LYLA LOVES

A little while ago I had the pleasure of creating a couple of beautiful, ethereal illustrations for new jewellery brand, Lyla Loves. So I was very excited to hear that the site is now live and I can finally share the finished illustrations with you! 

I am so happy with how the illustrations turned out - Pastel tones and bohemian elegance, LOVE.

Anyway, I hope you like how the illustrations have turned out! 
Their new website is awesome, plus they have a giveaway, so head over there now and show them some love!

Feeling Fruity

 

I am sooo sorry I havn't posted in so long, I have been so busy, but I promise I will be updating my blog much more often :)

Anyway, inspired by summer fruity vibes and bright colours, I decided to do a beauty / fashion illustration series featuring some of my fav summer fruits; lemon, watermelon and pineapple. 

Hope you like them!

 I used my usual pencil and watercolour for all these and the originals and prints are available for purchase in my etsy store - https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/AnnabelleKingg

If your following me on instagram you'll probably be thinking, this is SUCH a late post - which it is. But, you'll also know that I've recently been away holidaying in Turkey so I guess I have a good excuse to why I havn't been posting ;) Haha!

Expect a few more posts following this one including one about my home from home, Turkey :)

Zimmermann Resort 2015

Zimmermann's collections are usually stunning but this collection has to be my favorite so far. Zimmermann's luxe beachwear designs make me so much more excited for summer, the lacy cutwork, subtle florals, and stunning structured swimwear - which in my opinion is way too pretty to wear to the beach! 

Anyway, I hope you like my illustration, the lace honestly took ages!

Here are some of my faves from the collection;

Liquid GOLD

 Liquid Gold

By Annabelle King

A few months back I came across the most beautiful editorial shot by Sandro Baebler for Fashion Gone Rogue that features stunning gowns by one of my favourite designers, Alexander McQueen. 

So I went ahead and asked Sandro Baebler if I could have the pleasure of illustrating this editorial, to which he said yes! 

The images are so romantic and decadent, they actually took my breath away.

With hints of gold throughout the spread, I thought I would make a feature of the gold in my illustration by using metallic paint and who doesn't love a bit of gold?!

  

Here are a few images from the editorial but make sure you check out the full editorial on fashiongonerogue.com!

Vintage INSPIRATION

 

 

Recently I've been absolutely fascinated with vintage fashion and photography.

I think the thing i love the most about it is the fact that although they didnt have all the high-tech gear we have today, they still produced some of the most beautiful and iconic images!!

Heres some images i found around the web of some stunning vintage photos by amazing photographers such as Horst P. Horst and Erwin Blumenfeld.

The Giambattista Valli Haute Couture Autumn Winter 2013 collection is just to die for!

I chose this one worn by the stunning model, Sasha Luss and completed it using pencil and watercolour.
