As a matter of fact I truly love shoes. So illustrating the Rupert Sanderson sandals has been an enjoyable time. The inspiration came after a shopping tour with my special friend at Selfridges on a Saturday afternoon – not really the right time to go shopping as it was very crowded!!!

The Italian-made Rupert Sanderson sandals are drawn from the colours of the Union Jack and have been designed for the Queen’s Jubilee and the London 2012 Olympics.

The Marquita sandals, made of patent leather, are the best choice for a summer and Olympic night out!

Chanel sunglasses illustration to call back good weather

Where has the good weather gone?! In London the weather remains unpredictable: showers, sun and wind on the same day. Typically British. Only a week ago we were under the illusion that sun lotions, skimpy dresses with designer sunglasses (=occhiali da sole) would remain with us for the following months.

So Chanel sunglasses illustration, on a classic aviator style, is a hope for a better weather soon, which means loads of smiles on people’s face through the city streets.

Chanel sunglasses for a hope that chance of rain and low temperatures will remain just a vague memory!

 

Giuseppe Zanotti Design pastel blue suede wedges

It’s 2012, but Giuseppe Zanotti Design pastel blue suede wedges (= scarpe con la zeppa blu pastello) from the spring/summer 2011 collection are still one of my favourites.

Much loved by celebrities and the international jet-set, the Italian shoe designer was influenced by his tailor mum, but surprinsingly he started his career as a DJ playing music for seven-eight years! Luckly Giuseppe Zanotti decided to freelance sketching shoes giving us the most fashionable shoes in the world!

If you have already seen pictures from Antonio Berardi catwalk at London Fashion Week A/W 2012, then you should know why the majority of fashionistas loves Antonio!!!

I love every single outfit from Antonio Berardi A/W 2012 collection, which is quite strange! The illustration shows my high shining silver favourite!

Of Italian descent, Mr Berardi is known for his exquisite cut and appreciation for women’s body. In fact, the collection, inspired by Rococo movement and the contemporary artist Rachel Kneebone‘s porcelain sculptures, is built around geometric shapes that perfectly sculpt the body. Glamour is in the air with Antonio Berardi A/W 2012 collection!

Simply divine! The ballerina dress from Oscar de la Renta Fall 2012 is breathtaking. I am not really impartial as I dreamt of becoming a ballerina when I was a child. So everything related to that field is kind of attraction.

I was reading my tweets and a picture from OscarPRgirl sounded like a doctor’s prescription! Et voilà! The ballerina dress fashion illustration from Oscar de la Renta Fall 2012.

Dominican born fashion designer Oscar de la Renta amazed his fans with this collection. Pastel colours and full skirts are my favs! The ballerina dress on top of them, of course!

At Fashionista you can see the entire Oscar de la Renta Fall 2012 collection from New York Fashion Week! Enjoy it!

From luxury designer handbag to inexpensive St Valentine’s gift for your lover with Aspinal of London heart-shaped key ring (=portachiavi a forma di cuore). Obvious colour but distinctive – red – and British brand.

Even if sold at £20, the fashion label Aspinal of London is indeed a luxury leather goods and accessories company that launched heart-shaped key rings like the one in the illustration that I own. A gift that I have attached to my bag! ;-)

I have discovered the fifth best british luxury brand Aspinal of London at Selfridges two years ago when a purple mock crocrodile Italian calf leather diary attracted my attention like a magnet.  After spending an hour looking at the wonderful collections of handbags, my friend ended up buying a Barbarella black patent leather wallet. Simply divine!

Browse Aspinal of London heart-shaped key rings from the new collection (see the new version of the red one with golden hardware) and give away your favourite to your lover!

Happy St Valentine’s Day!
