Fashion Illustration Adoration - Kerrie Hess


...a divinely talented fashion illustrator whose work has graced 'countless book covers' and whose drawings have used by the likes of Chanel, Alexander McQueen, Christian Louboutin, and L'Avion.
As well, Hess can list Neiman Marcus, Vogue, Stella and Dot, Bare Essentials and net-a-porter as member of her very accomplished client list...one hell of a resume I'd say.

I fell instantly in love with Hess' portfolio- it's full of chic feminine charm.

See...





Her talent in undeniable and I've found myself completely hypnotized by her work.
Luckily, you and I can actually see/own a little bit of this goreosity because the best news of the day is that Kerrie has now released a book...and PS, it's chalk full of her amazing work.

Called....


the book is a stunning manual for living the lux life without breaking the bank...it's gives 101 tips for looking like a million bucks, even if you're not a bazillionaire.
Oh and the most fabulous part...it's full of Kerrie's brilliant illustrations...




that alone has catapulted this book to the top of my must have list...and thankfully since Meredith moved most of my living room reads to the kitchen, I need want some new books...Shoestring Chic will be mine!!!
{the book can be purchased through Amazon and is actually on sale right now- click HERE}

Oh and PS, I have a little secret that involves one of these gorgeous images...let's just say you might be seeing a lot more of one of these beauties in the not too distant future...cue my happy dance.

So yes, go buy Shoestring Chic...it's much much too pretty to pass up.
