i've been trying to decide how to dress up our wall in the living room. we have 9 ft high ceilings and 25 ft wide space of blank blank blankity blank. it's been driving me crazy. my husband and i have been living in our apt for a year now and nothing has graced the smooth surface or brought attention to the eyes. the wall is painted in a brown/yellow/gold tone. flat. no gloss. a black ikea couch sits in front. grr. i've been collecting images to help inspire me. here's a few....

cock sauce. cocktail sauce that is.

2010-02-28T17:03:00.000-08:00

mmm. i was so craving cocktail shrimp when i went shopping this afternoon. after picking out the most scrumdidilyumptious looking ones i ventured out to choose a hot cocktail sauce. i find one and while i'm looking at its label something hits me. is it just me or does it seem like the bottles of cocktail sauce ranging from $2-4 is outrageous? i mean. you're only using like 1/2 cup maybe less for your shrimp cocktail. well. i like a lot but shiet it's still pretty pricey for not using the entire bottle. granted you'll have extra when it comes along i just don't think it's necessary to have a huge bottle for that price when it won't be used often. why hasn't someone come up with smaller bottle/cup for $1 or .25? NEWAYS. as i shook my head and put it back i decided to make my own sauce. i didn't really measure anything except i used 1/2 cup of ketchup and everything else was season to taste. sorry i didn't put exact measurements. trust your inner chef i guess. haha. sorry. but mine turned out amazing and i think i'll be doing this more often. F*ck $2-4 bottles of cocktail sauce.

Shrimp Cocktail Sauce

1/2 cup of ketchup

dash of ground pepper

dash of cayenne pepper*ur own hotness level

2 dabs of Tabasco*ur own hotness level

2 shakes of Worcestershire sauce

1 tsp of Wasabi*ur own hotness level

1 garlic clove minced

1 tsp of lemon juice

mix well. chill before using. enjoy!

another inspiration from EpiCute. i'm digging these colors. hm. this would look fantastic on a canvas framed w. bold black. eye catching image on a blouse. or a sewn design on a silk jersey jacket. these colors are amazing. *did i mention i hate pink. there's pink in this. wth. lol

12 oz nonfat wet cappuccino, please

2010-02-14T12:04:00.000-08:00

Cappuccino. coffee. love my life amongst other things. isn't it gorgeous when your cappuccino is placed in front of you with a heart or crazy shape floating in the foam? so awesome. i feel guilty for breaking the beautiful art but below the surface is what's calling me. for awhile i was going with mochas. just a plain ol mocha. then next raspberry mochas. to breve raspberry mochas. to white chocolate mochas. but now my heart rests between a nice wet cappuccino and a sweet white chocolate mocha. when i need my fix. i need it. i'm starting to slow down a little bit. i use to do 3 per day. maybe even one more for a snack. my baristas all know what i want and i'm guilty for cheating on them for another. yes. i do feel guilty. well. today i'm stuck with a bitter nasty starbuck drip coffee which i added some hazelnut creme for correction. failed. i think i'll go to my barista down the street and ask for a:

"yes, can i please get a 12 oz nonfat wet cappuccino."

you dirty broad

2010-02-09T23:06:00.000-08:00

i noticed Chicago is playing here in Seattle. I love that play. Anyways....the ad that caught my attention inspired me to quickly create a set i like to call. dirty broad. that's exactly what it is. so loving the style it puts off. in my mind i can see smeared red lipstick. smudged black eyeliner and shadow. ~~torn~~ sexy fishnet stockings paired with heels. no wonder i'm always quick to pair my dress shorts w. fishnet stockings!

here's another one that clicked inspiration. loving the color combination.

i've never had macaroons before. CRAZY. i know. they're so pretty. they totally remind me of Marie Antoinette. love her by the way. and the movie played by Kristen Dunst.

.rugby. so sexxy.

