Playing with Dye and Bleach

I have been messing around with dye and bleach and I think I might have the dip dye/ombre down...... I have made a few shirts but I still have a long way to go!!! I took a floral thermal and dyed the bottom blue and the top pink and I think it came out pretty cool..... The Snoop Dog (TrueBlood) shirt was twisted and sprayed with bleach to create that pattern on the fabric.......

King Louie - My Hoes They Do Drugs Ft. Juicy J & Pusha T!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I am a huge hiphop fan and I think I have a new music crush...... King Louie is a Chicago rapper and he is known for his honest and rugged delivery. King Louie recieved a shout out from K.West in the remix of I Don't Like and that has helped him to build a  even larger fan base. Currently I have been listening to his mixtape Drilluminati and I really like the songs My Hoes They Do Drug and My Niggaz...... this is not your average radio bullshit but some real honest grimey stuff so be ready......
Listen for yourself!!!!








Pusha T - Trust You ft. Kevin Gates (Wrath of Caine)


I am in love with Pusha T's new mixtape Wrath of Caine..... Right now my fav song is Trust You!!!! Pusha T is def one of my top 15 best rappers that are alive and I think everyone needs to download his new mixtape from Livemixtapes.com or Datpiff.com.........

Check out the song........

Elizabeth and James First Look!

Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen have really mastered their craft and keep taking their Elizabeth and James clothing line to the next level. I love the mix of their personal style, current trends, and fashion forward ideas that they mix together to create their collection. I really like the mix of prints and textured jackets with solid dress down pieces. Here are a few pics from the collection and Nylon article.....

Ombre Sweatshirt DIY

Soooooo we have been getting a lot of dip dyed and ombre inspired sweatshirts and hoodies at work. When I see this stuff at work I always feel like I can do this at home...... Soooo here is my first try at Ombre! I soaked the bottom portion of the sweatshirt in the dye for about 45 min and the color slowly moved up the fabric. Next time I know to leave it in longer to make it darker and allow the color to transfer up the sweatshirt more! What do you think???? I also did a old Madonna shirt...... Any thoughts????? My next project is silk printing and bleaching..... After that my own custom shirts!!!!
