The Sketch Book

Neimans Neon

Here is an updated look I created for the Neiman Marcus tumblr to celebrate the striking, electric colors of resort collections this year. I was excited they asked for a neon chartreuse dress – I love this color and wish it looked good on me. I think you have to be a tan blonde though for it to really work. I do want to overcome this stereotype though, maybe if I eased into it with some glowingly green bracelets or shoes…

mid winter LWD

It’s freezing in new york and we are lost somewhere in the middle of January. This means the end of chic for me. Winter has been here for weeks and appears to be here for the rest of eternity. I do not care if you think I look homeless wearing mens sweatpants over my jeans and clutching handwarmers. I just dont care. Get me inside.

So when I stumbled upon this refreshingly inspired way to wear a LWD (little white dress) I knew I had to sketch it. I feel warmer already just seeing this outfit. Spring will come after all.

In this sketch, Chiara of The Blonde Salad is wearing a multi-print Giambattista Valli jacket over a white lace dress and glowingly coral heels. I am going to meditate on this combination of springlike outfit elements until conditions improve.

Happy Weekend!

white/red

if i were a celebrity, i think i’d only ever wear white gowns to awards shows. the white looks so elegant against the red carpet. i like elle macpherson‘s crisp white look last night, who was your favorite?

snapshot

Hello! Just a little snapshot of details to brighten this blustery Friday. I love how fashion photographers are zooming in on delicate real life moments of fashion feng shui so I figured I should start illustrating in the same way.

I love that this is the kind of woman who wears driving gloves and fits all her worldly necessities into a periwinkle alligator skin clutch. I mean would sell my first child for a huge Celine bag but… to float down the street with a clutch in your perfectly manicured hand and a croissant in the other, that is a beautiful thing.
