Cropped the top of this 80s two piece set and cuffed the sleeve and short.
VOILA!
Extra cheesy tourist shots and vittles from here on out!
the beau.
Ignore the upper lip sweat i chose not to blend out and focus on the 2ND DAY CURLS! #devacut4life
I have never seen so many pelicans together...let alone all together in one tree.
Leaving the local fish market.
This vintage Coach bag has saved my life. Fits all the essentials TO INCLUDE my big ass Canon.
Made up for countless times i passed up ceviche over the past 29 years.
(the concept always held me back!!)
This trip to the islands...along with the tan...was everything I needed this winter.
Good meals, city views, and holiday cigars.
Old Town. New Wave.

Happy to say I was able to join my fellow makers for #makesmthng week 2017!
Green Peace teamed up with
Fashion Revolution to host events ALL OVER THE WORLD to celebrate the spirit of mindful consumption. I love this movement because it's not limited to clothes!
Bake a vegan cake, somehow fix an electronic doodad, or put a broken dish back together.
ALL are ways to reduce environmental waste and MAKE our possessions LAST!
As #upcycling and #reseaming define my blog, I decided to create a reusable version of something I toss out every single morning...cotton rounds.
BUT, that wasn't going to keep me from supporting a fellow #maker. I wore this
@auntgwen
"back rub" print crop top to brunch with the beau. I can't wait to pair it with a wool pleated skirt!
Check out her
website and original artwork...scooped the 6x6
"Joline" canvas for bday.
This has been on my
Pinterest board for almost a year now and coincidentally I'm down to 4 little pads this week...so fate here we are!
Cotton rounds are an everyday disposable product for me, and I'm starting rethink my use of items that end up in the garbage on a daily, weekly, monthly basis. So I decided to start HERE!
There's also a bit of "self" hidden in this diy. Reducing waste is important, but so is reducing our exposure to chemicals and pesticides which are heavily used in the production of non-organic cotton.
I did change my method and made terry cloth rounds. My Banana Republic tee was virtually PAPER THIN and was too hard to work with. I didn't see it holding up to my mascara and decided to scrap it.
I'm looking forward to making more of these babies and NEVER purchasing cotton round$ again.
Can't WAIT to host an event in Atlanta for next year's #makesmthngweek!
Seamingly yours,
J. Michael
