Krisatomic’s illustrations have captivated me ever since I saw her around Livejournal, way back when. Her quirky long necked girls in cute dresses and accessories are her signature, and every time I see one I just want to buy a print and frame it! She is one of my favorite artists and it all makes me want to start drawing again. Some of my favorites:
Her sketchbook is girly and so full of whimsy, her photographs elegant and crisp; I am definitely jealous of her abilities! This Lazy Sunday browse through her creations for instant inspiration at Krisatomic.com!

Hi lovelies! It’s been two busy days, but Lemon Soda has finally been made over! More magical, purple (important) and hopefully navigable for everyone. I’m super excited about new projects I’ll be working on as well :3 How’s the week been going for everyone? Closer to Friday! So far I’m loving:
- My Social Psychology book because it’s beautifully explained.
- My Social Psychology professor — she reminds me of a less exaggerated version of Sybill Trelawny from Harry Potter. Always fun!
- Mint green. New nailpolish and cardigan to celebrate :3
- My new Eye Bright from Benefit. I just line my bottom lash line and instantly it looks like I’ve slept 4 hours more than I actually have.
- Taking a nap as soon as I get home (PJ’s and everything.)
- Planning a sushi date with friends for next week. Unfortunately it is way, way more expensive here than it is in Beijing and Hong Kong, but at least it gives us a good excuse to dress up.
- Planning Tom’s trip to Madrid — now that the touristy part was done with on his first visit, it’s time to get to the good stuff!
I hope everyone has been doing great, tell me things!
Oh, it’s so good to be Queen — don’t we know it! Purpurine realms of fabulosity and self love, of amber inspiration and ruby gems and lemon soda. A darling world at our feet, ready to dazzle if we let it. Let’s celebrate!
- Know that you are enough; seek only inspiration from others and be not jealous! Stop comparing yourself to others, it isn’t productive.
- Celebrate those you love. Show them what it means to you to have them in your life.
- Throw yourself an Unbirthday Party!
- Pamper yourself; invite a friend to come along. Get your nails done. Yummy candy apple, mint green is in!
- Redecorate your space. Have an inspiration wall of photographs and writings, and very importantly, with a mirror so that you can appreciate your beauty (even in the morning.)
- Buy some lingerie. For the smitten: give your partner a sexy dance! For the single: dance to your favorite song and eat all the sweets your heart desires!
- Sit next to someone you love. Breathe together.
- Try something new. Anything! Pat yourself on the back for your adventurousness.
- Take a self portrait and hang it up somewhere.
- Watch a friend shine. Encourage them, congratulate them — sparkle together.
- Remember the importance of laughing at yourself once in a while.
So even if for a day, drop your musts and your lists. Stop to appreciate yourself, go ahead and feel special, and don’t forget to spread the love wherever you go!
