, at least for me, but that’s because I’ve only just started to accept and see the potential of tie-dye on things other than oversize, low quality, t-shirts. Lately, tie-dye has been getting more and more diverse. This could be because of the 60s revival “outdoor concert” and “road trip” trend that’s been around the last couple of years, or because color is just so hot right now. Either way, I’m liking it. Some designers are even taking a “high fashion” angle with tie-dye which makes it immediately street-fashion in my book since it’s also…
Lumi Printing: Print Tees or Art at Home, With the Power of the Sun
I couldn’t be more excited about this. I have always wanted to, and tried to, silk screen my own tees with little to no success and pretty much no interest in really investing in some of the expensive equipment needed to do it right. I was always fine with one or two color prints, using a screen, ink and light in my closet, but as I started to travel around more, this became unrealistic and messy to even consider. Then I heard about Lumi, and although I don’t own a kit of my own yet, I know I have found…
WTF Wednesday: The Garbage Coat
This week, I’m in Asheville, North Carolina. A beautiful town nestled in the Smoky Mountains, teaming with rivers, trails and the world famous Blueridge Parkway. Asheville has tons of vegetarian restaurants, a bustling art and music scene and enough boutiques to satisfy anyone. After having a picnic in the park downtown, we decided to walk around town and check out the many mini neighborhoods in the area. Just as we started, we saw this beauty in the window of a tailor’s shop. I am most definitely not against recycling and I am definitely not against creativity and innovation, but I had to take some…
Miami Street Art, 2+ Square Blocks of Heaven
We have been in Miami for about a month now, before that the Everglades and all sorts of other places around the state since August, and after having a not so great time here adapting to the East Coast attitude.. , I was happy to hear that one of my favorite artist, Sonni, who moved to Miami from Argentina over a year ago, was back to painting walls here in the US! I hinted on facebook that I was in town and he should tell me where I can see his new work and the next day, a clue I…
