COMPLETE RANDOMNESS

when on my search for either inspiration, motivation, research or just plain ole blog surfing i come across tons of pictures i love..i save them with no intention but to admire them and i find myself in a sea of folders with countless pictures i have downloaded..so with that said i will time to time unload all these pretty pictures and basically create a blog of randomness..the name saids it all..i will try to credit the pictures as best as possible but please if you see something incorrect or not given proper credit let me know..thanks.

WEEK IN PICTURES: SIGHT SEEING

today was a great day..hung out with my friend Amy whom i have not seen in ages..we went to China Town, craft store & an art studio with another special freind and we had such a great time..

i heart China Town although touristy there's allot of great little shops...some freinds of mine (whom i will be doing a blog post later) own the cutest craft, art and clothing boutique and i seriously had to hold back on not going over my budget in their shop...i bought a great shirt though

there is so many great places to go visit in this huge city..L.A. the following are my sight seeing shots taken in China Town and around..

paper umbrellas oh so pretty

love the Chinese paper lanterns

colorful pin wheels..they were spinning and i wanted to capture it but need to learn that function on the my camera

detailed buildings


landmarks..every record imaginable you can find here..

love the retro sign

one of the most famous signs

some more inspirational pics

love this shot..very clever..i think this is Cindy Crawford?

this week is just a great week im looking forward to..Thanksgiving at mom's..road trips to Vegas & Arizona..and exciting D.I.Y. blogs and more vintage posted on Etsy..

i'll leave you with this cute picture of Zooey Deschanel

WEEK IN PICTURES: MIRROR IMAGES

i love photos that have mirror images. reflection pics can have interesting twist and you can play around with the photograph...hours of creativity..here are a few i took this weekend walking around on Sunset in Hollywood...

i like how this has a reflection of the reflection..it goes for miles...

the following inspiration is amazing...so many talented people out there..

i have slacked off on the blog...i've been falling asleep on the couch once i put my daughter to bed..i come home from work and i'm exhausted..i have to force my self to stay up to work at night on bellavintage, the blog and the development of my own designs..it's what it takes if you want to be successful on your side ventures...i just have to keep reminding myself of that.

i LOVE all the vintage i'm working on posting this weekend..many flowery dress's, sweaters and jackets..can't wait!

what are your latest ventures? i love getting inspired and hearing others stories on what their working on.

WEEK IN PICTURES

happy Sunday all! i'm bummed it's Sunday night already..i had soooo much to do and i only made a dent in it. i found myself sleeping more then working on bella, but at least i enjoyed the weekend. great bbq with le boyfriend and spending time with my Zoe.

in previous post i mentioned how much i enjoy photography as a hobby and now that i have discovered ways to play with colors i am really enjoying tweaking the photos i take. i really want to take a class to get better at it, but no way do i have the time now with all that i am juggling. but i believe practice makes perfect and with online tutorials & all the advice out there you can definitely pick up allot and just have fun with it and let your creativity flourish!

Zo & i took a stroll in our neighborhood today and these are the images we captured..she took all the ones of me, she's quite good!

i love how the sun peeks in these...

Zo in play

i love landscape pics, trees fascinate me they have so much character and details on there skins..

this is my dream Victorian home..down the street from where i live..i'm in love with it!

this ones for Zo..squirrel!

i never tire of seeing the mountains, it's nice to see this outside of my window

here are a few landscape photo's i thought were quite beautiful from other photographers:

we ended our day with Zoe making brownies and eating them while watching the best cartoon ever Sponge Bob! she made a lovely mess on herself and was getting rid of the evidence...

love this one Zoe took of me, great job Zo!
