This week I learned how to write in llama. How’s that for a week’s achievement! I also learned how to read in llama (naturally..  reading and writing do go hand in hand). Allow me to translate just in case it’s not completely clear…

Miles and I want to wish you all a very Happy Friday!

A big thanks to all of my friends that emailed this site to me and to Omiyage and Bekka Palmer for tweeting it over.

I’ve been overcome with the strongest urge to collect portrait paintings lately. Particularly original oil on canvas paintings. There’s just such an incredible quality to the way oil paints blend into each other and the texture they leave behind. I think when I have the funds (someday!) to start collecting original art, I just may have to add this stunning llama by Marion Rose to my walls. Aren’t the colors gorgeous?!

Happy Friday everyone! I hope you have some exciting weekend plans in the works. I’m going to be trying on wedding dresses for the first time!! Eeeeeeeek!!! YAY!

Today’s Friday I’m in Llama was sent over to me by the lovely and talented Spanish designer Adriana Bellet of Jeez Vanilla. Adriana is in the midst of planning her wedding and came across these wedding llamas by Evan Stremke. Lucky for me, she sent the link over and I was instantly smitten with these love llamas.

I have to say though, my favorite part of the email exchange between Adriana and I was becoming familiar with her work. For a while I have been admiring the work of Spanish designers. Spain is just bursting with talent! And Adriana is yet another example.

Those plates are my absolute favorite! Wow. Thank you so much Adriana for getting in touch and sending over this week’s Friday I’m In Llama! All the best to you and your wedding planning! Happy Friday Everyone!

This week’s Friday I’m In Llama is dedicated to my childhood BFF who just gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. I can’t wait to meet her mini-me!

Welcome to the world Skylar! I hope your first week was awesome. And Happy happy Friday to everyone else!

Question. Am I the only one that is totally annoyed that everything is in 3D these days? I remember thinking it was pretty awesome when I was a kid and my parents took my brothers and me to Disney Land to see Michael Jackson in Captain EO (in 3D). I swore I could grab the rainbow shooting off MJ’s shirt. But that was the 80′s. I just don’t get the comeback it’s making now and I really dislike the ill fitting glasses and the massive headache I walk out of the the theater with. It just doesn’t add much more than that to my movie going experience. But that’s just (grumpy) me. (ack! I realize I just went on a 3D rant.) But if you happen to love it enough to have your own pair of red cyan 3D glasses, than you’re going to love the 3D llama below. I guess if you can’t beat em’, join them. So behold … 3D llama!!

Awesome 3D lama photo found here. Happy Friday!!

Lately I’ve been digging around the internet in search of some great art to add to one of my latest Pinterest boards, “heART.” Looking around I stumbled upon this adorable print by artist Helena Garcia entitiled “Alpaca Pal.” I know, alpacas are not llamas, but I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again… close enough. How cute is this little Peruvian girl and her alpaca pal?! Adorable.

Happy Friday! Enjoy your weekend with your pals!

I don’t know who is more excited that today is Friday … me or this leaping llama? Either way, we’re both jazzed. YES!! It’s Friday!! You should see me leaping right now.

Happy Friday everyone! Go jump for joy!

I know lots of folks are celebrating Valentine’s Day this weekend, so I thought I would kick the weekend off right with a bit of llama love art. I think this is all kinds of adorable! How cute is it that these hands actually look like llamas? I just took a beak from typing to make this gesture with my hands. I’m slightly embarrassed by how amused I am.

Happy Valentine’s Day weekend and lots of llama hand kisses to all!

If you follow my new blog Miles to Style or my weekly posts over at Dog-Milk, then you know I’m a big fan of stylish animals. Yes, I recognize just how silly it can be, but it’s a harmless way of having fun with your pets and, personally, I derive a ton of pleasure having fun with my best friend and biz partner Miles. So, for obvious reasons, I’m completely nuts over Anthropologie’s well styled catalogue animals, particularly this lovely lady llama.

Stunning, right? I haven’t actually confirmed the she is in fact a she, but “she” can sure rock the three necklaces at once look.

Happy Friday everyone! Have a stylish weekend!

If you’ve been following the LAMA blog lately, you know I’m currently obsessing over fashion illustrations. I don’t know about you, but for me, one obsession generally leads to another, so now I’m obsessing over fashion photography! With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, I thought this sexy shot might help to get you inspired for this LOVEly holiday.

Happy Friday!
