Europe Trip 2010 032(2)flowers 042(2)

I just wanted to show you guys a few of my photography pieces. I entered an art show last month, and I am also entered in one the 14th of August. So, these I am selling. The middle one is a picture I took in Europe on the class trip in May. That trip is probably going to one the highlights of my life. It was once in a lifetime thing.

I came home from shopping at Vaughan Mills with only one bag of stuff. Good job, Jess. But, I feel that it is better to get a few really good things, than a bunch of okay, and mostly cheap, things. The Vaughan Mills mall is huge, so I didn’t go in every store, or I would have been there all day! So, for this outfit I will be showing you one of the shirts I bought. I also adore this dual bird necklace from Forever 21. I added a belt with metal details that I found in my sister’s room, pairing the old with the new. I am also showing you my hairstyle for that day, a quick up-do with braided bangs and side ponytail.

Summer Lovin’

This will be my first blog post on Opened Drawers. I will be talking about beauty and fashion mostly, I will also add a few random blogs to do with, lets say, art for example. Just plain art. I love it. I guess you could say I’m kind of an artsy person, I enjoy anything to do with creativity and innovation. I have been inspired by many other bloggers, and I have always wanted to start my own. I am also very interested in makeup, so I will add some makeup video tutorials. Anyways, back to art: I will tell you a bit about myself. My passion is art…and art… and art… and… art. I am planning on going to University and getting an art degree, maybe even teaching. I have one more year to get my life figured out, and I don’t like being rushed or on a time limit. But, what can you do, right? All I know is that I want to go in the art field, from then on… ha, I have no idea. We will just have to wait and see where life takes me.

For this outfit, I paired my ripped & destroyed denim shorts with my friend’s cute floral tank top (which I LOVE, by the way!). I layered with my new white sheer blouse, which can be very versatile. It could also be worn with leggings, tucked into a flirty skirt, or even used as a bathing suit cover-up. It can be given a harder edge by pairing it with a black leather jacket or a chunky necklace and bangles. I added a cute woven hat (my friend’s from Cuba), to give it a more “beachy” look.
