The Lovely Audrey Hepburn
I asked my intern, Natalie, what she would like me to paint for her blog & in a second she responded with, “Audrey Hepburn!” Sign me up, because I’m a huge fan. I was delighted.
Here’s one of the best quotes ever by the lovely lady:
“I believe in pink. I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner. I believe in kissing, kissing a lot. I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day and I believe in miracles.” -Audrey Hepburn
So lively, so classy, so fun! Netflix “Funny Face”- it’s one of my favorite movies in the world. You won’t be disappointed.
And check out Natalie’s Audrey-Lovin’ here! xoxo

My mess of a drawing table after a day of painting, September 27, 2011
And this is the cleanest part of my studio right now! The rest of it is a creative tornado of photo reference, collage materials & piles of new art. I just wanted to update you all on some upcoming projects…I’ve got a few T-shirt designs in the works, I’ll be selling original art & prints in my Etsy store very, very soon and lots & lots of new Rock The Runway art will be unveiled! Stay tuned! xoxo

"Glam Metal", Gucci S/S 2012
Shine on! Apparently inspired by classic New York skyscrapers, this collection is super elegant, yet tough at the same time- total rock & roll glam! I’m in love. xoxo

"Lacy Day", Anna Sui S/S 2012
It’s no secret I’m a huge fan of Anna Sui, but a collection inspired by Antonio Lopez? Be still, my beating heart! Lots of lace & feathers & nylons & sass. I’m all over this one! xoxo

"Peaches and Gleam!", Jenny Packham S/S 2012
When I saw this shimmery, diaphanous dress, I just had to illustrate it! It’s so glam, yet so relaxed at the same time. And I adore the orange accents of the gorgeous model’s lips, nails & shoes! It brings it all together for one totally juicy look! xoxo

"Pink Slip!" Betsey Johnson S/S 2012
Betsey Johnson always brings the party & this look is no exception. These ruffled tiers are made for shimmying, and I love the neon pink bra teasing out from underneath. I know what I’m wearing out to my next 80s dance night! xo

The greens section of my palette is getting a workout this week! This Carolina Herrera dress is so fresh & flowy, yet super chic & cool at the same time. The black & yellow shiny belts bring it all together for a deliciously vibrant look! xoxo
