SUMMER RULE

"...be careful, be careless, be careful, be what you want to be."

-Carl Sandburg. Little Girl, Be Careful What You Say

As I feel summer settling in, these words ring true to me - I hear them as my motto for enjoying the summer.  Have fun.  Be a little careful.  Live the way you want to live.

MY PRETTY NEW SUMMER SKIRT

I had to have a new summer skirt; made of cotton, something easy.  After a few hours of hard work, the idea manifested!  And then, we took it to Chelsea.  We love summer dressing, Chelsea, and our oh-so-perfect Current/Elliott denim jacket.

JUST A WHITE SHIRT

 

It was a magazine shot that inspired this drawing.  I didn't know what about it I found inspiring when I first drew it, I only knew that I was drawn to it.  A conversation with a wonderful girl-friend, who shares a similar sensibility of girly-ness and love of pretty, revealed to me why we love it.  We love it because it depicts what our free selves want to feel and be like: simple, pure, and lovely.
