WISHLIST: Gucci

Dayum Gucci...

So we all have some sort of a bucket list right? A list of must-do things before you die? Alongside mine, pinned to my mental moodboard (highlighted in fuschia) is my must-buy list. This is a list of items I NEED to purchase in my lifetime in my search for eternal happiness and self love. Sure, a bag may not fulfill that, however, I can dream.

As many girls do, I always dreamed of being able to purchase a Chanel handbag. I imagined one day strutting into Chanel, receiving the 5-star treatment from the staff, skipping home with my Chanel shopping bag and somehow surprising myself with the bag. I haven't worked out the specifics yet.

That being said, I think these beauties are sneakily creeping up my wishlist! Gun to my head, if I HAD TO pick, I'd opt for the Sylvie, because to me it's the most iconic and eye-catching in look whilst being the most versatile. I do imagine my wardrobe would need to consist of more red/green but let's not get hung up on all the minor details...

Sylvie leather mini bag

Dionysus leather top handle bag

Nymphaea leather top handle bag

My absolute favourite features on this new collection is the combination of styles that the brand has used. I love the addition of the athletic style stripped strap on the Dionysus and Nymphaea as well as it's functionality. I love the gold hardware featured in all three because personally I think it's the most versatile and one I never have trouble incorporating in my wardrobe. What tops it off though, it the use of thick bold stripes in red, green and navy, I can't even explain why, I just adore it!

Do you guys have a must-buy list? If so, what does it consist of?

MODEL OF THE MOMENT: Kaia Gerber

Holy ****! How absolutely stunning is IMG model Kaia Gerber. Admittedly, I do believe that Kaia has been on the scene a while now however, she is new to me...and currently I feel obsessed. Those who know her, will probably know her as the famous icon, Cindy Crawford's daughter and at just 16, she's got a pretty damn impressive portfolio.

The images below were all shot for the upcoming Spring edition of the LOVE magazine and I just cannot get over them. Photographed by one of my favourite duos: Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott - who just seem to do no wrong, I mean seriously....

ILLUSTRATION: Sam Chapman. Revised.

Post uni, I finally had some long overdue time to myself...which is a strange concept now thinking about it. Whilst I still had time to draw during my final year (-and created some fashion illustrations I still consider my best work), it's, for me, being able to differentiate between drawing for yourself as a hobby and a drawing that's considered work. The difference, being the pressure of producing something worthwhile, representative of a theme/season/idea, and time constraints, which is never the case when it's a hobby.

So my muse: Samantha Chapman. No there's not really some deep, meaningful intent behind this artwork. I just enjoy her Youtube videos, her carefree, artistic style and frankly, her devil-may-care attitude when it comes to - I quote- 'slagging off' things she simply doesn't agree with.
