Lavender is the New Pink (Lemonade)

When life gives you weather this hot, go to the store and make lavender lemonade! I'm absolutely in love with lavender (herb & color), so when I happened upon a recipe for lavender lemonade, I knew that the scorching weather wasn't my only reason to make a pitcher. It turned out as sweet and delicious as I'd hoped. Try it yourself!

In celebration of my new favorite summer sipper and color combo, here are two finds on my fashion want list:

Mean Girls' Rule #1

"All the Talk is.."
Cardboard, tissue paper, magazine clippings, mesh origami paper

New illustration. I started this last year, but just now got the inspiration to finish. I wanted to go bold to illustrate my point, and most of the images are from Nylon magazine. It's a commentary on the mean girl (hopefully, that's obvious). That girl means business.
Always remember rule no.1.

School/classes are alright so far. I may be posting work from a class or two soon.

A tout a l'heure!

Three of a Kind

These ladies are proof that a trip to the store is no less stylish an occasion than any other! How fun is their cohesive color scheme of black and white and each of the quirky and fun additions? Check out the necklace on the chicette on the left, the shoes on the girl in the center, and the stripe-on-stripe that's going on at the end!

A great accessory doesn't have to be limited to a great bag or shoe. Super stylish friends are better than a go-to pair of black pumps or the latest it bag!

On a similar note: Last night, some of my pals and I unintentionally dressed in black and blue! The absurd facial expressions were somewhat intentional!

'til next post!
