{ Black Girl Magic All On Ya Walls}

Can we pause for a moment and discuss how glorious the representation of Black women in art--and well, anywhere--is?

Enter Oliver Gal. They serve up whimsical, colorful, feminine art that excites the senses and adds vibrancy to any interior! And I'm in love. So far, I've collected eight pieces, and I stay on the hunt for more! 

I'm over the moon for the partnership between the Oliver Gal and TJX companies. NTM, the pieces I've found while out and about, are at minimum, often 4-5x less than the art I've seen online. There are minor distinctions between some of them. I've gotten most of mine from everyone's faithful decor sourcing standby, HomeGoods.

This beaut was found for me by an acquaintance I met on IG. She's equally obsessed with all of this  #BlackGirlMagic!

You may remember her from here. I found this one at TJ Maxx.

What decor are you currently obsessing over?

Until we meet again,

Live Glamourously.

Artwork I "made"

I was having trouble finding glamourous black & white photos of Black women to hang in my bedroom, so one night I got a hold of an old Trace magazine (a gem for luxurious looking artsy photos!) and a paper cutter some guy was handing out to random folks in Adams Morgan one night almost two years ago. I couldn't begin to fathom what type of mischief I was in for! LOL. I went crazy with it, cutting out everything that caught my eye, including the beautiful photography above. I thought of the black & white frames, also seen above, that I had used to display a couple of my published magazine articles from a few years back in, and I immediately dislodged them from the frames, and voila, instant art! That very top frame was a different story though. It housed a piece of artwork, and it was HELL trying to manipulate it, as well as the matting, with the paper cutter, but what can I say...it looks pretty good for my novice efforts. I was rather impressed with myself and my creativity.
