We interrupt your regularly scheduled programming to bring you a GIF party. Sometimes inspiration strikes you in the form of a moving picture image and I thought I would share with you some of my favorites.
Glee has quickly become a quirky comedy that I like to watch when I have the time.

Hey guys,
we’re back!!! well, kinda sorta. i know that i said that we would back ummm, two weeks ago on the 9th but you cannot even begin to believe the technical difficulties that we have been through. Anyway, I don’t even want to get into it.
The point is that we are here with the 1st installment or rather the pilot episode of what will be many more to come. Enjoy!

Hey lovelies,
I am very happy to say that stylealchemy is officially two years old!!! Yay!! Instead of ushering in the terrible twos, we’ve decided that it’s time for a few changes to take effect.
The vision of this blog part has changed dramatically from the very first post in May 2007. As a result, there will be a brief hiatus from stylelachemy but we will be re-launching on June 9, 2009.
I look forward to these new changes and I think you guys will be pretty pleased also. Thanks again for all the readers and everyone who has passed through this little space in the interwebs….
mucho, mucho love!!!!
I don’t know about you but this winter kicked my ass!
Usually, I’m down for the cold, the layers, the inevitable hibernating and most importantly, the inspiration. There have been times when I get some of best ideas during the winter and I hatch them just in time for the spring.

Hey lovelies!!

When I was ten, I wanted to be a writer and would create little stories or plays and make everyone in my family act them out. I self-published my stories and directed mini-movies.
I thought that was pretty bad-ass but Solveig of Brighton is a 10 year-old graffiti artist who’s even tattooed someone. She paints at legal wasteland sites throughout Brighton.
Oh, and she’s part of a graffiti crew titled AGC, which stands for All- Girl Crew.
She’s totally got me beat. Keep it up, shorty!

Have you ever found yourself in this situation?
You’re going on living your life, things seem perfect.
You feel as if you’re on top of the world but there’s this nagging thought that won’t leave you alone.
At the back of your mind you just keep waiting for the shit to hit the fan??
I call it the waiting for the other shoe to drop syndrome and it can affect every aspect of your life. Sometimes, you don’t even need a real reason for this feeling but somehow it haunts you at different times.
Mostly, I’ve felt this is way in relationships with guys but I know other people who have felt that way in their friendships, relationships with their parents, work situations.
It’s almost as if you can’t believe that things will be continue to be great for the long run and as a result you’re constantly on the look-out for when things start to go sour.
This is a terrible way to view life. Since I’m such a strong believer in the idea that your thoughts create your reality; I’ve had to do a lot of soul-searching and reprogramming the way I view things so that I’m not caught in a pessimistic web of thoughts.
Of course, life isn’t always going to be sugary sweet and perfect but it doesn’t mean that we have to expect the worst.
The most important thing to remember is to be grateful and thankful for what you have and to enjoy all the moments that are strung together to make up your life.
Worrying about something will never change the outcome, all you’ve succeeded in doing is wasting precious time wrapped up in the thought of something bad happening. Instead use that energy for doing something positive.
What do you guys think?

Today’s style muse is straight from Cameron Crowe’s 1992 movie Singles.
Janet played by Bridget Fonda is a waitress in love with her loser boyfriend Cliff, played by Matt Dillon and she easily has the best style in the movie.
We’re talking quintessential early 90′s grunge with plenty of plaid, flannels shirts, flirty skirts, leather jackets and floral dresses.

Hey lovelies,
Things have been a little slow this week mostly due to the fact that I was shacked up on my sofa coughing my lungs out of my body.
Yea, it sounds as bad as it felt.
On the way to feeling better, so here’s a little inspiration.
♥ There are 3 Bobs that I love in this world.
Bob Marley, Bob Dylan and the Bill Murray movie, What about Bob?
Today is Bob Marley’s birthday. He would have been 64.
♥ This image from the lovely Garance Dore. This is how I want to dress everyday. The pop of yellow in that heel is so genius!
♥ I am officially obsessed with the British series, Skins! I know, I know, I’m a little late to the party but the point is that I showed up. I admit that I have a guilty pleasure when I watch Gossip Girl but Skins is on a whole ‘nother level.
I started watching it 2 weeks ago and finally used the excuse of feeling under the weather to lay back and finish off the first two seasons.
luv. it. lots.
♥ This saying:
♥ Regardless of what is going on in your life, try to remember:
We always have the ability to change the way we think and perceive the world which can affect our surroundings!
♥ Finally, this video which brings a smile to my face every time I watch it.

Around this time of year, it always happens like clock-work. I start getting tired of winter, of all the cold and the slushy ice and my mind drifts to spring and the thought of wearing outfits without having to be bundled up under a wool coat.
Spring dresses, sandals, frolicking in the grass without shoes. I also immediately associate spring with bright colors, patterns and a general sense of happiness.
Looking at Risto Bimbiloski’s Spring/Summer 2009 collection, I don’t get that same candy-colored neverland that I imagine. Instead the palette is neutral in black and white but that doesn’t stop me from wanting a few items.
I am in love with this knit dress and shrug!!!

Saw these images on foto_decadent and was completely inspired by all the dark clothes and these wedged shoes.
I used to have a pair of black, leather wedged boots similar to the ones in the 1st pic and I kind of miss them.
There’s something about the black, patent against that wooden heel that makes me really happy. Plus, the back on that dress is amaze. ing. That is all.

These illustrations from Daisy Fletcher are whimsical enough for me to think, “oh, how pretty” but with enough of a dark undertone to spark my curiosity.
