LBD WEEK TWO 

A casual bohemian approach to the little black dress. Paired with harem pants, this take on the LBD is a little bit "I dream of Jeanie", with a little bit of neutrals, with just a bit of classic style.

Knits with any black dress guarantees a light and effortless gorgeous look

As promised, LBD week two is up on a lovely Sunday evening! Thanks for trusting in our promises! :)

Was just over the moon with the encouragement that we recieved from the last LBD post. I (Vess) hasn't really practiced my illustration skills in a while! Its been a joy to share my illustrations with you and recieve so much love! So here is another illustration in a different style that has an emphasis on detail. Do you like this style or the LBD week one?

In terms of illustrations; I really can't wait to share with you some of my favourite fashion illustrators! And in terms of the LBD, lovely Val has been encouraging me to try some different things with the LBD. Because I see her as my personal super stylist, I'm excited with anticipation of what we'll think of next. 

Please stay posted to see what we do next week!

//LBD WEEK ONE

LBD WEEK ONE 

I would call this, comfy casual with an emphasis on unified accessories.

Paired the black dress with a variety of accessories that really makes the mustard scarf look lovely. Little bright burst of colour always make any black dress look amazing.

 ------------------------------------------

 Week one of LBD weekends and something thing to say:

It's Tuesday.

Was extremely caught up this weekend with tooo many things to do. But please do not fret, next weeks will definately be up next Sunday evening. My apologies and I pinky promise, cross my heart and hope to die, poke a needle in my eye promise that it will be up next Sunday.

And please enjoy my little illustration of my outfit. I personally think that I am definately out of practice. So please leave a comment in the coming weeks if you think that my illustrations improve (hopefully) or if you like a particular drawing style. That would be simply amazing!

derwent pencils, white charcoal pencil, black fineliner



Love Love Love Frankie magazine. Seriously, we adore it.

Another thing that I (VESS!) adore is fashion illustration. Fashion illustration was a major part of my year 12 folio last year and I always loved drawing fashion.  I really really really want to illustrate more, specifically for this blog! And I also want to share some of my fashion illustration icons. (Yes, I have fashion illustration heroes...) We have some fabulous illustrators right here in Melbourne whose line work and watercolour I am soooooo inspired by!

So, please expect more of my work soon. Hope you like it!

And the original Frankie magazine cover:
(I am begging you to not scroll up and down and pick up my mistakes! Yes, I changed her face... sorry!)

BTW, I did send this image to the wonderful people over at Frankie, and they thought it was lovely and nice.

Sigh, I think I need to work harder...
