IN A MAGAZINE



In this week's issue of Kamille (a Norwegian magazine for those who don't know), you can see a familiar face!
By the way, no, I'm not twenty years old.. Don't know why they wrote that.

THE BEGINNING OF THE END OF THE WEEK





Shirt: Cubus, leather skirt: H&M, tights: Primark, belt: vintage Moschino.


These tights make my legs look like some sort of candy canes. That's awesome. And I love my new Moschino belt! It was waiting for me in the window of a vintage store in Portobello Road, and I just had to buy it straight after trying it on.

LOVEDON








A week in London is far away from enough, as this fabulous city has so much to offer! The past seven days have been loaded with fun, and my love for this city is undoubtedly stronger. Can't wait to study here. Being in a place that never sleeps is so appealing to me, no doubt about that. As you might have noticed, the blog has been neglected, but I'm sure you can understand why!


(And yes, the pictures above are almost the only ones I have. Bad, I know.)

A BAD DAY IN THIS CITY IS STILL BETTER THAN A GOOD DAY ANYWHERE ELSE





Portobello Road, policemen wearing hats, mind the gap, Oxford Street, Bond Street, red doubledeckers, Big Ben and so so so much more. Yep, you guessed right. I'm going to London tomorrow! Can't wait to put my feet on British ground again.

SOMETHING BURGUNDY





New in: Burgundy red leather pants! A much needed addition to my wardrobe, as it suffers from severe lack of pants.

STYLE IS DEFINITELY ETERNAL







The sense of style among the elderly is something that never stops to fascinate me. I love the concept of this blog, which is showing a part of all the well-dressed, older people out there. These creative ladies and gentlemen truly deserve a place in the spotlight.

DIY: PATTERNED T-SHIRT





A piece of the fabric I bought turned into this t-shirt. I like the combination of the wide neckline, simple shape and bold pattern.

SEWING SOMETHING NEW



Bought some fabrics yesterday, so I'm going to spend some quality time with my sewing machine on this rainy Friday evening. New DIY's coming up soon!

LIKE A DISCO BALL



Skirt, coat and sweater: H&M, shirt: secondhand.


My sequined skirt has been hiding in my closet for a while now, so today I decided to take it out for a spin. Trying to get better at wearing a wider selection of the garments in my wardrobe.

ROAR



Despite the fact that this Christopher Kane dress is a few seasons old, I still love it. There is something utterly cool about animal printed garments.

Some days I just really feel like wearing something basic and simple. Today was a day like that.

PATTERNS HERE, THERE AND EVERYWHERE











I'm really into crazy and bold patterns nowadays. Sadly enough, I don't think I own any garments with such patterns. Adding that to my shopping list.
