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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Rebar Girl in Nashville-- for the love of nike

you can call me Rebar Girl!

March 14, 2014 by jennifermdarling

So I just got back from spending the weekend in Nashville. It’s a lovely place, but I’m not so sure I belong there. It’s the land of country music and cowboy boots. It seems that I should fit right in, being from Texas and all, but I can’t say that I do. Any place that has giant figures of Elvis up and down the street isn’t for me. As a child, I would burst into tears every time “The King” came […]

ringing in the new years with faux fur, rainbows, and star-shine

January 6, 2014 by jennifermdarling

New Year’s Eve is a great excuse to dress up in your fancy-smanshy clothes. I wore my new aluminum jewelry from the Art Institute in Chicago with my favorite black velvet dress. Throw in my long beaded gloves from Target and a faux fur hat from Canada and you’re ready to ring in the new year! But don’t forget the lipstick…super red Dior Addict Gloss will do the trick. Then top the outfit off with the Fashion Week Tokyo Sky […]

Little Red Riding Hoodie

November 26, 2013 by jennifermdarling

I got this hoodie a while back while I was in Portland. It’s an interesting piece to have in your closet. The bold colors and length make a statement indeed. At first thought, it’s great for workouts or a walk to the gym. But I wanted to take it a step further and turn it into street-wear. Here are the two ways I came up with. Which look do you prefer? I put these photos side by side because the […]
