A few months ago my buddy Victoria and I had a bit of a shopping day to prepare for the summer season. I am typically a solo-shopper these days (I blame having so many male friends in the UK) but it was great to have a friend to share the experience with, especially someone as […]

The Colour Orange
I have not worn orange for about 10 years. I’m not sure exactly why as my wardrobe is bursting with a rainbow of shades. Orange has just never been that interesting to me. As a hair colour, on the other hand, I have always been a bit obsessed (Hi red-headed friends who read this, I […]
DIY – Electric Blue Cat Eyed Look
I am currently on holiday from work, reading books, doodling and irrationally knitting. Oh, and of course visiting second hand shops! The weather has finally been treating me well, and I am loving the time I get outside. I am so pleased with this year’s crop of freckles. I feel like a speckled egg! (SPF is applied […]
Summer Sun
Finally, it has arrived. The summer sun. Along with it the pieces of this great season start falling into place. Warm rays activating distant freckles. A lightness in my step. Flowers stretching for life. Ice cream drops on gravel. Cotton or Silk today? The sticky smell of sun lotion. Sand between toes. Dusty Plimsolls. Grass […]
DIY – Vintage Book Bag
My latest DIY was inspired by some of those beautiful Olympia Le Tan embroidered book cover clutch bags. While I am a fan of embroidery, it is a skill I have not yet dared to schedule into my overly ambitious craft plans. One of these plans was to try and make a bag out of […]
Scalloped Summer Style
I spent this weekend at our summer house in the south of Sweden, but the weather was so miserable we decided to return early. So, I figure why not cheer up this rubbish start to June with an outfit from a particularly warm day in May! Wearing shorts from & Other Stories and eyelet cotton […]
Vote Audrey..& Other Stories
& Other Stories is my favorite store…if you couldn’t tell by the multitude of posts dedicated to this amazing brand! The thing that pulls me in is their incredibly creative and fun attitude to fashion. It’s Scandinavian minimalism with pops of bright colour, clever prints and interesting shapes, mouth-watering beauty products and ridiculously cute lingerie. […]
Blue is the Warmest Colour
Some blue things I found around my room. Thrifted hand-dyed silk scarf, was going to use this for some DIY, but ended up wearing it and now I’m sort of hooked. Wearing American Vintage shirt dress, courtesy of Panda. My new tea set, second hand of course and provider of much comfort during this rainy […]
Jeanne Damas…& Other Stories
I have to admit, I recognise a bit too much of myself in this video for & Other Stories starring Jeanne Damas, a French blogger and official new girl crush! If she peeked your interest as well you should watch this interview by Modette Sverige to have a peek at her cute 70s Parisian chic style. It is partly in Swedish, but the interview is […]
DIY- Altering a Dress Hem (Tulip to Full)
To think I was considering putting this dress back! I want to share an easy DIY on altering the skirt of a dress from tulip, to full and flowy. I was considering leaving this after first trying it on. I loved the feel of the fabric and fit on top but the tulip hem ruined it […]
Hand Lotion…& Other Stories
Denim Dress: Altered second hand, Leather belt; vintage, Sunlight; about god damn time Sorry for the mini pause; I have been a busy busy bee this spring, but not too worry. This blogger is back in (unpaid-)business with big plans, all to be revealed in due time! We all need some intrigue in life, right? […]
Spring Colours
Like the snow in the woods melting into a network of babbling brooks, Spring pours out into my veins. Every moment in the sunlight is an opportunity for my freckles to blossom. Flowers start appearing, snowdrops at first, then crocuses, even a daring daffodil. Soon it will be time. No more hiding behind bobbled layers, […]
DIY – Chop Chop, Hop to It
I got this Asos dress last summer at a car boot last summer after falling hard for the monochrome print. When I got home to try it something about the model didn’t feel right. I put it on my DIY pile and, as with most things that end up on that pile, forgot all about […]
