frida kahlo

Here’s a woman, Laura (see DevilsApricot on etsy) who does a series of portraits of Frida Kahlo in various garb and sells them as greeting cards.  Warning:  you may not want to look further if you’re offended when artists use icon-style imagery for non-religious subjects.

Okay, it’s decadent and unnecessary, but check out this Frida Kahlo onesie!  I just found it and added it to an old post on Frida’s headwrap styling.

I’ve been wearing my hair in a style similar to Frida’s here, braiding a wrap around the top.   In terms of being flattering, I’m not sure it’s perfect, but I do like it. While we’re looking at Frida, check out that Frida Kahlo onesie!  From Black Wagon, a store right here in Portland, Oregon.  Is that cool, or what???


I like the idea. Frida Fashions wants to help you become as stylish and cool as Frida Kahlo. They sell clothing and accessories; shop with them and you will be a Frida Kahlo lookalike. Frida Kahlo’s life and styleand her jewelry – were fascinating, definitely.

Nice post here, too, from the blog Brain Smatter, with good links to various Frida-ish pages.

An aside: several years ago, a friend of mine, a jeweler, gave me earrings inspired by a pair given by Picasso to Frida. They’re sterling silver, a pair of very realistic hands. When I first opened the package, it was kind of a shock, but I’ve become fond of them.

(the pic? a collage portraying Frida Kahlo, by someone called F. Lennox…or I think that’s the name…can’t find out for sure…if anyone knows, or if the artist wants me to take this off my site, just send me an email; thanks!)
