Vitruvian Girl
Unlike the Vitruvian Man, the Vitruvian Girl is not of perfect proportion. She is not the image that represents the blend of art and science during the Renaissance, or the universe as a whole, nor is she the measure of all things “girly”. She is however a believer..a believer like Leonardo that the human eye is the perfect instrument in which to learn the laws of nature, and the artist, the perfect person to illustrate them.The Vitruvian girl is a modern one.
She thinks, creates, observes, teaches, cares and shares. And even with her flaws and her fears, she reaches past the circle, out of bounds, free to fall, until she flies…
Follow her and see what wonders she may bring...
I seriously love this song… And I seriously love the show I heard it on, GIRLS. If you haven’t seen it, you’re really missing out. I’m trying to sleep, but instead I’m humming this song and bobbing my head in bed.
Ok so I am obsessed with the bracelet tutorials on Honestly WTF…I honestly (hehe) want to do them all!
After hours upon hours of getting lost in an internet wasteland, I am cutting the shit and making my first one tonight! I hope this goes better than my 2 hour attempt at fishtail braiding this morning…let’s just say my hair ended up closely resembling something that an anchor is tied too…
Long live DIY!
Dog Day Afternoon
This was another weekend dedicated to, surprise BRANDY!
Saturday was the annual South Beach Dachsund Winterfest 12’, where all Dachsund owners are invited to bring their pets and socialize. Clearly this was an opportunity to make Brandy stand out, shine brighter amongst all the other hotdogs…And for this she would need her own custom made coat.
Which clearly she showed no shame in wearing…
Here’s how I did it:
I followed (once again) my favorite sewing book, S.E.W. Everything Workshop by Diana Rupp. I made the pattern myself and was able to do it easily using her awesome step-by-step tutorial in this book. Total cost $18.27, 4-5 hrs to complete. Beginner seamstress friendly :)
And a recap of our day.
Brandy arrives…
Drinking water from a coconut…
Picking a fight…
Scoping out the other dogs…
All in all I’d say she had a pretty awesome day…
Cheeses Christ, Dinner Party for Six !
My gorgeous & gracious friend Leilani lives in the lovely Midtown Miami where we held a cheesy party.
Here we selected an array of delicious cheeses such as Parmesan, Mozzarella, Goat Cheese, Brie, Feta…more MOZZARELLA !
In all honesty everyone was a little too hungry to set the table and we ended up eating the food as it was being put out. So excuse me for not having a fancy theme, but hey this isn’t Better Homes & Gardens, real people are HUNGRY.
I inadvertently dressed like a waitress…
Eat. Drink. Repeat.
Night friends.
