What I Wore, Then & Now, Part 2.

What I Wore (In Drawings) And How I Wear It Now. Part 2.

I thought it would be fun to take and older What I Wore drawing, and update 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.)

So above is the updated version of the illustration for the May page on my birthday calendar. I replaced the white embroidered top with a black embroidered blouse. I mostly wear black tops now, because I think it looks better with my chestnut hair (almost ginger really). The sunglasses broke, so I replaces them. Everything else I still use and wear, including one of my favorite vintage straw bags that I love for picnics. The clogs I actually never owned but still love and would like to wear.😉⁠

Which version do you prefer? Also, If you like this you might wanna  follow me on Instagram and Pinterest for  more regular updates, or shop my illustrated postcards and other papergoods on Etsy.

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

I thought it would be fun to take and older What I Wore drawing, and update it to how I wear it now. Because, believe it or not, I still own many of the pieces I drew years ago. (They weren’t favorites then for no reason.)

So above is the updated version of the illustration for the April page on my birthday calendar. I replaced the stripes with an all black top (I’m over my stripey faze) and switched to a more practical backpack. I own many nice bags, but I almost never use them anymore because my backpack is just so much more comfortable and practical. I still love the denim skirt and my Converse All Stars.

Hello February! (In Drawings)

2023 02 February blog Cindy Mangomini

Cozy Winter Mood At Home, Illustrated.

Hello February! I always love the start of a new month to make plans and think of ways to make the most of that particular month.

For February it’s all about creating coziness at home. When it’s raining and dark outside I love to chill inside with candles, snacks, a glass of wine, a good book or a nice show to watch under a warm blanket. I also give my plants a little extra attention, because some of them are struggling from the lack of light and the cold. What do you like to do in February?

PS. This illustration is from my 2023 Wall Calendar. I still have a few copies available on Etsy, now with 25% discount.

2022 Hello February Cindy Mangomini blog

February Style Inspiration, Illustrated.

Hello February! I always love the start of a new month to make plans, set goals and think of ways to make the most of that particular month.

For February it’s all about creating coziness inside, while getting as much daylight as possible and enjoying the rare sunny days to the fullest. It’s also a month to give my plants extra attention, because some of them are struggling from the lack of light. What are your plans for this month?

This illustration is an updated version of one of my wall calendar’s February pages. Sadly I didn’t have time to make one for this year, but keep an eye out for the 2023 calendar later this year.

Take a look here and here for my February pages from previous years.

Making The Most Of Winter Lockdown Life.

Illustrated recap of how I’m making the most of the cold and dark Dutch lockdown evenings. I look forward to more daylight soooo much (vitamine D, please!) and being able to spend more evenings outside, but for now this is what most of my evenings look like. Not too bad actually.. 😉

If this drawing is giving you all sorts of happy and cozy feelings, I have a very similar illustration available on a postcard on Etsy.

Hey June! Hello New Month!

2021 June Calendar Mangomini blog

My Sunny Plans For June, In Drawings.

It’s June, and a new month, as always, means a new calendar page. I filled the June page illustration with sunny, spring-in-the-city vibes. A cool but comfy outfit to stroll around the city, have a drink outside or a picnic in the park. The last few days the rain has finally stopped here in the Netherlands, so I can actually act out my illustration in real life😎

Wishing everyone a happy and healthy month!💚

Eat What You Want Day

2021 National Eat What You Want Day Mangomini

Happy National Eat What You Want Day!

Today, May 11th, is Eat What You Want Day, and for me that looks something like this. These are some of my favorite foods that I could eat every day, and probably would if it wasn’t so unhealthy to do so. As you can see a lot of cheese and chocolate plus of course French Fries with mayonnaise, I am Dutch and that’s the way we do it!
