Will do better!

Another day without a dress pic, but if it´s any consolation, I looked just dreadful:)) I was meeting a client so I had to put on something decent and conservative and came up with a 3-year old pink spotted dress from Banana Republic. Don´t get me wrong - the dress is absolutely pretty - just totally wrong on me! And I´m sure you have those dresses hanging around your closet as well? But I can´t get rid of it, because it´s still pretty, and somehow I hope one day it WILL be perfect....

Anyway...going to see my client I had to travel by train through the very outbacks of Sweden. It´s like true Stieg Larsson-country, if you know what I mean. Downridden factories, burned out buildings and loads of people in trainers and training clothes obviously with nothing important on their mind apart from walking the dog on a Friday morning. All young boys seem to be wearing black caps and most women wear men´s t-shirts and people qeue endlessly at Sandy´s because the one girl behind the counter is chatting to a friend, and they don´t even get pissed off!...Its like an alien planet out there! Most people are sweet and nice and talk in a language I understand, but still not...and after 9 hours I return home and feel like I´ve been in another world even though it was just Ludvika...

I left the Countryside 35 years ago and I never want to go back, but sometimes, just sometimes, I cant help wondering if they´ve got something I don´t.

And I also get so inspired by little scenes from reality - like what are three teenage Philippine girls doing playing Las Vegas Black Jack in Borlänge?
So this weekend will be the start of a new book project, me thinks. Wish me luck!!

So...there was no pic yesterday. Son and I combusted and the result was....NOTHING!!!
But in todays beautiful weather we managed to stay friends and get a nice pic on the balcony. Cherrydress from Daisy Dapper (brand:Heartbraker) and the cardi is Swedish brand Twist&Tango.

Monday once again

Lovely weather and so I got to pick a summer dress and an old favourite. It´s actually a Stop Staring-dress, but specially produced in this material för Pompom Parlour, a Stockholm-based shop and a particular fave of mine. Basically becaise they have one of the best salespersons in the world, Mistress Maria. She always makes me feel beautiful and special, and so I rarely leave the place empty-handed!

The cardi is a genuine vintage-find from Beyond Retro.

Friday a lttle late

I know its Monday and I didn´t give you a pic Friday, but *grovel, grovel* - here I am now!

Interesting view, right?


The dress is Mrs Murphy and can be found at Daisy Dapper.
