I’m all about this cold weather/polar vortex that everyone is talking about. Why? Because of the cool coats that everyone sports. As a matter of fact I bought myself a pretty nice jacket recently…which is what inspired me to draw these two sketches. Original photos can be found here & here.
As the cool younger sister of Beyonce – Solange Knowles definitely holds her own when it comes to personal style. That’s why I choose to sketch her. She’s definitely one of my style idols with her crazy curly hair and her love of wild prints and colour combos, what’s not to love?
After watching the Golden Globe Awards the other night (along with masses), I was happy to see red as a feature colour on the red carpet. With celebs like Amy Adams, Lupita Nyong’o, Emma Watson, Taylor Swift and more donning the fiery hue, it was interesting to see how they all wore the colour and the different ways in which they did so. Recently I was introduced the brand Henkaa and was gifted one of their gorgeous dresses to try and style myself. I just happened to choose none other than the colour red (it’s a popular colour in my wardrobe). Here’s the thing about Henkaa convertible dresses, they can be styled in over 80 different ways. Henkaa offers video tutorials on their site just in case you need a little assistance along the way. But you might feel inclined to create your own styles! Here are the 3 ways that I styled my Sakura Ruby Red Midi Henkaa Convertible Dress: Remember to have fun when you are styling your dress! There are so many styles …
I take care to choose the products I use in my hair and the way that I style it and I think my curly-hair sisters can relate to the story that I’m about to share: You’ve just spent a considerable amount of time washing and styling your curls. You head out for the day and at least one person you come across wants to TOUCH your precious curls! You kindly explain to them that it took you quite a bit of time to wash, detangle and style it and would love for them to look, but don’t touch! My earliest memory of this happening was when I was around 4 years old (see below for über cute picture of mini-me). I was in Hong Kong with my parents and we were walking through an extremely crowded street market. Because I hadn’t yet been bestowed with the gift of height (I’m still waiting..), I was allowed to sit atop my father’s shoulders as we walked through this packed market. And here’s where it gets good, people …
So it has been a while since I’ve bought a bag. So long in fact that I can’t remember the last bag that I bought! But as I was recently browsing through the Danier website a certain bag caught my eye, and it won’t let go! Not that I want it to 😉 Here is the lovely bag that I’m currently after: It has a classic and chic design that would make it a great everyday tote to carry around. I wouldn’t hesitate for a moment to carry this to a dinner date should I need to! Danier has a great selection of bags, handbags, purses and totes! Perfect for the bag-lover on your holiday list!
