a little place to call my own (art and fashion blog)

Yesterday I was wondering about how I could thank my dear readers for all of their support and then it occurred to me that I could host an art giveaway. Nobody has ever complained about getting free art- not that I know of.  Besides, it has been a while since my last art giveaway, hasn't it? I have made some new art recently so the time seems right. Yesterday I posted my first fashion illustration of the year on Instagram (after not using this platform for months and was surprised that so many people still remember and follow my account). Anyhow, I'm here with a new art giveaway that will include not one but three watercolour paintings. I decided to include a painting from yesterday's post in this giveaway as well. The start of a new year always makes me want to be more productive.

THE RULES OF THE GIVEAWAY
The rules of this giveaway are very simple. You should write why you want these paintings. It doesn't have to be an essay, one or two sentences can be long enough. …

Hello darlings! I know I say this every year, but there is something about the start of the new year that really appeals to me. Even when I'm sad, I always feel better on the first day of new year. There is something to be said about starting over. Maybe it's all the positive vibrations in the air?  You know, the fireworks, the atmosphere, the good wishes everyone is sharing.

Anyhow, I've been thinking about what should I post for the first day of the year pretty much all day. Last year I posted a fashion illustration. I distinctly remember posting some outfit posts for the start of new year. This year I decided to do a little bit of both. To start with, I'll post one new water…

Before the midnight strikes and we enter new (and hopefully prosperous) year, I'll like to take a moment and reflect on year 2018. This was definitely one of the most  hardest years of my life, but curiously enough, this didn't reflect on blogging at all. If anything, my blog was an eventful and happy place this year, filled with all kinds of content. It was a great blogging year. So, at least something, right? Now it's time for a little recap of 2018. I've decided to select some of my favourite posts from last year and group them posts into categories. That way you can browse those you find most interesting. The posts will be divided into following categories: fashion illustrations & art, Inspired by,  DIY projects, travel, book reviews and writing.



FASHION ILLUSTRATIONS & ART 
 I posted many many fashion illustrations this year. Some were drawn without a reference, some were inspired by runaways looks and some were a part of my Inspired by feature. I opened t…
