Fashion for everyone

my jaw dropped when i received this enchanting illustration by artist julie nivert, who was inspired by this post. a peek at her blog revealed that this piece reflects a mere fraction of her talent. i'm so touched by the tribute!

this has been a crazy week over on mount glamouramous ~ thus the slowdown in posting. things should be back to normal before you know it, but in the meantime i thought i'd share a few of this week's hippest happenings...

• the glamourwrap launch was such a successful soiree! couldn't make it? not to worry: my newfound friend dreamsequins did a wonderful write-up on the revelry.
  

• i met laurakitty, a photo blogger who lives but a block from me and owns no less that 60 vintage ossie clark dresses! as a result, i experienced extreme jealousy, and now plan to infiltrate her apartment and execute epic thievery.
  

• need some craft-spiration to brighten up your dark winter days? i started a tumblr blog to keep track of all the DIY ideas i want to try.
  

• i attended a book party for photographer glen luchford, and fell madly in love with his elegant, emotive imagery.
  

• suddenly sucked into the virtual vortex that is ruelala, i've been on bargain-buying binges that begat marc jacobs cashmeres and wolford hosiery. email me {theglamourai@gmail.com} if you'd like an invitation to shop along!

~ how was your week? ~

the lovely + talented alice, of the art/blog/portfolio xAZD design, made the most charming pastel drawing of me, inspired by this post. i think she did an amazing job ~ i'm totally flabbergasted!

this piece is one of many beautiful works showcased on her stunning site. i love how alice and her two blogmates (all three are fashion students in new york) combine influences from art, fashion, and media in their work ~ one of my favorite examples being this collaged page from the new york times style section:

thank you xAZD!!!
