18

Recently I started my 18th year of life. This is how spent day one of the 18th year.

We ventured to LA to see an art installation,but first, coffee.

We walked to the MOCA Pacific design center to see one of my most beloved artists, Jacob Hashimoto. See more of his work here.

The thing about art installations is they often inspire more art. Sometimes in the form of photography. 

 A strange thing happened....

We slowly became apart of the art when we decided to lay under one of the parts of the installation that had clouds printed on it. A group of dreamers under a million paper clouds in a paper town filled with paper dolls. 

All of a sudden it was like we were a part of the exhibit, strangers taking photos of us sitting under the clouds. Some of them were so kind to come up to us after and send us the photos (which turned out pretty cool). 

Jacob Hashimoto's Gas Giant

Art has always been a huge part of my life. I have probably send it over 1,000 times but fashion inspires art and art inspires fashion. It is a delicate ecosystem.

revival

Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist
This has never been more relevant to my life then now. I must prepare for the next four years of my life, as well as try to enjoy the last few days of my childhood. 

If anyone happened to notice, I took a small break from blogging so that I could figure my life out, and focus on a few other things: 

During this break I realized many things

1.that whole cliché  "growing up is trap" quote you see literally everywhere happens to be spot on. 

2. never let anything get in the way of doing something you love
3. running your own company is really hard and takes a lot of passion and long nights with much coffee, but also is very rewarding. 

4.I really missed blogging.

...

Now that I have a finally figured out a foundation for the next four years of my life I can look onto new things,

especially the revival of Oh How Very Peachy. 

What to look forward to:

sorry, i only shop at the chanel supermarket

to see where this fabulous banana art (shown above) came from click here

Chanel just did something so cool there are no words. 

Chanel's Autumn/Winter 2014 show in Paris was in a fully stocked supermarket! A CHANEL supermarket! 

The Chanel supermarket set that filled the Grand Palais in Paris. 

Models walked throught the market that was fully stocked with fake foods. “Délice de Gabrielle,” read a tin of tuna, referring to Mademoiselle Chanel’s real first name.

 No words are necessary to describe the coolness of this show. 

The hair and makeup was equally extraordinary

So many tweed coats it was amazing!

Thanks Chanel for now raising my standers of supermarkets. 

Karl is truly the most creative man in fashion.

Inspiration form the red carpet: The Oscars 2014

Inspiration from the Carpet: Oscars 2014 

how could you not love this?

 Bold Colors worn by Bold Actresses 

Jen could wear anything and it would be perfect. Her Dior dress(and recent Dior campaign) are both amazing!

Both Sandra and Amy wore stunning deep blue gowns that I'm sorta obsessed with.

Astonishing Appliqué

There were a ton of gowns with beautiful appliqué lace and flowers. 

Everyone's favorite horror story actress Sarah Paulson rocked this Elie Saab gown. Saab is one of my favorite designers because she creates these imaginative fairytale like dresses.

 Black is the new Black

People who know me know that I love wearing black. It is almost always stunning on anyone. It is especially stunning when Charlize Theron wears it.  

Anne went for a more edgy take one a little black dress. 

Proof that the back of a dress is just as important!

Emma Watson killing as always. 

 Whites, Golds, and Metallics, oh my!

Another trend i noticed was a lot of gold, metallic and white. The gowns reminded me of Greek goddesses. 

Now...

Can we please talk about real life Cinderella

 Lupita Nyong'o! 

This dress hands down was my favorite. It's Prada so of course it is going to be a stunning design. The color is gorgeous and she does a great job of paring it with minimalistic jewelry . I'm thinking possible prom 2014 dress inspiration?? 

Her jewelry was simple yet stunning!

oh and then the Oscars had this performance...

EZRA KOENIG signing in a tux (which he never wears) playing guitar on the steps with the moon behind him! It was like out of a movie and the most romantic thing. ever. 

 for those of you who do not know who this wonderful man is the lead singer of vampire weekend, and if you couldn't tell I sort of love him
