[DIY] Sometimes you just gotta...

Photobucket
Photobucket
1.I spent the entire day nursing 
my hangover 
and 2. working on this 
necklace/metal vest/dominatrix looking piece of jewelery.
Inspired by FASHIONtoast
whom I believe also DidItherSelf.
3.Then ate sushi with Whale.
4. Then stopped at an art opening.
5. Now I'm eating chips and salsa..
And contemplating what this evening will hold.

[DASH SNOW] This is the art of our generation.


Photobucket



Dash Snow was born into the circle of the elite but he lived against the grain of all social norms. He spent his 27 years creating a ruckus that few could stake claim too and from that ruckus came some of the greatest art of our generation thus far. Just a kid & his Polaroid, documenting the degradation, disgust and rebellion that we all see so clearly. He merely made it comprehensive.

What the fuck are you doing with your time here?

[BROOKLYN LOVE] Cass is on stylecaster!

While scrolling through my daily style caster email today, I noticed a familiar name under the news section.  Go Figure! My sister's good friend/roomate in brooklyn was spotted in SoHo, Cassandra Madsen!! Cass definitely has some of the best style I have ever witnessed, so the recognition is beyond deserved.  Look forward to seeing more of Cass in the future!