2010-01-04T21:36:00.000-08:00

was web surfing the other day and the feeling of "want" crossed my mind. i recently passed up Ralph Lauren's Rugby Collection and fell in love with a few pieces. so European boyish yet sexy at the same time. why the Fck do we not have one here in Seattle!

i'm thinking Harry Potter. but who the Fck cares. this is dope.

NYE is coming up folks. we all know it's about being with friends. having fun and kicking off what's to come. forget the past. celebrate the present and be ready for the future. the big question comes to mind.

....unbelievable....

2009-11-15T19:24:00.000-08:00

over the weekend i picked up my fav mag, Hi.Fructose. the cover grabbed my attention immediately. artwork by Lori Earley. i have never heard of her and i'm stoked that i do now. a master of graphite drawings and oil painting. her artwork is incredible. the pics i have posted up are just two of my favs. here's a little info on her. credit to her website. http://www.loriearley.com

"My oil paintings are a combination of classical realistic rendering with a personal element of distortion.

This distortion comes from my innate desire to transform my emotions into tangible planes that express what I feel, not what I see. " unbelievable talent.....

"daddy. i want this...."

2009-11-11T22:10:00.000-08:00

on my afternoon break i decided it was time to do some online clothes browsing. hehe. excited i started off with my favorite place. karmaloop.com. as my eyes ran over the thumbnails in the sale section i was stopped in my tracks by this:

-Married to the Mob. Flight Dress

i am a huge fan of karmaloop and their clothes and did i mention i'm a huge fan of the color PURPLE! i can totally see this as an addition to my wardrobe. it's calling my name....
I can see it pairing nicely with these:

-The Chuck Taylor Light. ankle mid in grey *for my urban feel*

-The Marley Wedge w. dots by Jeffery Cambell *for my sexy feel*

i'm not big on wearing gold but i do like the strappy gold heels the model is wearing with the dress. the purple and gold compliment each other well. ANYWAYS. i wants....=D

....ffffuuusssioonn....

2009-11-11T21:37:00.000-08:00

fu-sion:

-The merging of different elements into a union

-(of food or cooking) combining usually widely differing ethnic or regional ingredients, styles, or techniques

-a merging of diverse elements into a unified whole

point blank. two totally opposite things. different. but joined together. with that said.....i love that word and what it means. you hear fusion all the time around the restaurant business. example. asian fusion. i believe fusion takes place in my fashion statements as well as others. love it. it's not always about the fancy smancy. top name brands. i like to fuse expensive w. inexpensive. dirty dark designs w. clean designs. punk rock w. classical. urban. hip hop w.....well you get it! i'm all for funky and different! one of the many dope things about fashion.....fuse away.

....lovin you is like food to my soul....

2009-11-10T20:48:00.000-08:00

after this:

you're ready for this:

*I want this bedroom set. I want this bedroom. PERIOD.

back to life...back to reality.....

2009-11-10T18:40:00.000-08:00

wow. so i really started one. bare with me i guess while i try to get a handle on this. hmm where do i start exactly. why coco creme brulee? well, i love chocolate. shoot who doesnt? you can do so much with it. transform it into anything you want. anything you're in the mood for. it's amazing AND yummy. what more can i say? =)i ADORE and double love creme brulee. there's something so special about it's creamy, delicious, delicate taste. my favorite part in eating creme brulee? *giggle* oh my friend, why it's the breaking of the caramelized shell. there's something fun about tapping the cool metal spoon against hard sugar and hearing the sound of the small break. it brings a smile to my face. you get chocolate and creme brulee together and it's pure joy for me......two things that are so simple and pleasing to the tummy and eye.

what's to come? i'll be dibble dabbling(like my words) over the catch of the day. week. hour. month. whatever sparks my interest to COMMUNICATE to the world. what will it be? i want to focus on the surroundings of fashion. arts. and food. that's another reason why i chose chococremebrulee. to me in its simple self it is fashionable. def art(soft yellows, creams, paired against the crystallized tans blending into black sugar)and of course it's part of the most important course. DESSERT. YUM-O!

until then.....outro
