Hello lovers!

These photos were taken quickly at the amazing university building in central Uppsala. the weather was very windy so my hair was a bit messy. But I still like the tranquility of the place! Unfortunately I didn't have that much time so I only managed to take these snap shots, but I've got some wonderful dresses coming in so I might have to revisit this place with my camera!

The university in Uppsala is very old and is one of the things that the town is known for. I think that you can say that it was founded in year 1477 and that it is the oldest university in the Scandinavia region. This building is an amazing display of neoclassicism and I remember how I could feel the wings of time there when I started studying arthistory. Isn't one of the magic wonders with architecture how it can make you reflect over your position in history and time? The campus is actually bigger than this building so for the most part, or almost always, I had my lectures in a more modern local closer to my home. But the university house is the center of it all and every semester new students are welcomed in through a big ceremony in the auditorium and it's also here that you get your doctors degree.

Well, otherwise I'm working a lot (as always) and because I just love having to much to do I will have my second club now in December and I also agreed to be the producer of a big show on the Regina theater this spring. Besides that I also have to finish my chemistry course and apply for the restorer school in Göteborg. So, I'm sorry that I sometimes update very sporadically but for the time being that's the way it is. I have an ambition of posting several times a week but when life intervenes there's not much I can do. I'm still very thankful for my readers and I really love reading your comments!

(I am much better at posting on Instagram, where my name is simonastreet, if you want to follow me there!)

So, I've been contemplating it for a while, since many of my readers are international I will try to write in english. But my love for the swedish language may still shine through though and you should also be prepared for some misspelling and funny grammar!

Well, thought I'd give you a short introduction of myself. My name is Simona, I am 24 years old (going on 25) and I live in Swedens oldest university town Uppsala, very close to the capitol Stockholm. I am a trained arthistorian and a lover of bygone eras. This blog is 'bout me, my photography, my love for vintage and everything else I find interesting. I love to mix new and old, find bargains, visit exhibitions, try and make stuff, travel, be inspired, work with colours, dance, collect beautiful stuff (anyhting from old cameras to fawns), photograph and so much more!

Welcome!

..Btw, just had to show you this beauty of a skirt! Found it at the shop Milkteeths on etsy. I had already bought two gorgeous dresses from her so I knew that the shipping would be fast and that the description of the skirt would be accurate. When it arrived I immediately had to take it out for a spin around town! Isn't it adorable?

Update: Did you know that Milkteeths is having a 24% off birthday sale today, saturday september 22? Check it out!
