Bowler hats chase away the rainy day blues

Hey there everyone! I should get an award for the least active blogger ever hahah. Like I often say, when you go to Music College, blogging usually tends to come last after all the perks of keeping up with being a musician, but I am loving it :)

So little darlings! How is everyone doing? I hope you all had  great christmases and new years. I sure did. This winter season I got a whole full month with my boyfriend. And just like he did last year, he helped me this year to decorate my house for christmas and make a wonderful christmas tree. I am really lucky to have him ^_^.

Anywho, this is an outfit from a little while back that I had failed to post, I just wanted to share it with you :)

I am wearing:

Black dress ~ thrifted
Black Bowler Hat ~ Big it Up
Polka-dot heels ~ Forever  21
Ruby tights ~ Walmart

Orange in the Fall

These days I've been taking my orange skirt out for a walk a lot. The weather has been chilly at night but just dandy and sunny for walking in the daytime :). I really wear it everywhere haha, perhaps I should stop before someone picks up on it! The trees outside are swaying in gorgeous colours like a gypsy twirling in a her gypsy skirt, man Autumn is just a beauty everywhere you look. That's why I'm really happy to live in a country like Canada, where you have all these gorgeous seasons each year. My native country Cuba has no Autumn or Winter and unfortunately they never get to experience the colour changing leaves like up here. The sun and wind are paring up and making all the leaves dance today. It makes me so very happy ^_^.

Anyways, enough of that! I would like to share a new piece with you guys that my boyfriend has completed! It is called "Confronting Inevitability" - by my boyfriend - Ryan Demaree. If any of you would like to read an in depth description of the meaning behind HERE on his blog you may do so. It is very thought provoking, contrasting, and  reflective on the tragedy of 9/11 and the advancement of our species. My boyfriend suggests we should not be committing terrorist acts based on religion and economics and what not, bombarding one another, when instead we could be focusing on pushing our planet foreword and elevating our species to eventually be able sustain our planet and even visit and be part of other planetary systems in the universe. I think he's got a great point. Have yourself a looksie at his post! I guarantee you won't be disappointed :)


Other than my boyfriend's great new painting, I also wanted to share my outfit with you :)
I am wearing a fully thrifted outfit as often seems to be the case, no more than 5$ spent on each piece, which I love. We don't need much consumerism in the world! Especially when we can recycle and enjoy older garments! These are the first time I take out my 1950's heels out to public and walk around in them, they are pretty fantastic white sling-backs I found at a Good Will store a while back. They looked like they belonged in a Museum, so I couldn't leave them behind :) I alternate between leaving my hair up and down in these shots, can't make up my mind haha. Also check out my unicorn necklace in the last shot! It is absolutely one of my favourite neck pieces, gotta believe in unicorns man ;)

Salmon skirt - Thrifted
White 50's sling-back heels - Thrifted 
Unicorn necklace - Gift from a friend














Farewell for now! 
Peace & Love everyone! :)

Ohio Pictures Due

Hey there blogger buddies! Oh my goodness, you guys might as well drop me in the Guinness Book of World Records for the laziest blogger in history. It's been ages since I post. Time has wound up and tangled multiple events in my life at once and I've completely dodged my blogging wishes. The past few weeks I've been having College exams, multiple recording sessions, and gigs everywhere. I have missed out on the chance to sit down and post. I apologize I also haven't been able to comment on all the blogs of you lovely people. Hopefully things will slow down now and I can tend to these things more. 

Anywhooo, these pictures here are some I had mentioned in my previous Ohio visit post. These are from my visit back in September with my boyfriend Ryan Demaree. It was just me taking pictures all jolly in my red flower rose crown stomping around in his room, proud to be surrounded by his glorious artwork. I miss my boyfriend so much, but we are soon to see each other, currently planning a visit for Christmas time. I wore this dress with him in our previous visit in Canada you saw on this post here, it is definitely on of my most favourite red pieces. 

Red eyelet mini-dress - Thrifted 
Black chunky-heel pumps - Thrifted
Red rose floral crown - Handmade

Enjoy the pictures and my boyfriend's artwork!






My boyfriend's biggest painting to date:
"Lascaux" -by Ryan Demaree

-a piece of his inspired by the Palaeolithic cave paintings in the french pre-historic caves of Lascaux. 
Ryan considers his the top of his best paintings, and indeed it is majestic.If you would like more information on it or even purchase any prints you can check it out HERE.

It can make a great mouse pad or mug or ipod case image ;) I can also give you his contact info
for any questions :)



-"Lascaux" -by Ryan Demaree

Here we see some of his other paintings hanging by his wall next to his bed. I remember I would bump into these a lot when I would sit on his bed and almost knock them down haha. Sorry baby XD. The titles for these are "Cosmic Broadcast -Last Transmission"  on the left and "Behind the Scenes-Morning Broadcast" right in case you would like to know ;).


S'more of them round the room:
These are "Copernicasso" on the left and "The Eternal Staring Contest" on the right.


 As you can see, there is stacks and stacks of more paintings of his located all over his room, the man's got tons. Tons for me to explore ;).


Even more paintings back there ;)


There's my gorgeous bearded man and me :)

Ode to Ryan's Masterpiece :).


There's us darlings together :).

I totally interrupted him and closed his laptop and started kissing him ^_^.


And the kiss took over ;).


What a win :)

Hope you enjoyed the post! My bad it was a month late. 
Peace and love and happy blogging to you all.
Hope you enjoy the excellent fall weather :)
