I was a student for many years and unlike many I saw around me, I had to work full time while going to school. I didn’t have parents to live with, or any family at all actually, no one to ask for assistance, advice, or anything else people naturally take for granted. I don’t want to make the story too long… but I grew up believing I would never go to college at all so taking that risk was a big deal for me and I had to do it alone. It was harder for me to even apply for…

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…

Barneys New York Spring 2012 Model Talk
Barneys New York has come up with a pretty cool idea this Spring to showcase some of their newest collections. A video with a fun and interesting dialogue with the models wearing said collection on the set of the photoshoot. I’m not one to spend too much time on a high fashion website, fawning over things I can’t afford but I sat and watched all the clips and it made me feel a little less put off by the models and the store itself. Most of them are fun, fairly normal individuals and the videos feature each of them telling…

I’m not sure why they decided to get into jewelry but I’m…
