I love these Armani ads - the sensuality and all the black...

The sweet Jessica of Chronically Vintage was so kind and gave me this award. If you haven't visited her blog yet, I'll tell you it's one of the most inspiring and beautiful blogs I've ever read!

Dress ideas

I've decided to make a draped dress, here's some of my inspiration and sketches.

Winter coat

One of my plans for the weekend is to change the length of a black winter coat that I bought in a charity shop last week. It's 100 % wool and therefore warmer than most of the thin 60% polyester/40% wool coats they sell everywhere, and except from being too long it fits me perfectly! Outside it's snowing again, and it's really peaceful to see the soft snowflakes falling down...

I'll leave you with some winter pics of my grandma!

 

 

Changeling

Angelina Jolie as Christine Collins

Christobal Balenciaga

Sometimes a dress or a hat can be more like a piece of art than a piece of clothing, and when I see these pictures I imagine that the designer looks at the human body like an empty canvas rather than a naked body that needs to be dressed.

Darlings, I wish you all a really lovely weekend!

 

Snow

Outside it's snowing and even though it doesn't stay yet, the winter's definitely here now. I actually like the winter just as much as any other season. Ice skating on the lake and skiing in the forest are just some of the things I love doing, as well as drinking lots of tea, wearing warm jumpers, scarves and wool socks, lighting candles, meeting up with friend and baking ginger bread. But before it gets any colder I hope to find a new winter coat (The one I wore last year is not warm enough for the Norwegian winters). Happy winter everyone!

Street style

I just have to share these pictures of a girl called Madeleine with you! I get the feeling that each piece is special to her, and she puts them together in such a way that the hat doesn't take the focus away from the bag, or the jumper doesn't take the focus away from the shoes, but you notice how lovely the whole outfit looks, and how lovely the girl looks!
