Eric Roberson: Mister Nice Guy

If you have an appreciation for delicately-crafted soul music, then you will love independent artist, Eric Roberson aka ERRO! He always delivers great music and I cant wait to listen to his new album, "Mister Nice Guy", I just purchased five minutes ago.  I've never been disappointed in any of his eight albums.  "Still", a single from his last album, was Grammy-nominated and you will absolutely see why after checking out this video.  Please support this musical genius!

This evening while I was on my way out the door, I was quickly distracted when I saw a package sent from my lovely sister. There's almost nothing better than opening your front door to find a package just for you.....even if you sent it to yourself, lol.  It just makes you feel so warm and fuzzy inside. Anyways, I opened the package to find this BEAUTIFUL artwork created by Andrea Pippins (check out her bio here).

My sister introduced me to her artwork last year and I never got around to making any purchases.  I absolutely love the simplicity of the design and the vivid color scheme incorporated with African print .  Of course, the hairstyle speaks volume and serves as the focal point of the design. It is reminiscent of natural hairstyles from the past and present.  Check out her online shop at www.ilovemyhair.com .

Contemporary Furniture for Your Feet: Its All About Finsk!!

Lately, I have been attracted to shoes that have a more edgy and architectural appeal.  That's why I absolutely adore Finsk created by London based designer Julia Lundsten.  She seemingly created contemporary furniture for your feet! Im curious to know how comfortable they are.  ASOS sells the less dramatic styles and the styles seen above (which I might say are a little pricey) are sold on Solestruck.com.  So for now, I'll have to stick with my Jeffrey Campbells, but Im totally adoring these shoes from afar.

One of my many loves include interior design and furniture.  So of course, I couldn't help but notice the striking similarities between the shoes above and the beautiful designer chairs below.  Both exemplify well-crafted styles that are rarely seen in your local shopping malls.  Its obvious great thought and time was invested into a creation only meant to support the less glamourous parts of our bodies....our feet and bums!  Yet both styles are eye-catching, they don't appear to be very comfortable.  They seem to serve as a piece of artwork that should sit in a corner to never be touched by human flesh :)  To say the least, I love the originality and artistic detail...
