If I only....part one

Ladies and, maybe, gentlemen, I am here because I have curated items that I would own if money were no object. Most the items I post or even pin are meant to be either forms of inspiration or that are already items I am donning or attainable and within my budget. Some of you lovely readers may even own a few of these items, if so and get sick of them you know who to call ;) I don't think it hurts to dream and be well prepared if I ever come into substantial amounts of money. FYI, I would donate first to charity, then have a car pick me up to go shopping.

Spectrum

Many of you will quickly recognize this picture from Gossip Girl. It is a Richard Phillips painting that was hung in the VDW's apartment. I loved it the minute I saw it, but never thought about purchasing it. My appreciation for art was never fully developed until a few years ago. My parents were into Renoir so much that as a child I thought it may have been the only artist out there! Awhile after I got on Twitter, I started to find out about free days at the MFA and always made sure I would attend. Around this time, I also started making small pieces of art, you could say, and shellacking them. It was my way of decorating my apt. Then, in the process of completing my baccalaureate, I took an art history class and fell in love.  In the last six months, I've been visiting museums more frequently than ever and I couldn't be happier! Next on my list is Guggenheim and the Whitney.

My favorite painting is Whistler's Nocturne in Black and Gold, but Sargents El Jaleo at the ISG is breathtaking. In any case, I wanted the Phillips Spectrum piece. The best price I found was $150, but when I woke up this morning to a lovely email about photo-to-canvas prints, I was ecstatic. I uploaded the picture and it's hopefully on it's way to me soon!! One would assume I need a new room for all my clothes, which I do, but I think it's more for the wall space for all my art. 

New arrivals

I read recently on Twitter that blogging is like a marriage and unless you commit fully, it'll never work. I am definitely not in a committed anything with my lil blog. I feel horrible because I have been cheating on it with Tumblr. I use them as different outlets, as I assume most of you do as well. Blogging is actually things I'm coveting or closeting/wearing. Tumblr is my fantasy and a nice outlet for the way I see things, which is primarily in a dramatic sense. I do apologize for not taking care of this particular blog, but I am not a OOTD girl. (I usually wear all black these days and hate taking my picture) So bear with me while I use images or just blab on.

Selling!!

Hello lovely readers! I usually bring all my stuff to STA, but these were just bought and only worn once and I'd prefer to sell them to someone I know will be good to them ;) They're just a little small even though I am a size 9. I should've gone with the 9.5. They are selling online for $130-$280, depending where you look. I'm asking for $75! You know where to find me!
