beach culture for SHOP TIL YOU DROP


I had the suuuuuper fun job of working with Shop 'Til You Drop
on a series of paper doll-esque illustrations for a beach tribes story inspired by
the style of 5 gorgeous celebs;
Erin Wasson, Kim Kardashian, Nicole Richie, Gwyneth Paltrow and Katy Perry.
Each of these ladies has such an individual style that is celebrated here.
Which tribe do you belong in?
I think i'm somewhere in between Nicole and Gwynnie.

You can find these ladies and their outfits
(10 whole pages of girls and clothes to cut out!)
in the November issue of Shop 'Til You Drop
with the stunning Rosie Huntington-Whitely on the cover.
Have to say this issue is really gearing me up for my sunny beach holiday;
so much Summery goodness inside.

Hope you like!

Oh wow this takes me back to having a paper doll to "dress up" when I was little. So beautiful. I'm blown away by your talent as per usual xx

Kelly said...

^ Thanks so much guys! Jade - I know exactly what you mean. I guess it's a girl thing. We'll never get sick of the idea of dressing anything up! :)
I was only cutting out some paper dolls with my niece last night. I forgot how exciting they are when you were 4!

I have to say i'm super keen to make some paper dolls to sell.
Love hearing which style suits you too. We're all diff!

Pippa - get them out! We should swap them!

Kelly said...

@ Chrissy - I totally know what you mean. I can never bring myself to cut anything out of my mag. I end up buying sparies if I want to do it! :)
