January Favourites, In Drawings.

My January Favourites, Illustrated Recap.

As you might be able to tell from this illustration, despite the lockdown and an evening clock here in the Netherlands, my January has been pretty OK and much better than my December.

Why? Let’s see:⁠
– Getting my Vitamin D with regular muddy hikes in good company⁠
– New music and an album coming soon from Ben Howard⁠
-‘Conan O’brien needs a friend’ makes me laugh so much every week.⁠
– I did 2 (very) cold water dives in the river and felt SO good afterwards⁠
– A lovely sunny trip to the island of Brrrrr with Andrei⁠
– A lot of chilling at home, cooking, reading, dancing, Netflix, etc with zero FOMO⁠

How was your start of 2021? ⁠💚

Cute & Cozy Winter Style, In Drawings.

Hand Drawn Winter Happiness!

Yes, we finally had some snow! The city looked so pretty covered in snow, even if it was only for a few hours 😊 I hope you’re enjoying your weekend and staying warm, safe and cozy.💚 This drawing fits to my happy winter mood of the moment. I also have it available on a postcard to spread the feel-good vibes. You can also follow me on Instagram for more regular updates.

November Faves So Far, In Drawings.

Things To Enjoy In November, If You Ask Me.

My November favourites, so far. The weather has been so nice here. I’m going on regular hikes with lovely sunny picnic breaks. I’m also enjoying chestnut picking (very relaxing!) and chestnut eating. I hope you are also enjoying your autumn. Take care!⁠

October, So Far

Illustrated recap of my October, so far. Trying to make the most of things and not go crazy.⁠ Take care! ⁠

(PS. Treated myself to a new dress from Nobody’s Child to cheer myself up. It helped, haha!)⁠

Second Hand September

It’s #secondhandseptember , something I can totally get behind. My home and closet is filled with second hand items. I love it because it’s eco-friendly, budget-friendly and a way to find unique one-of-a-kind items that you won’t find anywhere else. I will probably draw some of my personal favourites later this month. But here’s an older one, that I also have available on a postcard in my Etsy shop.

February, So Far, Illustrated.

My February Favorites, In Drawings.

Illustrated recap of my February so far. As you can see from this drawing, I have spring, and spring fashion & colors on my mind. In reality I’m mostly sticking to my trusty work uniform of blue jeans and black sweaters. I’m also becoming more and more of a plant lady and am currently trying to make sooooo many plant babies. (Let’s hope some of them survive!) In between illustration jobs I’m working on several home improvement projects. Stripping off old wallpaper and painting walls, to name just a few.

Vintage Fashion Lover

Vintage Fashion Lover And Drawer.

Want to buy less fast fashion, but still love to shop? Buy vintage! I love going to second hand shops because you never know what treasures you might find. It’s also good for the environment ánd for your wallet, so what’s not to love?

(Almost) all items on this illustration were thrifted by me, except for the lipstick of course😉 I´m always looking for vintage Levi´s jeans, use my vintage Dr.Martens boots for hiking and the extra large bag is perfect for French picnic vibes, oui oui!

PS. I still have 20% off on EVERYTHING in my ETSY shop until February 4th.

Personal Style December

This will probably be my last what I wore illustration of 2019. I haven’t made that many of these this year, because I just haven’t been buying a lot of clothes. One of my goals at the start of the year was “Less stuff, more adventures” and I really have gotten rid of so much stuff already ánd bought very little new stuff. All the items in this drawing were bought before 2019, except for the skirt (and the food of course!) As for the “more adventure”part: I did travel quite a bit this year and tried some new things. I will continue to keep this goal going into 2020, with even less (unnecessary) stuff and even more adventures!

2019 favourites!

The end of December is a great time to look back at the past year. These are some of the things that I enjoyed most in 2019. I hope you enjoy taking a look at them too! 😉

PS. The bag is from Booming Bags. It’s handmade, Fair Trade and made from leftover materials.

Autumn Mood

It’s starting to feel like autumn. I always love dressing for a new season but I do hope for some more summery days! (And I’m trying really hard not to get sick.)⁠
