This past year has been extra special for so many reasons… it’s the year I quit my job and decided to pursue my dream of having my own business… it’s the year I opened my online shop, launched my collaboration with Casetify, participated in my first Renegade Craft Fair, illustrated over forty looks during NYFW, caught the attention of some of my favorite brands, hosted my first trunk show, celebrated my second wedding anniversary, launched my illustrated calendar… and the list keeps going!
Watching all the coverage of the Cannes film festival pop up on social media has definitely been the fashion highlight of my week… there were so many sparkly dresses! And I’m obsessed with these column gowns with full side skirts from Zuhair Murad. Petra and Chanel looked absolutely stunning in theirs while Karlie made an entrance in blue Oscar de la Renta. I never tire of sketching gorgeous gowns!
I hope you have a wonderful long weekend! Relax, rest up, and enjoy some sunshine =)

It’s finally here! We’re about to travel south to visit with family and friends for Christmas and I couldn’t be more ready for a break.

Safe travels for a happy holiday and I will be back in 2015 with new sketches, posts, and the big reveal. Thanks for staying with me! =)
