Hello, everyone!
I’m finally on the vacation I desperately needed!! The sad news is: wifi costs an arm and a leg – so I hope this little sketch holds you over until I get back.
Please don’t forget about me!
I’ll be back bright and early this Thursday with lots (of sketches and stories) to share!
Thanks so much for viewing!
I’m desperate for the weather to heat up because I recently got an adorable tunic featuring one of my favorite trends: floral on stripes! (Sadly, my dress is currently out of stock; here’s something similar from Juicy Couture.) I’ve rounded up some other adorable stripe/floral styles for today’s fashion sketches. Hope you love it!
Today’s Illustration:
sweatshirt $ asos, classic printed button down $ urban outfitters, rash guard $$ J.Crew, bodycon dress $ Dillard’s
I really love the mix of bold graphic stripes and soft easy florals (and, I’m not a floral kind of girl.) They’re fun, kind of retro, yet sort of modern too! I love UO’s soft and vintage take, or asos offers a subtle casual version. However my all time favorite style is bold and colorful on neutral… a la J.Crew.
Packing away winter clothes and rediscovering summer pieces is one of my favorite things. I love re-evaluating my wardrobe and deciding what to keep or donate. But, being on a budget makes it hard to put together the perfect Spring closet. Alterations are an affordable and easy way to get something new.
Today’s Fashion Illustration:
Yesstyle.com (altered) or $$ asos and $$$ Shopbop
More than I should, I buy things that don’t fit with the intention of altering them. But, it’s hard to find the time or motivation to actually sit at my sewing machine.
This Spring, I piled up skirts that are too long, jackets with sleeves that are too long, and pants that need hemming with the intention of getting them into circulation.
Happy Monday, everybody! I hope you all had a great Easter weekend. (If you’re into that stuff.) Anyhow, I’m back from South Jersey with a new fashion illustration and a bit about the Borgata in Atlantic City; thanks for viewing!
Today’s Illustration:
bold striped blouse $ Forever21, ponte mini $ Bloomingdale’s, suede lace up bootie $$ Lord & Taylor, crocodile clutch $$$ Alexander Wang or $ Target
Last weekend VNg and I went to AC with two sets of couple friends. (Yay, triple date weekend!) Our friends had a deal at Borgata so that’s where we stayed and played. Generally, I’m not a huge fan because I ALWAYS lose… and I can’t stand smelling like smoke after. But, dinner at Bobby Flay’s restaurant was well worth it!
Hello, again!! Today’s fashion illustrations are of my favorite purchases from Seoul! (I didn’t really buy much in Hong Kong, believe it or not.)
dot scarf J.Crew, drape cardigan sweater Bebe, sweatshirt skirt Alexander Wang
vertical stripes Club Monaco, color-block Club Monaco, faux leather sleeve tee Pacific Sunwear, snake effect ballet flats the Outnet
French sailor’s shirt LL Bean, neon pop boatneck tee J.Crew Factory, patterned flats Shopbop, embellished sweatshirt Net-A-Porter
Sorry for the delay on updates. I could hardly lift a finger after I got back from Asia; I was hit with a cold, the time difference, and good-old fashioned exhaustion! Now things are back to normal and I will be updating regularly again. Hopefully you stayed with me. (;
