New Drawing, New Year

Lori Goldstein in Marni | 2011 | oil pastel on paper

I am happy to share my first finished drawing of 2011 featuring the ever inspiring and talented stylist/fashionista, Lori Goldstein.  I first learned of Lori on the blog The Glamourai when The Glamourai (a.k.a. Kelly Framel) documented her visit to Lori's NYC loft.  I've since been coming across Lori and her work all over...from styling the lovely Michelle Williams and super-yummy Ryan Gosling in W, to being featured on StyleLikeU, on QVC where she has her own line: LOGO and in the latest issue of 10 magazine -- where I found the inspiration for this drawing.

The dress that Lori's wearing is quite easily my most favorite Marni dress.  Ever.  At Nordstrom, I seriously melted over the dress and its stunning Deco Leaf print (like the fashion geek I am!), though the next time I visited, not to my surprise but much to my chagrin, it had sold...sigh, I can only hope that maybe someday we'll cross paths again...

I hope everyone is having a fabulous New Year!  I have lots of new pieces underway -- I'll be getting them up on the blog as soon as they're finished, sprayed and photographed! :)
