I’ve had a lot of requests to bring back the illustrated how-tos for Hello Giggles. So here is a new one with Hillary Clinton Halloween costume ideas. I’ve got 90’s Hillary and 2016 Hillary. Whichever Hillary style you prefer, don’t forget to vote!

So far this October I have been very busy working on a number of projects. But I also made time for some shopping! After all, one of the most fun things about the start of a new season is sorting your wardrobe and adding some new (or rediscovered old) favorites! I love to mix new with vintage and I’m especially happy with my “new” vintage coat, that will keep me warm all winter!
Wearing: coat, vintage – bracelet, alà – off the shoulder top, mittens and underwear, H&M – skirt and leather bag, vintage – lip balm, Maybelline – shoes, Carmens
Drinking: lots of tea with honey
Listening to: The Lumineers and Kings of Leon

This was actually the last print that I finished for my new calender. In it are some of my favorite things for fall: tea, mittens and a warm oversized scarf.
Wearing: jacket, dress and mittens, H&M – scarf and bag, vintage – shoes, Sacha.

Bye bye Dutch summer, you were short but sweet. Hello Autumn! I look forward to autumn walks, Netflix nights, home made brownies, boardgames, books, dinner parties, warm socks and lots and lots of tea!

September so far: sunshine, some orange in my Dutch wardrobe, The Lumineers’ Cleopatra on repeat and finally reading The Catcher in the Rye.

I made this illustration for the launch of Oh! You Pretty Things Magazine. I was asked by the magazine’s editor in chief (and über-stylish fashion photographer) Youna Baupoux to illustrate my idea of typical Scandinavian style. Just click here to read the oh-so pretty magazine!

Summer means festival season and this was the first dry one this year, so no rubber boots this time! In stead, I could finally wear my new favorite summer dress and sandals 🙂
Wearing: dress, Zara – sunglasses, Newyorker – backpack, a gift so unknown – lipbalm, L’Oréal sexy balm – waterbottle, Dopper – mixed bracelets, Anna + Nina, A la and Etsy, sandals, Femme Plus

We’ve finally had a few lovely sunny days here! It was almost too hot to draw but I still managed to finished another calender page.

The Dutch summer so far: rain, rain and more rain. Excellent summer weather to stay inside, read, drink tea and have an occasional sunny cocktail.
For Sparknotes I recently imagined what 8 fictional female characters would save on their Pinterest pages. I had so much fun making these! You can see a few here, to see all eight just click here.
