The Pastel Triplets
I had a long play around in Photoshop today, and this is what I managed to come up with! I plan on making a few more like this - I think it turned out pretty cute.
I hope you like it too.

Blogs I like...Pastelbat
This is a blog I have only recently discovered but I already love it. Pastelbat describes her blog as a mixture of "cute and creepy" which is awesome! If you are interested in Lolita or Japanese inspired fashion, then I would definitely recommend stopping by. She always has the most amazing outfits, with a great collection of patterned tights - including the bat ones in my illustration. I really adore all of her accessories too - I think they make each outfit look extra unique and interesting.
I hope you'll all check out her blog!

Wildfox #2
The Wildfox blog is a continual source of inspiration for me. I love looking through Kim's photo's, and when I saw this, I knew I had to draw it! I think the model is called Amanda Booth, and they seem to feature her quite a lot lately. I'm sure many of you are big fans of Wildfox, so I hope you like this.

Giveaway!
(sorry about the quality of these photo's!)
In celebration of finally getting my new printer, I thought I would do a little giveaway for you guys! I am giving away this A4 print of my illustration 'Closer' - it is printed on archival matte paper, so the colours will stay vibrant (as long as you display it behind a glass frame). I will be re-launching my Etsy store soon, so there will be tons of other prints available.
If you want to enter this giveaway, then all you have to do is be a follower of this blog via GFC, and leave me a comment below. Make sure you leave your email address too!
I really hope that you will all enter, as it is open worldwide. It closes on the 20th June.
Edit: I just joined Hellocotton, so if you follow me via there, you can enter too!

Glitter Detector Giveaway Win!
A couple of weeks ago I was lucky enough to win Marta's awesome giveaway over at her blog Glitter Detector. Marta is a really lovely girl, so I would definitely recommend checking out her blog. I won this lovely OCC Lip Tar, and it's the first one I've ever tried.
I chose the shade Grandma, which is a bright pinky-coral type shade. I think this product will last for ages, because you only need the smallest amount when you apply. The staying power is also amazing, so I would thoroughly recommend the Lip Tars.
I'd like to thank Marta for hosting such a generous giveaway, and I hope that you will all check out her blog!

Roses are red...
I thought I would post about something a little different today. Seeing as Titanic has just been re-released in 3D, I decided to watch it again, and the first thing that impressed me was the costume and accessory designs. I especially loved Rose's dragonfly hair comb, so I thought I would have a little look online for some similar pieces.
I came across a lovely jewellery shop called Roses are Red. They stock all sorts of things from necklaces to bracelets, and each design has a vintage feel.
I also managed to find these amazing hair combs, reminiscent of the Edwardian/Victorian era, and they are just gorgeous. I really like the attention to detail, and I think they would be ideal for wearing to a wedding or party.
The prices are also very reasonable with these hair combs coming in at £7.50 and £8.50. Roses are Red are even offering a 10% discount on you first order!
I hope you'll all check out the website!
