Medusa

Happy Halloween! Yes, we may be one day early here in Australia but just like the little engine that could we've finally started to adopt the ghoulish traditions of America. It only took us, what- several decades??

I could've drawn a witch, a black cat, or even a Sexy Pizza Rat (yes, that actually exists- see below). But I went with Medusa because any girl who can turn a man into stone with one look deserves an illustrated homage.

Proof that adults have seriously forgotten how to celebrate Halloween. :(

Retro Swimwear

Two of the hardest things to shop for as I'm sure most girls can attest to are jeans and swimwear. So in another attempt to draw what I don't have and doubt I will ever find in Brisbane- here is a sunny yellow floral bikini! 

I don't think the high waisted trend would look good on me, but I was feeling the Bridget Bardot vibe here so I ran with it.

Hmong Bags

I've finally found a name for the bags I've been seeing everywhere and have fallen in love with- Hmong bags. A design originating in the Hmong hill tribes of Thailand, these bags really appeal to me with their vibrant colours, intricate design work, and of course their pom poms!

I intend to be taking one of these bad boys with me everywhere I go this summer.

Classic

The perfect red lipstick is one of those beauty classics I'm still trying to get right. While I might not have found my own waxy red soulmate yet, I'm sure 'the one' exists for me out there.. somewhere.
