Featured in Naomi Spindel's SS14 Lookbook Video

Hello My Loves,

I'm so excited to share with you the behind the scenes video from the Naomi Spindel lookbook shoot I participated in last weekend. I was so fortunate to be asked to illustrate on set from the gorgeous garments. It was an absolute dream working with this team of people and I cannot wait to attend her presentation during Mercedes Benz Fashion Week September 8th. Watch the video to catch glimpses of me illustrating live and see what's in store from this supremely talented designer this Fall.

Much love,

Summer Seven with Alyssa Surrett

Hello Again Lovelies!!

I'm so beyond excited to finally be showcasing my blog collaboration with my friend, the fabulous Alyssa Surrett - Marie Claire's Executive Assistant to the Publisher, major style blogger, and super accessory aficionado. Alyssa and I became instant friends after meeting at a Marie Claire x Anne Taylor Loft event back in February. We both showed up wearing the same dip-dyed fox fur scarf, purchased from a store Sucre in our mutual neighborhood of the West Village. Clearly it was fate and here we are.

Over brunch at Sant Ambroeus one morning, we decided on a blog collaboration that involved her curating her must have Summer 2013 accessories and me illustrating them...et voila!! I present to you Alisted and Travel Write Draw's Summer Seven illustrated must have accessories. Starting from top to bottom, left to right:

Mario Testino for Matte Pom Pom Necklace 

Charlotte Olympia Punk Pandora Clutch

Prada Metallic Leather Flower Applique Thong Sandals
Elizabeth Cole Crystal Parrot Earrings
Dior Sauvage 2/S Sunnies
Alexander McQueen Small Heroine Laser-Cut Calf Hair Satchel Bag
Jimmy Choo Preya Leather and Raffia Wedge Sandal

Whether you are spending your last few weeks of Summer working in the city, vacationing in paradise, or riding the Hampton Jitney to another weekend of bliss in the Summer Rental, make sure you do it in style with one or all of our top Summer Seven!!

Much love,

Hello TWD Darlings!!

I cannot believe it's been over a month since I last posted on the blog. I assure you that this was with good reason as it has been one of the most rewarding months I've ever experienced in my career. I have oodles of exciting fashion illustration projects in the works and so much more to share with you here in the next coming weeks.

In the meantime, I wanted to post this custom illustration and photo from the creative shoot I participated in with LILY QIAN called Meagan & Marie back in June. It just picked up a coveted feature on Would You Rock This? which I'm thrilled to share with you all. Have a look and I'll be back soon!!

Much love,

READY, STEADY JET SET

Happy Saturday My Loves!!

Finally I'm back on the blog after such a long hiatus!! Needless to say, when you take 10 days off from work, you spend the next 20 trying to catch up. I had some really incredible events take place the past few weeks. I illustrated my first scarf for my company's SS14 collection, finally met the gorgeous girls over at Perth Style as well as Lubov Azria of BCBG, modeled for a creative with Lily Qian, attended one of my best friend's weddings and GOTHAM Magazine's Cover Party with my love Alyssa of A-Listed. Now I'm prepping for a quick jet set home and I couldn't be happier.

I read this amazing quote today that said "travel light, live light, spread the light, be the light". I feel like I'm living in the light right now. Can't wait to share more illustrations with you all and finally get crackin' on my Greece Postcards!!

Much love,

Blue & White - Mykonos

Hello Hello My Loves,

How have you all been?!! I have finally returned from my Greek Island hopping extravaganza and I can't begin to tell you how much I fell in love with that country!! From Athens, to Mykonos, Paros, and Santorini, I experienced all things white & blue. Those who follow me with Instagram came right along for the ride as I documented my journey from ferry to land and back again. I can't wait to share the oodles of inspiration I gathered while abroad but in the meantime I leave you with this snapshot from my first night in Mykonos. Lets just say it was a night to remember. Stay tuned for postcards, trend posts, and illustrations galore.

Much love,

Illustrated Packing List: Greek Island Hopping

Hello, Hello, Hello My Loves!!

I'm so excited to be back on TWD to reveal my Greek Island packing essentials!! This Friday May 24th I will be embarking on the adventure of a lifetime, leaving all the stresses of New York City behind ahhhh. I can already feel that Mediterranean sunshine permeating my skin. That reminds me...I still need to buy SPF 100 lotion because right now I'm grossly Snow White. Anyway, it seems that this trip's packing list is all about statement accessories. Truthfully, bohemian white maxi dresses just aren't that fun to draw ;). Starting from the top left:

Mary Katrantzou Medium Print Pouch Clutch

DOLCE & GABBANA Filigrane Embellished Gold-Plated Clip Earrings

mally Lip Magnifier in Sexy Siren

Zac Posen Illesteva Cat Eye Acetate Sunglasses

ALAIA Studded Cutout Leather Sandals

Mara Hoffman Pow Wow Printed Bandeau Bikini

I fell absolutely in love with this season's prints and pop color accents like chartreuse, coral, and tangerine. I'm having visions of Santorini's aqua blue waters as the backdrop to my saturated colored ensembles. The outfits make the trip don't they?! How are you all spending your Memorial Day holiday? Have any of you been to the Greek Islands? If so leave your suggestions below.

Much love,

Greek Island Hopping Getaway!!

Hello Hello My Darlings!!

I'm so excited I can hardly contain myself!! A little under three weeks from now I will be jetting off to Athens to kick-start my Greek Island Hopping Extravaganza. On the agenda is Mykonos, Paros, and breathtaking Santorini. I can't wait to take you all there with me through my blog. This will be my first time traveling to Greece and I've been told just HOW extraordinarily beautiful it is. 

I searched high and low for references for this illustration and finally landed on an editorial from VOGUE Hellas. I wanted it to feel authentic and equally fashion/travel driven. I loved her headpiece as it related to Greek Mythology and the fact that she seemed to mirror my sentiments towards Greek island hopping (eager). I've been devising my packing list to illustrate here so stay tuned.

Before I sign off, I am dying to get recommendations from you all on the "must-sees" of Greece. Leave your comments and suggestions below and don't forget to include any post tips on themes, photos, postcards that you would like to see here upon my return. Thrilled to bring you Greece inspired posts galore and sink my teeth into a new country. Enjoy the beautiful weekend!!

Much love,

Meag xx
