Stiletto Blonde



Bit of a girlie day today...

My new shoes arrived with the post this morning, a suede little number with leather detail and a tiny silver buckle. YUM! A great excuse for a sketch!

I then set about painting my dark Cruella D'evil roots with a nice blonde shade and tried out the Fuchsia tinted lip gloss my parents gifted me at Christmas.



I did intend to sketch another self portrait while colouring my hair but decided to watch the 'Scent of a Woman' DVD I treated myself to in the sales instead.

I am loving that high heel! Oh my, I love how they look and hate how they make my knees feel. Still I could just eat that picture up.

I can see why you painted your shoe ... lovely shapes! :) Oh, you are brave. I don't dare color my hightlights myself ... but based on the fact that it costs me an arm AND a leg each time, perhaps I should rethink doing it myself! Great sketch btw!

What a wonderful girlie day post, Anita. Lovely sketches and such a warm 'self portrait' of you enjoying being a girl. You made me smile on this foggy, dark winter morning. Brava.
I've never attempted to colour my own hair again since, at the age of sixteen, I accidentally turned it carrot orange and had to cover it with Magic Silver White - which was actually purple when used full strength!

Great sketches.....LOVE that shoe! I colour my roots regularly but sometimes it seems like such a chore.

I do like this painting of your shoe and the colours you've used.
Looks like you use the same hair dye as me!

Beautiful sketch Anita - and I am in loooove with those shoes. I'd actually look for excuses to wear heels if those were in my closet.

Oh what glorious shoes! Would you believe that I posted a sketch called "New Shoes" the very same day? But not near so glamorous! How fun! I love your shoes and wish I could wear them.
