Hanging on to Summer: My Cozy Trans Seasonal September Style, Illustrated.

Sneezing Into September: An Illustrated Recap.

September for me started with a bad cold, flu, or whatever it was. I´ve been trying to get better with tea and honey, lemon juice, vitamin C rich fruit and putting lots of ginger and garlic in all my food.

When I´m not at home trying to rest, this has been my favorite outfit lately. As you can see, I´m hanging on to summer with my sandals and (mostly) unnecessary sunglasses. The umbrella on the other hand is very necessary, unfortunately. The beautiful fair trade leather bag, that I had my eye on for a long time, I was lucky enough to find at a vintage shop not so long ago, in excellent condition. Yay!

I hope to feel well enough soon to enjoy the last sunny days. At the same time I also love the idea of a cozy autumn and just making the most of any kind of weather and every season.

Hope you are all having a good start of September. See you soon!

Summer Day Style 2024, In Drawings, Of Course.

The Things I Can’t Get Enough Of This Summer.

After many months of mostly rain, summer days are finally here…Yay! This is an illustration of some of my favorite items, that I wear and consume all the time. I love being on, in and near the water so my mismatched bikini is one of my most worn items. While I’m doing these water activities I usually bring food for a small picnic. This always includes a fresh baguette, a few cheeses and a bottle of rosé wine. I still adore this vintage picnic bag that I bought for almost nothing, years ago.

I hope you’re also enjoying the sunny weather! I will try to update here a little bit more often, but I can’t make any promises.😉

What I Wore, Then & Now, Part 7.

What I Wore (In Drawings) And How I Wear It Now. Part 7.

This is the seventh time I’ve taken an older What I Wore drawing, and updated it to how I wear it now. Because, believe it or not, I still own many of the pieces I drew years ago. They were favorites then for a reason!

Above is the updated version of the illustration for the November page on my birthday calendar. Below the original drawing.

I still own all of the clothing items on here, although I haven’t worn the cardigan and boots for a while. But I still love them and am keeping them for later. At the moment I’m wearing my cold-shoulder sweater a lot and when I’m not wearing sneakers I like a platform boot with a little bit of a block-heel.

Then there’s a coffee-confession: I love drawing coffee related items such as the peculator, but in reality at home I drink instant latte macchiato.😳 I’m not proud!

A few other new favorites, including my retro Casio watch and Hemp lip balm from The Body Shop. Which version do you prefer?

I still love this dress and the bag. I’ve added my favorite sandals, added new (vintage) sunglasses, my favorite silver hoop earrings and added a few little cactus planst that are growing fast this summer. Small changes this time, but which version do you prefer?

Sunny Summer Faves!

My Hot Summer Day Favorites, Illustrated, Of Course.

I´m not good with heat but I try to make the most of it. Usually that means finding shade in a forest or going for a refreshing swim in a cold lake or river. These are the things I bring along on such days.

Above is the updated version of the illustration for the July page on my birthday calendar. Below the original drawing. This is an outfit that I still wear, although the sandals eventually didn’t survive all the long walks I did in them and needed to be replaced, with similar sandals. I also added my current favorite sunglasses. I still have the old ones, but don’t wear them much at the moment.

Just a few changes this time, but which version do you prefer? Also, If you like this you might like to follow me on Instagram and Pinterest for more regular updates, or shop my illustrated postcards and other papergoods on Etsy.
