PIFFY INSPIRATION

SPRING 2013 INSPIRATION

With the hurricane recoveries and school out for 3 days I am taking this time to work on my Spring/Summer 2013 Illustration Collection. My inspiration is Tropical, lots of blues and lime greens and aqua.

PRE & POST HURRICANE SANDY

Monday morning streets were empty, it's weird as this is usually a busy street
As you already know I live in NYC, I had to deal with Hurricane Sandy. Im safe thank god and had no problem with electricity but I know many people have been affected by this hurricane with floodings and power outages and people who have lost their lives, it's a tragic time here in NYC, I took some pics pre and post the hurricane so take a look. 



Strong winds monday afternoon



Kmart preparing for the hurricane



haha the sarcasm





The city was pretty much quiet and dead

so crazy pics came about

my roommate Sarah

and then we were craving ice cream

even the postal police wanted a pic lol




Then things started to get real serious, tuesday classes got canceled too


Power went out around my area, street lights and traffic lights were out, it was kinda scary for the city of lights to be so dark

and wednesday is off too now, its cuz the subway systems aren't running people who live in Brooklyn, Queens and Jersey can't really get to campus 

Post-Sandy the streets are busy again but everything is still closed

except for souvenir shops of course 

All the people standing outside the closed Starbucks for wifi (since most people lost power and internet)

This is the most action Ive seen so far around my neighborhood lol not so serious but I know other areas are bad

Prayers go out to those affected by Hurricane Sandy

CLOTHES-MINDED PROP-UH-GAN-DUH STATE OF MIND


Sporting my Marylyn Prop-uh-gan-duh shirt this past Saturday. Prop-uh-gan-duh is my friend's t-shirt line with a few different options, they recently started their t-shirt line and have been promoting locally in Florida, Ive decided to support them up here in NYC. I love the concept of Marilyn Monroe wearing sneakers :p  Make sure you check them out at prop-uh-gan-duh.com






SILVIA TESTING OUT THE SHOT FOR ME 




PIFFY JAMZ


Absolutely LOVE Alicia Keys new song Girl On Fire, it's my new jam song while draping and trying to get things done. It's the kind of song that makes you feel like you can conquer the world!

"She's just a girl, and she's on fire
Hotter than a fantasy, longer like a highway
She's living in a world, and it's on fire
Feeling the catastrophe, but she knows she can fly away

Oh, she got both feet on the ground
And she's burning it down
Oh, she got her head in the clouds
And she's not backing down

Looks like a girl, but she's a flame
So bright, she can burn your eyes
Better look the other way
You can try but you'll never forget her name
She's on top of the world
Hottest of the hottest girls say

Oh, we got our feet on the ground
And we're burning it down
Oh, got our head in the clouds
And we're not coming down"

ANNE HATHAWAY IS MARRIED!




Yup I was as shocked as you are, I didn't even know she was dating anyone! Apparently her and her boyfriend Adam Shulman were together for 4 years. Anywho I am happy for her and would like to say congratulations to her and hubby. Now the fashion part.. her DRESS.. IT WAS PINK aaah I cant believe it haha she got married in a pink Valentino dress! ok slightly pink lol Now there are hardly any pics online but the few (blurry) I could find I posted and thanks to Valentino for posting the sketch of the dress with all it's details.



According to a rep for Valentino, the design team created a strapless ivory silk point d’esprit tulle dress, which includes a pink hand-painted shaded train embroidered with satin flowers. The 1920s-inspired veil consists of a lace ribbon with a large flower, adorned with small crystal beads.

I'm not sure how I feel about the dress, it looks gorgeous in the sketch but in the blurry pics above not so much, I think I'll wait till clearer pics surface the web to give my final opinion.
