I snapped a photo of myself for the comparison...

my sketch, pretty rad huh?

I had seen that the fashion illustrator Richard Haines was going to be at m0851 tonight to celebrate their 1st Anniversary and to do quick black & white sketches of the guests. Fresh off the plane I grabbed my camera and headed down to the event which was held at their pretty shop on 59th and the corner of Madison. It was such a sweet group of people with super cool style, and I got to meet Richard which was amazing! I check his blog (What I Saw Today) regularly and have always been fascinated by fashion illustration so meeting him and being sketched was awesome. m0851 has some beautiful leather bags and jackets as well! I actually ended up getting this really gorgeous chocolate brown leather clutch (I almost went for the dark red but a few boys standing near by steered me away from it, thanks guys) and it goes perfectly with my beat up brown leather motorcycle jacket. I'm so happy I went even though I was exhausted! Now off to bed.. Sweet dreams x

Rainy Monday, Hartville, Ohio

While rummaging through my dad's Chevy pick-up I found these

sunglasses (sorry dad, keeping them) and also found this

pretty, vintage white silk blouse at a local shop.

I don't know why but the Mickey Mouse bananas made me happy.

These boxes also reminded me of this really cool photograph I

had found on another blog that I'll have to post...

Found it! I love this watch, it has much more character

than the gold Michael Kors watch that everyone has.
