Love of New Website

Hello!

To anyone who is looking at this blog, I want to say that I have fallen in love!! The name of my new favorite website is called Black Girls Killing It, www.blackandkillingit.com.  It shows African American women with numerous shapes and size ranges showing their love of fashion, and their true style.  For anyone who is looking for a style change, I recommend this site.  The garments worn are designer, hand made, discount, etc.  No matter what it is, the women style it and make it effortless.

I was amazed at all of the garments I had seen, and how well they were put together.  I suggest that you please look at this website, follow them on Twitter and Instagram @BGKIonline, and look for their page on Facebook.

Hot!!!

 So, I went to Belk today in Tupelo, MS.  While looking around I was mesmerized by this picture.

I was really mesmerized by the detail of the back of the shirt (I apologize for how blurry the shirt is.  It happened when I tried to blow up the picture).

Although I am not flat enough at the top to wear this, I especially loved this suit.

That was my day and inspiration for today.  Happy day and inspiration to you.

New Project

Hello again!!

So, as I stated before, I love all things art and fashion, which is why I made it my career choice.  I am working on a new project to try and keep myself updated in the fashion world until I find my job as an assistant or associate designer, or until I start my own fashion empire.  This new project that I am doing is a 12 look womenswear business casual collection.  It is inspired from vintage menswear golf and tennis apparel.  For the people who have no idea what I am talking about, here are some examples:

I have found two new websites that I have absolutely fallen in love with, which I found these pictures from.  One website is called foxhuntmenswear.blogspot.com.  This is a menswear blog site and they have different pictures of vintage golf apparel from the 1920s and 30s that are amazing. They also have pictures of many current menswear trends.  The other website is called pret-a-putter.tumblr.com.  This is a womenswear blog site dedicate to women golfers who want the vintage golf attire, but more feminine and sexy.  With all of the research that I have found, I created many different looks for this collection.  

The project is not colored yet, but  when it is finished, I will put it on my website for public view. Enjoy the rest of your day.

NYC

Although I am not a New Yorker, I love this picture!

I saw this in Ross as well.  As you can see, there were many portraits and paintings that inspired me when I was in the store today.  I pray that I am working here as a fashion designer very soon!

Hello World!!!

The name of this blog is All About Fashion.  My name is not important.  I am a freelance fashion designer/illustrator.  I have always been a lover of art and fashion.  Since I was a little girl, I can remember sketching the latest fashion trends, drawing unique vintage photos, and drawing different objects.  My drawing talent comes from God; I can not explain how I obtained my drawing abilities.  I am the only person in my family who knows how to illustrate, and because I cannot explain where it comes from, the only person who gave it to me is God, so He gets the glory.

The reason I created this blog for the following reasons:

• to show what inspires me 
• to show the messages and images that make me a stronger designer and person
• to show different techniques to achieve a great fashion illustration

As an artist/fashion designer, you get inspiration from anywhere.  For example, there were a number of things in my life that was not going as planned, which made me return to my hometown.  I visited Ross store in a nearby town, and I came across this portrait

Although I could not get this portrait at the moment, I had to snap this picture of it.  Although I am not where I should be, I am not giving up! 

I will be posting many things that inspire me, but in the meantime, if you would like, you may follow me on Twitter: @irRHOplaceable.  Thank you and I look forward to inspiring you too!
