Outfit details:
orange, purple and pink silk scarf: Birthday present from Malin
small black cat earrings: Faz Jewelery
lipstick: Chanel, "Monte carlo"
vintage multi coloured 60's mods coat: Milk teeths
vintage Japanese 70's pussy bow blouse: Standard Vintage
nailpolish: Essie, "Chinchilly"
black lace miniskirt: H&M
high heeled black suede shoes: Din Sko

These pictures were taken at the "The house of music" in Uppsala. It's a concert hall in the middle of the city that was very debated when it was planned and built. Some people thought that the modern architecture would stick out as a soar thumb in between the older buildings, others thought that the proximity to Stockholm made this building useless and some thought that the building was a great way of growing Uppsala's city center. I didn't really care about this debate and I do like the building, mostly for it's amazing view over some of Uppsala's highlights like the castle and the old cathedral. But as always we are a bit moderate in Sweden, if it was up to me, the exterior (who is now light grey and black) would make as much of a statement as the interior. Isn't the red colored escalator and floors fun?    

Also, just had to show you this amazing coat and super cute pussy bow blouse! These two pieces just goes together perfectly and I've been thinking about shooting them both for a while. The coat is actually one of my birthday presents from Erik that he bought (through me) from the lovely Ashley at Milk teeths of course! I first saw this coat on her blog (where she styled it with mustard yellow stockings, very cute!) and I couldn't believe that it was for sale. So I quickly sent Ashley a message to reserve it and after showing it to Erik it was mine. Well, it is actually a little bit too cold to wear it right now but with a cozy cardigan underneath I braved the cold and managed to take a twirl around town in it yesterday! 
The blouse is from one of my new favourite shop's on Etsy: Standard Vintage! And I am a little bit hesitant to share it with you since I don't want to miss out on all the beautiful pieces myself. But I can't keep a good shop to myself, cuz' there's nothing as fun as sharing and this shop is really great, so go and check it out!



And, thought I share a bonus picture of me just hanging out at "the house of music"!   



Zooooom!

vintage pearl and aurora borealis necklace: Maejean vintage
vintage orange psychedelically printed 60's silk dress: thrifted
vintage light brown Valentino di Pietro handbag: Rut&Raul


Woah, I've been a bad blogger, I know. Well so much has been going on it's crazy! 
Well, I celebrated my 25th birthday last friday and let's just say it will take some time until I plan a party again. It was so much hard work but I hope everyone enjoyed the party! First I had a dinner with some of my closest friends and then we headed over to the club. During the dinner I couldn't really relax so I actually had the most fun at the club. One amazing thing about the club is that I've started a soul club called "Four get overexcited" together with my boyfriend and two friends! So, my birthday party was actually also the premier of the club, and it went so well! Everyone complimented us on the music and our two dj's (Lady Midnight and Karl Marthon) who are big soul collectors and also good friends loved the vibe and Lady Midnight even promised to come back and play again, and he is quite hardcore in to his stuff so even though we are friends I know he would tell me if he weren't happy with the evening. 
This was amazing and I would like to thank them and everyone who came! Thank you so much! 

I also got some sweet presents that I will share on the blog when I come around to it! And off course I will post some pictures, even though I was a bad photographer who mostly danced and hung out with my lovely friends.

Well babes, otherwise I'm working my ass off and trying to come back on the creative train. This picture was actually taken at the wonderful hotel L'hermitage in La Baule and I can fell that my french nerve is tingling  Maybe I will have to go back soon. And, by the way, thank you soo much for your wonderful comments! It really warms my heart to hear from you and read what you're opinions are on different topics!

Lot's of love!

Outfit details
round tortoiseshell colored Sunglasses: 1 dollar find
vintage leaf necklace: thrifted
white buttoned blouse: H&M
60's seafoam cardigan: Capricorne vintage
purple and orange graphically patterned pants: Lindex
vintage Valentino di pietro leather handbag: thrifted
high heeled clogs/sandals: Moheda

A couple of weeks ago I visited La Baule at the western coast of France togheter with my boyfriend and his family. It was a beautiful little town with both a marina and a perfect beach. We were primarily there for a wedding wich you can read more about here, but the days after we could stroll around and just breathe in the sea air. Unfortunatly I caught a cold but it didn't matter since the wedding already had been celebrated.

Now it is turning cold here in Sweden and you can feel a shift in the air, you want to wear warmer sweaters and drink too many cups of tea all snuggled up in the sofa. That's when these memories from wonderful vacations wich I save as treasures in my heart, really is needed. They make me remember the feel of summer sunshine and to not forget that even tough the winter is long, the sun will shine again. 
And well, I must say that in the mean time it's kind of nice to wear cozy socks and crawl up in your home like a little bear prepairing for winter, just as long as you know it's not forever.
