boys don't make PASSES

...at girls who wear glasses.
Except I reckon that they probably do.
Especially when said girls look like these ones!


As much as I love my eyesight, I have to admit that a tiny part of
me still secretly wants a nerdy pair of reading glasses.
I love a little bit of geek chic.


Aside from doing a little inspiration post,
I wanted to do a tiny update.
I know i've been so slack with my blog lately.
This year is going so QUICKLY! Don't you think?
I have been busy busy drawing like a crazy person, but most of it
I can't share until each project is revealed.
But I can't wait to post about them all!


I've also been drawing for the upcoming Disband exhibition,
which i'll post about in the next few days.
I've been told I can share some sneaky peeks so yay! :)


And finally I just bought a new house.
Well not all by myself, that would be very expensy! Haha.
But my boy and I get our keys today so i'll be doing my very best
Suzie Wilks impersonation over the next few weeks;
painting, re-flooring and decorating!
Can't wait!


I hope you've all been well and enjoyed your weekends!
I think it was a sunny one all round, yes?


XxX

P.S A HUGE thanks to everyone who left comments
over on my facebook page about the stolen tee shirt design.
(AGAIN - I know!)
I just want to say that while it's beyond frustrating that this
sort of things continues to happen to so many artists,
its you guys who, with your keen eyes, are helping us
to at least find out about it!
So thanks, and if you do see something that you think looks
as though it's been plagiarised definitely contact the artist.
Shout out to Leonie for contacting me!
Xxx

Winter Sunset

I decided it was time to sport my glasses. Since my eyes reject contacts, I wear these or my Lacoste glasses everyday and usually go blind during shoots. And even though I feel that they look like massive coke bottles, I do love them! Plus it was nice being able to see what I was doing! ;)

I turned the camera on Cole and even provoked a genuine smile! This is how Cole looks on the weekends- a little more laid back, relaxed and unshaven, but still pulled together. He's my classic and casual guy.

Take Ivy and Slightly Larger Glasses

Photo Credit: Here


I love these images from the late sixties Japanese book, Take Ivy. Don't they just make you want to wear penny loafers and embroidered sweaters.





This is totally unrelated, but I love this clip from the British show, The IT Crowd. I feel like Moss with my new, slightly larger glasses!

Happy Friday!

P.S. I apologize for my lack of comments and emails, but doing a cross country move is crazy!

What I Wore Today: 07.28.09- Mad Men Glasses

I need your lovely opinion...What do you think of my these Oliver Peoples Deacon glasses? I want slightly big and slightly ridiculous specs, but I'm not sure if they are right for me. The opticians were nice enough to let me take them home for a test drive. The more I wear them the more I like them. But I would still like your input.

So don't be shy, and tell me what you think!

Ruffled Dress: ModCloth
Deacon Glasses: Oliver Peoples


If I were a Mad Men character, this is what I would look like. Thanks to The Renegade Bean, I was able to test out the fun interactive game, Mad Men Yourself! The hair bow and donut are what make it so me.

Weekend Review

We had another beautiful weekend in Marblehead. Out on a walk I stumbled upon these gorgeous flowers, sprouting out of a picket fence. I have zero idea of what kind they are, other than magnificent.




Now that I've acquired a good number of glasses, I needed an easy access way to store them. A place where I could pick out what I wanted to wear for the day. Spending more time than I would like to admit, I couldn't figure out a solution until I told Cole. His suggestion, "use the wood cabinet that has nothing in it." Duh. I've been trying for years to think of a collection of sorts that I could display in that cabinet. Being a non-collecting knick knack person, it has stayed empty until now!! Now I just want to paint it a different color for maximum showcasing of my specs. Glossy white, black or silver.....hmmm. Random pic of Pip. Doesn't he look like a little monkey!




My birthday ebay finds arrived on Saturday!!

• Black 80's sweater with white collar. I immediately removed the lace insert and shoulder pads.
  
• Tan 80's Coach sling purse. I needed something small to hold just my phone, keys, chapstick, and i.d. for when I'm walking the dogs.
  
• 1950's Simplicity collars and cuffs pattern. I am always searching for peter pan collar shirts, now I can just make the collars to wear under sweaters. Perfect.
