All Pretty Things

Loving...

While doing some research for school I went to check Louise Campbell's work and I just had to share it with you. It's so inspiring! Not only she creates really beautiful pieces, but I find her concepts very interesting too. It's not over-thought, it's a bit literal so there's some degree of fantasy and it's intelligent. Here are some of my favorites, but check her website, it's worth a visit!

From where I sat

The past three weeks have been crazy, had two exams last Monday, I've been sick for some days and time seemed to fly away from my hands. This is basically what I saw for the past weeks:

But now that it's over and the result was more or less satisfactory I get to enjoy the weekend, sleep longer that 6 hours and see friends again.

Enjoy your Sunday!

Accessories

I would love to own this Pomellato ring. Isn't it cute??

Last week a good friend of mine was visiting us in Amsterdam and while shopping with her we talked about accessories and I told her that I don't buy any ear-rings, necklaces or rings anymore as I used to ten years ago. Sometimes while I'm getting readu I feel like wearing some other jewelry than what I wear everyday, but that's where the thought stops. For some reason, the conversation has been in my head ever since.

And the truth is, I wasn't totally honest. True, I don't own many jewels nor I buy them, but the reason why I don't is not because I don't like half of the things I see (which is also a reason), but because the half I do like, I can't afford! And I don't want second bests. 

So for now, the only thing to do for me is dream! One day, one day...

Birthday

Not mine, boyfriend's. So, I took the opportunity to bake! (and decorate :))

so grown up

Have I told you I looove plaits? There's something childish about them, I know. And I don't mind, I just love them. There's one problem though, I can't really make them myself...But since my mom was here for some days, she made them for me! like I said, so grown up...

unstoppable?

Maybe! Eight days to start school and I feel the urge to leave every other project finished and ready. And so I have a couple of new things to show you.

Have a look at this below...

Yes, you guessed it. I have another blog. Well, it's not really a blog. It's my online portfolio. It will one day evolve into a website, but for now it will linked to APT. Here is the link: andrea ibargutxi styling

I've also been changing my study room and it's almost ready. Here's a peek to how it looks now. I will show you the other side of the room once it's ready, together with the before and after pictures.

That's all for now! I hope you enjoy the rest of your Sunday, I sure will.

Wasting no time

I only have a couple of holiday weeks left and I can't wait to start my second year at Artemis. But in the meantime I've been busy with other fun projects. One of them is still in progress so I'll show you when it's ready.

The first project I want to show you is this!

 

That (above) is my very first post at ONLY.com, where I'll be blogging once a month. So exciting!! Go check it in case you can't get enough of me ;) or you want to read other wonderful bloggers writing about fashion, style and beauty.

The second project I want to show you is a menu card I designed for Hidden Kitchen, a culinary event organized by excellent chef, writer and even better friend Amsterdam Foodie. She was looking for a rustic yet minimalistic look. And this is how the menu cards turned out.

More projects will follow but for that, I need to start working on them! So, for now, I leave you with this. I hope you like it!

Summer is not over

I know it's August, new collections in all places, days getting shorter... but I still feel like buying summer dresses and thinking of beach nights.

The fact that I discovered Ruche via Snippet&Ink is not really helping either...

Probably it's because I can't shop (due to lack of work) that I dream about shopping so much but I promised myself that once I get a normal full-time job, the first salary will be destined to shopping. I know I probably won't do it and will end up paying bills and saving the rest like I always do, but I love fantasizing about spending money on clothes and shoes right now.
