Audrey summer '16

Here are some pictures from June that I've been meaning to share. Best friend got her camera up and running again, so we went to her parents' house and had a photoshoot. Enjoy!

when I kissed you girl I knew how sweet a kiss could be, like the summer sunshine pour your sweetness over me

Okay sooo they've been doing a reboot of Archie Comics, first it was Afterlife with Archie, then I think the guy who did that got all the rights or whatever to do new Archies, now they're releasing new Betty & Veronica cartoons - and I am over the moon about it. I have been obsessed with B&V since... forever. I have read Archie comics my whole life and I lived for Betty, Veronica, Sabrina, Josie & the Pussycats, and even Cheryl Blossom! We used to have an art room with a light table and I would sit and trace different outfits worn by the various ladies. I had pages and pages of them, and it wasn't until I was in my first year of fashion design at college that I realized all those tracings actually came in handy.

They released a ton of various covers for the first issue, so I'm sharing all of my favourites because the artwork is so awesome!

Cover art by: Alitha Martinez, Kelly Fitzpatrick - Loving the outfits again! Veronica's whole outfit plus Betty's wristband are straight outta American Apparel

Cover art by: Francesco Francavilla - Second fave cover! Our girls on a playing card - two queens
Cover art by: Genevieve F.T. - My favourite cover! Love the style the girls are illustrated in, the softness and the fullness of everything. Betty's bun is way too cute
