images of thoughts refined

O Solitude! if I must with thee dwell,
Let it not be among the jumbled heap
Of murky buildings: climb with me the steep,—
Nature’s observatory—whence the dell,
In flowery slopes, its river’s crystal swell,
May seem a span; let me thy vigils keep
‘Mongst boughs pavilioned, where the deer’s swift leap
Startles the wild bee from the foxglove bell.
But though I’ll gladly trace these scenes with thee,
Yet the sweet converse of an innocent mind,
Whose words are images of thoughts refined,
Is my soul’s pleasure; and it sure must be
Almost the highest bliss of human-kind,
When to thy haunts two kindred spirits flee.

John Keats

Loving the jewelry in this photo! Comes from a collaboration between model Joni Harbeck and Photographer Neil Krug.  I am currently working on a ring that happens to look very similar so I had to share! See more from the PulpArtBook here.

As if listening to Charlie Parker non stop and almost finishing my new online shop was not enough… My good friend Riccardo aka. the original conquistador just sent me this photo of a new painting ” the Conquistador” he did for me.  I had to share as I am in love!  We are working on a new site for him to showcase all of his beautiful artwork and clothing designs.  I feel very lucky to have such talented people in my life.  Keeps me going and inspired for sure! xo

* Tracy is wearing one of Riccardo’s beautiful dresses.  He had also designed the dress I wore for the Atelier KKD holiday show we had this past december.  So beautiful I can’t wait to see what new pieces he is working on!
