SF Tweed Ride - Tweed(ers) Ride And Unite!
(photo source credit: y3rdua)
The SF Tweed Ride happened again for a second time last evening. Check SF Tweed, apparently there is now a whole website devoted to SF Tweed(ers). Also visit SF Tweed on Flickr.
Poor RidingPretty, she did not get to join this SF Tweed ride this time around. Perhaps I'll make it to the Tweed Ride in Chicago and if that fails perhaps I can get to the Tweed Ride in Sydney, Australia!
Tweed(ers) is my silly little pet name for Tweed Wearing Riders...I hope it's perceived as all adoring but without being too, too precious sounding. If you are new to all, then check here to my past posts on all things 'Tweedy'.

{eternally chic: the classic trench coat}
One of my favourite things about Spring is running out the door in a light trench -- whether paired with a favourite pair of jeans or a cocktail dress, it is one item that always makes me feel hopelessly stylish and effortlessly put together . . .
{top: françoise hardy; above: kate moss}In 1879, a young former draper's assistant, Thomas Burberry, invented gabardine, a comfortable yet durable tightly-woven, water-resistant fabric. This fabric was a stunning success, with orders flooding in, and the first major client being the British Army.
Using his own designs for officers' coats made 13 years earlier for the War Office, Burberry added shoulder straps and metal rings to his gabardine coat, and the trench coat was created. Today the Burberry trench coat remains one of fashion's most coveted pieces.
{above: jackie, audrey, kate}Lightweight, weather resistant and eternally chic, the classic trench is as stylish today as it was when Audrey Hepburn wore one in Breakfast At Tiffany's.

Vintage Bicycle, Extreme Gladiator Sandals... Desert (Burning Man?) with Jena Malone
(actress: jena malone - photo source unknown)
Sure do love the bicycle, AND the gladiator sandals the newly emerging actress Jena Malone is wearing here. What a coincidence after posting only just yesterday the photo of Mary Kate on a cool vintage bicycle wearing gladiators sandals too!
I'm also liking the shorty 'riding gloves', and the deep brim on her hat for blessed relief from the intense sun. This shot inspires me.

{finishing touch}
Whether stylishly sleek on a wall of doors or beautifully ornate in Pierre Hermé's Parisian apartment, the right hardware is always the perfect finishing touch . . .

Sofia Coppola & French Vogue
What happens when Sofia Coppola and French Vogue come together? Magic!
Just got finished with this drawing...
Wow, today was really long, wasn't sure if i was going to get to draw today,
but at 9 o'clock tonight, i saw this picture and decided i had to draw it right that instant.
It's just was too beautiful.
Plus, as most of you know, it's my life goal to illustrate a Cover of Vogue.
So, i just keep praticing it! haha
i love everything about it, so Voila! painted it for yawl.
I really like how it turned out.
I hope you like it. :)
