To try and put into words what makes the pink-yellow color combo so good would only prove to be futile, so I’m just going to let the style and interior design images speak for themselves… Pretty nice, eh?
She Does Ethnic Rockabilly So Well
Boxing Kitten’s Fall 2012 Collection lookbook is here and Maya Lake has dressed us in cool shades of blues paired with small doses of warm orange all wrapped in that “ethnic rockabilly” style she does so well. My friends, this is proof that African print is not a trend, it’s a lifestyle. You like?
We’re Guests at Fashion Dolls Noir
Confession time… When it comes to blog friends and connecting with creatives, there’s nothing better than email. It’s true that our inboxes can get full very quickly, but somewhere between the notification that your phone bill is due and the real life friend who sends you an email instead of picking up the phone, is one from a fellow blogger who reaches out to ask you to participate in her blog. So you know I was grinning ear to ear when Jenna from Fashion Dolls Noir sent me an email to guest post today. I won’t say too much about it, but it’s fashionable (just in case you couldn’t figure that out already), with a dallop of color and a healthy serving of interior design. So if you can spare a few minutes go on over and tell Jenna I said, “Hi!”
Trust Your Photographer
I’m here to continue to sing the praises of Pinterest, where I have discovered so many new artists, blogs and individuals who continue to express their creativity in various forms and mediums, including fashion photographer Glenford Nunez. Based in Baltimore, many seek out Glenford’s expertise for portfolios and photography classes (I so wish I lived in Baltimore right now!). Here are a few images from his Coiffure Project, which features natural hair. Enjoy.

How I Do ► Gold iPhone Case
You’ve seen them… You’ve said I want one… And then you may have looked at the price and thought… but I’d rather eat this week. Well, no fear friends, I have the easy solution to getting your very own gold iPhone case a la Miansai and Incase. Here’s the do…
Purchase an inexpensive iPhone case (Amazon.com has great ones for less than two or three dollars) or use one of your old cases.
Have left-over metallic gold spray paint from a previous DIY project? Pull it out.
Spread out a small drop cloth or newspaper either outside or in a well-ventilated room.
Then get to spraying, and let dry. If another coat is in order make sure the first is completely dry before applying.
And then voila, you have a gold iPhone case without the dent in your wallet. There’s actually a ton of possibilities with this simple DIY, from chevron stripes to typography. You like?

Tumblr Facelift
Eclectic Select (aka Eclectic A on speed) has a new simple yet sleek look, but I’m still posting all kinds of style, decor, paper and art inspiration. Join me!
Arlenis
It’s official… the best fashion editorials come straight out of international publications. Of course, being that I am a huge Arlenis Sosa fan, any editorial featuring her is my current favorite, which means this Harper’s Bazaar Mexico feature is hitting all the right spots. And if you’re patterned-obsessed… enjoy.
