girl crush/style icon

Hello,

Hope everyone is enjoying the awesome weather. I certainly have, but maybe did a bit too much today. I went and burnt the bottom of my bum...silly me. Hurts so much, but I only have myself to blame I guess!
I have hardly been on my computer due to the glorious sunshine, but I've been looking for some style inspiration and have definitely found my new style-icon-girl-crush-extreme. She's called Tricia Gosingtian and you may already have seen her/follow her style posts, but I have just found her and she is a-m-a-z-i-n-g. Extreme style envy and hair envy! I thought I would post a few of my favourite looks, which I may try to re-create.

I adore the amount of collars she uses to style her outfits. I just think they finish the overall look really well, and dress up a casual sweater or t-shirt. I've been thinking about interview clothes for when I go to London and start (hopefully!) having interviews. I find summer sometimes hard to interview dress for. Winter I feel is a lot easier, but in summer you want to make sure you're cool (temp-wise!) but still look good and smart. Browsing through Tricia's blog and Lookbook helps as I think there are a lot of cute styles, perfect for that summer interview.

All images are from Tricia Gosingtian's blog and Facebook.

I may have a go at making some collars to add edginess to some of my outfits. But for now I shall go and pour after-sun all over my poor, burnt body.

Hello,

I decided to change my illustrations a bit and went back to some cartoon-style drawings. The four girls were a mixture of some clothes from various places such as Topshop, River Island and American Apparel which I really want. It sucks not having my scanner right now so I have to keep posting not very good Instagram pictures. I've been looking through lots of pictures and getting inspiration and it's nice going back to my old style of drawing sometimes, I'm going to do lots more soon. I like the style of the thicker black pen then with the thinner pen showing more of the smaller detail.

I'm also still loving drawing models and will just have to do a few pictures of Anja Konstantinova as she is a babe! I just love her - especially in a Wildfox photo shoot. Expect lots of drawings of her too!

Another drawing of Daphne Groeneveld. I just love drawing her so much. I might start doing some illustrations of clothing soon, using different thickness of black pens. Will post up when I have started.

I enjoy working with paints, and trying to improve my drawing/sketching. I've been doing way too much computer images, I need to get back to basics. These are two more illustrations of models. The bottom one is Christian Dior spring rtw 2012. Hope you like.

I haven't posted in a while, but today I felt a little productive so I decided to start some more illustrations/paintings. I don't have my scanner right now so they are just taken off my iphone. I haven't used paints in a while but I love using them, so from now on I will use paint as one of my main art media's. I am also going to look around charity shops to find old frames and hopefully put some of my work up on Etsy. I shall link when I'm done.

oh, Daphne

Today was a long, long day spent in the hospital. From 9.00 am until midnight. I am still up as I have drank many energy drinks throughout the day. Tomorrow me & my boyfriend are going to a lovely hotel for a night, so I am very excited as it looks really posh. Whilst I was sat today in between trying my hardest to get a good score on Temple Run (ahhh it's so addictive!) I managed to sketch some more drawings of the beautiful Daphne Groeneveld. I just love her face so much. I might do some digital images of her soon and work on colour in Photoshop.

I need to work on it + add some more shading. 
Not really loving many of the LFW collections so far. Maybe some will catch my eye soon.
Also I am really addicted to the Wildfox photo shoots collections. They just scream summer which makes me feel happy. The sun was out today and even though the heat wasn't with it, it was still lovely.

Mark Hunter + girl crush

Another post as I wanted it separate from my previous one!

 Ahhh it's been a long while since I have found a photographer whose work I love. Behold...Mark Hunter. I am pretty new to his work, some of you may already love him (or loath him!) but I most certainly have fallen in love with his picture, especially this bikini shoot for Wildfox. It is to promote the 2012 swimwear collection they are launching and I simply want every. single. bit. 

I am also kinda in love with the model: Anja Konstantinova who is a total babe. New girl crush alert! She looks divine in every shot.

What do you think? Are there any other awesome photographers you can link me to?
