Bardot

Holiday (and year round) hair and style inspiration from Bridget Bardot. She always seemed to get it right!

Illustration by me, photos from everywhere (sorry!)

Lights

Hope you're all having a lovely holiday season!

It's sixteen miles to the promised land

Fall Things

Going through old books for inspiration, throwing glitter around...pretty standard.     I painted pumpkins this year instead of carving them, because I'm impatient and usually end up stabbing myself at least once. Also, the results are very pretty compared to my poor, rushed carving jobs. Especially in the sun!

I say I'm comin' home

A recent illustration (and favourite style inspiration rolled into one), and a song. Hope your week is off to a good start! 

Orla Kiely NYC

I was really lucky over the last while, as I had the chance to create some illustrations for Orla Kiely's NYC boutique. They feature pieces from the brand's S/S 12 collection -which, as with their other collections, is filled with clothing that I'd be quite happy to own! Lots of perfect colours and signature patterns that were exciting to work with, which is right up there for me.

Anyhow, the finished and mounted pieces are on display and some for sale at the store, located at 5 Mercer Street in New York. The first picture is from Orla Kiely's instagram, showing the pieces on display for the first time during the South Soho stoop sale, which the store participated in the other night. I wish that I could make it over there, but just having my work in the store is really nice. 

Enjoy the weekend!

The modesty and quickness of a wild antelope

Breaks and in between time. Hope everyone is having a swell Summer! x

End of the Roll

 

End of a film roll, and end of Spring! Onto some Summer now.

Sunglasses, Sheep, Strawberry

 

A glimpse of Spring and early Summer. Hope you're all well!

Breakfast Time

What did you have for breakfast today?

Three Spring-ish things around my house

 1: favourite nail polish colours (when I'm not too lazy to apply some) 2: crocuses  
3: robin's nest in my bike basket!

Good Morning Mr. Magpie

Hope your Easter was swell!
