Happy New Year!

A mix of cozy winter items and a positive outlook.โ  The calendar is sold out (thank you!๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป) but I have lots of other paper-goodies available in my Etsy shop.๐Ÿ›’ Take a look if you like what you see, and want to support a small business. Dutch shops are sadly still closed so I could really use it. Take careโ ๐Ÿ’š

Hej! Scandinavian Style, Illustrated.

Scandinavian Winter Style, In Drawings.

Scandinavian-winter-style-inspired illustration, because French style is not the only style I’m obsessed with.โ .

I love the simple, practical yet elegant fashion that Scandinavians are known for. They really know how to dress well for the cold. I often think of their famous saying: “There is no bad weather, only bad clothes” when I feel like staying inside because of bad weather. It really motivates me to go outside anyway.

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.

Expectations vs Reality: French Holiday Style.

French Holiday Style And Adventures! In Drawings, Of Course.

Above an illustrated recap of my recent trip to Northern France. Below you can see the (very stylish and sunny) picture I had in my mind before going. Here now, is the more realistic “after” version. The weather was pretty bad (no bikini needed) and the trip certainly had some challenges (including being stranded hours away from our apartment at night, and no taxi willing to pick us up) but the bread, wine and cheeses were so delicious it made up for a lot and almost made us forget about the rain!โ 

Expectations:

Above you can see how I envisioned my French Holiday style. In reality no bikini or aftersun was needed. Raincoat instead.

More Expectations:

We hand planned to be in the water a lot and to try Stand Up Paddling.ย  In reality: zero time spend in the sea because of the bad weather.
