Sassy

Happy Friday, Lovies!

As an artist and illustrator,

I love poses and am always studying them.

So much can be said by a pose without saying a word!

Let's take Sassy ...
the definition is:
Adjective: lively, bold, full of spirit, cheeky
Synonyms: saucy, impudent, pert, forward

I see a little
"Sassy"
in all of the above photos!
How would "sassy" describe an item, do you think?
Let's say .... a pair of shoes?
As we head into the weekend,
what if you were heading out for an elegant evening
and you wanted to put on a sassy pair of shoes ...
what would you wear?

I whipped up a watercolor sketch {below} of a particular
Celine {spring-summer 2013} sparkler that
fits the definition of sassy very well, I think!
It's definitely "bold" and "full of spirit,"
with its multi-colored jewels
and if we slipped our feet into a pair, I'm sure
eyes would turn as they
 flashed and glittered
and we just may hear someone say as we walked by ...
"Wow, Sassy!"
Take a peek at this actual Celine shoe HERE.


Have a wonderfully sassy weekend, everyone!

See you Monday!

 HIGH HEELED LIFE

All of the above photos and their sources can be found via
"Shoe Love" Pinterest board here.

High Heels.
We just love to look at them, to slip into them ...
they're truly works of art.

And sometimes they stand for something ...
and, in fact, inspire other works of art.
Have you met Celia of the blog:
"High Heeled Life ... Are You Living Yours?" ...
if not, please let me introduce you!

Without divulging too much about Celia's story,
(as NO one could tell it better that Celia herself),
let me just say that she was living what
she considered to be a
High Heeled Life a few years ago
when something happened that made her feel as if
she had fallen off that High Heeled Life
and sent her on a search to rediscover herself.
Her blog, in fact, used to be called
"Falling off a High Heeled Life."

Fast forward.
Now Celia is launching a brand new look
to celebrate a new direction and the
discoveries she's made along the way
and she shares it all with us.
She recently contacted me to create
three illustrations for her blog to help her tell her story.

The first illustration is of a striking red high heel
with two diamond butterflies
to symbolize change.



The second illustration is of a chic red chaise lounge
that she is currently using as her symbol for readers' questions ...


The third illustration is a cute yoga girl
to symbolize Celia's connection
 to mind-body-spirit .

To learn more about Celia's story, go here and
to see where she is now and to see the introduction
of the illustrations, go here.

Thank you, Celia!
It was a pleasure creating a little magic for you and
I can't wait to read more of
your future adventures in your new
High Heeled Life!

Have a wonderful week, everyone!
See you Wednesday!
