I illustrated some of my favorite spring 2017 fashion trends for Hello Giggles this week. These include: colored stripes, flared jeans, bright colors, floral prints, big earrings and silver shoes/fabric. I especially LOVE the Man Repeller Fruitcake t-shirt! Too bad pink does not suit me 😦

Spring is here! Today is officially the first day of spring. Time for spring cleaning, planting seeds, long walks, ice cream and drinking rose wine outside.

Spring is coming! After days of non-stop rain we finally had some sunshine this weekend and I’ve started to slowly introduce some spring elements into my wardrobe.

For Hello Giggles I illustrated some ideas for the in-between-weather fashion struggle. You know, when one minute it already feels like spring, but the next it’s back to winter. As you can see, I focussed on timeless pieces, in neutral colours, that you can layer. With these pieces, you will be prepared for whatever the weather will bring you!

These last weeks have been so cold that I was slowly turning into a sheep! My vintage shearling jacket, boots and mittens were the only clothes warm enough to keep me from freezing. Not a lot of room for fashion when temperatures drop below zero (at least not for me). Luckily I was so busy with illustration jobs that I could spend a lot of time inside with my thermos filled with tea right beside me.
Wearing: shearling jacket, wool cardigan and mittens, Vintage – jeans and tights, H&M – hat, Newyorker – boots, so old I don’t remember – thermos, Mizu.

So far, I have spend most of this November inside. After a few days in Amsterdam, where I went to see The Lumineers (yay!), the flu got the best of me. Today I’m finally back working at some illustrations. Here are some of my favorite things of the moment, including my new Dali Katch speakers. They sound even better than they look! I take them into my work room when I’m working, into my kitchen when I’m cooking, and yes, into my bedroom when I’m sick in bed with the flu. After all, music heals, hopefully even flu 😉
Wearing: maxi skirt, vintage – sweater, H&M – bag, vintage – mittens , handmade – shoes, Carmens -nail polish, Maybelline Superstay – blush, MAC

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
