After a long (too long) break from colored pencils, I bought a fresh set of Prismacolor colored pencils about a year ago. The next task was to find the perfect picture to sketch, which was really difficult. I wanted to find something detailed that would be a fun challenge to sketch with vibrant colors. I immediately saved this photo I found on Instagram with sketching it out in mind.
Inspired by the pearl takeover that started last year (slides, sweaters, jeans, and bags) and feels like it's still going strong, this DIY pearl headband is super easy to make and harkens back to statement headbands a la Blair Waldorf circa 2009. Nearly 10 years later, headbands are my jam again, and the more blingy, the better. Lele Sadoughi offers a beautiful pearl headband, but if $150 isn't something that you can justify for a product that you could make yourself, you've come to the right place!

When it comes to art, I would say that 100% of the time, the way I imagine the piece turning out is not how it turns out. Although it sounds frustrating, it's actually one of my favorite things about creating something. It starts with an idea, and then the process takes you where it wants to take you- kind of like being in therapy. Art is a conversation, and you don't know where it will take you. This piece was of course no exception.

Inspired by the following French influences in my life as of late: a Phoenix concert and subsequently having their music on repeat all week, H recently finishing a podcast on the French Revolution (and telling me a ton about it), and following Paris Fashion Week highlights.
