vlog from my girl thursday

the ever darling thursday of my girl thursday posted a really interesting vlog this morning on tips for setting and achieving goals. i think this is a super helpful video and she has some very interesting views on the matter. i've noticed lately there's been a TON of goal and list making happening in the blogosphere and in my own life too! so i thought i'd continue to pass along her knowledge. enjoy!

 

maybe in the upcoming days, i'll post a couple of the lists i've been making and share them with you guys!

what goals have you been setting for yourself lately??? 

XOXO,
holly

(p.s did you peep the new banner??? isn't it cute! also, enter the latest giveaway here! )

window shopping; feeling fancy

i'm not going to lie, since i quit my job early last month, i am broke. broke. broke.
that's fine, it really doesn't bother me all that much. so what do i do when i have no money and still want to shop? what any other girl does!
browse the internet for pretty things and drool over them, then blog about it. everybody does that right???

i'm jumping on the band wagon and took a look at shopruche.com they've got some amazing pieces and i thought i'd show you guys some things i've been drooling over. here we go!!

 

how cute are those shoes! i want them so badly, though i wouldn't know where i would wear them. i don't really go any where fancy where i could wear heels. aaaand those glasses, i desperately need new glasses. i would love a pair like those! but maybe in a brownish red shade, i've done the straight black frames before, they make me look even more pale! if that's even possible, haha!

don't forget about the giveaway. thus far, no one has entered, so that gives you a much better chance! check it out over here!

hope your week is going well! i'll be working on the portrait of Adele a little later, so there will be another update on that soon!

painting progress vol. 1

hey guys!

so if you've been reading for even a minute...you'll have noticed i've been posting a good bit of my art. well i thought i'd start something new, something i really haven't done before. i'm going to post shots of my newest piece as i'm working on it. every time i sit down to work on it, i'll share a progress shot.

since i'm just starting this i'll start off with the reference photo i'm using. so you guys can see what its (hopefully) going to look like when i'm finished with it.

 

yup, i'm working on a portrait of adele. just for fun. i've been doing alot of really serious art recently and nothing for myself or just for fun. i've really been into her music of recent and i though i'd pay her homage by doing a portrait. 

so here's the first progress photo, it's not much. just a sketch but it'll give you an idea of how i start things off.

like i said, it's super rough and sketchy. but you get the idea. the more i do with it, the more i'll post.

what do you guys think of this idea? would you like to see more, do you have any interest in how i paint?

OH! and don't for get about the awesome giveaway we're hosting for a free copy of the 'my memories' digital scrap booking software!! check it out here!!! it's open til next friday! so tell everybody!!

XOXO,

i love pinups!

i've always had a thing for pinups. the classic ones, the new rockabilly ones and even the zombie ones! i think they're just so pretty and classy!!! drawing them has always been one of my favorite things. since i've recently got very into to doing digital work, i thought i'd try and paint a pinup, since i haven't done one in a while!!

hope you guys like it! i think she's really cute! and if any one is interested, i'll make it into a print. just email me @ order.and.chaosppittsburgh@gmail.com

hopefully, your weekend is going great! enjoy the holiday, i've a fun picnic with my friends tomorrow! kinda excited-good beer, good food, good friends! yay, cook outs!

XOXO,
holly
