I'm beyond thrilled to be partnering this month, with one of my most favorite personal brands, Joie. Having worked in the fashion industry for several years, I always love when I have the opportunity to illustrate for fashion brands. Joie asked me to partner with me this Mother's Day to illustrate 14 lucky winners in time for the holiday {can you say adorable-fashion-coordinated families? #familystylegoals}. As a bonus, they also included me in their Mother's Day #JoieSundayGirl feature - I am in some great company, with other entreprenuer moms - who all make it look so easy! Take a look at the feature here! {Photos by the uber talented - and kind (!) - Lisa Versino}.
The Joie homepage featuring some really amazing mamas - I am left humbled and inspired. Once Baby N is born, I think I'll be channeling the spirit of these ladies who all make it look so easy!
Sitting in Baby N's nursery - I chose to decorate her walls with art I've collected over the years (mostly from our time in NYC), as well as some original fashion illustrations I sketched live at New York Fashion Week. As she gets older, I hope to replace with her own art!
Reading in our living room - one of my greatest obsessions? Three words. Coffee. Table. Books.
Soon to be a family of five (cat not pictured)!
More fashion sketches over Baby N's crib. The sketches were originally created as samples during a live illustration event in New York City. One of my favorite things, are handmade gifts. A best friend knitted the fun hot pink blanket, and chose a sparkly yarn for Baby Girl. Everyone needs a little sparkle!
My best friends surprised me with a shower during a girl's trip in California. The theme? Books and shoes! Each one gifted their favorite book as a chid, along with a pair of DESIGNER baby shoes (Jack Rogers, Chloe, Stuart Weitzman, and Versace, naturally). This lady already has a better closet than her mom!
Reading in the nursery. I wind down each evening by sitting in this room, and anticipating who Baby N will be.
Waiting for Baby!
38 weeks, and still going strong in the studio!
