The fondness blooms

I've been flipping through my ever-growing collection of Vogue recently.
I find that no matter what my mood is at the time, as soon as I pick up one of these books I find myself inspired and a quiet happiness consumes me with each turn of the page.
God, I love it. I fear though that I will soon need to make another trip to Ikea for a new bookcase solely to house my magazines...

In between life and other drawings I have started working on my Codie Young inspired piece, I'm super excited about this one and can't wait to finish it - thank goodness for 2 days grace.

Now for my most recent, influenced by my readings and by my new purchase: a jumpsuit from ASOS...

A day in the city is always inspiring

What a great day.

I love travelling into the city. I never used to. I used to find it scary and distressing. Now, all that is gone and I just find everything so fascinating and new.

I observed a girl today with cowboy ankle boots, a yellow rugby vest over the top of a fabulous cream fringed dress and she looked superb! I love it; the people, the fashion, the antics, the entertainment - it makes my day every time.
After work, I wandered over to the newsstand thinking I might as well buy a magazine for the bus ride home, and as usual, I chose Vogue. Normally I stick to the British or French editions but when I saw Codie Young grace the cover of the Australian issue I couldn't resist...plus it came with a super cute bag.

Later as I was walking down to the bus station - feeling quite happy about my day and my awesome score - the idea for my next project started to swirl around in my head; inspired by the city, and of course, Codie will be my muse - it seems only fitting.
