I found this artist around spring time and always go back to admire these creative prints on Etsy.

A little bit country

Jenelle Dronkers — Mon, 15 Nov 2010 02:19:10 +0000

For whatever reason I tend to feel sexiest and most like myself when I dress a little bit country. Maybe I was a pioneer woman in my past life, or a lumberjack’s wifey. The November catalog from Urban Outfitters is here and I fell in love with the romantic images.

Fashion Icon: Jackie O

Jenelle Dronkers — Thu, 21 Oct 2010 23:24:58 +0000

I am currently going through my closet and taking inventory of things I will eventually need to purchase to make this fall fashion season a success for myself. Getting dressed every morning is a funny thing. I absolutely loathe some days of going through my closet and on others I already have my complete outfit picked out and ready to go. People’s best works and efforts come from when they are feeling inspired. Maybe I am not inspired at 8am. This is a note to self to STRIKE while i am inspired and create that darling outfit before I lose all motivation by 8am the next morning. Noted.

I have already purged myself of things that no longer fit and as always I promised to come up with three outfits I can wear these future items with!!!! (Self talk to combat guilt– tips from Nina Garcia in The Little Black Book of Style).

Right now I am loving former first lady Jackie Kennedy. Well, I have always loved her since I wrote an amazing biography about her. She could be one strong woman and had a very important role during the Kennedy presidency. But onto fashion. Today I was at Forever 21 and found the most amazing delicate tweed pea coat that I proceeded to prance around in and ask my mom, “do i look like Jackie O??” She said to my surprise that I actually did and I bought that sucker.

Enjoy her beauty.

I might be wearing pearl earrings right now.

Fiance for a day..

Michaela Bammer — Thu, 30 Sep 2010 03:49:37 +0000

Apparently here at GIB we like to give you faux wedding AND engagement shoots. A few months ago Meg Sexton presented me with the opportunity to do an engagement shoot with event planner Trisha Dean. I was stoked for the photo shoot, all I had to do was find a fiance for the day. Immediately I thought of AJ, a long time face of Thriving Ink, and thankfully, he obliged. I would consider myself a stylish person, but AJ’s closet rivals mine, I knew he would help us achieve the perfect look.

The day of the shoot I arrived to a warm welcome from Trisha, Meg, and makeup artist Sandra. Trisha had created the most incredible vignettes that elevated the intimacy of the shoot to a believable level. I mean, come on, who else welcomes you on to a photo shoot with heart-shaped waffles! Since I had shot previously with Meg, here, I was more than comfortable being in front of her camera. We got the photos shortly after and I think the team created a beautiful end result. AJ and I have hopes of becoming faux bride and groom, so stay tuned!

How about cobalt?

Jenelle Dronkers — Thu, 30 Sep 2010 03:11:10 +0000

Today I bore Michaela to death by talking about how excited I was that Cobalt Blue is everywhere this fall! I think Cobalt Blue is a perfect punch of color to add to any outfit, even if it’s just on your fingers.
