Living on the Fringe

My favorite trend this season is fringe.This fun trend can not only be found on the hemlines of dresses, skirts, and jackets but also on accessories including shoes, bags, and jewelry. 

Fringe was big on the runway for Spring 2016 at Fashion week with designers such as Givenchy, Rebecca Minkoff, and Alexander Wang. You can’t walk into a store without seeing it everywhere.

I love the drama and femininity of fringe and it’s so fun the way it moves and shimmies. If you’re not into drama you can still rock this trend in a more subtle way. Try a pair of fringy shoes with a simple dress. A fringy piece of jewelry is another subtle way of rocking this trend. 

I illustrated some of my favorite pieces that will allow you live on the fringe this season.  

What to Wear: Summer Edition

Summer is approaching and while Spring weather in New York has been less than desirable I’m optimistic that summer will not let me down (fingers crossed). Summer is my favorite season for fashion and my summer wardrobe is on deck and ready to go.

I look forward to ditching the coat and rain boots for light and airy sundresses and strappy sandals. My feet feel smothered by my boots and need some air. It’s time to free the pinky. I love the freedom of a strappy sandal and the ease of a sundress with no coat to lug around the city. 

I'm looking forward to fun outdoor summer activities including picnics in Central Park, rooftop parties, people watching while brunching outside and weekend getaways to the beach. With all of the fun activities you will need a wardrobe to go along. I illustrated some of my favorites for the summer season along with some photos to get you started with your summer wardrobe. 

Lets hope that summer weather is more promising. 

Welcome!

Welcome to Sketched in Style. I Illustrate the finer things in life and share them with you. As a fashion designer and illustrator living and working in New York City I wanted to have something to combine my two favorite things art and fashion so I created this blog.

What fine things will I be sketching?

I will be sketching fashion, beauty, trends, life in New York City and my travels beyond the big apple. In this blog I show you what is going on in the fashion world in a fun and new way, through illustration. It’s like a fashion magazine but I’m going old school before there was photography, iPhones, and Instagram and using illustration. Well mostly old school. There will be a mix of photos and illustration.

Some of my regular features will be how to wear the latest trends in fashion, trends in beauty, guides to New York neighborhoods and beyond, and illustrations straight from fashion week and the red carpet. I hope you enjoy my blog, learn something new and get inspired.
