There is no getting away from ruffles this spring. Most of the shops have already got their own takes on these flattering, flowy shapes. Personally I am craving a light blue top to toughen up with some cut-offs, and there are even faint plans in the works to make my own. Until then I am more […]
Carved 1920’s Bakelite
A throwback to February for a simple outfit where this true vintage treasure is the star! This turn of the century pendant is made from some of the first plastic, bakelite. It’s highly collectable, funny considering how most people feel about plastic these days! This is truly one of my most precious pieces of jewellery. […]
Magical Violet Syrup Recipe
It’s the time of the year when violets start popping up. Normally disregarded as a common weed, these vibrant purple flowers are pretty incredible. Their scent is unmistakable and while it may divide people’s tastes, I’m a huge fan. Last April I discovered the abundance of violets in our garden, and set out picking in order to […]
Unreasonable Birthday Wishes
The month of April is precious to me, it is my birthday month (because on the inside I am turning 7 not 27 eek!) I sometimes find it hard thinking of what I want for my birthday, seeing as you tend to buy what you want and what you don’t buy is usually not purchased […]
A few days of April
It’s been a while since my last post, and I’ve been keeping busy and travelling quite a bit. Now that it’s spring I’ve settled into ordinary life again, and hope to share some of my trips with you soon. In Stockholm the sun has been shining and I’ve been taking advantage of that to every […]
DIY – Mini Drawing Tutorial
Learning to draw can be a long process, and it is something most people have to practise to be able to do well. I thought I would give you a little insight into how I draw when using a photo reference. Normally I draw portraits, however I wanted to show how the process works when […]
Spring 2016 Flat Lay
I mentioned I had picked up some items in the sale recently, and here they are. All the tops are from Noa Noa where I have learned you have to size down, they are very generous with their sizing! I plan to wear them tucked into high waisted skirts or just with jeans. The skirt and […]
The Fashion of Gustav Klimt
Gustav Klimt is an artist who’s work has always been very inspirational to me. The patterns, textures and graphic shapes in the paintings perfectly accompany his soft portraits. You can imagine my delight in discovering that the clothing that played such an part of his paintings actually existed! I’ll give you a quick re cap of the story […]
Homemade Pretzels
Every time I go to Germany, I seek out one thing; Pretzels! I love their chewy texture and salted exterior, and they are so pleasing to the eye. I thought I would try making my own having felt cravings ever since my last visit in Summer and not going back to Berlin until Easter. My […]
Painting – The Wave
I have finally gotten round to completing this painting after putting it aside many moons ago. I had painted part of the hair, the base for the face and the wave, but was really unhappy with the colour scheme. I had started to stray from more cool blues into purples and greens and to be […]
Tea Tin DIY Ideas
I have spent the past year working in a tea shop, a shop that is very peculiar, old-fashioned and full of great inspiration. There are things to look at in every nook and cranny at The Tea Centre of Stockholm, but one thing that captures most visitors’ attention is the vast collection of different tins […]
Spring Style Inspiration
Pointed ballerinas by Christian Louboutin from their Spring 2016 “Nude Collection” Fashion works fast, ahead of the seasons and the weather. In the world of high-end design reality doesn’t quite fit in, practicality nor price-wise, so why not dream away from the cold winter and pretend to shop for a life in a different reality. There […]
