Day 3: A little bit of Spring

Weather is still awful -cold, rainy and not a bit springish. But today I decided to put a little spring in my look, by adding a floral pattern. The skirt is Oasis and the blouse http://www.vivienofholloway.com/

Day 2: Warm and cosy

So today spring had a setback and it was actually snowing again! Just for a little while, and it just came down and went away - but it was cold and my darling winter coat got out of it´s hidingplace again. I promised you all autumn that I would show you a pic, so here it comes:

Iy´s real vintage ofcourse, and I bought it at the Vintage Fair in October. I´m really sad I missed the Fair in April, because I do NEED a spring coat!! But I´m happy this one seems to last until next winter as well:)

Ofcourse I didnt just wear a coat (that would´ve been really interesting!) so here comes my outfit for today:

The clothes are all high street-stuff so I was inspired to do something fun with the pic. Turned out sort of artistic I think:) Sweater/cardi is from Indiska, skirt is Zara and camisole is H&M. 

Day one: Lady in Black

So here comes my first dress, my fave Trashy Diva...the shoes are Clark´s and so comfy!

1st of May and a new project!

During the month of May I will put up a new outfit every day of the week! Except weekends....(unless I feel narcissistic ofcourse).

This is my simple, humble..*cough*...way of staying on the wagon. The shopping-wagon that is.Nothing is gonna be bought this month, and to prove to myself I don´t REALLY need to shop, I´m gonna put on a new outfit every day!

Ofcourse seeing myself on pics will probably give me an incentive to 1) loose weight 2) buy some candy to comfort myself and 3) rush out and buy something in the right size... But lets see, shall we?

So until tomorrow - have a great Sunday evening and be careful out there!!

New Dress!

I told you about Mrs Murphy´s dresses the other week, and I was excited when I heard a few copies was on sale in the shop Daisy Dapper, who sells these dresses exclusively. Apparently the seamstress has not been able to get them ready on time, so the shop just have a few dresses so far, and not all sizes.

But even though the leopardprint one was my favourite, it was not the dress that left the store in a brown paper bag...instead it was the bluishgreen one with a sweatheart-neckline and a lovely buttondetail. I just can´t wear the brownish-yellow leopardpattern, because the colouring is all wrong! I do love it though, and will keep on buying leopardprint bags and accessories...can´t help myself!

Apart from some retailtherapy, my Easter has been contemplating the computerscreen and rewriting and editing. As my latest contribution to the literary world hit the shelves this week, I realise it´s time to get going again! I have a plan worked out, so just wait and lets see what happens:)

Happy Easter, whoever you are out there!

An item on new brands

Recently I have been obsessing about my wardrobe. Could be because I have my very first walk-in-closet, or that I don´t actually have any money to spend, due to my new very high rent or maybe simply because it´s SPRING - a time of year when atleast I always wants new things!
So - I´ve been checking out my regular haunts and shops and have come across a few new brands.

http://www.emmydesign.se/sv/

is a Swedish brand from Gothenburg and accordning to their website they aim to make feminine, flirty and fun clothes. The girl on the pics is obviously the designer herself, which explains a bit. Because I have to be honest - the clothes are lovely but not the best for a curvy girl. I have tried on a few pieces now, and the crisp cotton and the detailing is lovely but doesn´t hide much, nor stretch and the sweetheart neckline does not give a proper bra a decent chance...But if you´re not a curvy girl - try them out. Reasonably priced and as I said, great detailing.

Dangerous Dresses by Mrs Murphy http://www.mrsmurphy.se/collection2.aspx?m=81

is something I´m really looking forward to, though! They will be sold at Daisy Dapper http://daisydapper.com/ but at the preview in the shop the dresses were all in small sizes, so if that doesnt change, I´m gonna be miserable. On the other hand they probably gonna cost a bundle, so maybe I´ll be saved from my own ruin:)!

Waiting for the perfect dress I did check into my fave-shop online and made a wish-list....

I´m back!

Well, more or less:) I´m letting you know I´m still alive and kicking anyway!
