I can’t get through the day without…




Uh oh, I have a new obsession. As if spending most of my free time blogging isn’t bad enough, now there’s a new plaything on the scene. www.shopvogue.tv is the new interactive site from US Vogue. You can click on any number of high end ad campaigns (eye candy in itself) and then shop from the ads by clicking on the pictures. Ooh fun!! There are also behind-the-scenes shoots at the ad campaigns (check out the Chloe one and…how gorgeous does Christy Turlington STILL look filming the Roberto Coin ad?) and, my favourite, the SHARE channel where you can upload your own pics and share with other users. And in true Vogue style the whole thing is slick as shit and beautifully presented.

Pen friends



Last Friday I happened upon an adorable new book called The Age Of Feminine Drawing. I started out in life wanting to be a fashion illustrator but what with one thing and another never fulfilled that ambition. This book reminded me of that bygone passion. There are pages and pages of whimsical, girlish and sometimes sexy sketches. Here are some of my favourites:
Jeffrey Fulvimari – This prolific illustrator has collaborated with top end designers including Louis Vuitton, Anna Sui and Helmut Lang and has a number of merchandising ranges including one called Bobbypin Girl. I actually met him once and he paid me the ultimate compliment by proclaiming me ‘a real live Bobbypin girl’. Ooh what a charmer!

I like the sketchiness of Australia-based Rebecca Wetzler’s illustrations. They make me think ‘I could do that’ (if I wasn’t so lazy).

Tina Berning makes drawing look so easy! These illustrations inspired me so much I went straight out and bought a Rotring pen (eek, £20!!!). Have I used it yet? Nope.
