My girl in leopard Moschino Cheap & Chic is one of the editors’ picks in the September issue of Elle Mexico. So nice, thank you Laura!
Come on, Vogue (Girl)
August 31st, 2010
So excited to finally be able to share this illustration (and a bit of hand lettering) I did for Vogue Girl Korea‘s September issue. It’s a four page article about this season’s it-bags, drawn with the matching runway looks. Not gonna lie, I’m majorly team Vuitton on this one. How about you?
One of the first things I ever posted on this blog was a load of super cute Vogue Girl Korea editorials, so needless to say I’m psyched to get my copy in the mail.
Close-ups below, because you know how much I like small details that no-one can ever make out with the naked eye. Yes, that’s teeny-tiny stitching on the Miu Miu bag!
This is the first sketch, before the Marc look got switched out for Miu Miu.
And the early line work.

So hung up on Aya Brackett’s photos and her impeccable colours, gorgeous light and artful arrangements of objects. I read that she does most of her own food styling, which is probably why the composition looks so perfectly natural.

Under the hammer
August 28th, 2010
I won’t beat around the bush, I’m selling a load of stuff here on ebay so do have a look! At the end of every season, I always feel the urge to get rid of everything I own and start anew, so there’ll be more to come.
I’ve also had a few requests for ebay tips, so I’m putting together a post to spill all my saucy selling secrets. Is there anything in particular you guys would like to know? Any problems or issues you’ve come up against, or just a general overview? Let me know and I’ll try to help!
Zara ah ah ah

I’ve never been that into Zara. I would always hear of people getting amazing things there, but whenever I went in it was always a bit too boho-sienna-hippie-floral-smocks-broderie-anglaise and I just couldn’t see the appeal. Anyway, last week Hannah tweeted about getting a great Vuittonesque knee length skirt from Zara and I got curious and made a quick visit. If you follow me on twitter you might have seen me screaming about their knitwear and leather shorts and getting overexcited over elbow patches. I officially take back all my previous judgements and will probably ruin myself come september 2nd when their online store opens.
They’ve done a super cute job with the styling of these lookbooks. The layering in the top ones reminds me of J.Crew (who always have me shaking and crying), while the bottom ones have a nice Celineish simplicity, always a breath of fresh air on the high street. And let’s talk about that leather skirt!!!

This will be our year
August 17th, 2010
You know in fashion when trends for a season magically intersect with all the things you like and suit you and suddenly shopping is a joy rather than a drag? No, me neither. But I think my time has come! AW10 is looking to be excitingly relevant to my interests and I’m getting kind of phsyched to see all this sexy stuff filter through to the shops in the coming months. Knee lengths, calf lengths, ankle lengths! roller curls and massive beehives! all kinds of red lipstick! socks with shoes! 50s high waisted full skirts! ladylike framed handbags! things with waists at the waist! motherfucking KNITWEAR! leopard print! gloves. elbow length gloves. leather gloves. all shades of camel! pencil skirts. leather cropped trousers?!
Honestly, I think I need a lie down.
