Quick hello from Krissy: Hi guys! This post is brought to you by my good, and long-time friend, Manda of Break The Sky. Many thanks to her for succumbing to my demands for a guest post. ;) ♥
My love for Kurt Halsey started approximately five years ago, when one of my friends introduced me to his artwork. I’m not a huge fan of art in general, nor do I know much about artists or anything related to art. But there was something about Kurt’s work that spoke volumes to me; the themes in his work are ones that I can relate to constantly. I love his style and the simplicity of his sketches, how they are so simple yet are often about subjects regarding complex matters of the heart. Those who know me know that oftentimes my romantic life is a mess, and I think that’s part of the reason why I connect so well to Kurt’s work.

Painting… oh, so much painting. After I finish this class, if I never touch a paint brush ever again, it will be too soon. Gouache is the spawn of satan. (Okay, maybe that’s harsh. But I do not like it. At all.)
Planning… out the layout of my new apartment. Insert excited bounce here! You know you’re a designer when playing around with little furniture cut-outs is the most fun you’ve had in weeks.
Missing… my dad. He’s away for two months at Harvard (!) in Boston being a smarty pants.
Longing… oh, so desperately to see A Single Man. It seems that the movie universe is working against me, and the longer I have to wait to see it, the more I crave it.
Considering… dyeing my hair white blonde. So pretty. If I knew it wouldn’t destroy my hair and require very dedicated upkeep, I’d do it in an instant.

Artwork by Michelle Aramas
Because I’m very inspired by abstract paintings these days, and hers have such dreamy colour palettes.

I think it’s finally safe to say spring is in the air! I honestly was not expecting it to pop its head around the corner for a few more weeks yet, but we’ve already been basking in sunshine for about a week now. I think this might be the first ‘first day or spring’ in many years that it’s actually felt like spring. But there isn’t an ounce of snow in sight, and I’ve already dug my flats out from under by bed. I can’t wait to start wearing dresses comfortably again! I think what I’m most looking forward to about spring is being able to hop on my bicycle at any given time and explore the city.
As today is the official first day of spring (and since I was super busy with midterm presentations during actual Spring Colour Week) today seemed like an appropriate day to make up this post. As much as I love winter, I really enjoy all of the seasons (not a huge summer fan, but I deal) so there’s always something to look forward to with the passing of each into the next. And it’s so refreshing seeing all these bright, pastel colours of spring once again. They really bring a smile to my face. So onward to much colourful inspiration in the form of pink, chartreuse, robin’s egg blue, yellow, and purple!

The modeling world’s “12 brightest stars” gracing French magazine’s cover
Because rainbow has never looked better. Neither has anything else, to be perfectly honest.
