Hunkering down during hurricane Sandy

New York is waiting for Sandy to hit us. We’re hunkering down in our cozy apartment riding out the storm. Henry and I have already built a castle, created 2 Halloween posters and watched a David Attenborough nature show. It kind of feels like a weekend day with all of us sitting together at the table for a yummy and relaxed brunch.

I know the storm has and will affect people terribly. I feel so lucky to be safe with my family. I hope Sandy passes quickly and that nobody else will be hurt.

Stacked heel round-up

I love a stacked heel. My personal favorite pair of boots is the Rachel Comey penpal boot in gunmetal gray. I wear them to death. Here are some of my favorites this autumn:
  1. Loeffler Randall Eva Suade Bootie (my girlfriend Joanna has these and they look amazing with jeans)
  2. A.P.C Stacked Heel Ankle Boots (I love these super low heels for walking all around town)
  3. Marc Jacobs Stacked Heel Boots (I love the Western vibe and that on trend maroon leather)
  4. Chloe High Heel booties (Ok, these are amazing for a more dressed up look and might not be as good for running around town…but still…they’re pretty dreamy no?)
  5. Reed Krakoff mid heel oxfords (beautiful and super wearable in the color of the season: Oxblood)

My agency just sent over these snaps of my illustrations for The Telegraph UK‘s fashion magazine, Stella for their beauty special. If only I had the energy to steal some of the celebrity’s beauty tricks!

Fashion Illustration Talk at the Brooklyn Public Library this weekend

I’ll be speaking at the Brooklyn Public Library (Dweck Auditorium) this Saturday at 4pm. Please come if you want to hear about my work, process and getting into the business. I’ll happily answer any questions you may have. There will be a Shoestrology book signing afterwards.

Renowned fashion illustrator Samantha Hahn (official illustrator forDailyCandy.com) discusses her new book Shoestrology: Discover Your Birthday Shoe where she illustrated 366 chic shoe designs. Hahn collaborated with astrologers Tali Edut and Ophira Edut to offer readers a trendy interpretation of their personality as defined by their birthday shoe.

This event is held in conjunction with the exhibition, Fashion Illustration: A Contemporary Look
