How to dress in the Provence Style

Hello guys,

I’m at the Provence. Provence is a casual and relaxed part of France. The French Provence style creates a calm and laid back feeling, like countryside romance. What to wear is pretty easy.

 The print that suits the Provence the most is of course the romantic floral one. Other prints are the classic ones like stripes or polka dots. Key in choosing your outfit is to keep it relaxed and breezy. Talking about the color palette, it needs to be as gentle as possible. Neutral soft colors are the best. Top it off with some casual sandals and you’re good to go!

 Extra must have items: a sunhat and sunglasses

 I’m wearing my pink floral skirt and pink striped top from outfit Lucy Roses (PN-0164660). It suits the breezy Provence style perfectly, don’t you think?

Have a great day!

Park Güell

Hi there!

 So much to do here in Spain. Last week I celebrated the new year in a dog shelter, doing some voluntary work. This week I thought it was time for a touristic day in the city. I went to Park Güell in Barcelona, designed by the architect Antoni Gaudi.

Do you ever take your dolls on a holiday or trip? Then you might find them getting dirty along the way. For this, I have a great tip: use toothpaste to remove dirt! Even marker stains disappear with a touch of toothpaste. And for tangled hair, a little fabric softener can do wonders. Your doll will be shining as new!

 Enjoy your day!

New year, new me!

Happy New Year, guys!

The first day of the new year is always something special. It’s a new start, time to become the best version of yourself. For me this means making some resolutions for the new year.

I’m already fulfilling the first one: volunteering a little more. Today I’m helping out at a dog shelter in Spain. So many dogs are all alone on the streets and the shelter is helping them get fed and walked with.

 As promised, here’s the tutorial on how to make the shirt that goes with the dungarees I made last week.

Have fun!

The mountains are calling!

Hi there,

 After the warm Chili I just landed in the less warm Switzerland. Walking the Swiss Alps was on my bucketlist for along time already. For these walks, the proper outfit is necessary. That’s why I made myself a very comfy dungaree. It keeps me warm and is easy to walk in. If you want to make it yourself, here’s movie which explains how to do it! Next week I’ll post a video on how to make the shirt I’m wearing underneath my dungarees.

 Have fun!

Sewing hack #4

Hi guys,

I arrived Down Under for some kangaroo spotting. After Canada I really got the hang of spotting animals with my binocular. I’m looking forward to seeing some kangaroos here in Australia.

 In the meantime I have another sewing tip for you. Sometimes your pins are a little stubborn and don’t want to go through the fabric. To make this easier you can put your pins in a piece of soap. This way you can push them through the fabric smoothly.

 What is your sewing project for the moment? Let me know in the comments!

 See you later, alligator!
