See? I wasn't kidding. Birds on everything!


This is what my bedroom wall now looks like.
Those bird stencils have been seriously handy.
Anytime I'm like "Hmm... what can I do with my day.... study? HAHA ohhh ho ho, NO, I'm going to procrastinate and paint birds on everything instead!"

At least this procrastination looks pretty.


(I stole the inspiration for this design (okay, I basically stole the design) from this pretty lady's tattoo.)

Also, I wanted to tell you all my exciting news! I've been asked to contribute not one, but two features to Alorika (formerly Atomica) magazine!!!!! I will be writing them a kind of how-to style guide with some photos of myself, AND a how-to on vintage shopping! I'm so excited about it! I've had to do lots of "research" for the vintage shopping guide (such a good excuse to go out thrifting). It's been awesome. It'll be out April 15, if you want to get yourself a copy! It's such a sweet magazine too, go and check it past issues here. So, so flipping excited.

Hope you're all having the sweetest day,

Annika xxx
