feathers and leathers

I love to add some juxtaposition to many of my looks. Today I went with mixing hard-core leather with the softness of a grey maxi shirt and feather earrings. I like the toughness that is expressed by the leather jacket but the skirt and feathers bring the look into a more feminine and soft feel. 

I have been able to wear this skirt so many different ways so. It's been used as a skirt, dress, cover up, and who knows what's next. Today it adds just the right amount of "feminine boho" to an edgier jacket. 

What's your favorite juxtaposed look to mix together?

a simple sweet treat

Sugar cookie wrapped Oreo, a new favorite of mine. They are almost too simple to make. Here's how you can enjoy them yourself: 

What you need: 

1. sugar cookie dough 

2. Oreo cookies 

3. Cookie sheet 

4. Oven 

Step 1: With a thin layer, wrap the Oreo cookie with the sugar cookie dough. 

Step 2: Place each wrapped cookie 1" apart from each other.

Step 3: Back in oven at 350 degrees for 8 minutes.  

Step 4: Let cool for 2 minutes. 

Step 5: Enjoy the delicious treat melt in your mouth.

 

an informal introduction

My name is Ben Biondo. I am Stephanie's boyfriend,  and the lucky man behind the lens. 

I like grey, black, white and stone colors. I like things simple, clear and conceptual. Black and White photographs, modern graphic design and nice clothing are things I enjoy.

This is a collection of home, design and other things I have found that I appreciate and describe who I am. 

(Steph allowed me to create this post and that is why it is formatted a bit differently)
