wow, so pretty fashion collages

Everyone could use more beautiful mixed media art illustrations in their life.  That’s why when I came across artist NikyRoehreke’s work I felt it needed to be shared.  Niky uses watercolor, hand drawing and collage to create these amazingly fashionable art pieces that highlight her love of hands.  Roehreke is German/Japanese artist who graduated from the Central St Martins in London and now lives in my neck of the woods: good ole’ Brooklyn.  

Images and ideas c/o Trendland and Niky’s Website here.

ooh la la

What’s not to like about this spread styled by the oh-so-stylish The Glamouri? The colors, the dresses, the makeup: stunning.  Honestly, I’m completely in love.  For more detailed info about outfits, click here.

coming from the greats

You know if am always scouring the great world wide web to find the next big thing. So whenever I discover something great, I am disappointed I didn’t find it sooner (however still happy I found it).  Please allow me to introduce Infashuated, featuring up-and-coming artists, interviews, and inspiration, among many other things. Found these cutie quotes on the site. Check it out.

yeah, that's hot

You think it is hot outside, you are wrong. It is hot right here.  Yes, and you didn’t even have to leave the house. Imagine the sun radiating off your metallic wardrobe in the Peruvian desert.  This FGR exclusive photoshoot with beauty Nadja Bender is so steamy it makes the weather here in NY seem frosty.

Stay cool...

caitlin mcgauley, illustrator

Whimsical, feminine, and refined to perfection CaitlinMcGauley creates work that is lovely in every way. After reviewing many of her illustrations, it is clear she has a flair for jewelry, home décor, and flowers. We certainly have similar interests. After a career in textiles, McGauley now works from her Chelsea apartment and uses NYC streets and culture for inspiration.  I had to show you some of my favorite images I found of her work.  They were found all over the www, but mostly here on the artist’s website.

Hopefully this brightens this dreary day. Have a great loong weekend!
