O.M.G. Love; Caitlin McGauley Illustration

So you all know

that I am a teensy bit obsessed with illustration.

I might compromise my morals

for a good watercolor.

Luckily my morals are lacking to begin with :)

I joke, but seriously

I would sacrifice

someone else's limbs

for one of these sweet Caitlin McGauley illustrations.

Sadly I think I'll be left lusting

because I don't think she has an Etsy shop.

But apparently her work is all over Lonny,

and you can win a painting of hers from them here.

Give me a good watercolor of an espresso machine & a wonderfully decorated interior over a landscape any day.

O.M.G. Love; Looks Good to Me

Time for a little break from sharing my Napa goodness.

Because, contrary to my current sentiments

there are other great things out there besides Napa Valley & red wine.

Or so I hear.

One of these great things I just discovered is the blog & illustration of Looks Good to Me

As you may know, I am obsessed with great illustration.

Especially anything involving watercolors!

So thanks to a new commenter

Fashion Art & Other Fancies

I was introduced to my newest art interest.

It's like melting ice cream on a hot summer day.

Love it!

I am just loving Caroline. She illustrates all my favorite things: wine, food & fashion.

Check her out.

**Oh ps I wanted to share the fact that Aaron Brothers is having a penny sale! I found it out when looking for a photo ledge online & I headed over to our local shop.
Awesome! Buy one frame, get one for a penny.
You cannot beat that, especially when you want to frame some recently purchased prints!**

O.M.G. Love, Boots

I love boots. Tall, Short. Chunky or slim.

And I love how this sketch encompasses

their "effortlessly cool" factor.

Thanks Edith Saylor Style for pointing me in the direction of Numerous Drawings

T.G.I.F.

I've come to find that blogging really highlights all of my character flaws. And I do not appreciate it! lol
For example, after our fair adventures I was supposed to take a bunch of pictures of my clips & post them to etsy & plan a giveaway and notify all you lovely ladies and. . .
the list goes on.
Things I am supposed to do but don't ever get around to.
I fear my gravestone will read "Rachel, the girl who never got around to it" :)
Then I get embarrassed because as I said my shortcomings are on display, for all you readers to read and noticers to notice!
I'm sure at this point you are shaking your head, thinking to yourself "Geez Rachel we all have lives, we don't have the time to notice that kind of crap" (at least I am hoping this is what you are thinking lol)
But maybe this forced self-reflection is a good thing, because I'm sure I could use some accountability in my life.
Whatever happened to the good old days where my mom checked my homework for me?
Oh well it's Friday and although no one checks my homework anymore, no one checks my drinking habits either. Which means they are free to do as they please!
Cheers to the freedoms of adulthood & happy Friday everyone.
I love this image below by Manuel Rebollo. It puts me in such a Friday mood :) Check him out he is awesome.
