2010 The Beatrix Edition

It was quite a stylish year for my daughter Beatrix.

Makemake

My blog has been lagging a bit. I have just been so busy lately since my return from New York City. I'm working on getting my new Etsy store, Aesthetic, up and running as well as making lots of art. I wanted to post a few pictures from my new camera which is awesome. I'm so excited about it!  Bea got this swimsuit today while thrifting. It's a bit big but perfect for next year.

This is the Nara haircut I was referring to by the artist Yoshitomo Nara, that Beatrix chose.

 Here is some art that Bea and I have been up to lately.

Process Art #1

Dirt 

 For me, the best part of art is the process of making it. It is so fun to burn and smudge and stamp it. My two artist muses right now are Anselm Kiefer and Marina Abramovic.

Diametrically Opposed

gingham dress: thrift town, shoes: crimson & clover. skirt, sandals and top: crimson & clover vintage

I majorly scored at the Crimson & Clover sale yesterday. My complete outfit was a whopping $9. Today Bea and I scoured all the vintage shops in Sacramento for sunglasses. I've broken or lost all of mine this summer and am in dire need. I couldn't find one pair of vintage shades! All the stores had a huge selection of new ones, but I wasn't feeling them at all. Tomorrow Bea and I will continue our search. I didn't know this was going to be so challenging. I still am so backlogged on posting photos so I'm going to do quite a few blog posts before I go out of town so when I come back I can have a fresh start.

chucks: goodwill, dress and leggings: secondhand

My daughter Bea has been picking this dress out quite a bit for summer. I never have to take that many pictures of her because they all turn out so cute. But I do anyways. I just added an album on my facebook for photos that can't fit on the blog.

Morning After

Yesterday was the tenth anniversary of lipstick, a local awesome dance party. I woke up in the same dress and decided to take some photos.  Here is how we looked pre-party saying bye to our Agnes.

Alaric's awesome vintage shirt via thrift town as is my dress.

There was a sale on sunday at thrift town and Bea got some new shades.

I really liked how the pics turned out. The lighting is pretty cool in the morning when I rarely take pics. Modeling my clothes I think will really help me out when I start to photograph others, which I'm really excited about. I have two features of some local fashionistas coming up on the blog and I'm doing their photos! So exciting.

I'm going to LA tomorrow for the weekend with a couple of friends so my blog will be on a brief hiatus. Also I finally started a facebook page for my blog if you want to check it out<3

While looking for a photo locale worthy of these gorgeous dresses I happened upon a neighborhood community garden down the street. We had so much fun taking pictures in such a beautiful location. Pretty much every one of her turned out adorable so I included quite a few. My Gunne Sax dress was a gift from the very stylish and amazing Ericka.  I have been getting such wonderful clothing as gifts recently. This summer has pretty much been the best ever. I have been going to so many parties and re-connecting with friends and family and really enjoying staying home with my little girl.
