Flamingo hat

Thursday, November 22, 2012





Flamingo hat: H&M Unicef collection
Vintage 50's dress: Dear Golden
Vintage silver owl brooch: Birthday present from Jonna

I found this hat at H&M about a month ago and thought it was marvelous! It also had a matching dress, but since I'm not 10, it wouldn't fit me. Too bad! They had about 4-5 different fun hats to choose from and since it also was a collaboration with Unicef, some of the money went to charity. Well, the hat followed me home and I'm keeping it in my collection of masquerade clothes!

This week I have been relaxing and taking it slow in the sofa. Sometimes you just need that time to unwind so that you can come back with more energy then before! I'm very good at planning to much stuff into my days and agreeing to everything I think sounds fun. If I don't have a project going on I become very restless..That's why it is so important for me to sometimes slow things down. Some really boring time in the sofa will give you the energy you need for all the fun projects you can do!

This weekend I'm working but hopefully I will be able to take a turn through IKEA and buy that bedframe I've been wanting for so long! So when I'm busy at work, take som time, relax and don't be afraid of being boring for a little while!

Ps! Did you know that the awesome vintage shop Dear Golden is having a 25% off Holiday sale right now? All that prettyness i's killing me!

So it has officially become autumn here in Sweden. The leafs are turning yellow and in a few weeks some of them will change color again into burning red, my favorite little period of the season, when the trees amazes me again and again. This past week I've been working lika a maniac, seven whole days in a row! That's why I've planned a weekend trip with one of my best friends. The two of us and her boyfriend are togheter taking a cartrip down to Linköping, a smaller town in the middle of Sweden. Just felt that I needed to see something else and this weekendvacay came at a perfect time. We will visit our dear friend Johanna who moved to Linköping to study a while ago. I've never been there before so it will be nice to see what the town has to offer and knowing Johanna she probably has everything planned out! I will post more about our trip next week!

These photos were taken a beautiful fall day when the air was cool but the winds were soft. I was inspired by the rich colourpalette and wanted to do something with an english flair but I think it turned out a little bit impressionistic.
