Blogger What's in my Bag: Ashley of Sugar and Cloth

Hello Saturday!

Where have I been? I have no idea and I'm not going to even attempt to make excuses because there are none. Let's talk about this pretty illustration instead.

This year I wanted to bring back my Blogger What's in my Bag series but instead of forcing myself to feature someone every month I've been really selective. This month I was so tickled that Ashley of Sugar and Cloth not only replied to my email but actually wanted to be a part of my series. Woo hoo! So here are her picks for her What's in my Bag illustration. Pretty nice right?!

If you'd like to take a peek at all of the lovely ladies I've featured in my series head on over to my Blogger What's in my Bag Pinterest board.

Also if you'd like one for yourself you can pop over to my Etsy shop and find my Custom What's in my Bag illustration.

Blogger What's in my Bag: Geraldine of Little Big Bell

 Hello Monday!

How exciting, I finally have my first Blogger What's in my Bag collaboration of the year to show off with you today! 

This one is extra special because I not only got to feature the amazing London lifestyle blogger Geraldine of Little Big Bell but I also got the chance to illustrate her teenage daughter's favorite items as well... even bigger plus it was UK's Mother's Day yesterday. How sweet! Please head over to Little Big Bell to get a closer look at all of the items featured in the illustrations. I especially loved drawing all of the super cute, colorful and fun Kate Spade and Ban.do goodies.

What's in MY Bag! A Video

Hello Wednesday!

Today I thought it would be fun to show off what's in MY bag. I may or may not have simply forgotten to get in touch with a blogger for this week (oopsie) but hopefully you find this fun anyways! Since buying my gorgeous white leather backpack I've loved wearing it daily to carry all of my essentials when I run my usual errands around Stockholm. It's so nice to have everything on my back and out of the way of city life. Plus I think it looks really cute.

This is the last What's in my Bag of this year. Sadface. I'll hopefully start up my Blogger What's in my Bag series again in January, but I'm not sure. Sigh. The series has been so much fun for me to create, but has kind of lost momentum. I really don't want to stop these illustrations so I'll just have to figure out another way of presenting them in the new year. If you have any suggestions I'd love to here!

I'd also like to thank all of the amazing bloggers that I've had the pleasure of creating illustrations for, for my series. It's always so much fun to see how each girl's personality really shines through their favorite items. I also really appreciate all the help sharing and promoting my work too!

Oopsie I haven't blogged since my last blogger WIMB, but oh well at least I keep these up. Yay! Today I have the pleasure of featuring the super sweet food blogger Kasey of Kasey's Kitchen. She may quite possibly have the cutest website ever (check it out) and her approach to cooking is very relatable and fun. p.s. Those custom shoe bakery heels are just killing me!

Besides Kasey I've had the pleasure of featuring so many other inspiring and stylish ladies. To see my entire series you can view my Blogger What's in my Bag Pinterest board here...

I'm working on tons of new products that I'm just soooooo incredibly excited to show you. Here's hoping they get finished real soon!

Blogger What's in my Bag: Rosaria of Arscity

Hello Wednesday!

It's blogger What's in my Bag day, hooray! This week's illustration features Italian architect blogger Rosaria of Arscity. I adore her classy sophisticated style.... just look at that bag! I'm so glad to be featuring another fellow European since I've been featuring lots of American ladies lately (not that that's a bad thing.) I'd love to go even more international, do you know of any lovely Australian, Asian or European bloggers you definitely think I should feature?

In other news, Johan and I booked a trip to Italy at the end of November. For my 30th birthday Johan said he'd treat me to a romantic long weekend in Italy this Fall. Since summer is over it was time to plan our trip and I've had to much fun researching all of the big cities. In the end I decided on Rome! I'm so excited! I've never been to Rome or anywhere in Italy so I just can't wait to see what it will be like. If you've been please let me know what we definitely shouldn't miss.

I'm looking forward to lots of delicious food, wine and long walks through such an iconic historical city.

Blogger What's in my Bag: Ella of Ella Et Cetera

Hello Wednesday!

It's blogger What's in my Bag day, hooray! This week's illustration features the very stylish and sophisticated teen blogger Ella of Ella et Cetera. I first meet Ella in internetland in 2012 when her super cute bedroom which featured a few of my EmmaKisstina prints was featured by TeenVogue. You can see the feature here... It's always so exciting to see my prints in your homes. It makes me so happy to see how and where you choose to display your new artwork. (p.s. if you'd like to show me your prints in your home you can use #emmakisstina on Instagram... I even share a few on my website.)

May I just say that I adore this black, white, red, peach, gold, and blue color scheme.... oh and the Mansur Gavriel bucket bag is so dreamy!

Blogger What's in my Bag: Alex of Beautyosaurus Lex

Hello Wednesday!

I've got another sneaky blogger What's in my Bag illustration to show off with you today. I find them so much fun to create that having to wait a week in between them just seems far too long sometimes.

This week I had the pleasure of drawing beauty/lifestyle blogger/YouTuber Alex of Beautyosaurus Lex favorite bag items. I think Alex is just darling, and has such happy fun preppy style that I knew it would make a lovely illustration. (Am I right?) I adore her videos and find that I can relate to her even with our different styles and age difference. She's also hilarious! Visit her Beautyosaurus Lex channel here.

Have I mentioned before that I'm such a YouTube lover. I've subscribed to countless funny, talented and beautiful girls and I adore listening to them chat away about makeup and other random things as I create my EmmaKisstina illustrations all day long. I'd love to feature more vloggers in this series. Who would you like to see?

Blogger What's in my Bag: Flora of The Accidental Londoner

Hello Wednesday!

Can you see something very different about today's Blogger What's in my Bag featuring Flora of The Accidental Londoner? Besides there not being a lick of pink anywhere to be seen there are also no beauty products featured... not even a lip balm. Fun change don't you think?! Lipsticks and jewels are traded for coffee shop reward cards, Penguin Classics and lots of note taking. All of the essentials for playing tourist in your own city.

If you are planning a trip to London, or you're just an Anglophile you definitely must give Flora's blog a visit. I've been to London 3 times. The first time I visited I didn't quite like the city, but on return visits it's grown on me more and more. Can't wait to visit for a fourth time!

Besides Flora I've had the pleasure of featuring so many other inspiring and stylish ladies. To see my entire series you can view my Blogger What's in my Bag Pinterest board here...

Fell off the blogging schedule a bit, because I just didn't have much to say or share.

But today I definitely do, since I've got another amazing Blogger What's in my Bag illustration to show off. Today's illustration features the inspiring and pink loving Gala Darling.

Gala is a ray of sunshine and I'm just so tickled she was so enthusiastic about being a part of my series. I of course enjoyed creating this illustration a little bit extra because look. at. all. that. pink!

Blogger WIMB: Carrie of WishWishWish

Hello Wednesday!

It makes me so happy that so many lovely and inspiring ladies want to be a part of my series. I've sent off many emails and thought that they would never in a million years answer me. I've been pleasantly surprised many times over.

Such as a week or so ago when the sugar sweet British blogger Carrie Harwood of WishWishWish emailed me back to say she'd love to be featured. I was so tickled and so pleased to see all the super cute items she'd have me draw. I really adore her fun loving colorful and slightly quirky style. She is just darling. Isn't her new light green Mulberry just the cutest?!

I'm also completely smitten with her gorgeous new blog design. I've been a fan of illustrator Kristina of KrisAtomic for a while and I think the design turned out just so very perfect and fun. I really adore her style! I also love that Carrie has the design as a custom iphone cover too. Clever!
