FRIDAY FIX: ICE CREAM

It's Friday! It's sunny! It's time for ice cream people! Lovely creamy whippy from an ice cream van or the hard scoop dairy kind which comes in amazing flavours! Super lovely for a summer's afternoon in the garden, park or beach. It's making me want to just draw ice creams! Oohh lovely weekend project there then! Hope you're all having a fantabulous Friday, really hope you all get out in the sunshine this weekend too, wherever you are, whatever you're doing! What's your favourite ice cream? Maybe it's a hard scoop whippy combo oooh! ♥

Happy Saturday lovelies! Hope you're all having a relaxing weekend! I wanted to share with you some illustrated lovelies before I get snuggled down to watch a Saturday afternoon film (Saturdays are for super cool films like The Lost Boys, Super 8, retro Disney) They are all available as prints in my etsy shop to hang on pink bedroom walls, or keep you company in your studio. I know there's two of Lana Del Rey but you gotta love her. Have you listened to Born To Die yet? #amaze

I'm working on some more loveliness at the moment which involves some of my favourite tv shows, more on that probably over at my blog soon! What are you enjoying watching lately? ♥ 

Out & About: Go Figure: New Fashion Illustration Exhibition at the LCF

This looks like a great exhibition, featuring Lesley Barnes, friend of T&C; amongst other amazing fashion illustrators. 'Ligaya Salazar, contemporary curator at the Victoria & Albert Museum, follows on from her celebrated retrospective of Yohji Yamaoto’s career with this exhibition at London College of Fashion’s Fashion Space Gallery.'

"The exhibition brings together more than sixty works from thirteen different fashion illustrators who work in a variety of media, from the digital to the hand-drawn via the physical. Each of these illustrators comes from a very different background, from fashion design, photography to animation. We wanted to reflect what is really going on in the field rather than get caught up in a debate around which way of making is better than another way."

Featured illustrators:
Richard Kilroy
Artaksiniya
Tara Dougans
Hanna Mueller
Jarno Kettunen
Rosie McGuinness
Zoya Smirnova
Lesley Barnes
Cristian Grossi
Laura Laine
Ingela Och V
Eugenia Alejos
Sabine Pieper

FRIDAY FIX: FRESH FLOWERS

images: weheartit

This month I'm totally loving flowers, fresh ones that sit prettily outside florists, market stalls, people's tiny gardens along our terraced street, wild ones in urban locations, fragrant ones that colour the local parks. I bought some not so long ago and they lasted ages and made me feel much better in a matter of seconds. I've also been planting some in our own little garden this week so I'm hoping pretty soon they will come out and say hello. I love the fact you can take inspiration from them, rooms can be brightened up with the smallest vase (or tea cup, or even jam jar) of flowers, they're super pretty in your hair, I love to draw them and their amazing colours are what we copy for pastel coloured clothes and even rad locks. So cheers, flowers! You're pretty cool.

What are you lovelies up to this weekend? Hope it's gonna be a nice one where we can all sit out in the sunshine and enjoy an ice lolly (or two!) <3 Natasha xx
