It is no secret that every fashion blogger loves a good, vibrant, unique wall to pose in front of. The colorful walls in Norfolk, Virginia are no backgrounds though, they are full blown pieces of art in themselves!
I ventured down to the Neon District of Norfolk with my BFF when she was in town for a wall crawl and boy was I blow away. What’s a wall crawl? Where you take pics in front of cool walls #duh.
Just put Bob’s Gun Shop in your GPS and you will end up at this EPIC wall behind me in the photo above.
Around the corner you’ll find a sea of fishes swimming along. This mural is by Onie Tonie. He’s done a lot of sweet work in Virginia Beach too!
Although this is more of a fence than I wall, it was too hard to resist.
Leave it to my best friend to capture me being so “natural.”
This one made me feel very artsy. “Take a pic of my profile like theirs.” Lolz.
I can’t even express to you how close all of this is together too. I didn’t even work up an appetite walking (and I am always hungry).
The texture on this one was pretty cool…
…It makes my sweater look like camouflage!
These bees riding unicycles were definitely my favorite. At first a little creepy…
…but they grew on me. Do you like my impression of being a bee on a unicycle? Dead on.
Wall crawls are one of my new favorite things now! I am headed to Nashville this weekend for the Influence Network Conference and I don’t know if we’ll have time but I would LOVE to do another wall crawl because I hear they have some great walls there!
Do you know of cities with cool walls? Comment below, I am trying to make this a new bucket list item…”stand awkwardly in front of 100 cool walls.”
This is so cool! I had no idea Norfolk has such cool street art. Your “profile” picture turned out great!
Those walls are awesome! I love the first one!
Obsessed with all these falls! I would have so much fun shooting in front of all these.

I love that you called it a wall crawl. my city’s filled w/ the best wall art, I might have to do a spin-off! I’ll give credit where credit’s due girlfriend. keep it up! x, nicole // http://www.nicoleeigh.com
I totally agree with how you said these wall murals are more pieces of art than backgrounds. I felt the same way about murals I saw on my recent trip to St. Pete, FL.
These are so gorgeous! My favourite is the clouds one on Virginia Furniture, and the bees on unicycles, haha! I’ve never gone a wall crawl before, but now seems like a good time!
I want to visit Virginia now!! haha love that bee wall. Have fun in Nashville!

Wow those walls are gorgeous! It’s so funny friends and work and I were just looking at blogs with wall recommendations for photoshoots at work!
Oh my goodness, that wall mural is to die for! I love funky stuff like that around cities. I’m glad I found your blog. Have a great day.

Wow, those walls are so pretty! I’m not aware if we have anything like this in Montreal, but I’m definitely going to be hunting for them now! 😉
Your pics are too cute!! I’m always on the lookout for cool walls– then I typically get the eyeroll from the bf 😀
