Canvas


Happy Saturday everyone!

Welcome back, and as promised here is my latest outfit/art post. I know it's summer in the other half of the world but where I am from, the leather jacket season is just beginning.


I am wearing an outfit that is meant to be worn during the summer. By adding this textured cardigan over the outfit,  you can go from warm and sexy to cool and casual -- perfect for the colder days ahead.


This jacket is an old one I fished out of my mom's luggage when I did my spring cleaning, I just love borrowing vintage styles and incorporating them into my own wardrobe.


I know people have been sporting these floral headbands for a while now. I guess it's never too late to join in on the trend, especially now since I found a good use for it too.


Since I am feeling more inspired, I decided to turn my post into a canvas painting of sorts. This post is inspired by the song Summertime Sadness by Lana Del Rey. It has a tragic message, but I like to believe that the song is about how one's love can make a person feel warm, youthful and alive.

      Thank you, Yuen. I just played around with various photoshop brushes to achieve this effect. I used cloud brushes. :)

    This post is so beautiful! I love what you did. We are in the middle of a heat wave so I can't even think about leather but fall is my favorite time of year and I can't wait for it to return!

      Thank you Caroline :) Wish we had fall too- everything about it seems beautiful to me. I am thankful that summer is finally over, so I can finally feel wear more and not feel like I'm in a sauna suit.
