I Can See You

I have been searching for a Lucite chair for years! I finally found one last weekend at Homegoods. When I walked into the store, it literally was the first thing I saw, it just spoke to me. This was it, this was the Lucite chair of my bedroom dreams. I immediately placed it into my cart and headed to the cashier.  I purchased it for $100, which was a pretty good deal, since these usually run over $100.

                           
       
                                                               CHAIR  DETAILS

                                  
I've seen many Lucite chairs at stores and online, but I wanted one that had some character. My favorite part about this chair besides the clear factor, is the back. I love.. the scalloped curves, and tiny beaded detailing. I added a white faux fur pillow, also from  Homegoods for $16. You can find these pillows at Target, Marshalls, One kings lane, and various other retailers. 


                                             ABOUT HOMEGOODS

   Homegoods is a store that sells trendy, one of a kind interior pieces, they don't display the items they carry online, since some pieces come from various department stores, and their merchandise changes everyday. Unfortunately, you can't shop Homegoods online (I know.. I wish that would change), but you can follow them on Pinterest, Instagram, and twitter. Homegoods has a category on their site called Customer Finds, that allows shoppers to post their Homegoods purchases, and share their decorating styles.

Meeting with Karl


Georgia is currently under a winter storm watch, so I'm underneath the covers with my sketch pad. I was pondering what my next piece should be, when it hit me! What would a Millennial Fashion Socialite, Blogger, or Designer, wear to a business meeting with Karl Lagerfeld

So my inspiration for this sketch, was a lunch date with Karl. When meeting, or attending a function dedicated to a designer, it's polite to wear a piece from their collection. Therefore, my model is donning a black tweed Chanel suit, an immediate classic. Black goes with everything, it's sleek, elegant, Parisian, and very Karl. On the jacket's pockets and sleeves, I added a white tweed trim, carrying it onto the skirt's pockets. I paired the ensemble with patent leather ankle boots, and gave her a chic,  put together, top knot!  What do you think? Would Karl love it? 

My inspiration: Chanel Ready -to-Wear
       

A pair for you and me!


                                     There are shoes, and then there are THESE SHOES...
               

                     
 Chanel can never go wrong in my book, and when I spotted these stunners on Pinterest, I immediately pinned them on my board. Of course, I had to sketch them out too! I love the Chanel C's in between the heel, so genius! I plan on adding these to my closet one day, but for now they are in my sketch pad lol. What do you think? Don't forget to follow me on Pinterest at Bdarielle

Photo Op

 For my latest creation, I wanted to express the lifestyle of a Fashion Enthusiast, whether she's a blogger, a photographer, or an editor. I get inspiration from the street style post, that flood our Instagram and Pinterest. I literally can be up all night scrolling street style, I'm addicted. So I decided to portray that lifestyle into my illustration. 



 Here's my little photographer in her faux or real, (whatever you'd prefer) fur coat, wearing black skinnies, with her Chanel Boy Bag, adorned with a bag charm, and pounding the pavement in trendy lace up flats. What do you think? 


BRAVO BALMAIN NATION!

At just 29, Olivier Rousteing has taken the fashion industry by storm, thanks to social media, a massive celeb following, and of course his talent & passion to unify the industry. I must say, he's doing a superb job. His hashtag, #BALMAINNATION has taken over social media like embellishments on a Balmain blazer.


On Tues night, his highly anticipated Balmain X H&M collection was revealed at a star studded launch party on Wall Street. The event included garments with embellishments galore, dances, music from The Backstreet Boys (I'll get to that awesome moment in a sec) & much more.

                                                             newyorktimes.com

Balmain "It" girls, Kendall Jenner, Jourdan Dunn, Gigi Hadid, & Karlie Kloss strutted their Baroque inspired pieces down the runway, while onlookers such as, Alexa Chung & of course, Kendall's lil sis Kylie observed. Each piece showcased the designer's attention to detail, with his placement of each stud, pearl, gold trim, & sequin.

                                                                THE AFTER PARTY

Once the last model made her exit, attendees were soon given an epic performance from one of Olivier's faves, The Backstreet Boys! Nick, Brian, Howie, Kevin, & AJ, arrived in true Backstreet style, down a flight of steps, while decked out in Balmain X H&M. They performed three of their many hits, while models, fashion bloggers, designers, etc completely lost it.

FYI: This was not a BSB "reunion'' they've been together 20+ yrs, never broke up, plus they JUST ended a world tour. That's pretty amaze.

 I decided to dump my purse out, & channel my inner Annie Leibovitz for 15 minutes. These bag layouts aka flatlays, are all..over Instagram & I'm addicted to them. I truly see them as an art form. 
Whenever I take flatlay pics, I question my sanity for a second lol. Im thinking, "Am I really standing on top of my bed, taking pics of what's in my bag?" 
At the end of the day, everyone isn't going to understand the beauty of fashion photography. But the end result is well worth it! If you haven't tried a flatlay pic, I highly recommend it for your own fashion portfolio! 
                 
What's in my bag details: Handbag: Prada Mini Saffiano  Contents: Carven Le Parfume, Mascara: Rimmel London Mascara, Wallet: Marc Jacobs  Lip gloss & Cosmetic Case: Chanel, my grandmother's cross pendant, & car keys.
