My New YouTube Channel! ♡

Hello everyone! I have some great news. I decided to start a YouTube channel to go along with this blog! My first video was uploaded yesterday about my first collection and the fabric swatches to go along with it. Subscribe to my YouTube if you want to see more fashion-related videos. I'm not really sure what I'm going to post on there yet so any suggestions would be appreciated!

You can watch my video here!

New Designs ♡

I've drawn two new designs recently and I wanted to share them. I'm still working on drawing the fashion figure but I think I've improved a lot compared to when I first started. 

                               

I drew this one in my new sketch pad and I didn't end up coloring it. I think it actually looks okay the way it is, so I think I'll just leave it without color. I wanted to try something new with styling so I just out little bows in the side ponytail and I'm pretty happy with how this turned out :D

                             

I really like blue and pink together so that's what inspired me to draw this one. If I could actually make this outfit(hopefully I'll have my machine by the end of the summer so I can start learning) I think I would wear it a lot. :D

New Designs and Drawings ♡

Hello everyone! I've been busy these past couple of weeks and haven't been able to post, but I've resolved to post on Tuesdays and Fridays again. ^_^

For today's post, I thought I would just share my recent designs and drawings with you. These are also posted on my Instagram, @claire.fashion if you would like to follow me on there! ♡

^ this one is inspired by Frankie Stein from Monster High.

Tsukasa from one of my favorite animes, Lucky Star!

I drew this one based off of the avatar I made of myself on the "faceq" app.

I hope you enjoyed looking at my sketches!! I feel like I'm improving with each one I draw.

Bubbly ♡

Happy Friday! ♡

This is a design I completed a few weeks ago. I thought it would be cute to incorporate bubbles into a dress! I was inspired by Lady Gaga's bubble dress. 

I hope you like it! I'd love to hear some feedback!

Designer Spotlight - Lilly Pulitzer ♡

Happy Friday!! I hope you've had an awesome week.♡

This Friday I'm going to be talking about one of my favorite fashion designers of all time, Lilly Pulitzer. She had a truly unique view on the whole art of fashion design, and her illustrations are instantly recognizable because of the bright colors, beach themes, and animal themes. 

I love the story of how Lilly got into the fashion design world. When she move to Palm Beach Florida, she opened a juice stand. Working at the juice stand and squeezing fruit got a lot of stains on her clothes. So, Lilly designed her classic sleeveless shift dress with bright and colorful fabric to hide the stains. When she wore this dress to work, she got a lot of compliments on the dress she had designed. Lilly then began making more of these dresses and selling them at her juice stand!! Of course, she ended up selling more dresses than juice, so Lilly changed her career interests to design. And ta-da, Lilly Pulitzer Inc. was founded in 1959!! 

Here is a Lilly shift dress. It's absolutely adorable, and there are so many styles and prints to choose from on the Lilly Pulitzer website(if you can afford them that is. i just stare at them and wish they weren't over $100 each. still cute though.)

Now I'm just gonna put some of my favorite Lilly quotes:

And of course:
