Purple

The prompt word for last week's drawing challenge from The Tuesday Collective on Instagram was 'purple' so I chose to draw this beautiful silk dress from ME+EM. I gave my model a choppy black bob and a cheeky grin.

This beautiful iris dress is made of silk which gives it a fluid, flattering drape. It's maxi in length and has a shirred waist and voluminous balloon sleeves.

Look up close and you will see it has a fabulous floral print in a deep shade of red. I wouldn't normally put these two colours together but they look great!

 

Prince, here I come!

Anyone who has known me for a while will know what a massive Prince fan I was back in the day. Me and my friend Katharine spent a summer in our late teens chasing him around London in my little red mini and if any of my friends got a lift in the mini, they were subjected to Prince songs back to back. 

It appears that I will be reliving those days (no doubt in a slightly more toned down way) with Katharine, my partner in crime. This Friday we are heading to Leeds to see him in concert!!!!!!! I am so excited and to celebrate, I have added this purple clutch to my store - Prince's favourite colour.

The fabric was featured as a Fave Fabric Friday piece a few weeks ago and seems very fitting as the latest addition to my collection.

Purple passion

I've just added this rather juicy kimono clutch bag to my Etsy store. I love the vibrancy of the purple ground and decided to complement it with a deep turquoise lining.
