Boy Meets Girl

How cute is this editorial? Yet at the same time it's not overly too girly pretty, I love the masculine touches to the outfits.

These are my takes on the Boy Meets Girl theme...

Thank you + a GIVEAWAY- Midcentury eyeglass case!!!

A few thanks. First another thank you to essie who delivered their beautiful fall collection to my door this past week. It is amazing. A mix of muddy but chic browns and mauves, next to the very brightest brights I've seen in a long time. Think my favorite is the navy..but not sure just yet? Thank you for always keeping me well polished.
For you essie fans out there- there is still some time to try out that summer collection while it's in stores- b/c pinks and reds are never out of style for this girl.

A second thanks today goes to you. We hit 400 followers on my little art blog. A space where I post the stylish little finds that inspire my work. Thank you for always supporting me. I have had a great time with this little - but growing blog.
As you know with every 100 followers comes a giveaway. This one is from Dear Golden- one of my favorite vintage stores on etsy. Just leave a comment below of what you like in her shop and the winner will be announced 9-4-09. xo

You know I love to mix old and new- so I'd put my new Mark Jacobs in this retro case! This case is a midcentury eyeglass & sunglass case! So sweet! Thanks Dear Golden!!

Delicate Things

I have a busy day in front of me after only 5hrs of sleep, lots of accounts to sort out, training someone to do the P&P for {luphia} while I'm away and packing again! This time only for two weeks, I'm off to China to see some distant family members and childhood friends...

I'm never good with busy days, I'd rather much spend my day around these delicate things.

Blogging will slightly be affected too as I'll be moving around quite a lot, but I've written some posts ready & my bf has kindly agreed to post them for me through Blogger. But posts will be shortened to 3 a week for the next two weeks...

j crew fashion illustration

I got the new jcrew today, and I was most inspired by something not sold in the store. I adore the styling of the socks.

Throughout the magazine heels are paired with neon ankle socks. I also caught a glimpse of nude ankle fishnets that inspired this illustration.

(If you are interested in these fashion illustrations, this one will be in the etsy shop today! Only $40 unframed, more if you'd like it framed... hope you enjoy!)
