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

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.

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  Inspire...

Holiday season teaches us one important lesson: giving can feel fantastic. Isn't it so? If you feel like you haven't gifted enough or to you heart content this Christmas and you feel like giving more, you're probably looking for New Year present proposals. Today I'm back with some arty New Year gift ideas.  If you're looking for some New Year shopping inspiration, you've come to the right place. I've put together a little selection of products (mostly from Redbubble) to help you decide. I've also left a link to the square neck dress I'm wearing in this post. Pairing a square neck dress with a shirt or a turtleneck can be a great idea for a New Year outfit, especially if you want to make sure you feel cozy and warm.
