Shoesday Loves Fendi






I actually loved all of Fendi's show this year.
I am not always a die hard Fendi Fan, but this collection is doing a good job at winning me over.
I found all images on: http://www.vogue.co.uk/ & compiled the comparisons myself

More art for Monday

just a quick sketching in pencil & acrylic 

You should now all take the time to go listen to this:

I sailed a wild, wild sea
climbed up a tall, tall mountain
I met a old, old man
beneath a weeping willow tree
He said now if you got some questions
go and lay them at my feet
but my time here is brief
so you'll have to pick just three

And I said
What do you do with the pieces of a broken heart
and how can a man like me remain in the light
and if life is really as short as they say
then why is the night so long
and then the sun went down
and he sang for me this song

See I once was a young fool like you
afraid to do the things
that I knew I had to do
So I played an escapade just like you
I played an escapade just like you
I sailed a wild, wild sea
climbed up a tall, tall mountain
I met an old, old man
he sat beneath a sapling tree
He said now if you got some questions
go and lay them at my feet
but my time here is brief
so you'll have to pick just three

And I said
What do you do with the pieces of a broken heart
and how can a man like me remain in the light
and if life is really as short as they say
then why is the night so long
and then the sun went down
and he played for me this song

RUNNING LATE

The phrase "running late" is a bit ironic. If you had been running, you would not have been late.

Shoe Tuesday

because I can & because they are fabulous
I know the designer of these is uber famous; but for the life of me I can't recall who it is.

9 Lives

I recently had the displeasure of taking a good friend of mine's cat to the vet to be put down.
Ben the cat was very sick & neither my friend nor her husband could handle bringing her to the vet.
So this post is for my friend & her cat Ben whom is missed dearly.

FRIDAY FLOWERS

So Elizabeth Arden's new fragrance may or may not have the best/clever name in my opinion & I have no idea how it smells (as I am actually allergic to scents) I am however loving this bloom inspired magazine ad. 

Scientific Botanical illustrations have long bean a magnet to my eye. Not only beautiful, they have a certain sophisticated air; that may have to do with how neat & documentary-like they are.

If you are new to her site & work please take a moment to take a peek. 
Her witty & delightful illustrations are sublime!

New Art for Thursday

Sorry I am unfamiliar with this model & don't know her name.
(I promise to hunt it down & get it though)
I sketched this quickly with pencil. Then I inked it with a regular black pen.
I added colour with crayons (of all things) & then melted the wax with an iron. 
I added a bit more detail with a fine point sharpie after. 
(please note this was not computer edited)

B&W Prep ~ another Wedding Block Wednesday


A bit of posh class in Black & White with a touch of colour. 
How cool would bridesmaids look, in floor length sheath gowns with polo & popped collar?

SHOE TUESDAY : LEST WE FORGET MCQUEEN

Today for Shoe Tuesday:
 I decided to draw one of the epic heels from Alexanders Fall/Winter 2010 collection.
I never got a chance to post about Alexander McQueen this past Friday; which would have been the one year anniversary of his passing. You can read more about him here: http://oork.com/5e4s4
His death was a shocking blow to the fashion world & he will be missed.

LOVE!?

The word LOVE has been used & abused so much in the English language. 

It can be shallow, false, untrue, vulgar or ending.

It has been given, gifted, borrowed, bought & stolen.

Its sentiments have been tweeted, texted, posted, messaged, mailed, recorded, spelled-out & spoken

Through time the word LOVE may have been cheapened; but if were able to go to the one who created time would he be able to show us what LOVE really is?

But God commendeth his LOVE toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us (Romans 5:8)

For God so LOVED the world that he gave his only begotten Son; that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life. (John 3:16)

SHOE TUESDAY

Today I am wearing my Bean boots from L.L. Bean.
second ones on left.
because the snow is still falling & is well over my knees.
I am going for a late night stroll to see if I can't get any good pictures of the beautiful winter wonderland I call home.

Wedding Blocks Wednesday

The mysterious beauty of the wood has long held my affection.
Say "I do" to Nuptials in a forest surrounded by the enchanting wild beauty of the tall trees & thick carpeted ground. Can you hear the babbling or the brook & the Birds singing their song?
