day 20 {holiday} INSPIRATIONS: store windows

today I went to do a holiday TRENDING trip and a little shopping at Ala Moana in Honolulu...here are a few photos of from my stroll through the crazy Christmas shopping madness...

{above} handpainted urban vinyl dolls at 808orbit - fell in love with these one-of-a-kind painted toys by various graffiti artists around the world. Here are a few of the artists~ pancho from hawaii, scribe from missouri, leecifer from cali & newKON from hawaii

 

the window at COACH - I thought it was interesting to see the gift box print is printed with the word COACH repeated in different hand drawn fonts. I noticed a lot of fuchsia, purple, blue colors and loads of embellished purses with metal charms. IDEA --->paint your own bag with or print a photo on fabric canvas then stitch it to a tote bage. Make your own gift wrap by doodling or writing words on brown or white craft paper

one of my FAVE designers and stores- Betsy Johnson

a lighted illustration inside Macy's ~ a great inspriation for doodling

 

the BRIGHT lights of LV~ louis vuitton ~ take an interesting reflection self portrait {a reflection of me & my purple scarf in the corner}

loved this Holiday Fairy decal but can't remember the store

 

it's SNOWING in Hawaii...I HEART the hand painted bird house ornaments hanging from the tree ~"warmest wishes" window at Nordstrom

another beautiful day in the 80s...happy holidays from Hawaii!

take a stroll through stores to research colors, prints, interior design and window displays for current trends and ideas for sketchbook inspiration. happy creating!
