Skull-tastic

Being a freelance illustrator can be a lonely job.
My average day is spending 10 hours in front of the tv with my pens and paper.
Haha life is hard :P
During these 10 hours I watch LA Ink, Miami Ink and London Ink back to back, and looking at my fashion posts I can see the tattooing world is rubbing off on me!
I want skulls on EVERYTHING!!

Animal Instincts

I keep reading how animal print is a new trend, but I swear its been in for at least 7 years! I remember being a little emo kid and rocking out to Fall Out Boy in my leapord print shoes! Anyways, to me leapord print never gets old!

Nailed it

My hands are not only my trade but things I love to decorate.
All my rings are vintage and given to me by important people in my life and I wear 7 silver bracelets all given to me by my mum.
For some reason painting my nails really relaxs me, my favourite nail varnish is called 'Happy Birthday' by Deborah Lippmann, it costs a fortune but its sparkles are adictive!

Cozy day in

My favourite thing to wear when in the studio all day is a HUGE 80s jumper dress. I own waay to many of these but I never stop getting excited by them!

Smart Sequins

I keep day dreaming about having a full time job as an illustrator for a company and what I would wear to work everyday. Hopefully one day soon this outfit will be living its dreams!

Scandinavian Warmth

This outfit keeps me warm on a winter day out. I bought this jacket a couple of years ago from a vintage shop called Armstrong's in Edinburgh, I think it was around £15, they are now hugely popular in lots of up market vintage stores and are selling for around £50, so I always chuckle when I see them!

Rocking Christmas

Now we are in January, I think this is probably the last time I can wear my amazing christmas jumper! I won this jumper last christmas in a competition from my absolute favourite vintage seller 'Rock Paper Vintage'. They sell the most amazing and individual vintage pieces straight out of New York.
