How is the summer almost over? One of the World's Most Fashionable Paper Dolls returning home from Madrid. @maxhosa sweater, @celine sunnies (total light blockers, ideal for headache-y mornings and sad afternoons) Always a massive bag for reading material and a picnic and extra pens. Love this leather bag from Aakasha on @etsy The pleats on these #fiorella pants are also for storage. They hide a travel wallet for passport and cash. #travel #madrid #spain #airportstyle #tikidolls (at Adolfo Suárez Madrid–Barajas Airport)
In #carolinaherrera and a #vintage #bakelite necklace of yellow cherries, headed into Mercado de San Miguel. My travel companion called it a "glass box full of food," like that's a bad thing. The produce looks amazing but I'll skip it and go straight to croquetas and Gilda's. #spanishstyle #spanishfood #drawntoadventure #tikidolls #bespoke (at Mercado de San Miguel)
The AVE train from Barcelona to Madrid is perfect. Arrived Atocha Station unrumpled in #delpozo trousers, a recoloured #stellajean shirt, and #jarjewelry ribbon brooch. I've been reading Lenin's kisses by #yanlianke all afternoon and now I'm off for a #vermut and a nibble. #drawntoadventure #tikidolls #bespoke
My makeup was destroyed by a splash of water to the face on the log flume. But the children are happy. #motherhood #familyvacay #tibidabo #barcelona In a #clairmccardell #vintage romper, a #lanvin necklace from a couple seasons ago, a #headwrap, and this year's tote of the summer from @shopclarev and @everymomcounts. I love the project and I love the font #everymothercounts #drawntoadventure #tikidolls #bespoke
Barcelona street style is hard to spot in the throngs of tourists. They fill the streets like a demobbed army of white people in sensible shoes. I saw the glow of this lady's hair blocks before she was close enough for me to see her gold necklace. The print dress, shoppers, and white court shoes were everything. #prints #sensible #ladylike #foodshopping #barcelona #streetstyle
I went to Parc Guell to see a bit of Gaudi and I think my favorite parts of mosaic were done by his collaborator, Josep Maria Jujol. I want to look at more of his work to see if I can tease out which bits he did. The terrace benches are decorated with patterned broken tile that is really beautiful and subtle in a way that much of the other trencadis in the park isn't. The aspect of Gaudi's work I'd not known about was his engineering. The park is full of slanted columns that look decorative but are canted that way to support the load. I'd no idea, until I got up close, how practical his work was. #barcelona #modernisme #artnouveau #architectural #engineering #drawntoadventure ps. On the topic of creative collaboration, this World's Most Fashionable Paper Doll was cut and colored by Tiny Tiki Papier. She is dressed for an apres-touristing picnic. #kidsart #tikidolls #bespoke
I drew for about 8 hours yesterday. Lots of ruined paper and only one drawing to show for it. But! I also only once dunked my brush in my tea. #behindthescenes #artlife

I often draw the same picture over and over until it feels right. Usually within a day, I can’t tell what was wrong with the first one. #process

The Friday Caption Contest!!! Did anyone else have this week? It’s ok. Better to be unloved than unfunny. Toss your best quips into the comments below. Winner announced Monday 2/19 collage made with my favorite graph paper from @letypographe_be I found the paper in Paris and I loved it so much that I bought more than I could carry and braved Le Poste with my substandard French and managed to get it back home. #collage #captionthis

L is for loquacious in the Alphabet of Unintended Consequences. “I hate small talk.” “Is ‘Are you afraid to die?’ an appropriate conversational gambit?” What is up with people who hate small talk? I’d so much rather talk about fashion and the weather than exchange brush-lettered profundities. People who hate small talk seem to be the ones who won’t leave until the house is run dry but won’t ever help with the dishes. #quiet
Behind the Scenes with #howtobeafashiondesigner the new book for the tween fashion maven by @creativecookie! Coming from @dkbooks feb 6 #editing #colouring #colourscheme
I try to start work around 5am to get a bit in before the day gets noisy. Were I as peppy and virtuous as intended, I’d spend the morning nibbling avocado toast and thinking deep thoughts. Instead, I’m swilling coffee and bleary anyway without enough to show for the lost sleep. #shouldhavestayedinbed #avocadotoast

Page one and two of ‘A Day Like Any Other’ Resistance is Adorable. Am endlessly annoyed by the fierce girls that pop up to represent the determination of women. As a grown person, I am not looking for a spokeschild. Thank you. #fearlessgirl #feminist #grownupsonly
Pages 3/4 of ‘One Day Like Any Other’ Our heroine works a job she could not have gotten without a college degree, but the same job doesn’t pay enough to recoup the cost of the degree. Women for whom college is not an option end up in service jobs, earning a wage supplemented by tips, which ties their earnings directly to their likeability*. College is no longer a clear benefit for women, but more a preventative measure. *women in the US are more ‘likeable’ if they are young, pretty, white or lighter-skinned, and a native English speaker with a neutral accent. #education #studentdebt #servicework #feminism #whitefeminismhasitslimitations
