C18's Labor Day Haute List

Happy Labor Day Weekend My Lovelies!!

I hope you have some spectacular plans in the works for this holiday. I'm back in Toronto for one of my dearest friend's wedding tomorrow (love you Miss Jill Kennedy) and I'm beyond thrilled to share with you my first ever C18 Girl illustration for my company Collection 18. Check out C18's Labor Day Haute List for five fabulous spots to hit up this long weekend:

1. Check out MoMA P.S.1’s Party Wall this weekend before it closes – a temporary urban landscape on view throughout the Summer. The giant steel frame contains water which projects to a fountain below. No place could be chiller to end your Summer in NYC.

2. Visit James Turrell’s light spectacular at the Guggenheim for an experience of perception, light, color, and space. It’s Turrell’s first exhibition in a New York museum since 1980. After walking the dramatically transformed Guggenheim, pop over to Central Park for a late Summer stroll.

3. Head to 10 Over 10 Tribeca for a bit of manicure/pedicure indulgence. Nothing feels better than letting your fingers and toes shine during these last few days of saucy Summer heat. On your way home walk up West Broadway for some SOHO gallery hopping and Summer sale shopping!! 

4. Road-trip it to Sturbridge, Massachusetts this weekend for the incredible Vintage Fashion and Textile Show. Scoop up tapestries, costumes, estate jewelry, hats, shoes, and old fashioned magazines for old makes new inspiration at the largest show of its kind.

5. Hop over to Brooklyn Bridge Park to ride the exquisite 1920’s Jane’s Carousel in Dumbo. Overlook the most spectacular view of the East River between the Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridge and host your own version of a Harper’s Bazaar Mila Kunis photo shoot.

Featured in Naomi Spindel's SS14 Lookbook Video

Hello My Loves,

I'm so excited to share with you the behind the scenes video from the Naomi Spindel lookbook shoot I participated in last weekend. I was so fortunate to be asked to illustrate on set from the gorgeous garments. It was an absolute dream working with this team of people and I cannot wait to attend her presentation during Mercedes Benz Fashion Week September 8th. Watch the video to catch glimpses of me illustrating live and see what's in store from this supremely talented designer this Fall.

Much love,
Meag xx

Summer Seven with Alyssa Surrett

Hello Again Lovelies!!

I'm so beyond excited to finally be showcasing my blog collaboration with my friend, the fabulous Alyssa Surrett - Marie Claire's Executive Assistant to the Publisher, major style blogger, and super accessory aficionado. Alyssa and I became instant friends after meeting at a Marie Claire x Anne Taylor Loft event back in February. We both showed up wearing the same dip-dyed fox fur scarf, purchased from a store Sucre in our mutual neighborhood of the West Village. Clearly it was fate and here we are.

Over brunch at Sant Ambroeus one morning, we decided on a blog collaboration that involved her curating her must have Summer 2013 accessories and me illustrating them...et voila!! I present to you Alisted and Travel Write Draw's Summer Seven illustrated must have accessories. Starting from top to bottom, left to right:

Mario Testino for Matte Pom Pom Necklace 

Charlotte Olympia Punk Pandora Clutch

Prada Metallic Leather Flower Applique Thong Sandals
Elizabeth Cole Crystal Parrot Earrings
Dior Sauvage 2/S Sunnies
Alexander McQueen Small Heroine Laser-Cut Calf Hair Satchel Bag
Jimmy Choo Preya Leather and Raffia Wedge Sandal

Whether you are spending your last few weeks of Summer working in the city, vacationing in paradise, or riding the Hampton Jitney to another weekend of bliss in the Summer Rental, make sure you do it in style with one or all of our top Summer Seven!!

Much love,

Meag xx

Meagan & Marie

Hello TWD Darlings!!

I cannot believe it's been over a month since I last posted on the blog. I assure you that this was with good reason as it has been one of the most rewarding months I've ever experienced in my career. I have oodles of exciting fashion illustration projects in the works and so much more to share with you here in the next coming weeks.

In the meantime, I wanted to post this custom illustration and photo from the creative shoot I participated in with LILY QIAN called Meagan & Marie back in June. It just picked up a coveted feature on Would You Rock This? which I'm thrilled to share with you all. Have a look and I'll be back soon!!

Much love,
Meag xx
