Dallas Shaw

Dallas Shaw is an inspiring Fashion Illustrator out of Wilmington, DE. I adore Fashion art anyway but these are particularly lovely.  Her aesthetic is so tasteful and refreshing... which is not easy to come by.

Eduard Erlikh

Eduard Erlikh is by far my favorite contemporary fashion illustrator. His work is phenomenal and speaks for itself. I always love flipping through his latest works...the colors, the languid figures, the posh settings. So chic!!

Blush & Bashful

In honor of Valentine's Day 2010, I am posting all things pink - my all time favorite color. Valentine's day is so alluring to me - not because of the romanticism but because everything everywhere is drenched in a palette that I have loved since I was little. Candy, cards, cupcakes, cocktails - all in pink! When else is it fashionably acceptable to utilize this color to such extremes after the age of 4?

The Royal Treatment

Purple dyes were once a rare commodity - only royalty could afford goods in the precious color. This season - purple is a HUGE trend. All shades from lavender to magenta are on clothes, accessories and stationery. This is why I think it will make the ideal theme color for my friend's upcoming wedding. I think it will be tastefully perfect for an October wedding that is going to be traditional and stylish.

Posh Girl Vintage

Posh Girl Vintage is an online retailer that offers basically one-of-a-kind vintage apparel from all decades of the twentieth century. I check their dresses from time to time with hopes of someday having an occasion to wear one to. They are fun to look at and reminisce about my grandmother - who owned an extensive costume jewelry collection and grew up in an era where skirts were the dress code for everyday. Most of all these dresses look like they would be fun to wear. They are the kind of outfits that make you feel like a girl.

Bling Escape

I always adore chunky jewelry and anything with rhinestones. Necklaces of 2010 seem to be getting bigger, chunkier and sparklier... which tempts me to go bankrupt adding to my already ridiculous accessory collection. These gems are by Elva Fields and it would be difficult to pick which one of her genius designs would be my favorite.

Heading towards 2010

Irvington-based millinery designer, Meagan Swinney was gracious enough to share complimentary samples of her Spring 2010 headband line at last night's New Year's Eve bash. The pieces are versatile, displaying a thoughtful palette and fun textures. As you could see, they went over incredibly well!
