Happy Derby Day

Wishing each of you a Happy Derby Day.  I created this work for J.McLaughlin on thursday and friday it was posted to the J.McLaughlin facebook, talk about fast!  Hope each of you enjoy the Derby in style and sip a mint julep in honor of My Old Kentucky Home.  Question, horse-shoe up or down?

Sermo per Equus

Join J.McLaughlin for a cocktail reception celebrating Fashion & the Arts today from 6 - 8 at the Westport Store.  The "Sermo Per Equus" series of photographs by Bonnie Edelman will be on display amongst Autumn Fashions.  A percentage of the Event's proceeds will be donated to Pegasus Therapeutic Riding.

news bureau

I really love bureaus that hold lots of treasures tucked inside.

Especially ones that include my illustrations!

J.McLaughlin has added these collages to the revamped web site.

Garment racks full of fun

Does your bureau or business use photography or illustration to spread good news?

Thank-you to each of you for taking time out of your day to stop here.

Your faith in me is a great motivator.

A special thanks goes out to one of my very special sponsors, J.McLaughlin.

I first began illustrating for J.McLaughlin when they had three shops, now there are 40 plus stores

ladies and gentleman

I love hearing about store openings, especially during this new economy and I really love opening an invitation to come shop and seeing my illustration front and center. If you happen to find yourself in Manhattan on the upper east side, pop in to the newly opened J.McLaughlin Ladies and Gentleman's stores on 72nd street. Shopping is good for the economy, right?

lucky lauren

Congratulations to lucky Lauren-

aka "Aspiring Kennedy" - She was randomly selected to win the JMcLaughlin tote. Please congratulate Lauren and send her a "cheers" as she moves to Oxford today. Lauren, let me know where to send your orange tote. Lauren's lifestyle blog inspired by Norheastern privilege will soon be inspired with a British accent.

Wishing you all the best in England.

Summer and shorts seem to go together. So, tell me - do you wear shorts and what kind of shorts? Love to hear your comment, keep it short and sweet.

collars up

pve design illustration - for JMcLaughlin Fall Advertisement

"Collars up" ~ This fine gal is sporting a fun casual fall look - a shirt with the collars "popped' - a boyfriend vest in merino wool and a generous "Aken" tote constructed of wool felt billiard cloth. Grosgrain ribbon touches give a fun preppy accent to a gingham shirt. My illustration was in Quest Magazine for J.McLaughlin.

Do you wear your collars popped or not?
