Illustrations for CANDELABOX

Happy Sunday My Lovelies,

I hope you've all had a fantastic weekend. I'm thrilled to share with you an illustration project I worked on for the newly launched candelabox.com. Candelabox is a subscription service for high-end scented candles. They discover the best products for you based on your fragrance profile and deliver on a monthly basis. I absolutely loved the concept and wanted my illustrations to reflect the evocative nature of fragrances and the premium service of Candelabox.

Head over to the beautiful candelabox.com and see for yourself.

Much love,

Ruffian Spring 2014

Hello Lovelies,

Finally I share with you my illustrations from the Ruffian SS14 fashion show produced for Would You Rock This. These were an absolute joy to illustrate and experience firsthand on the runway. Can you feel the cool Parisian breeze from these garments?!

Much love,

SS14 NYFW Photo Diary

Hello Darlings,

I'm finally back from an absolute whirlwind Summer and start to Fall. For those of you who follow my Instagram and Facebook you were absolutely apart of the journey with me and I'm incredibly grateful for that. I did not formerly announce it on the blog but in addition to illustrating with designer Naomi Spindel, I was also selected by renowned illustrator Alvaro and Would You Rock This to cover the Ruffian SS14 show at New York Fashion week this past Sept 7th.

As expected I jumped at the opportunity, and had the time of my life sketching voraciously from the runway, and inside the Lincoln Center tents. Having captured much of the action via Instagram, my favorite Aussie Jordana Ripp of Perth Style put together this amazing photo collage of my experience, and I just had to share it with you all here. Thank you Jordana for this most incredible memento. I can't wait to post the final illustrations from the Ruffian show here shortly.

Much love,
Meag xx

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,

Meag xx
