I first started seeing her outfit posts pop up on Pinterest and now I'm obsessing over her closet! Rachel Parcell of Pink Peonies always pairs preppy with a dose of glitz and glam. And she's not afraid of color... which makes for a great sketch =) This sequin sweater is amazing paired with skinny jeans and glittery loafers. And a peep of polka dots is perfection! The right outfit really can change your mood =) Happy Friday, everyone!

How stunning is Kelly in this photo?! I've been following her blog, The Glamourai, for quite some time now... and became obsessed with her super chic looks and amazing apartment. I thought I'd go back to my roots on this one and just do a pencil sketch, like my school day drawings. Enjoy!

Spring for some reason is synonymous with stripes in my mind. I definitely need more stripes in my life. Mara Ferreira's always adorable style, featured on her blog M Loves M, is perfect for the winter-spring transition... a great pop of color with black & white stripes. Here's hoping that consistently warm weather is just around the corner! Have a good rest of your week =)

It's been awhile since my last 'Blogger Inspired' post so I decided to draw one of my favorites: Liz Cherkasova of Late Afternoon. I saw her feature on Glitter Guide awhile back and loved this look! Not only is she beyond gorgeous and always chic, I admire how she combines prints and colors.

I'm trying to get used to the idea of bold patterns and bright pops of color for spring since I kinda missed out this past fall. To test the waters I just bought a pair of bright orange skinny jeans! Even though it feels like winter never came, I think I could get used to the idea of warm weather right about now =) Have a happy and productive week!

Have you seen Kimberly's blog Eat Sleep Wear? I just discovered it a couple weeks ago and am now a follower. She is so adorable and makes glasses look really really chic. I loved one of her Fashion Week looks so much I had to put pencil to paper!

There are so many personal style blogs out there, it's sometimes hard invest in any particular one. But how inspiring to see someone who stays true to her own aesthetic! While I'm still working on my 'perfect' wardrobe, reading blogs like these makes me want to care more about what I put on in the morning =)

I hope you have a happy week!

This weekend was a total washout, literally. As hurricane Irene made her way up the east coast I was glued to every news station watching and waiting. We had prepared ahead of time in case we lost power and stockpiled water and food in case of emergency but nothing really happened. And I was so prepared! Slightly disappointing.

This feeling invaded my mood and I haven't been inspired to draw much of anything recently. I guess that's okay but today I just couldn't take it. It's been over a week since my last post which is unacceptable! 

I can always count on my favorite fashion blogs to inspire some sketching. I've already featured Blair Edie of Atlantic-Pacific before, but her outfits are just so amazing I had to draw her again. Hopefully this week of beautiful weather will cheer me up and get me thinking about fall again. How excited is everyone for Fashion Week?!

The newest edition to my 'chic reads' link list is none other than Blair Edie's beautiful blog, Atlantic-Pacific. I love her stunning collection of sunnies and bangles, charming dresses, and signature bouffant. 

Her dress in this post is gorgeous. The detail is amazing, I would snatch one up for myself if I had somewhere fancy to go!

There are so many blogs out there, I'm discovering new favorites everyday. It's a great way to get inspired, I nearly always find something that makes me want to draw. 

I hope everyone has a relaxing weekend. I'm going out for a walk in Central Park with the BF to enjoy this lovely NYC weather and then I'll be working on the studio!
