Color Inspiration: Golden Boy & All Pretty Things Yellow

Forget the rain, waking up early today has its benefits like seeing my boyfriend leave for work. Today’s post was inspired by lover boy and his Golden Boy shirt.

Currently Drinking…blk.

After a rough week of turkey, salty foods and alcohol, I need a detox. While searching for the perfect elixir at Bristol Farms, I stumbled upon a unique water called blk. Unique meaning; it’s actually black in color. Totally opposite of what you would think pure water would look like. Being a person that is obsessed with beverages and taking risks, I decided today I would risk it all on blk. The result? Pure happiness. The taste was great and the results perfect for what I needed – finally felt completely hydrated! Quick stats on the product courtesy of the blk. beverages website:

My good friend posted this on her Facebook today. I think it’s worth sharing and gives something for us all to think about.

Think Differently. Steve Jobs & His Approach to Life

Marissa — Sat, 08 Oct 2011 00:53:10 +0000

Losing Steve Jobs this week is a huge lost for the world. His creative inspiration, contiguous spirit and overall leadership skills brought so much to the world in general beyond technology and design. After the world expressing their lost, I feel this post by Yahoo sums up what a wonderful individual Steve Jobs was. By living each day as if it were his life, he created an extraordinary legacy.

“I was in the parking lot with the key in the car, and I thought to myself, ‘If this is my last night on earth, would I rather spend it at a business meeting or with this woman?’ I ran across the parking lot, asked her if she’d have dinner with me. She said yes, we walked into town and we’ve been together ever since.” Steve Jobs

Friday Fabulous: DEM (Dale Edwin Murray)

Marissa — Fri, 07 Oct 2011 18:57:52 +0000

Starting this weekend off right with a new artist that I just had to share: Dale Edwin Murray or DEM for short. Thanks for Yello and Juxtapoz! I found this talented illustrator and graphic artist. DEM lives and works in London but luckily for those of us across the pond we can still view his creations on his site. The subject matter hits right to my 90′s fondest memories of early hip hop. With ode to inventors and regulators of rap, DEM features the pioneers like Snoop Dogg, Eazy E and recent rap moguls like Kanye West. Check out more of his Hip Hop Heads at his site here or follow him on twitter: @daleedwinmurray

Power to the Poster: strawberryluna’s bright eyes

Marissa — Mon, 03 Oct 2011 06:15:22 +0000

Introducing poster of the week aka power to the poster! With all the shows I’ve been attending this year, my love for posters has grown rapidly. Today I am loving the Bright Eyes poster featured on Fab.com. (My new FAVORITE site for unique, artistic gifts.) This last week they showcased print and poster designers strawberryluna (wife and husband team: Allison and Craig Seder). The dynamic duo’s illustrations are amazingly quirky and fun, and they don’t stop at Bright Eyes. Check out more of their work here to see posters for Death Cab for Cutie, Belle & Sebastian and many more:

Shoe Crush: Bright Colorful Heels

Marissa — Fri, 09 Sep 2011 02:27:03 +0000

While browsing on the fabsugar, I found myself feeling the need for something new, something to lift my spirits – almost like a little reminder of summer. Voilà – there it was: a beautiful style tip about bright colorful heels. Since I’m a big fan of black in my wardrobe but also obsessed with color, I couldn’t help but be in awe of Fabs suggestion. It was almost like encouragement for me to go out and buy those bright green heels I’ve been admiring for the last month. Well, in honor of all those pops of purple, velvety blues that would make Elvis cry and canary yellow heels I must award the below as my shoe crush of the week: Yves Saint Laurent Palais Peep-Toe Suede Pump.

Obsessed with Lulu Frost Spring 2012

Marissa — Thu, 08 Sep 2011 05:16:29 +0000

Had to share this preview from Fashionologie of Lulu Frost Spring 2012 collection. The surfboards alone are making me beckon for Spring. As once upon a time I designed a couple of surfboards, I’m just in awe of how wonderfully done these are and how they are displayed. Great job Lulu Frost for complimenting your Spring collection so nicely!

Dynamic Duo: MyChelle & Eminence

Marissa — Wed, 31 Aug 2011 05:05:41 +0000

After a fun-filled weekend of Deadmau5 and other adventures, I found myself having a case of the Mondays. So how does one fight this battle of the blues? With a double whammy of cruelty-free masks by MyChelle and Eminence! My new favorite skincare combo helps to fight fatigue and hyperpigmentation.

Quick stats for this dynamic Duo:

MyChelle Hydrating Cactus Mask

Great for Rosacea and hypersensitive skin. I love this vegan cactus mask. It’s refreshing and helps with any redness that I might have. This mask is recommended for 20 minutes so it can absorb properly into the skin. I start with this one first since it does not have any texture like the Eminence does.

Eminence’s Stone Crop Masque

Next add a layer of Eminence’s Stone Crop Masque. This gooey green mask is cruelty-free and paraben-free just like the MyCelle counterpart. I love the ingredients in this mask: organic stone crop plant, aloe and honey. But better than how it feels is how it work makes my skin feel afterward: dewy and fresh.

Try this combo. It’s great for all skin types!
