Dutch Summer
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.
Imaginary Pinterest Pages
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.

Hey June!
This is actually not exactly what I’ve been wearing most at the moment. We’ve had nothing but rain for the last weeks. But yesterday was sunny and today is looking good so far, so I thought this would be a good time to share my “June’ illustration for my upcoming birthday calender (which has been a little bit delayed because of work on other projects, but it’s coming soon!)
May, so far.
Finally a few sunny days and even the first pick nicks of 2016! Also very happy with my new Marc Johns book.
Wearing: t-shirt, Alternative Apparel – bracelet, A la – small purse, Solmode – cap & jeans, H&M – sandals, Birkenstock – straw bag, vintage.
Book: The Daily Artist by Marc Johns.
Festival Style Must-Haves, In Drawings.
Festival Fashion Essentials For 2016, Illustrated.
Summer means festival season and these are my festival must-haves. This is an updated version of an illustrated how-to that I did for Hello Giggles in 2014. I’ve made it a little bit more ‘2016’.
As a regular festival-goer (In Europe) I recommend as absolute essentials: layering for when it gets colder in the evening, comfortable shoes or boots, SPF, dry shampoo, all-in-one wipes and a small rain poncho. If you have these basics covered you can go crazy with your festival accessories!
In The Mood For More Illustrated Festival Fashion Inspiration?
Take a look here for Festival Style 2019 or 2017 version. You can clearly see the changes but also that some are just festival classics that stay the same.

Spring favorites, so far.
Yes! The sunny part of spring has finally started in my city and I’ll be off to the park soon. But these have been my spring favorites for the more wintry part of the Dutch spring.
Wearing: boyfriend blazer, Newyorker – dress and tights, H&M – bracelet, Ala – bag, vintage – berry liptint, Maybelline – nail polish, Catrice – shoes, Carmens.
Dreaming of Summer
I’m longing for summer and this is what I want to be wearing to a lovely picnic in the park. But, no such luck with the Dutch spring. It’s more wool sweaters, extra socks and staying inside to escape the rain, wind and even snow! Luckily, I can always draw a sunny scene!
Sneak peek!
One of the things I’m working on at the moment is a birthday calender. Here’s a little sneak peek at what will be the illustration for April.
