I met Elena Fay virtually through the blogosphere a few years ago.  The blogging world is big but the community is quite small.  Elena’s blog, DC in Style, is one of those blogs that I would visit regularly and link my fashion posts on a weekly basis.

Unlike other fashion bloggers, Elena offers more than fashion inspiration from her blog.  You see, this woman is extremely talented.  Aside from being stylish, she can really draw.  Her drawings are effortless and chic.

When Elena contacted me about her new book I was really really excited.   I didn’t know what to expect.  The first thought that crossed my mind was that she finally put all her gorgeous drawings into a book and I can tear them out and frame them!  But all she wanted from me was to provide some feedback and nothing more.

Once I received the book it was more than what I had expected.  This book is a fashion coloring book that features 25 original hand-drawn fashion illustrations by Elena.  The best part is, I can actually color and feel creative – feeling like I can draw just as badass as her.  

I usually read a book or magazine with a glass of wine or tea to unwind.  The idea of coloring a book to relax never entered my mind until now.  With Elena’s book, I started to doodle around with it for five minutes but half an hour later I was more relaxed than ever.  It felt so therapeutic.  Definitely an anxiety and stress reduction tool.  It almost felt like the equivalent of having had a power nap.

If you are looking for something to relax or unwind with I highly recommend this fashion coloring book.  It is only $9.99 on Amazon.  It will provide hours of stress relief through creative expression!  Each page is printed on one side only. Printed on white paper, perfect for colored pencils, markers, crayons, gel pens and pastels. Page size is 8.5x11inches, which you can frame after 🙂

If you want to see more of Elena’s talent you can follow her on Instagram!

Have a great weekend.  Until then, I will see you on the blog next week.
