CANNES GOWN

The moment I stumbled upon a picture of Sonam Kapoor in this D&G gown… I fell in love! A brilliant application of floral print on a gown. Worn on the Red Carpet of the Cannes Film Festival.

GATSBY

Gatsby, Gatsby, Gatsby! I can’t get enough. The soundtrack has unsurprisingly been on repeat. The roaring twenties were such glamorous years… I absolutely fell in love with how they were portrayed...

PEONIES

SUNFLOWER

“If I were a flower… I would be a sunflower. To always follow the sun, turn my back to darkness, stand proud, tall and straight even with my head full of seeds.” Pam Stewart

CELEBRATING MOM

I remember the days of raiding my mom’s bathroom, searching for the drawer filled with lipstick and blush (after years of wearing Crayola lipstick) so I could paint my face just like her- and maybe...

PAPERFASHION SHOP

My print shop is finally back, and stocked with all new prints! I’m thrilled with my printer- their quality is unreal. Each image is an archival ink Giclee print on hand-molded Hahnemühle’s German...

THE GOWN

I never get tired of drawing gowns, never. Whenever I’m warming up my hand, I instinctively begin by drawing girls in gowns. It just feels natural to me… I’ve been using Vine to record my process a...

SKILLSHARE

Remember way back when, I told you I was teaching an online class? Well I’m certainly overdue to tell you all about it! I was blown away by the talent that emerged from day one. I set out to create...

SPRING IN HARVARD SQUARE

It was a matter of chance that led me to live in Harvard Square, and it is now by far one of my favorite places in the world. It’s a picturesque place, no matter the season. I love a good snow...

Anemones

You guys didn’t get the memo? This is now a floral blog… Kidding of course, but for now I’m thriving on them! Right now I’m really into these Anemones.

TINY DANCER

A quick sketch brought to life.

Far, Far Away Illustrated

When I was at the shoot for this editorial, I couldn’t help but imagine how the model seemed to be an illustration brought to life. Between the hair, makeup, and styling, it was the epitome of...

THE POWER OF A ROSE

It’s incredible how much power a single red rose embodies. Then again, if you look at a rose closely you can see the power within it’s seemingly never ending layers of velvety petals. It’s true,...

SLEEPING BEAUTY

Two versions of a deleted scene from the Far Far Away editorial in Genlux Magazine. Which is your favorite? Pick up a copy of the magazine in print at any Barnes & Noble! Photography Daniel Castro...

COCO

“Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening.” Coco Chanel

Lets Get Lost

Traveling is one of my favorite ways to get inspired. The world can seem so small in our digital age, but it opens your eyes up a little bit wider when you get out and see it for yourself. I love...

GOLDEN Ranunculus

Continuing with the Spring theme, I stopped by the Brattle Square Florist searching for inspiration for a new piece. Flowers always seem to open up my creative mind! While I was there, I decided it...

Spring At Last

The thing I love most about living in New England is that the season changes never seem to get old. No matter how many times winter melts into to spring, we never fail to appreciate it all over again!

NEW ICONS OF FASHION ILLUSTRATION

If you missed out on the last Laurence King Publishing giveaway, here’s your chance to win another favorite of mine! Their latest, New Icons of Fashion Illustration, serves up some of the best...

FAR FAR AWAY

Being an illustrator, it isn’t everyday that you are involved in a fashion editorial shoot… so this was something new for me. It flooded my mind with ideas! One of my favorite projects to date…...

GENLUX PROCESS

Throughout the past few weeks I’ve been working on a project for Genlux Magazine’s April issue! Daniel Castro and I teamed up to create a spring editorial story combining his fashion photography...

SPRING CHANEL

What’s more classic than the Chanel Classic Flap Bag? You may have spotted a Chanel quilt in my previous post too. What’s your dream bag? It’s finally Spring in Boston (at least we hope), and I...

GRACE

My spin on an ever inspiring Grace Coddington.

In Flight

Dancing in her sleep

Seeing the Boston Ballet perform is something that refreshes and inspires me each time I attend. I love how classic it feels… you can easily imagine being there years and years ago, and it looking...

DELPOZO

Every once in a while you come across a designer’s work that you just can’t stop thinking about. Delpozo’s latest collections have me swooning… they are perfectly feminine and oh so powerful. These...

Valentino

My favorite look from Valentino Fall 2013.

PLACES TO DREAM OF

If you follow me on instagram, you may have noticed a few behind the scenes pics from a dream project I’m working on… I’m dying to share more… but for now, these will have to do!

CHANGING SEASONS

I love that day when you walk outside and feel a shift in the air; the coming of a new season. I’ve been in NYC for a few days, and I can feel Spring just around the corner… Bring on the sock-less...
