Liz modeling look of the day

Here is a picture of me in front of my car that my son took a few days ago. I am wearing my new high-heel sandals by Calvin Klein, and my purse is from Liz Claiborne. The skirt is a local thrift store find. My car is a 2004 Mazda RX-8 and I get lots of compliments on it. People even give me the thumbs-up when I'm riding around in it!

Artsy fashion

I discovered some great artsy clothes with a ballerina-style twist. It is called Ouma Clothing and can be found at ouma.etsy.com or oumaclothing.com. The website at oumaclothing is one of the best I've seen with some great photos and animation. Check out some photos from their site!

Rodarte knits Fall 2008

These are from the Rodarte fall 2008 collection. Definitely not your grandmother's knits! I would love to try to make something like this, but it would be hard to make it look this good!

Beautiful flower photos

I took some photos in my neighborhood this weekend of flowers. Here are some of the better ones.

Self portrait

I have never drawn or painted a self portrait, but I thought it might be interesting to try. I took some photos of myself and picked some of the better ones. Which one do you think is best?

Rock chick style

I was looking on the internet for some pictures today that I might use as inspiration for some drawings over this weekend. I'm definitely in the mood to draw some rock-inspired drawings and here are some of the pictures I found.

Frye shoes

Here are some really cool platform shoes that i got from Frye shoes a few months ago. I've never seen anyone else wearing a pair like them!

Fiona Maclean fashion illustrator

I discovered an Australian fashion illustrator on the internet that i really like, named Fiona Maclean. Check out some of her work.

Calvin Klein shoes

I saw these shoes in a fashion magazine and I couldn't believe they were actually in my price range. The leather is extremely soft, and they are comfortable for heels. I highly recommend them!

Stockholm Street fashion from Face Hunter

Plaid Skirt Vogue pattern

Here is a skirt that I made from a Vogue pattern. It has a really cool shaping the I tried to capture in these photos.

Sports Illustrated Swimsuits

I'm not usually a big fan of sports, nor am I a regular reader of Sports Illustrated magazine. However, I am always looking through magazines for great poses to draw, and I noticed that there are many beautiful photos to choose from in the latest swimsuit issue. I noticed that they also have a great selection of photos on their website that was not used in the magazine. Here's some that I thought might be good for practicing my fashion illustration drawing skills.
