1920s

I LOVE this coat...the details are so delicate and pretty. Very chic. And I love the illustration...the juxtaposition between East and West, and how each of them are super stylish in their own ways...so beautiful. 

Sorry I didn't post for a while, I was in Seattle visiting the boyfriend. Fun! So many amazing bookshops...

The Deadly Seven

The seven deadly sins. A popular motif, with infinite possibilities for reinvention. I like this artist's women - delicate, whimsical, and the jewel colours are great. Plus, I would wear every one of those dresses. 

I guess at the moment, I'm prey in a big way to every one of those sins. Usually my biggest problem is Vanity and Sloth. But recently I've been accumulating deadly sins. 

What are yours?

BUNNIES!

I love these girls...I draw like this so they're lovely to me. I like that alot of clothing detail managed to be incorporated into such simple drawings. I like the imperfection too.

I'm lounging around in the giant white bath robe my boyfriend got me for Christmas...Sunday mornings are the best :)

By the way...I feel like I post either way too much or Yasi posts way to little...what do you think? Maybe its just my impulse to post in threes...

what i saw today

source: what i saw today

the sartorialist equivalent in easy, breezy sketches. amazing blog. a lovely drawn record of street-styles by a fashion illustrator whose name i am regrettably unaware of. anyways, "designerman" posts fabulous stuff, and even if it's all men's outfits, it's still irresistibly stylish. 

Karl Lagerfeld in Vogue Dec. 2008

One of Karl Lagerfeld's sketches from this month's Vogue (December 2008). They illustrate some kind of story about a ball.  I love his drawings, they're so fluid and a little messy and chic. 

I'm gonna go get a copy right now!

There's a lull in the cooking frenzy... so I'm amusing myself. David Downton is awesome. He'll be talking at my school next semester, I'm exited :) I love the fluidity and the supreme confidence of his drawings - he knows exactly where he wants to put the one line that will pull all the rest of them together.

Lingerie

I love lingerie...its so pretty. It feels like I'm wearing a secret. :) The illustrator for the top picture is Richard Grey, a prominant fashion illustrator. He's done alot of stuff for McQueen, and this is the ad for Agent Provocateur.

I could have sworn I wrote her name down...

This Illustrator rocks my socks. If anyone knows how he/she is, let me know please?
