Sketch A Day: 1 of 365

I really want to improve my illustrations so I'm going to participate in doing #sketchaday  If you goons have any tips or suggestions please let me know! The only training I have had is one art class in high school & all the fashion illustration classes while attending FIDM. Here is my first sketch.  

For this sketch I used Prismacolors and Micron Pens.

Flowers x Spikes

Introducing the Lavender Abyssal Spike Headband. This sweetly rebellious little number is one of the many accessories that got me noticed online when I first started selling my handmade goods. This carefully handcrafted accessory is composed of a black satin base, 4 silver spikes and 5 delicate roses saturated in purples/ lilacs and pinks.

I recently listed a few of my Top Selling flower headband styles on my shop. Stock on these styles is extremely limited and once they are sold they will be gone forever. I definitely would suggest purchasing your favorites styles while supplies last.

I Am Evgenia

Last year I had the pleasure of meeting Stephanie Bodnar, owner/ designer of Evgenia Lingerie also known as Honey Cooler Handmade. I knew of Stephanie through mutual friends & it wasn't until we met that I realized she had worked with Hana Haley before. I am sure all of you know by now but if not, Hana Haley is a babe of a photographer who has been working by my side since I first launched Alexandrea Anissa. 

Stephanie recently launched Evgenia Lingerie as her new label & has been slowly releasing small parts of her new SS15 collection, Night Garden. Night Garden is composed of feminine floral prints, ribbon motifs & flirty silhouettes that would all compliment your top drawer staples. Her fine lingerie is handmade to order here in San Francisco & is offered in sizes S - L. Stephanie hasn't fully released her new collection but by popular demand she has released the Night Garden Bralette x Modern Knicker which are both available to purchase on her site. So if you love fine lingerie please check out her site & follow her on Instagram!

Video Collaboration Coming Soon

Launching 09/21: Alexandrea Anissa x Hana Haley Video Collaboration starring Frances Tomei x Hannah Fugazzi. Be sure to keep your eyes peeled for candy colored dreamy lingerie. 

Cheeky Girl

Aside from creating small collections for my shop I also create limited edition pieces from remnants of fabrics, notions & supplies. These garments are exclusively limited and may not be reproduced. Once they are sold, they are gone forever! 

This playful little number is the Babydoll Lace Cheeky Panty made from a lusciously soft nylon lace contouring along body with it's beautiful scalloped edge. I currently only have one left in a size Medium. What I love most about this style panty is that it's cute, comfy & cheeky. Pair with an oversized tank/ cardigan for a lazy day at home or with a pair of jeans & a cute bralette for a day out. Definitely one of my top drawer staples, do you agree?

Etsy Supplies

Hey Babes!! I am starting this week with a productive schedule & a positive mindset. Yesterday I listed some high quality lingerie/ accessory supplies on my Etsy if anyone is interested in purchasing. I am justing trying to clean out my workspace to make room for future collections. In each Etsy listing I made sure to explain how to use the supply with a suggested stitch & application method. I hope this will help anyone out who is wanting to get into sewing lingerie or other garments. Also once something sells, it will be gone forever!! And as a few items sell I will be sure to list more.

My Workspace

My workspace. I still need to put some art on the walls, hang more prints/ polaroids, and possibly buy a new rug or desk chair. Both are pretty expensive or at least the ones I want. Hope everyone is having a product weekend!! I am busy doing last minute preparations for releasing a couple of my collections at wholesale. Super exciting!! Within the next month, all you pretty babes will be able to purchase Alexandrea Anissa at a few select retailers. 

Red Lips

Roses from my boyfriend (old photo but whatever)

How the hell am I suppose to fix this? Basically my watercolor painting gone wrong ;( .

Always in love with Hopeless Lingerie. 

Frisky

I am absolutely in love with this editorial by Nima Elm. Her work is unbelievably incredible, dreamy & absolutely stare worthy! Definitely a photographer I would love to work with in the near future. 

Feline Dreams

Kitten Bralet x Kitten Panty

Meet the newest addition to my Kitten Collection... the Kitten Panty. A basic hipster style panty with a center front leopard print panel & a very large satin bow. Made exclusively from nylon/ lycra & available in sizes XXS - XXL. 

Pictured below is the Kitten Panty with the Detachable Garters from my shop. Almost all my panties listed on my shop have pre-sewn garter loops for the option of detachable garters. I basically take my time & sew little loops to the fronts/ backs of the panty so if you want to add detachable garters you can! And if you ordered panties way back when & decided you want to add garters now, no problem because I already sewn loops into the panties you purchased ;) . 

It Doesn't Hurt To Dream

Dreaming of leaving the bay area for NYC. Possibly, maybe... I don't know.

Polaroid is from a couple months ago. Never will get sick of the candy colored homes in SF.

Will it be a white wedding or a devilish day in?
