Drawing Queen

Today I will be doing a lot of drawing for a video at work.  Doodling & swirls I can do, but legit drawing has never been my forte.  I decided to do what I always do and look to the World Wide Web for advice.  

I came across Melissa, creator of 160 Pages, she claims to not be a drawer....lies, all lies!  In order to fine-tune her craft, Melissa will keep a 160 day journal of drawings.  If only I could draw a burger, albums or magazines like her...I guess that means I need to give up stick-figures!

Mint Inspiration

Whenever I need a boost of creativity for work, my mouse always wanders to Mint.  Ellie has an unbelievable eye for design, which is evident throughout her blog & flickr accounts! Thank You Ellie for creating a daily inspiration, Mint!

Simply Beautiful: Zooey

While watching The Secret Life CNN, a Cotton commercial came on that was captivating.  I adore their new campaign of various singers performing the theme song, what I adore even more is that they picked Zooey Deschanel!  Take a look:

Zooey has always resided on my favorites list and if the commercial wasn't enough to convert you, here are a few more reasons why:

Lovely Linen

There is one perfectly delightful aspect of summer that I look forward to throughout the cold winter, linen!  I love linen in every form! Linen seems to take over my apartment from the bedroom to the closet.  

Needless to say, when I ran across Pip-Squeak Chapeau Etc. I feel in love with the simple beauty of her linen.  Take a peek and don't be afraid to fall in love too!

Texas = Too Hot (Part II)

HauteLook redeemed itself {see previous post} with the Prairie NY collection.  These light and lovely dresses would be perfect for the 11 months of summer the great state of Texas receives!

Lesson learned: Always look on the bright side!

Texas = Too Hot!

Welcome back to Texas, where the weather is a consistent 105!  Seriously?  Not to mention I received a taunting e-mail from HauteLook that included a boutique from Autumn Cashmere....just. plain. cruelty.  

Here are some of the items that I would LOVE to have, but would only be able to wear 5 days out of the year from Autumn Cashmere...

Built by Wendy

I'm overwhelmed with the style magnitude of Built by Wendy! 

She makes adorable french inspired clothing...

...& sells patterns so that you can make your own...I...Love...Wendy!

Undeniable Beauty

Every time I get a chance to visit {this is glamorous}, I am instantly inspired.  The pictures alone fill me with such sweet serenity and hope.  This is what I would love to accomplish one day, seamless, elegant style.

Mary Poppin's Bag

My sister, Queen Anne's Lace, sent me this link for the perfect bag!  

Keely, already a pronounced bag addict, is making me into one as well.  The Mary Poppins like bag comes from the store Enid.  Not to mention some other cute items I found on their site...
