AK Studio | Behind the Scenes of Alexandra Kaehler Design

One more post about art and then I promise I’ll take a break… Yesterday I talked about some special pieces of art that were in my family. This weekend we added some more.

These little carter kustera knock offs were our (me and my sisters) Hanukkah present to my mom. Our cousin is an incredible artist and we recruited her to do these for us. We have little oxy morons written underneath our names and the sweet little silhouettes above. I wish I had taken better pictures, but I wanted to share because I think they are just too cute!

If you are interested in commissioning some of these silhouettes, let me know and I’ll give you the artists contact info, she is beyond talented (and these are a fraction of the price).

For those of you who know me, they know that I am VERY upset that I was not chosen as the sister in pink. Apparently we all sent secret texts to my cousin requesting to be pink, so the middle sister was awarded that color since it looks best in the center.

I love shopbop just as much as any other girl, but some of the things they post make me laugh out loud. So a couple months ago I left a link to one particularly hideous item on my friend’s Facebook wall suggesting that she buy that item (obviously kidding). She replied with a link to another awful piece on my wall. This little war has continued over the past couple months. Whenever we are bored, or see something horrible on ShopBop, we leave it for eachother. Apparently, we are entertaining way more people than just ourselves because when I mentioned to some people last night that I was going to do a post on “ShopBop Wars” they knew exactly what I was talking about. So here it is, a little taste of the battle:

This stuff is just ridiculous. And the price tags on some of it are an absolute joke. Those bell bottoms were $1400, before they sold out (SOLD OUT).

The best part… every once in a while there will be an item that we post and one of our friends will actually like it. Apparently the ShopBop buyers know what they are doing, because someone out there likes this stuff.
