Fashionable Friday : Feather Duster X Tea Cosy X ShellSherree Collab

22.5.20

You saw it here first: the ultimate in #stayathome DIY fashion design crafting!  Meet Feather Duster X Tea Cosy X ShellSherree.  A match made in upcycling heaven.

Today's illustration sees what happens when so much time in isolation gets you creative with jazzing up your dressing gown for a stroll around the block.  You'll need a feather duster, a tea cosy and some creativity.   A thick slurry of flour and water with deft weaving should hold your aspirations together long enough to return home with some feathers ruffled but hopefully all intact.  And in the words of Vincent Van Gogh, 'What is done in love is done well.'  So no matter what the world brings, let's focus on love.  And on that note ...

Happy Fashionable, Sustainably-Sourced Feathered Friday to you!

 Happy Friday, my deer!  

If there's something we can count on along with turning up toes and taxes, it's Audrey Hepburn for a beautiful quote.  And her love of animals.

So let's keep things short and sweet today and let this illustration and quote have their say.  Because "the best thing to hold onto in life is each other."  Well, that and your skirt on a windy day.  And on that note ...

Happy Furry Friends Friday to you!

Fashionable Friday: Lilac, Ladurée and Fluffballs

Trans-seasonal dressing is a blessing for those of us who like to sit on the fence.  I confess, I'm can be a fence sitter.  It's not that I don't have strong opinions ~ it's just that they can change with the weather.  And I can see so many different points of view.  Both a blessing and a curse ~ or is it just that I'm unable to decide?

Anyhoo, in honour of both 'hemis' of the sphere moving between summer and winter, let's team a lovely, soft, cashmere cardigan with a skirt that flows around us on a gossamer fairy cloud, in a suitably nebulous shade of lilac ~ or is it lilacish grey ~ or perhaps dusty aubergine ?  {You can imagine the hell I go through choosing a wall colour.}  Our kitty and Frenchie have no such concerns.  They are merely willing us to stop fluffing around and open that hat box-sized serving of Ladurée macarons.  In keeping with the vague nature of today's illustration and post, it has every flavour you can imagine.  Hours of indecision await.  And on that note ...

Happy Fashionable Friday Fluffiness to you !

Paris Daydreams : Agent Violet at Le Meurice

9.3.15

Today's Paris fashion illustration is inspired by this image from the Le Meurice hotel to mark Paris fashion week.

Show me a trench coat and I see a detective ~ or a secret agent.  I inevitably google up kickboxing and martial arts classes when I'm home after a night wearing one.  Then the espresso wears off and I do yoga instead.  Maybe I can catch a potential adversary off guard with a sudden Lord of the Dance pose in the meantime.

Agent Violet, on the other hand, has mastered the art of disarming with a glance instead.  I like her style.  She has some openings for apprentices ~ do we have any takers?  And on that note ...

Happy Paris daydreams to you !

Venerdi in Venice: Flirting with Lilac Frills

17.8.14

{Lilac Frills in Venice : ink pen, pencil, watercolour illustration by Shell-Sherree}

Ciao!  Patience is a virtue ~ and Saints preserve us, thank heavens I have some very virtuous Venice-loving souls amongst you. {Bless your fuzzy loyal hearts!} 

It's a glorious day for lilac frills and the clink of glasses lending a splish-splash of prosecco to echo the lapping canal below.  Let us twirl.  And on that note ...

Happy Venerdi in Venice to you!
