The Sketch Book — May

Time to change the calendar again! Does anyone know the designer of this gorgeous gown? I had the website saved forever and of course lost it just in time for me to post this. typical. This dress is designed by the talented, Joe Challita!

Happy Birthday Elisa! Once upon a time, in a land of toile curtains and matching bedspreads, Elisa and I were roomies. Now she's down in Texas enlightening young minds while wearing delightfully colorful outfits. She can wear more colors and patterns than any one else I know. These sketches do not nearly do her amazing outfit pairing skills (or her gravity defying, beautiful hair) justice. This post is also an ode to my favorite thing about the month of May. I finally feel like I can wear dresses dresses dresses of all shapes and sizes and hem lengths without tights...

Happy May! This months illustration is inspired by a Louis Vuitton look from last spring (i think?) I should really keep better track of my inspiration sources.
