California Dreaming

I don't normally post editorials, but:
- Did YOU know that Net-a-Porter had a magazine? I didn't. (Maybe it's only new news to me? haha);
- I'll always remain a California girl at heart, and I especially love photos of the Golden State;
- I love the casual, relaxed vibe of the outfits; and
- I love the dusty, adventurous, road-trip feel of this editorial, as one thing I'd really like to do some day is spend a week or two driving down (or up) the California coast;

I'd been on the hunt for the perfect pair of slightly cropped, skinny work pants, and finally tried on the Minnie from J.Crew ($89). Perfection! I'm lucky that my office isn't super corporate-y, and these pants go with everything, I swear. (For those of you who need more "corporate" looking pants, the Cafe Capri is similar!) I've worn it with a polka-dotted blouse, an Equipment shirt, with black heels and with nude wedges, and everything works! They're super flattering, slightly stretchy (the sales associates recommend that you go one size down since they apparently stretch out), and not too expensive!

Given my recent foray in drawing, I just saw these images from a Daily Mail article about Karl Lagerfeld's collaboration with Macy's and had to share!
I absolutely love that even though he is one of the top fashion designers in the world, he draws like this! They're cute and fun and also really convey the vibe of Macy's Impulse line - very fun and young. Can't wait to see the collection in person!

I'd been dying to start drawing again, and I finally did this week! A few of my practice sketches, along with the original photo that I copied it from (which all came from my September issue of Lucky):

| An attempt at drawing glass... |
(Please forgive poor photo quality - I took all of these with my Blackberry!)
Eventually I'd love to get good enough to draw from "real life" - I remember I once drew my strappy prom shoes during senior year Art AP - how awesome would it be to have drawings of all my shoes? (Really awesome!) In the meantime, I really need to pick up more markers (hate the grainy texture from color pencils - I'd love to have smooth color throughout!), which I will do this week, and keep practicing to improve my technique...I will graduate to drawing patterns and textures one day...!
Yay! Drawing makes me happy.
