I can’t believe it was one year ago that I was getting married!

I also can’t believe it’s been ages since my last blog post.

In honor of that, I wanted to share with you our so-far unreleased wedding video here!

SO much has happened in this last year, and so much has happened in these last 5 months since my last post.

For starters I wrote a book, all approx. 20K words of it, over 500 sketches, edited with my book publisher and launching in September! It is available now for preorder on amazon here.

I literally poured my heart and soul into this book and spent months creating something so special to inspire you if you, especially if you love fashion illustration and want to learn how to draw! It’s all about mastering my Sketch & Go techniques from my years in the industry and live sketching practices at events and fashion shows!

I have wanted to write so many blogs in the meantime but I have not even had a second, which leads me to how fast Chic Sketch is growing!

We have launched a new website this past February chicsketch.com, launched a second version of our app Chic Sketch 2.0 where you can tag your sketches (just download the app for free, submit a photo for $9.99 and wait for your Chic Sketch to be created by me or one of our talented fashion illustrators), view weekly fashion trends curated by me, see feeds of our live VIP co-branded events from award shows to private events with Kate Spade or Hermes, watch a video of your sketch being created, chat, share to social media and more!

It has literally been non-stop! I am creating my dream life with my husband in our relationship and our company Chic Sketch.  It takes a lot of blood, sweat and tears but is worth every second! We work so hard to create amazing things for you to enjoy with more on the way!

I hope to update my blog more but for now I will have sporadic updates.

If you want to stay in touch with me you can follow me on social media @EmilyBrickel and @ChicSketch on Instagram, facebook and my newest favorite, Snapchat! (My snap name is Emily.Brickel and ChicSketch) or email me at Emily@EmilyBrickel.com or info@chicsketch.com

My husband and I just returned from Spain this morning from our cousin’s wedding and our anniversary trip, I am beyond tired but this is something I have really wanted to update you on and share my wedding video! It was a really special night and I have so many amazing memories from our wedding.

I want to say that I feel so blessed and honored to be able to create my dream life and I really believe that you can too by keeping a positive outlook, dreaming big and working hard.  I miss writing for you guys and I am working on a way to update and incorporate everything I have been working on in one place so stay tuned for an updated website coming soon!

Lots of love!
