The Adorable Margaret Zhang!

The Adorable Margaret Zhang!

I loved drawing her, because of the interesting stripes in her outfit.  Who knew you could pair two similar but different sized stripes in one outfit and make it work?  The orange trench coat gives it the pop of color that it needed as well, and we all know that orange and blue are complimentary colors, so this makes sense.

Hope your day was as bright as mine!  Stay productive!

DO EPIC CHIC with Songofstyle!

____________________________________________________________________

Of course, I had to draw the other Song sister - Aimee!

She always has the best outfits!  Even with a simple t-shirt and jeans, pairing it will a statement necklace and heels make it pop!  I remember when I first discovered fashion bloggers, and Aimee was actually one of the first, if not the first blogger that I ever followed.  I was inspired by her, mainly because of her California influenced style.  And If you knew me, my heart is in L.A!  

Another cool thing about following bloggers in the beginning, is being able to see the transformation they go through, and the opportunities that it brings them. It makes you think that you can do it too!  You just need to work hard and keep on grinding.  Keep moving foward towards your dreams.  Hopefully that rings true for me.

Hope you all find that passion that comes within you and work hard to make it work!

The Man Reller!

The Man Repeller!

One of the best blogs to read ever.  She's interesting and so witty with her words.  

I like her concept of women wearing very fashionable things that other women might find really great, but men on the other hand, do not. In fashion, we women dress more for other women than we do for men anyways, which is funny.

I love her style though, the mixing of menswear and feminine clothing brings the outfits to another level, but I think only certain women can pull it off.  She does so quite well.

What do you think?

Have you ever worn something that repelled men?

Me in Dior Haute Couture

____________________________________________________________________

Dior Haute Couture 2014

This is quite a collection of fun silhouettes in a mostly black and white color scheme.

And not to mention the shoes that compliment the dresses!

It was hard to pick which outfits to draw, but I decided on one black and one white and see how I would look in Haute Dior.

What do you think?  Which one is your favorite?  

Until next time!

A Feral Creature

____________________________________________________________________

Recently looking through instagram and came upon Eugenie from Feral Creature blog.

I was most captured by her style and that she can pull off any color hair!  It was fun to draw her, and I would probably draw more in the future.  She just has a unique take on style that isn't boring.

Check her out!

Blush for Neonblush

____________________________________________________________________

Jenny Ong of Neon Blush is one of my favorite bloggers.  I love her style because it's something that I would definitely wear - feminine with a slight edge, she can pull off many looks!

Which is why I couldn't help but draw her, especially with the fluffy white beanie!  Makes me want to get one too.  

One another note:  Yesterday was the SUPERBOWL, but the game was TERRIBLE!

Were the Broncos even playing??  I couldn't even watch...sad, sad game.  So this is where Manning is going to leave off...

Did you watch the superbowl?

Who did you root for?  What did you think of the game?!

Love to hear in the comments :)

The World Is My Oyster

____________________________________________________________________

"The world is my oyster"

Oddly, this quote just randomly popped into my head and is pretty appropriate to what I have been feeling lately.  Basically, I feel like I can have so many opportunities, but I can't grab them fast enough.  There doesn't seem to be enough time in a day anymore.  From daily tasks, work, chores, projects, social life etc., how do you find the time? I just don't want to lose that chance to do something because I wasn't quick enough to jump on the ball.

Life changes, moments pass, and opportunities can slip away.  I need time management, and to figure out what's most important or adds the most value to my life.

I know.  I can't do it all.  *tears*

How do you find the time in your day to do everything?

I need to know!  

Side note:  The rendering above is from my ipad on paper by 53 :)

9 Year Old Inspiration

____________________________________________________________________

"I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." –Maya Angelou

For a 9 year old, Mia (on the right) is an inspiring and brave little girl.

Her mother contacted me about a drawing for Mia and told me a story that I would probably never forget.

Mia has a best friend (pictured on the left) who has been diagnosed with leukemia.  That means she will have chemotherapy, which results in hair loss.  For girls, we can be attached and sometimes defined by our hair.  It's like an accessory or security that most women find it hard to part from.  But for Mia, being there for a friend through a tough time is worth more than anything else.

So what did Mia do?   She told her best friend that she would shave her hair, so that her best friend didn't have to battle this alone.  Now, I don't know how many people are brave enough to do this for a friend, let alone a 9 year old, but that's inspiring.

The drawing:  I wanted to draw a portrait of them with their hair, because it signifies that they have triumphed over the battle and have come out as winners.  The headbands were worn when they didn't have hair, so I drew those to signify the bond that they had when they went through a tough time.

So no matter what you do in life - Remember that people will never forget the way you moved them, or made them feel.  Hopefully I did this story justice.  

Thanks Mia!
