Just thought I would share a few things I have been finding on Pinterest in the last little while. 

Stella seems to have a pension for florals & I am not complaining.

I might not wear the gloves but the rest of this look from Burberry is working for me. 

If you are not yet a fan of green a word of caution; that dress will seduce you.  

Carven is bringing some intense pattern to the table & people are eating it up.

The last one is to over indulge in your eye candy sensory. 

Happy Weekend!

Silver & Glass

So I was out hunting for treasures to add to my collection & came home with some lovely new pieces. I especially am fond of the little silver milk pitcher & the petite glass pitcher. I thought I would style it with some extra flowers from a small event this coming weekend. I will share some more of my finds later, but should have some new art to post before that.  

Louis Vuitton spring/summer 2012 Illustration

So as some of you may know Marc Jacob's spun pastel & cotton candy looks out of a carrousel at the Louis Vuitton s/s 2012 runway show. The oversized eyelet collars are what won me over at first, but the entire collection is very dreamy (sweet dreams I might add). I did this illustration of one of my favorite looks from the season and added the colour with gouache.

Magdalena Frackowiak in Sketchbook Series

The gorgeous Magdalena Frackowiak as seen in H&M done in ink as part of my ongoing Sketchbook Series . A project I started to practice my sketching skills. Each drawing is done with pen, no pencils or erasers allowed; that way lines must be more decisive because there is little room for error.

Nothing Gold Can Stay

Nature's first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold,
Her early leaf's a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.

VINTAGE SEWING SPOOLS

I was inspired by all of the interesting labels on some old thread spools found at my grampy's house. 

I especially like the green one (centre right).

Karlie in China

Here is a practice peace I painted from a photo of Karlie Kloss, in the latest September edition of Vogue. The editorial is a great shoot in all various locations across China. 

I am slowly getting used to Gouache Paint.

~ Have a great weekend ~

shorter days & summer haze

some lovely flora & fauna I found around my home.

The Silver dish is vintage & inherited from my great grandmother. 

Diane von Furstenberg spring/summer 2012

Jacquelyn Jablonski as seen in a look from Diane von Furstenberg's latest spring/summer collection. DVF had a great wearable catwalk show. A very strong & positive line to be viewed on sept. 11th 2011.

I also love how the hair was styled for this show. 

Birthday Flowers

Thought I would share an arrangement I made for my friends birthday.

Peonies happen to be one of my favorite flowers, how lucky that I have a local supplier with the most interesting varieties.
