Fashion Illustrator: Kelly Thompson

Kelly Thompson makes tattoos look incredibly feminine and whimsical. I would love to buy these fashion illustrations for every space in my room. Click here for her equally impressive website.

In her Closet: Melanie's Colorful Collection

This weekend, Mel and Candice allowed me to photograph their apartment for my blog series, 'In her Closet', an intimate look at Fashion Designer's spaces. Mel and I used to work in the same design office, but she is leaving the corporate world to pursue her own creative projects. Congrats Mel!

She's a painter, musician and fashion designer and shares a colorful and cheerful apartment with Candice, who is also a designer (more on her space in the next installment). Be sure to check out Mel's blog on local fashion, food and music here.

Light as a Feather, Stiff as a Bird..

Feather necklace LoveatFirstBlush

 

I thought I would share some of the inspiration behind my work. My ivory white feather necklaces (available in the shop) are inspired by the wings of a dove and feathers of a swan. 

Have a great weekend!
