How To Be An Artist

Stay loose. Learn to watch snails. Plant impossible gardens. Invite someone dangerous to tea. Make little signs that say yes! and post them all around the house. Make friends with freedom and uncertainty. Look forward to dreams. Cry during movies. Swing as high as you can on a swingset, by moonlight. Cultivate moods. Refuse to "be responsible". Do it for love. Take lots of naps. Give money away. Do it now. The money will follow. Believe in magic. Laugh a lot. Celebrate every gorgeous moment. Take moonbaths. Have wild imaginings, transformative dreams, and perfect calm. Draw on the walls. Read everyday. Imagine yourself magic. Giggle with children. Listen to old people. Open up. Dive in. Be Free. Bless yourself. Drive away fear. Play with everything. Entertain your inner child. You are innocent. Build a fort with blankets. Get wet. Hug trees. Write love letters.

The Fashion Jungle

One of the trends I am loving this season are animal prints, especially cheetah looks! They are a great way to give an edge to a normally conservative piece. Here are some of my favorite looks, from Urban Outfitters, Ann Taylor, and Michael Kors!

And, as you could probably tell by my last post, Forever 21 has some great choices for the animal in you too! Check some out below!
