The Art Series-Ka'kia

Last night was an event previewing Ka'kia, a new collection by Alana Kakia. The installation was beautiful, and unfortunately not captured fully by my sad little camera. A little bit hippie, a little bit distressed, and so earthy and natural.  There are also a couple other of my favourite shots of the night.

Berries and Cream

The gorgeous weather lately has not only  made me realize my wardrobe is inhabited with an insane amount of black, but it has also awoken my desire to lounge about outside and eat fresh fruit. These strange inclinations have inspired me to pick (no pun intended), some of my favourite berry and cream coloured things and try and break the black habit even just for a moment. Random I know- but this is what I came up with.

Alyssa finally speaks out

Unfortunately, as Melissa already knows, I can sometimes be quite the procrastinator. More times than not, I’m usually a little bit late. Which is why, even though Mel mentioned my picks would be up the next day, you’re getting them a few days after the fact, so my sincere apologies…
However, I’m sure most of you can agree with me that sometimes your schedule can just seem so overwhelmingly busy it is hard to find enough hours in the day to do everything that you’ve planned, which brings me to a very basic point. With all the running around that we all seem to be doing day in and day out, we all would like to think we don’t look quite as disheveled as we can sometimes feel, and having a great bag that you can throw over your shoulder can be the staple piece that allows you to feel like the sophisticated women you most assuredly are. It seems to me at the moment that I am definitely in a rut in a relationship with my purse. I am increasingly becoming bored with the bags in my closet, and this summer I am on the quest to finding a new love, so to speak. With that in mind, here are my picks so far…
