My first project for SparkLife!

Sparknotes - Cindy Mangomini

I’m happy to share my first project for SparkNotes with you. I was asked to create five first date outfits for their favorite fictional heroines. I loved making these and you can see the results here.

My Favourite Heatwave Favourites.

Getting hot in here- Cindy Mangomini

What I Wore To Stay Cool During The Heatwave, In Drawings.

During the recent heatwave I had only 1 thing on my mind: how to stay (somewhat) cool! The workspace in my apartment got so hot that my bikini became my new work-uniform (one of the advantages of working from home!)

This is a drawing of my personal favorite things that are keeping me cool during the hot weather. If you like this you can follow me on Instagram and Pinterest for regular updates or shop my illustrated papergoods on Etsy.

Wearing: everything is this illustration is H&M, except for: “lucky” bracelet, Anna+Nina – vintage denim skirt – canvas tote from local bookstore – sunglasses, Sacha.

How To Be Parisian (Part Deux)

How to be Parisian - Cindy Mangomini

How To Dress Like A French Woman, In Drawings.

This is my second illustration inspired by How To Be Parisian (wherever you are). After finishing the book I felt like drawing another recap. I’ve also been practising my French for about a month now (Oui oui, très bien!) Like everyone else, I secretly want to be Parisian too! I even have a few French-themes items available on Etsy, like this Bonjour Postcard, for example.

Fresh start during a heat wave!

Heatwave- Cindy Mangomini

It’s been a while since I had time to work on this blog, but I’m back! We’re in the middle of a Dutch heatwave and I don’t mind spending some hours inside, hiding my pale skin from the sun.

My heatwave favorites are: black a-line top, H&M – big sunglasses, Sacha – scarf (to protect my head and hair)  bought at a festival market -shorts, H&M – leather sandals bought on holiday in Greece – bikini bottom, Newyorker – bikini top, H&M – mixed bracelets from Ala, Anna+Nina and Etsy.

How To Be Parisian (Sort Of)

That 70’s Trend

Here’s how to rock that ’70s look right now

This week’s illustrated how-to is all about the big seventies trend that is happening at the moment. Every season, a specific decade seems to take over the runways and this time it’s the seventies. I’ve illustrated some of the key items and shapes. One word of advice: don’t wear them all at once, unless you want to look as if you woke up in the wrong decade 🙂 See you next time!
