Correction...

Just wanted to say that I totally lied to you yesterday. The par-tay at Artifaktori was def yesterday, not today as I may have led some to believe. However the sale does continue through Sunday. Things are marked down by category i.e. all jewelry and housewares are 15% off, all shoes are 35% off, etc. There was wine aplenty as well as snackage. I copped that sweet lil necklace you see above and I love it. I absolutely adore the store’s set up and idk who put the outfits up on the wall but I’d like to learn a thing or two from them. There is a bunch of ILL handmade stuff from MassART students and even some of the stores staff! There are these feathered hair clips that you have to see to believe. The store is steps away from Davis Square station on the red line which is superb seeing as though I don’t know how to drive. While on the subject of that, I’m planning to learn very soon. I’ve set a goal of having my mini cooper for one of the following holidays: Christmas, Valentine’s Day, My birthday. It’s going to get done. I just got an email from Groupon slingin me bartending lessons for $150 (if you wana hop on that, let me know) so maybe I can get a side hustle bartending and make some extra guappage. Anyone that knows me KNOWS I’m copping. I’ve been talking about taking bartending lessons for YEARS, but the $445 price tag was always way too steep for me. $150 is something that I can handle. Back to the original topic though. GO TO ARTIFAKTORI THIS WEEKEND! It’s located at 22A College Avenue in Davis Square in Somerville. I promise it will be love at first sight 

Another Store Party...

Last weekend I was at Blvd., this weekend I plan to be at Artifaktori in Davis Square. WHEEE! I’ve never traveled out to the spot, but I think now would be a perfect time. Music, food, drinks, and vintage gear for 35% off? You better f’in believe that I’ll be up in there. I really shouldn’t go because I don’t have much expendable cash right now, but you only live once right? For all I know I might not even find anything that I like (which I highly doubt cuz the store looks dumb ill, but a girl can try to justify and reason…right?) so maybe I’m just going to chill and socialize. The actual par-tay is tomorrow, July 30th, from 7 to 10. Artifaktori is located at 22A College Avenue in Davis Square over in Sommerville. The gear will be on sale all weekend though (35% off THIS WEEKEND ONLY!), so even if you miss the event there’s still plenty of reason to stop through.

Peace is Something We Should ALL Wish For...

If I were rich I think that I would be a great philanthropist. Seeing as though I’m not, I like to lend myself to helping people less fortunate than myself whenever I get the chance. Sometimes assisting a cause takes a great deal of time and energy. Other times it’s as simple as signing your name on the dotted line. I love to flip through Blogger by clicking the next blog link because you truly never know what goodies you are going to find. Just a few minutes ago I came across My Land Iran, a blog by a girl named Asfar. Asfar is Iranian and sick of being oppressed by her government. I’ve been following the story of what’s going on over there and it’s very depressing. I could not imagine having to live like some of them do. I could not imagine having to see the things that they do and live in fear (remember the Neda video?...exactly). At first I was drawn to her beautiful pink nails and sick DKNY bracelet. Then I read what she had to say. The part that really got me was her post titles “What If?”. It starts off with a picture of a bloody man wiping his face. The words made me think about the simple freedoms and abilities I have that I don’t necessarily take for granted (trust me, sometimes I’ll get up and just start walking simply because I suddenly became overjoyed by the fact that unlike some at least I CAN walk), but everyone needs a reminder every now and then. Here’s an excerpt from the post:

‘What if you were told what to wear? What words you cannot speak? Where you can and cannot go? What if your life depended on those who decide for you?”

She ends it with the words: “When government power does not come from the people, its power is unlimited and controls every aspect of people’s lives. HELP US FREE IRAN”. I don’t know that there is much that I can do, but I did email Asfar simply to let her know that it’s not only the Iranian people that wish to see a peaceful future not just for Iran, but for every town and city in every part of the world. Sometimes I just get into these moods man… You can check out Asfar’s blog for yourself at http://wwwterritory68.blogspot.com/

Nuzart: Inspiration 4 What Will Someday Be a Living Room

(From top: the Nuzart logo, My fav piece from the site Metamorfosi by elenalasagniphotography)


Ok. So as some of you may know I recently moved into my first apartment. If you know that you’ve probably also heard me complain about not having a living room yet. I like so many things and so many different styles that it’s really hard for me to just be like well I want my living room to have this type of couch and be this color, etc, etc. There is literally nothing in there yet but a black area rug cuz the carpet is so damn ugly. Anywho, I’ve figured out the direction I want to go in. Something that I just KNOW I won’t regret or be bored with soon because it can be ever changing with minimal time, effort, and $$$. I am going to fill my entire back wall, floor to ceiling, with delicious art. Dead smack in the middle I want to put a table of some sort that can hold sculptures or other fantastic things I come across. Isn’t that a super dope idea? I’m gunna scout my fav flea market this weekend to see if I can find a proper little table. I had this light bulb moment after my newest new discovery Nuzart. Nuzart is IIILLLL. Then again I say that about everything I put in this blog, so maybe you should check em out for yourself. The basic idea of Nuzart is….art. It’s kind of like the Etsy of artwork. Their tagline is “a new way to exhibit, buy, sell, and share talent”. The homepage allows you to choose how you want to look for your art. You could go by color, subject, shape, genre, or technique. You can even combine the choices. For example I could look up brown, panoramic photographs of landscapes or abstract, square paintings. Cool enough. But it doesn’t stop there…oh no. You can then choose your printing material. Matte finish photo paper is the cheapest option, but you can get your work printed on everything from canvas to something involving aluminum that I don’t quite understand even after reading the description, and everything in between. From there you can choose the size. Depending on the shape you choose this can range from 50cmx50cm to 120cmx12ocm or 40cmx30cm to 70cmx50cm. You can also sell and create art through the site. I am already loving some of the things that I’ve found on there and I might cop one or two sooner than later. I also plan to look at a bunch of local stuff. I’ll keep you guys updated on what I hope is going to end up being a lovely collage. Take a look at Nuzart by clicking the link below

Chrishabana Hat

I've never known Chrishabana to make anything other than jewelry but apparently these dope hats are a new venture for them (or maybe I'm just late). I would so rock one of these...or both of them. I would go and cop one...but it's really sad that they cost 200 f'ing dollars. Some celeb has to wear this and they better make it dope. The acrylic words are on some mastermind steez imo. I'm guna be rich one day and cop all types of craziness like this just you wait and see. I don't care if I'm 50 when it happens either. You can holla at Chrishabana at where else but

No stores in the bean carry the hat but you can order it online at
