Beauty Inside Art

This year has had its ups and downs in all aspects of my life and that is also evident in my art journey.  This has probably been the year in which I drew the most, even though I had occasions where I would not draw for weeks. I started focusing on my art skills in the summer of 2014 and I have improved dramatically since then. You will be able to see the difference from my 2014 sketchbooks which I will share with you soon on my youtube channel.

Another fashion post today. I definetely have a weakness when it comes to fashion, and this post proves it. A couple of weeks ago, Farefetch introduced me to this amazing competition, in which you had to create a fashion forward look using a Dolce and Gabbana items from their website. The look should also include a Sicily bag and be true to the brand's italian style. The winner would get a mini Miss Sicily bag.

I feel like I haven't posted something fashion related for so long! Well, it's because it's been ages since my last post, which was in the summer!

Have you known that I am a filmmaker? Well, I have shared another post in the past talking about a day of filming for a class project. You can check it out here. However, the short film I am sharing with you today, was made prior to that bigger film. This was also created for a class project of the same course - Film Production 1. I have made other films after this one and I might share them with you in the future.

I was having a really long day at uni and my internship at Rialto Theatre. I finally got home, knackered, about to have dinner, when my father said he wanted to show me something, I got a bit annoyed. Truth be told, I really wasn't in the mood for anything other than going to bed, but he showed me a tiny, brown, scared puppy. He was a bit frightened as he had left his mum and siblings for the first time. As soon as I saw him, I loved him.

Pale pink is probably the last colour you would think for Christmas, but personally, I have fallen in love with Essie's Fiji. It feels like a shade that could be appropriate for every time of the year, for every season. For summer it's fresh and cool, for autumn is fun and unexpected, for winter it can mimic the snow and cold weather, for spring it can represent the fragile new flowers that are beginning to blossom — that sounds rather poetic.

I'm doing another wishlist today, but this one's about shoes! We all love shoes, don't we? Shoes and bags are a bigger weakness than clothes to my little heart. I'll be picking some of my favourite items from ShoesPie - http://www.shoespie.com - which has a great variety of boots for women cheap - from two categories, that pretty much sum up my personality.

Yesterday, I was introduced to a lovely online store, Aisle Style (check out their facebook page too). It is an affordable store with great variety and elegant styles of Wedding, Bridesmaid, Evening Dresses and Accessories. The website is really easy to navigate and use, with great filtering options so you can find exactly what you are looking for, for any occasion. Since I'm not planning to get married any time soon, I'll be doing a wishlist of my favourite Bridesmaid and Evening Dresses.

Hello everyone. How are you doing? I'm currently quite stressed as uni work just keeps piling up, but I've managed to find some time to write this quick nail post. I would like to talk about a rather new purchase - featured in this haul video, the Rimmel London 60 Seconds Nail Varnish in 850 Aye, Aye, Sailor. What a cool name, don't you think?

Hello everyone. It's been ages since I last wrote a blog post, because I have been quite ill the past two weeks. I wanted to get this post up at the very beginning of this month, but I literally couldn't. I won't bore you with the details.

Anyway, I had a few ideas for 'alternative' Valentine's Day prints/cards and I did these for fun a few weeks ago. I've decided to put them in my society6 store in case anybody wants a copy. They were all created on thick watercolour paper, with a black ink pen and watercolours. Later, they were scanned and some text was added to them. Also, I decided to play around with different colour variations - I have more on my store.

It's still the first month of the new year so I am entitled to post some kind of resolutions for 2015. I have quite a few random ones, do well at uni, get better at drawing, sell some illustrations, be happy, see my friends, enjoy quality time with my family, etc. But when it comes to my blog, we are entering a different and bigger set of resolutions. I've managed to narrow it down to around 5, though.
