Fashion(able) Stationary

Around 3 years ago, my wonderful friend Caitlin gave me personalized stationary from Inslee as a thank you gift for being a bridesmaid in her wedding. I instantly fell in love with the illustrations of beautifully dressed women walking through the rain, shopping, cooking, etc.

I was so excited to see all the press Inslee is getting recently and I can certainly see why with all her new illustrations. Here are a few of my favorites!

Illustration of a Lanvin for H&M Dress
Illustration inspired by a Louis Vuitton look from spring 2010
Illustrations of blogger Atlantic-Pacific
Illustration of Leandra of The Man Repeller
 Illustration from street style shot from Fashion Week


One of the best things about Inslee Stationary is that you now can commission personal drawings. Below is one of the more recent commissioned projects. A bride wanted to give her bridesmaids personalized stationary as thank you gifts, so she provided Inslee with photos of each the girls. The results are just awesome!

Spring has arrived in MN...finally!

Found this lovely photo on local fashion blogger Mary O'Regan's website, Art of Wore. She captured this photo at the LynLake Street Festival in Minneapolis over the weekend. I just love this woman's style in the photo! Check out all the rest of Mary's photos from the festival here.
