If I lived here..



If I live here, eclectic would be my word.  I'd wear all kinds of hats, literally and figuratively.  I'd be an artist, traveler, dancer, writer, musician, and teacher. A jack of all trades and inspired by everything, my life would be full of dreams and ambition.  My art of choice is mixed media, and I'd have a fabulous studio out in the back yard.  The items I pick up from globe trotting are used frequently in my projects, and my travels and crafts are what inspire my monthly online magazine that I publish.  At night I am in a band as well as a modern dance company, and I occassionally teach classes on painting and ballet.  Always looking for the next project and adventure, I am dragging around my writer boyfriend all across the world.  Thankfully he writes short stories and can work anywhere, so we travel at the drop of one of my many sun hats.  We especially frequent South America where he is from and where I draw a lot of my inspiration.  Always ready for life to take us far away, we've got our vintage LV bags packed to the brim and our minds open to wherever life might lead us next. Bring it on.

Starring: Tie Dye

I've probably spent the past 20 years trying to figure out my style.  The problem is that I like all kinds of styles - rock n' roll, preppy, bohemian, sporty, girly, you name it.  My closet is just one big mix of styles, and yes I try my darndest to mash them together whenever possible.  If I could harness the perfect boho-rock-sporty girly gal, then life will be almost complete.

I give you now what I think is my second ode to tie dye.  Tie dye is one of those things I've loved forever and will love always.  It makes an appearance in all style types, so it will be a wardrobe must for my perfect style self.





Ok.. I know the rug is rainbow, the chair is splatter, AND the pillow is dip dyed, but they are such close relatives of tie dye! =)
