Giveaway- from Jack Rogers and Dallas Shaw

As most of you know already, one of my clients is Jack Rogers, the go-to company for summer sandals. I have been doing illustrations for them for a few months now (for both twitter and facebook) , and I have to tell you that the inner prepster in me is dying for a pair of classic navajos.  I think that my personal favorite pair on the site are these Black Label navajos. I have seen both the brown and black in person and just don't know which I like more! 

And who doesn't love a little Shiny Sardinia Snake in their life.

I am so excited that the lovely ladies that I work with at Jack Rogers agreed to do a Giveaway today! 

The favorite in their office is currently this one: the Montecarlo Linen Navajo.  For a chance to win a pair of these Montecarlo's for yourself, comment below on what you love about Jack Rogers. Send us a tweet (@jackrogersusa & @dallasshaw01) for an extra entry! Good Luck from both of us.

A Blonde Moment

My job is unique. Today's project has me seeking images of very high fashion blondes.

Any favorite models or images?

In my home: Bungalow 5

I am in the process of furnishing my new town house so Bungalow 5 has been in my top searches these days. I was seeking out white side tables for the longest time. But, as you know I am "selective", so here were the requirements:

 White (I have brown furniture and like to mix things up)

 Rounded edges (my room is unique in shape. enough said),

 a drawer (must be able hide away my cell phone charger , bobby pins etc at night),

 and preferably a bottom shelf. Just because I love that in a table. More room to display items.

Found what I needed there after a suggestion via twitter- and it's been magic ever since. 

Here, Megan shows us how to simply style my Bunglaow 5 nightstand.

 I love the open middle, and shelf on the bottom so I can display my favorite items.

Monday Makeup inspiration

mac, L'Oreal, Guerlain

During a project last week, I was asked to do a few sketches of a "chic little backpack" ... which got me thinking- can backpacks be chic? I researched and I decided to share some of my finds from this project with you.  Found some cute ones, and they would be such a simple solution for moms on the go, or to bring along on a plane during your next trip.

 I think they'd be perfect for to pack some food in for the park, or a day trip to the zoo...

What are your thoughts? Could you pack any of these up or are you stuck on a traditional purse?

Theodora & Callum

It's an artist thing, I always love learning abut where designers find inspiration. Co-founders of Theodora & Callum, Stefani Greenfield and Desiree Gruber, draw their inspiration for the brand from their travels all over the world.

You know I am picky- and I love nearly every single scarf on the site:
