It's so nice to be naughty!

Garrott Exposed: Ceres Gallery Exhibition

As part of a group show at Ceres Gallery in Chelsea New York I will be exhibiting 13 paintings. These works combine fashion illustration with fine art

Getting into a “Grove”: Acrylic Techniques at Play

I've been pretty fascinated with the work of David Grove and Bernie Fuchs for quite some time now. Back in art school I coveted my issue of "Illustration #15" flipping through it's vibrant pages

Shop Dirty to Me: East Village NYC

September in New York is such a great time of year, Fashion Week and Fashion's Night Out is on, it's finally cooled off and you can enjoy walking around without much fuss.

Fashion’s Night Out NYC 2012

What do fashion designers do on fashion's night out? Welp, I'd rather shop sample sales than fight my way through a FNO crowd at Barneys. And to be perfectly honest with you

Doodles and Cupcakes!

Since it's my birthday, I'd like to take a moment to honor this little confection. Please allow me to indulge myself while I share with you my favorite cupcake doodles and places in New York.

Pop-Up Pop-Culture: Crazy4Cult

Being a kid in the 80's was totally Rad! I mean, I had Spuds McKenzie high-tops (back when they could market cigarettes and alcohol to kids), light up Jem earrings, and a Punky Brewster

Leather Trend 101: The Cropped Jacket

Who doesn't want a little leather jacket or vest to spice things up a bit? Soooooo trending for fall, but you can wear it all year round with the Garrott collection. "The Orator"

Trending Forward: The Leather Peplum

Leather is on trend for fall in a HUGE way. See how Olivia Palermo styles a leather peplum. Garrott is right on trend with a lady like leather and wool crepe peplum skirt.

Sketching Game of Thrones: True Romance

I'm not a big TV person, but when I latch onto a great show I get oh, so excited. The last time I was this stoked was "Who wants to Marry a Millionaire" but things have changed since

Shopping Williamsburg: Street Style and Pretty Little Things

With a lovely, long holiday weekend what else would you wanna do but sit on a roof top sipping mimosas with friends and shopping for pretty little things. Williamsburg!

“The Future Perfect”: A Brooklyn Photo Walk

It's spring! and you know what that means!? Time to crawl out of the dark hole you been in and find beauty in the world again. Such a lovely long holiday weekend I took myself to Williamsburg

Designing Your Creative Living Space: Part 2

When last we spoke in part 1 , I discussed color and living up your life with it. I hope yall went and got some paint chips and played with some crazy ideas.

Designing Your Creative Living Space: Part 1

I’m a big fan of peeping in windows as I drive down streets to see how people live. What colors are the walls? What things do they surround themselves with?

Transcending Transit

There is nothing I hate more than being bored. Holiday traveling always means an excruciating amount of waiting in line, in terminals, in planes, utterly uninspired, to say the least.
