Jewelry by Rocquelle





I love my new necklace!! The front of it is cute with the pearl and chain combination. It's dressy enough to wear to work, but would also be cute with a cocktail dress. I also love the back, with the animal print ribbon. Just a touch of naughty and nice! Great combination... ;-).





This necklace was created by a Jewelry designer by the name of Rocquelle. Here is more about Rocquelle, her contact information and where you can see more about her and her jewelry line.

I am a 24 year old fashionista, stylist, closet auditor, crafty d.i.y.er (my made up word, lol) and philanthropist from Houston, TX. When I am not working in the fashion arena, you will find me in the schools as an Community Outreach Associate for Girl Scouts, or spending time with my family and my awesome Babe! After experimenting with creating jewelry and accessories from a variety of sources to rave reviews, I decided to turn my hobby into a business venture, Eclectically Feminine Jewelry and Accessories! I love all things feminine (I am very much a girly-girl) and lovely,especially pearls, which is evident in my eclectic yet feminine designs.

Rocquelle also creates custom pieces. So if you have something in mind, email her the details of what you want. You can read more about her at Eclectically Feminine or you can email her at eclecticallyfeminine@gmail.com.

Shoe Art



Wearable shoe art from the Loewe.
"Based in Spain, the House of Loewe has been around since 1846, but has not really been been part of the “it” accessory culture that seems to propel brands into the spotlight. However , with beautifully crafted footwear featuring a healthy dose of detail like these sandals, made under the creative direction of newly appointed Stuart Vevers they could be the next hottest …" - HighSnobette

Shingai Shoniwa


"Shoniwa grew up to a single mother from Zimbabwe in a South London public-housing estate. The experience, Shoniwa says, absolutely informs her music. “Wanting to escape from reality can inspire the greatest and most trivial creative natures in people,” and “I think escapism is something that connects all of us. Everybody has their own little soundtrack, and I guess I’m trying to make my own soundtrack to my escape plan. I want people to realize that there’s so much more.”
She first wanted to be an actress, and for a while joined the Lost Vagueness crew as a burlesque performer. She studied circus skills at a London youth club as a teenager. When she graduated, she attended art school and dabble in local theatre. Her classmate and friend, Dan Smith, would hold what she called "ridiculous jam sessions — too many people strumming broken guitars thinking they're Syd Barrett." One day she joined him singing, and the two quickly formed a group." - Source

Pangea's Garden - New Website



Nudity has always been a bit of a Taboo subject. But I have always appreciated it when shown in an artistic light. Pangaeas Garden Project blog, now has a new website called Pangaeas Garden. Check them out. The majority of the photos are beautiful and tastefully done.

Also let us know what you think, when it comes to this form or art? For me, coming from a artist background, where sketching live nude models is normal - it's not a big deal. But weigh in and give your opinion...

*Please note that the Pangaea's Garden blog and website contains artistic photographs of woman in slight nudity.
