I love you Lara

I know it's not just me who appreciates the beauty that is Lara Stone. She is a fantastic model, her face is so strong and powerful and captivates me so. Here are two of my illustrations of la fabulous Lara.

This scribbling is based upon the image below:

And scribble number 2

And again this illustration was inspired by la picture below:

OOOhhhh and if you haven't already seen it, Lara stars in Versace's Versus perfume advertisement and it's fab, she's fab! WE LOVE YOU LARA!

Oh BOY!

This song has been permanently stuck in my head for over a week. It's completely unshakeable. 
The video by no means does this song justice! 
Listen along and let it infect your brain too!


Miss Li 'Oh Boy'

Little Red and Diet Coke

This makes me want to dye my hair red again!
 

I miss being red :(

Brown is dull, black was too intense and ginger makes me look like a giant blotch! I still have blonde to test out. 
Hmmmm maybe I shall dye it red again in la summer?

I do adore the doll puppets Diet Coke uses for its advertisements. 

They used them when they sponsored Ugly Betty which fits in with the pretence of fashion being 'plastic' and 'fake'. 

Ahh I miss Ugly Betty.
Here's some of the awesome ad's:

Natanya

This is my illustration of Natanya, designer of Flutter by Daisy. I posted previously an illustration I had done of her as a bunny (click here to view post).

Please do go check out her blog: What Natanya did.

Myself and Keighley attended the Flutter By Daisy fashion show in London only the other week. 

The show was ever so magical and ethereal with the models like woodland nymphs. 

Unfortunately my silly camera wouldn't take any pretty pictures so I am unable to show the fairy like dresses the show contained but here is a beautiful dress which depicts her feminine style:

Dressed in her sublime garments and with her pixie like features, you can imagine Natanya being a Princess of some forest faeries and sprites in a far off magical land, kinda like David Bowie's character 'Jared; The Goblin King' in the amazing Labyrinth.

Ahhhh I fell so in love with David Bowie in this legendary film!

I absolutely ADORE this sequence. And the song is so mesmerising!

 

I think I may just go play the film soundtrack album right now! 

New Blog Header

So I've changed my blog header.
It's nothing special, I just fancied a change.
These are the illustrations I drew of my final collection being modelled upon la catwalk. 
So yeh that's all I really wanted to say.
Today has been a sad day so I'm gonna go eat marzipan. 

You set me on fire LADYHAWKE!

Meow! Firstly; LADYHAWKE! LADYHAWKE! LADYHAWKE! La Clare likes Miss Ladyhawke, she has this 80s element to her which I love! My fave song of hers is definitely 'Back of the Van'. Here is an illustration I did of her in la back of a van, that is being engulfed in flames, somewhere far far off in la galaxy with a magical white horse which will take her back to Paris.

People often likened me to looking similar to her album artwork, below:

Well today should have been an uberly long stressful day at work, but fortunately I finished surprisingly early wwoooooooooooooopppp! And how did I celebrate my sudden freedom you ask? Well after skipping in la sunshine and humming along to lyricless songs, I went on a good splashing of 'CHAZZA SHOPPING' (meaning visiting la local charity shops on la hunt for magical finds). And OHHH! MY! I found some fantastical marvels today! Included two awesomely awesome winter coats, a vintage knit cardi with beautifully delicate metal fancy clasps, the tinyiest and cutest of porcelin tea cups, an amazingly tacky picture in frame, a wooden elf man with a huuuuuuggge nose whom I shall hang in my room, a wooden mederterain belly dancing woman figure whom shall marry la wooden elf man and they shall have wooden babies together! and AND I got a vintage limited celebration edition boxset of Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through The Looking Glass at an jaw droppingly cheap price! Oh I'm still ever so excited over my finds :D

Rah Rah and a Gaga-Ga with a splashing of McQueen

Bonjour kittens and other fluffy people. Been meaning to post my illustration of Lady Gaga wearing the stunning outfit by the late Alexander McQueen's Spring 2010 collection. This is one of a few illustrations I have drawn in memory of the amazing Alexander McQueen. He was a huge inspiration not only to be but also the world. So this is very small token of my love and respect for a very talented icon. I hope you all like.

The following images are of Gaga wearing the outfit in her 'Bad Romance' music video and the catwalk photo of McQueen's magnifiscent collection.

And to say goodbye, the delightful song itself:

Flora, Fauna and Merryweather

My mood this week has been very ethereal. I have unpurposely worn florals everyday this week. I think I have a wee crush on all that is naturey and ethereal. And this love has been fuelled by la Gucci 'Flora' perfume advert directed by Chris Cunningham; pure love! 

And I found this image hidden in a folder of pictures I love and inspire me. 
How much does it remind you of la Flora advert!

Tomorrow I am heading to London to attend a fashion show. La designer is Flutter By Daisy 
(Natanya Waybourne) and she designs ethereal dresses for "broken dolls and butterfly people". 
She is super super cool and I am just a wee bit excited to see la show! 
Below is an illustration I did of Natanya in one of her ever soo pretty dresses. 
I think its cute but then again, I did draw it :)

I'm now ever so sleepy. Bed time one thinks. Sweet dreams one and all!
