Hi lovelies!
Did you all have a great Valentine's Day?
I hope so!


Mine was full of fun surprises
that started with something I'll mention below,
and went on from there to include the delivery of the
pretty white tufted Chloe sofa that I purchased last week,
a bouquet of lavender roses
and a delicious Valentine's dinner out.

Those of you that follow me on
Twitter, Facebook and Instagram
have probably seen a few of my mentions of the
Oscar de la Renta inspiration going on with me lately.
It all started when I was inspired to create an illustration
of a bottle of Oscar de la Renta's new perfume,
Something Blue, for the OscarPRGirl's
 "Something Blue" Pinterest board
that I posted about here
and placed a video of it's creation here.

The Oscar PR Girl
 is the lovely Erika Bearman,
SVP, Global Communications,
Oscar de la Renta, NY.
I was thrilled when contacted by
Erika's office a week ago
and told that they loved the illustration and
wanted to feature it on the Oscar de la Renta site.
As if that wasn't enough, they are sending me
a bottle of the fragrance, Something Blue!

So, my happy Valentine's Day started with the surprise
of another e-mail from Erika Bearman's office
notifying me that it was up on the site ...
what a fab Valentine's Day present!


The illustration was one of eighteen images
chosen as favorites in the "My Something Blue"
Pinterest campaign.

As all of this excitement was going on,
I, like many of you, were mesmerized by the
beautiful photograph which was posted on Instagram
by the Oscar PR Girl as a sneak peek into
her amazing new feature on The Coveteur.
That fabulous Oscar de la Renta skirt
she was wearing in the photo inspired this illustration:



I just love to add sparkles to everything ...


If you haven't seen the Erika Bearman feature
on The Coveteur, it takes us to the chic NYC loft of
the Oscar PR Girl herself ...

So much inspiration everywhere you turn ...
what will it be tomorrow?

What have you been inspired by lately?
Have a wonderful weekend, everyone!
See you Monday!
