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!

Hello November, Let´s Make It Cozy!

Wishing everyone a happy & healthy new month!

Spring Mood 2021, In Drawings.

Spring Style 2021, Pinterest Inspiration Drawing

Watercolor drawing of my spring 2021 mood, inspired by my Pinterest mood boards. Every season I like to look at Pantone’s new color trend predictions and search Pinterest for spring outfit inspiration. When it comes to fashion, I’m not a trend follower any more. I mostly stick to my basics, like jeans, polka dots, comfy sneakers and bohemian style accessories. But I also like to add a few fresh elements and colors. You can follow me on Pinterest or Instagram if you’re curious to see more things I like.

Second Lockdown Spring

This time last year, I did not expect to be going into our second lockdown spring. I really hope by the time summer starts, we’ll all be able to enjoy it together again. For now, I will just enjoy it as much as possible, close to home, and in small company.

Retro Rainy Day Outfit, In Drawings.

Vintage Vibes Fashion Drawing

My fashion mood today. Yep, it’s back to winter again. It’s cold and rainy and perfect weather to stay inside and work on my illustrations. Do you like the retro/vintage color combination of this fashion look? Wine red (bordeaux) is probably my favorite color to wear (besides black) and also my favorite color to drink at the moment.😉 Enjoy your day!

Sunny February Days, Illustrated.

What I Wore In February, In Drawings.

I was working on several wintery illustrations and then it was suddenly spring! One of the things I love about freelance life is that I can be flexible with my hours. So today, to fully take advantage of the sunny weather, I took half the day off for a long hike and a sunset picnic. I do have to work late now, but since we have an evening clock at the moment, I don’t mind so much.⁠🥖🍷

The illustration above is a recap of my day, as part of my ongoing illustrated fashion diary/what I wore series. When I do these I always like to look back at the same time from the previous year. Here‘s and example from February last year.

September Girl Boss Mood, In Drawings.

Girl Boss Style, Illustrated!

This is my September mood. It has been a very busy and productive month for me with little time to for myself or to update my social media or anything else really. I’m going to use what’s left of September to take it a little slower and focus more on my self care routine again.
