wall art is quite fancy too.

Hi everybody! I apologise for the lack of interesting postings this past week. I just flew to New York for business purposes & I am due to return home shortly. I was meaning to write last week so these photos were saved until now. My winter term for school had started as well and there are quite a lot of reading & paper assignments required therefore I have been spending some time away from my computer.

^ Gosh I love to read. It's my favourite pleasure when I am alone, and I especially don't mind it when there are a lot to read for school. I'm taking English & Vintage Literature and Advanced Medical Terms for Nursing. My course just requires a lot of memorizing but quite honestly it's not much of a bother as long as I am interested in my courses. Do you like my green shag rug by the way? It's the only thing that is keeping my feet warm under my cold wooden floors.


I wanted to share with you a beautiful work of art I was honoured to receive on my 23rd birthday by Mr. Boss.

He began collecting the artist for a long time & introduced me to some of her works. I'm not a fan of 'low brow' art, but her style is not morbid or grotesque like most of the low brow artists, it's rather more romantic and exotic yet with a twist of mystery within all her works of art. I couldn't believe I was given my favourite work of art I had noticed on her website.

^ Here is a close up of the face of the art. I forgot what the art was called, but she said she was inspired by Queen Elizabeth for this particular one. To me it reminds me of Marie Antoinette.

^ Notice the details on the work of art, so elegant with many fine details. I immediately fell in love when I saw it online. & I actually believe those are croissants in her hair.

The reason why I fell in love with this particular piece is the elaborate hair the artist gave her & the use of the dark colours. It just really reminds me of Marie Antoinette and if many of you know me, I am dearly in love with Marie Antoinette's history, her gluttony, & her overly fancy dresses she often wore & the dark colours just matched so well with her deadly sins. Plus she enjoyed cake!


Have you noticed my favourite colour is green? I even painted my walls green just because I loved it so much!

^ I added these wall art deco stickers that I found from Target years ago. My room was looking so boring with plain green walls and the pink & brown flowers gave a bit touch of nature since I adore the country very much.

Anyway, I should take a stroll out tonight & visit the local cafe down town & take a look at the Christmas lights that are still up. It snowed yesterday evening you know.
