♥ we live not according to reason, but according to fashion.

in fourth grade i had the opportunity to get into an art program called "ace."
i was asked to draw a shoe. any shoe. for some reason i attempted to draw
the most complicated looking shoe from my mother's closet.
i was not accepted. the what ifs still haunt me to this day.
"sami chu" could very well have been the next jimmy choo.


i have been following janelle burger for a while and really admire her
ability not only to capture gorgeous shoes, but also fashion models.
visit her etsy shop here. read her blog here.

these mixed media fashion illustrations from nicomazza etsy shop
include real swatches of vintage fabric. what a fabulous way to combine
all of my favorite things! L.O.V.E!!
(spotted here.)

  10. unfortunately, i did not draw any of these, and do not have the remains of my failed shoe! i think i better stick to writing about fashion rather than attempting to draw it.
