Color of the Year

August 17, 2016 by jennifermdarling

Every year Pantone picks a color that encapsulates what’s going on in our culture at the moment. Don’t you love the idea of of condensing modern time and mood into a hue? For 2016, Pantone identified 2 colors that represented the our current state: Rose Quartz and Serenity. “Rose Quartz is a persuasive yet gentle tone that conveys compassion and a sense of composure. Serenity is weightless and airy, like the expanse of the blue sky above us, bringing feelings of respite and relaxation […]

Origami for Giants

January 19, 2016 by jennifermdarling

As I’ve mentioned before, I’ve been etsy-ing it up lately. I’m proud to say that Jennifer’s Mondo Village of Greatness is now offering custom origami hangings and mobiles. The photos below are of a piece I made for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation’s annual gala in New York. It’s over 7ft. tall and 12 ft. wide. Take a closer look here. Buy a bundle of shapes for yourself here. Turn them into a mobile or garland on your own. Or you can use them […]

Devils Backbone

November 9, 2015 by jennifermdarling

Devil’s Backbone Nature Trail near Loveland, Colorado is quite the sight. The protruding rocks poking their jagged edges along the hillside tell an old story that only geology is able to share. It doesn’t look too shabby dressed in fall, does it?!

what to pack on a road trip / for the love of nike

road trip essentials

October 23, 2014 by jennifermdarling

I would post Montana pictures everyday if I could. Here are a few more snap shots from my trip. I thought I’d share a few of the travel hacks I’ve picked up over the years. The idea is to pack as light and smart as possible. Keep it simple and only bring along necessary items. Think about it, when you take a trip– what’s important to you? my travel essentials: a comfy pair of sneakers that are good for lots […]

Yellowstone National Park / for the love of nike

stones of yellow and steamy sneakers

October 15, 2014 by jennifermdarling

Yellowstone is one of the oldest national parks in the world. President Ulysses S. Grant signed it into law in 1872. The park stretches across Montana, Wyoming, and Idaho, with scattered geothermic features spread across the land. Old Faithful, the most famous of the attractions, is a geyser that erupts every 91 minutes. I have to say that my favorite site in the park is The Grand Prismatic Spring, which is appropriately named. It’s the 3rd largest hot spring in the world, […]

Dallas Museum of Art / For the Love of Nike

kickin’ around The Dallas Museum of Art

September 24, 2014 by jennifermdarling

The Dallas Museum of Art has been around since 1903. That was a long time ago! It started off as a room, founded by The Art Committee of the Public Library. Show after show, the organization pushed forward and expanded. The collection continued to grow until it became what it is today. You know me, sneakers and art are paramount, so exploring an art museum in a new set of kicks is one of my favorite activities. I love seeing […]

oh the terrifying and the extraordinary flying through the sky kinda fun!

June 26, 2014 by jennifermdarling

Well lookout for the craziest zipline/obstacle course ever, smack dab in the middle of Outer Banks in North Carolina. From shimmying across ropes, to jumping from one barrel to another, to kayaking in the air, endurance and strength is put to the ultimate test. It was excruciatingly fun and terrifying, and I’d do it again in a heartbeat. what I wore: Nike Roshe Runs from the Gradient Pack, a Nike logo Tee, Gap leggings from the Gap Fit line, and […]

googly for Guggenheim

May 12, 2014 by jennifermdarling

I’m always looking for a connection between art and fashion. It gives the statement of your outfit purpose. The Italian Futurism collection at the Guggenheim was the perfect place to merge my love for art and shoes of the sneaker variety. Futurism was a movement in Italy in the early 20th century. Concepts of the future, speed, youth, technology, and violence were glorified. In hopes of portraying the recent changes in society, forceful lines and conflicts of planes are typical of […]

abstract thinking to get you through the Monday blues

March 31, 2014 by jennifermdarling

Well friends, it’s Monday again. The skies are grey and my spirit is blue. Drawing is usually a good way to alleviate my tension. Here are a few abstract sneaker illustrations I doodled with Prismacolors. It’s cool to see my favorite shoes made up of nothing more than triangles. Anyways, triangles are huge right now. Isn’t it funny that a shape can be trending? All the different styles and sizes… Right, Isosceles, Equilateral, Scalene, Obtuse, etc… Oh well. Whatever […]
