Kate Bingaman-Burt

Kate Bingaman-Burt is an illustrator based in Portland, OR, USA.  Kate has a very unique & quirky illustrative style as she creates drawings, prints, typography, textiles, patterns the list is endless. Since 2002 Kate has been creating illustrations based on consumption. Each time Kate purchases something she draws it in her illustrative way, something she has been doing since 2006. Kate uses a variety of colours within her work & I love the diversity of her designs. Kate also has an online shop & a blog which is updated daily. Enjoy, Hannah.













Urban Outfitters

Urban Outfitters have some new crazy prints this season amongst dresses, tops, shorts & leggings. There are a variety of prints including animal, tribe, florals, damask the list is endless. I love the combination of animal & damask print on the dress in image 3 particularly the colours, there is also a little bit of lace detail on the top too. Enjoy, Hannah

One of the great things about Wanelo is that you can create shopping lists and wish lists online, that you can share! There is even a 'pin it' button that lets you pin straight to Pinterest! Have fun sharing and visit Rachael's Wanelo profile here!
