Frills 'n' Spills

You may have seen that Simply Be have been asking bloggers to share their 'real moments'- those times where life doesn't go as planned and have turned them into personalised illustrations. You can see mine (by the very talented Alison Hansen) above, isn't it ace?! I recently bought yet another red dress (it was called Maria, how could I resist?!) and I was trying to smuggle it into my wardrobe without Mark noticing but my plan was foiled when an avalanche of clothes fell on top of me, making a huge noise in the process. They asked for my favourite outfit to illustrate and although it was difficult to narrow down, this little lacy dress is a firm favourite, whatever I am doing!

This was such a fun campaign to be involved in and I loved seeing all of the other illustrations- definitely check the #simplybereal hashtag out on Twitter! 

P.S. Simply Be commissioned this illustration for me but I received no payment for this post.

One of the best things about being a blogger is finding new blogs to read and thanks to Sherin I have a new favourite: Inslee Sketches. This insanely talented illustrator has some gorgeous work and I sat and read her blog back to the beginning as I was absolutely in love with her sketches and illustrations. 

I could have featured every single one of her beautiful illustrations but I narrowed it down to a few favourites, I clearly like illustrations of pretty girls in dresses!  I have taken all these images from the Inslee blog which you should really check out!

Do you like fashion illustrations? Have you discovered any new blogs recently?

P.S. I thought that this would be some light relief from my (rather heavy) post on Friday, thank you for all your lovely comments, they really made me think!
