So today my sister and I officially embarked on a 3 month work/travel excursion… We were sad to go but excited to spend the week in Boulder with friends before we head to the great outdoors… Here is a little sketch i did on the plane from Phoenix to Denver… US Vogue has really been a disapointment to me lately :( but this editorial shot by Mario Testino was captivating… Blake Lively sure is gorgeous!

Hello Julia Restoin-Roitfeld! LOVE OBSESSION with her style. If you don’t recognize her name, here is a bit about this beauty… to start, she is the daughter of French Vogue editor Carine Roitfeld. Tom Ford hand picked her to be the face of his fragrance Black Orchid. Now she is working with Jil Sander on Jil fragrance and with designer Emilio de la Morena. In addition to modeling she is a muse, socialite, and creative director… oh yeah! she went to parsons too (i die) Her style is smart, tailored and sexy… she definitely knows what she is doing.
“Some people think that clothes are just things that you wear to cover yourself but I’m blown away because clothes to me are a sort of new pop art. Clothes can be either art or design but need a real purpose.” – Julia Restoin-Roitfeld

From two quintessentially American designers, it’s a mix of le smoking androgyny and feminine fluidity (ralph lauren & tommy hilfiger)
Taking everything in stride, she exemplifies resiliency and fearless individuality, recalling the effortless style of a true trailblazer Lauren Hutton. (Marc Jacobs & Behnaz)
It assumes a casual attitude – a toss it on coat, a slouchy top (note the kangaroo sweatshirt pocket), loose pants (gathered at the ankle like athleticwear) – but luxe threads make it chic too. (DKNY, Club Monaco, Victor Glenaud, Odin New York)
The New Generation- With the idealism of postwar expats, talents like Phillip Lim and Alexander Wang are imbuing the tradition of clean American sportswear with youth and energy. (Phillip Lim & Alexander Wang)
