I have a major crush on Kate Spade right now. (I’m obsessed with the accessories – bows, hearts, & more bows!) And, I can’t get enough of the Fall ’13 line. I love the retro vibe and the clean punchy graphics. Plus, they make for great fashion illustrations!
Today’s illustration:
Kate Spade
Freaking donut sweater!? What’s not to love?? Basically, I want all of it.
Stay tuned for more from New York Fashion Week. <3 Thanks for viewing!
As promised, here is my gift guide for ladies. In case you already have the perfect gift – I also included less expensive items; shower her with lots of lovely trinkets! A lot of these are things I loved receiving… I hope she will too!
fresh sugar lip balm $ Sephora, L’Occitane hand cream $ Sephora, heart ring $$$$ Shopbop, locked in bangle $$ Kate Spade, heart studs $$ Shopbop or $ Kate Spade
I need to have lip balm and hand lotion in my bag. Fresh sugar is SPF15, all natural, and feels great. It is rated #1 again and again (for a good reason.) It’s nice to get these little things as gifts because I end up buying them repeatedly. V.Ng bought me these heart earrings last year and I love them so much. I wear them almost every day! They even say “be mine” – perfect for Valentine’s Day!
pretty coin purse $$$ Comme des Garcons, heart iphone cover $ DVF, gold arrow cuff bangle $$ Need Supply or $ Macy’s, pretty bevel ring $$ Shopbop
A girl can never go wrong with a good coin purse. Small accessories are risk-free items that are fun to give and receive. I like changing up my phone cover every now and then; she’ll probably love having something to constantly remind her of your feelings.
the mini Rider bag $$$ Shopbop, pretty gold bow necklace $$ Kate Spade or $$$ Shopbop, gold finish Gramercy watch $$$ Kate Spade, Dior lip polish $ Sephora
If you’re still looking for a big ticket item – try a pretty handbag or a classy watch. This bag is a great neutral color (perfect for spring) and it’s a classic shape that she can take from work to dinner.
I hope this helps you on your quest for the perfect gift(s)!! But, hold on to that receipt just in case. (;

Happy New Year, everyone! I’m so excited to welcome 2013 and whatever adventures it has in store. And, thanks to all my viewers; I can’t wait to share what lies ahead. <3
Winter is not holding anything back this year. It is frigid and windy. It gets so cold I start making excuses to stay home. When my BFF invited me to her place for a hangout and some hotpot, I couldn’t turn her down! My solution is to layer and bundle up!
Tomorrow my vacation begins! We have a full two weeks ahead of us including snowboarding in Lake Tahoe, shopping in San Francisco, wine tasting in Napa and lots of eating all over the Bay Area.
Before this, I didn’t have a bag to accomodate my computer and tablet. After days of surveying friends, mom and V.Ng I finally landed on this tote by MK. It was affordable, spacious and super light-weight. I can fit everything I need in it and avoid the hassle of lugging around two bags.
So here it is along with some other things I can’t live without (in illustration form, of course):
Today’s illustration:
knit jersey jacket (also here), black denim asos or ($$$ Amazon), chunky cowl knick sweater Express (or $$ bebe or $$$ Bluefly), pebbled leather bag Kate Spade (also here), suede ankle boots (also here),
I hate feeling frumpy when I run errands (especially on a dreary day like today.) Thankfully, my cozy sweater, black denim, and comfortable ankle boots come to the rescue! Nothing says comfort like jeans.
Okay – here’s the story with my black denim.
