So, it’s June. And its time for a new resolution. This month, I’m going to resolve to post something on the blog every day. CRAZY, right? I’ll never do it…. but I’m going to try.
To make it easier to stick to it, I don’t think I’ll post fully finished sketches every day. Instead, I’m going to sketch someone I see on the street each day – quick and imperfect, just a feeling of a passerby.
It’s pouring rain in the city this morning, so I’m posting an outfit I remember from yesterday instead of going out in the deluge to find inspiration. I saw this outfit flit past me near Washington Square Park and thought it was lovely.
June has arrived, bird legs and all! Time to change your calendars!
It may not be the summer solstice yet, but the summer attitude has swept NYC in full force. Its time to sit beneath parasols and discerningly look down your nose at couples strolling down the sand. Oh how I love this season.

i think it was about this time last year that i sketched the little white dress that everyone loved so much. so I thought it was time for the 2012 edition. isn’t it funny how much changes in a year?
last year i packed away all my closed-toe pointy pumps for the season around memorial day, but this year i want to wear them straight through summer. particularly in mint green.
and i used to loath tapered hem lines and any kind of sheer fabric. but i’m starting to want a dress like this. if i can only find it. i swear, if i have one more empty handed shopping trip i’m going to start designing clothes. where do you all buy long dresses?
hope everyone has fun plans ahead for the long weekend. i’ll be packing up my new summer weekend bag (illustrated above) with a bikini, ten bottles of SPF 100 and heading straight to the beach.
ps. buy a print!
