Modern Basquiat?!

So I'm driving through Santa Monica in traffic yesterday and I see out of the corner of my eye, an never ending room full of crowns! So I instantly pull over to see what it is, naturally. This artwork is amazing I just can't handle the abstract-ness of it. 
So I meet the artist, his names Mark Andrew Allen.

(Allen's Work Above)
His art reminds me so much of one of my favorite artists of the 60s, Andy Warhol's buddy  Jean Michel Basquiat.
Even the crown is like a modern version of Basquiat's signature symbol.

Latest Obsessions:


Who doesn't love sparkles? This sparkly white top is one of my favorite new pieces. 
Perfect for spring: wear light colors and light fabrics.
The "liquid legging".
Ah yes, even though the weather's getting warmer leather is still a possibility.
These high-waisted vintage leather shorts go with anything.
And at last, for those of you who know me, you know that I wear these black booties at least once a week. 
i love them.

SHOPPING HINT: yes we are in a recession. yes everyone is broke. but YES you can still buy clothes. i do. check out flea markets (i'll go more into depth in a later post), vintage, and resale stores.
That's literally where I buy everything.
