The weather here is constantly fluctuating this fall, therefore don't be shocked when you tune into the blog one day only to view pictures of me in a sweater & the next day on the beach in my straw hat & bikini. I'm really not a loon. Lucky me, the weather for this day was near perfect. Jeans & a tee seemed a flawless fit. This pair of jeans are oldies...but I love them! My first job out of high school was in retail. I was a Guess girl. As an employee of a denim based company, I owned quite a bit of their jeans, many of which I still have today. This particular pair is from Marciano & I like keeping them around for a comfy go-to.
So, I'm a lime green lover. Actually, I love all shades of bright green...lime, chartreuse, neon green...just name it! Bright colors are so cheerful, I would even venture to say if you open the doors of my closet...what you will find is nothing less than an explosion of colors (just ask my friends ha). I can't help it!
Among the many lime goodies I've collected through my sprees, I am obsessed with this keychain. I read once that "learning about an artist through your favorite designer is like your best friend telling you an amazing secret." And I completely agree! This keychain was part of the collaboration of designer Marc Jacobs (whom I am a HUGE fan of) utilizing designer/artist Stephen Sprouse's graffiti images on Louis Vuitton bags & accessories. Sprouse, whom passed away in 2004, was mostly popular in the 1980's for mixing "uptown sophistication in clothing with a downtown punk & pop sensibility" (NY Times). His influences mostly came from pop artists such as Andy Warhol of the 1960's. Emerging during the New York City street culture & hip-hop movement of the late 1970's/1980's, Sprouse utilized graffiti-the popular art form of this time. He collaborated with fellow artists such as Keith Haring. Art is an expression of imagination & skill. I'd def say that graffiti & pop culture are two of my favorite forms of art. So, this keychain was a must-have!
