Cozy cabin sweater

___________________________________________________________________

Today I found a cute sweater on the Urban Outfitter's instagram page. It has a unique, kitschy graphic which I like, and reminds me of my favorite holiday!  Christmas. There are so many good memories related to this holiday that just looking at this sweater makes me feel happy.

Do you ever get a happy feeling when a clothing item reminds you of a good memory?
If so, let me know in the comments!

Late Night Outfit

____________________________________________________________________

Here's a late night outfit I put together.  Something comfy and cozy that I would wear in the spring time.  

Add on leggings and knee high boots for winter appropriate wear.

Reminiscent of the college days.

This is going to be a quick post!

A couple weeks ago I watched Disney's "Frozen", and was inspired to do a sketch of the 2 sisters in the movie.  Hope you enjoy!

Zebras & Fast Company

____________________________________________________________________

Hello!

Today I wanted to get some new Micron pens and archival paper to upgrade my drawings, so I took a late lunch and ended up stopping by Hobby Lobby - a store I could spend hours in.

The first thing I did, was rush back to the clearance aisle to see if I could score anything cool for cheap. I found this Zebra notebook for $2.90 (first picture above) and some paintbrushes that were about 90% off retail and I grabbed those too.  The only thing I didn't end up finding was archival paper in the size I wanted, so I'll have to go look again another day. 

When I got home, I was also presented with a new issue of Fast Company!  Cool!

How was your day?

Topshop Jacket = Chinese Merchant

____________________________________________________________________

Topshop is one of my favorite places to shop after Zara.  It' s a bit on the pricey side, but if you go to their sale section you could probably score a cool item or two.  Today I picked out this unusual silhouette wool jacket, which runs about $170.  What actually caught my eye, was the color.  I love the color chartreuse! However, after sketching the coat and drawing the hair in that style, the what was suppose to be a "chic" look, became a chinese merchant look.... sigh.  

Oh well!  Even though it didn't really turn out the way I wanted...I put it up anyways.  

What would you wear with this jacket? Let me know!

Flower Power Plaid Mix

____________________________________________________________________

What a simple flower graphic, yet it makes a statement.  I won't particularly wear this t-shirt, but I thought it was fun to draw and see how it looked.  The plaid definitely adds a little bit of prep.  If you paired it with a leather align skirt, it would be a totally different look.

What would you wear with this flower print?

Let me know!

Ooh La La Shorts Suit!

____________________________________________________________________

Helloooo!

Tonight, I am wearing Forever 21 again, but how could I not?   I'm always a sucker for blazers paired with shorts, but not just any type of shorts, they have a little "flare"!

Hope you all had a great week!  Mine has been very productive as you can see.  The blog is almost there, just a little bit of tweaking and it should be complete soon...hopefully.

How's your week going?  Tomorrow's Friday and then it's the weekend!  What will you be doing?!

As always...

What Did the Fox Say?!

____________________________________________________________________

Hello!

Today my outfit is also from Forever 21!  It's a cute fox sweater paired with a red and black plaid skirt.

It's still simple and comfortable to wear, but still looks like you put some effort into it.  you might not think that a fox print and plaid would be a usual combination, but it works because of the color tones.  Any neutral (black, tan, grey, white)  can be mixed with any pattern or color and still look like it goes together!  As for the shoes, I opted for a brown and black knee high Hunter boot for more warmth!

So what did the fox say?  Is this a yay or nay?

Let me know below!

Sailing with Stripes!

____________________________________________________________________

Hi All!

Last night, I was browsing around the Forever 21 site to get some wearable fashion inspiration, and came upon this cute but very affordable nautical crop top.  First, I'm a fan of the nautical inspired clothing because it's fresh and simple to wear. Second, for the price it's a steal!  Third, well I love sea animals - whales, dolphins, seals, jellyfish, starfish, octopus, squid, you get the point.

I drew the jeans a little bit different to make it a little more less sailor, and added a long necklace for that bling factor!  Actually, reminds me of something at J Crew, but less conservative. 

Then I decided to top it off with a wristlet to make the outfit a little more casual, like I'm going grocery shopping look haha.  

Do you like nautical inspired clothing?  If so, what would you pair with this red striped tee?  Tell me in the comments!

Laters!

Plaids love maxis!

____________________________________________________________________

Hello!

Today I decided to try out a little watercolor painting for fun.  I was looking for inspiration and went onto the Forever21 site and found this outfit on their lookbook.  I love plaid and mixing it with a black maxi seems like a no brainer!

Anyways, hope you all enjoy the drawing!  I'm still working on my watercolor technique so it'll look a lot better once I get the hang of it!  Hopefully this blog will help motivate me to draw a lot more everyday.

It's a much needed creative outlet for me, especially when you're stuck at home due to a SNOW STORM! 

wahh...-.-
