Happy August!

Looking ahead... its ok to fall

Ok admit it, you recognize the catch phrase "its ok to fall" because you also love to hate spending 2 hours of your Monday nights watching the bachelorette. Don't you love how they all talk about falling in love so much that they've abbreviated it to simply "falling"?

But anyway, Fall the season is in full swing in every catalog, magazine, store window etc. Pretty much everywhere but actually outside. The high today will be 94. Yipeeeee makes me want to think about gloves! Not. But that is the reality we live with and so I am thinking about pea coats and boots long before I'll ever want to wear them...

good afternoon

Just a little red dress on a Tuesday afternoon...

Sally! Bobby! Go watch tv.

I am SO EXCITED for Sunday. FINALLYYYYY the wait is over and Mad Men season 4 is here at last. I have been marathoning through season 3, it gets better every time.


I was looking at the French Vogue site today and they had a posting about the upcoming season paired with merchandise of today that has been inspired by the madmen era... their selections were priceless...

Really sums it up doesn't it? So... I think I'm going to have to start illustrating Betty's outfits every monday morning after the new episodes!

Ohhh february

Remember how I said I hate February? Well not only do I have to live through it every winter, but I also have to think about it every summer too when I create next year's calendar. I tried drawing this February girl this morning and somehow she turned out to be a bad illustrated cocktail of magician/Dracula/mime. God shes so creepy! The curse of this month lives on...

Out and about

So today I had a rare adventure out of Georgetown and into the real world during normal business hours. I'm happy to report it is still there. It made me wish I had better excuses to own a fabulous professional wardrobe like this girl. I suppose if I was sitting in a desk wearing a pencil skirt I'd probably wish I was at home in jean shorts... the grass is always greener right?

ps. I'm so excited you all like the birthday girl! I still don't know if I want to do flat or folded... I'm thinking BOTH!

pps. do you like the new header? is it too large? I got a little carried away
