Bayou City Art Festival

TODAY through Sunday! is Houston's infamous Bayou City Art Festival ... this year I probably wont make it but last year we had a great time walking through downtown and seeing all the great artists. all different type of mediums, oil, wood, metal sculpture, furniture, jewelry etc... , from little pieces to much much larger pieces, you should be able to find something that suits you, if not its nice just to get out into the world and take in some culture. Not just for adults there are art stations set up in a part of downtown for kids, its a very fun event!


Click on the Event artist and it will take you to Bayoucityartfestival.com for more info on this weekend!

MISTI STYLE


I had the chance to meet up with Misti today at her AMAZING STUDIO SPACE
!!! here are a few pictures I took of her fantastic downtown Houston view!

                                      
SOoo there is a happy little venture that im taking with Misit Pace-Krahl; I will be helping with some of her events that she holds ..one coming soon, of a Dallas based designer..Stay tuned my loveys.

The heads outside of their studio are from the creator of the 'Big Sam" (the statue on the way to sam houston) his name is David Adicks. 
Brief Bio of this 86 year old man... just because he is interesting.

After graduating from Sam Houston State University with degrees in both math and physics in 1948, Adickes went to the Kansas City Art Institute. He studied painting there, and then went to Paris where he studied art for two years.




He returned briefly to Houston in 1951, but was soon off to Paris, Barcelona and Tahiti. Returning to his native land, Adickes taught art at the University of Texas in Austin.
In 1957, he lived for a year in Japan and then traveled extensively over the next 10 years in the Far East, Mid East, Europe, Russia and North Africa. 
His oils and sculptures are displayed in ten major art museums across America and in many countries, as well as private collections.

Cheaper Whitening Solution?!

I thought this was interesting, haven't gotten to try it yet


7. Brighten Your Smile
Mix your own whitener
Brushing with a paste made of baking soda and water a few times a month removes superficial staining and whitens teeth by a shade or two. "The graininess neutralizes stains and polishes teeth but isn't abrasive enough to wear down your enamel," says Jennifer Jablow, DDS, a cosmetic dentist in New York City.
Keep teeth whiter, longer
To sidestep stains when drinking red wine, chase your vino with a handful of crunchy raw vegetables. They have a brushing action that can rub away newly setting stains
Choose the right lipstick shade
"Colors with blue undertones make teeth appear brighter," explains Liebeskind. To figure out which of your lipsticks fit the bill, she recommends lining up three or four shades—in comparison to each other, it will be more obvious which are blue-based and which have yellow or gold undertones that bring out the yellow in teeth.

I wouldn't lie to you...this is my first rodeo

As I try to make this blog a little more pro looking and a bit more involved.. I spend hours upon hours looking for the right layout.. something simple, yet will still catch you're eye and intrigue you to read more. I came across what all you bloggers probably already know about.. shopsense.com.... i adore it and will be using it more often; its so simple to use but has a great layout.. this makes blogging even more enticing!




Missoni and Pucci have the best prints! I love this little dress, Chanel Straw bag and im finally joining the gladiator sandal trend for summer!
