Pictures: Style.com and Elle magazine

How amazing is this tunic by Emilio Pucci? I would LOVE to have it in my wardrobe and I would wear it always. Especially to the beach. 

I got inspired by the amazing sketch I found in Elle magazine pictured above to sketch a little, so this afternoon I have been fighting an incoming cold with hot drinks and some sketching. I can't claim being good at it, but I think I am learning more, slowly. Earlier today I went to the park with my dog and just enjoyed the temperature reading a magazine whilst she (the dog) ran around doing her own business. It was nice. 

I have a few new things in my closet that I want to share with you, will post later on or tomorrow and show you! 

must. go. shopping.

Clothes and accessories from Zara, Topshop, Acne and H&M

I am usually quite good at holding on to my money since I am a poor student and don't really have enough money to go on major shopping sprees but the last week or so I have seriously been having trouble. There is just so much I want mixed with the stores being stocked with so much nice stuff that I'm almost bursting. I have been imaginary shopping on the internet, surfing the different sites and saving everything I would like on my computer, and yesterday I made this collage with random cravings. And although I have been good at holding onto my money, today I think I might have a relapse and go out and spend money I don't have on a few new things for my wardrobe. Red warning-light blinking...


My favourites in this collage are the colourful trousers and shorts, the Celine look-alike shoes, and the shorts with the fringes. But I also love all the Acne shoes. And I really need an everyday blouse/shirt that goes with everything. And some new tops. And a pair of black trousers. And I would really like a pair of white trousers, I would match them with white. And I definitely need some new belts. And I love the flower pattern on the shorts and trousers. And I need a black sleeveless top. OK basically I am bursting with shopping desire... Haha.

This is what my table looked like after I emptied my pockets and took of my accessories the other day. Today I think it will look a little different - try no sunglasses :-( I will try and convince my boyfriend to take some pictures of my outfit later, but he is in a lazy mood today...

Primark shoes, Acne trousers, H&M shirt and leather jacket unknown (don't remember...)

Today the temperature was much kinder to my closet and I got to wear open shoes and bare midriff. I also wore my new ring from Topshop and brought my iPhone with my new Mulberry case with me. Can't wait for the temperature to rise even further so I can wear shorts, seriously sick of the long winter we have had.

On another note, I have my last exam for a while on friday, so after that maybe I will have more time for the blog. Also, I feel I should tell you that the London College of Fashion that I applied for for autumn and went to London for assessments this past month got back to me - I got in!!!!! So soon enough you will be reading all about me moving to London, I have already started organizing, planning and making "to do" lists!

London calling

I had mintgreen nails and my marc jacobs rings...

 I wore an Acne tshirt...

 Thomas Sabo necklace...

Acne shoes and H&M trousers

 A cool store with playful shoes on Carnaby Street...

 These heels are great!

Met a nice Irish girl with an amazing skirt from Topshop...

My boyfriend... And the Shakespeares Head pub with a cool clay dude looking out from a window above....!

The only thing I bought myself on the trip - this ring from Topshop...

So this is what I looked like on the second day in London. It was really warm and although we had our coats with us we strolled around not wearing them. Some people were wearing shorts and bare legs even. I went to London for an interview with Central Saint Martins London Fashion College and it went well, I will find out this week or next whether I get in. We ate some good food and had some nice times and I am already hoping to go back soon. London is such a cool city with so much to explore, it's amazing! 

As for now -  I am back home in Stockholm and studying, two more exams await next week. The weather is getting better and better and my cravings for spring clothes stronger and stronger. Ah well, I guess that's life as a student eh?

Day one

We were in London for two days. The first day we only managed to get out in the evening, after traveling and leaving our light packed suitcases at the hotel. We went to a restaurant called The Criterion which served fine dining food, very good. It was located right by Picadilly Circus so that's where we ended up taking a few photos. At this point I was very tired and I may look a little rough but at least you get an idea of what I was wearing; transparent top and necklace from H&M and shoes from Acne.

Tomorrow I am working all day but will post photos from the second day in the evening so stay tuned...

my saturday

Back from London and deep in study mode as my exam is tomorrow. My saturday was spent traveling from Englands capital to Swedens capital and this is what it looked like at the airport: Starbucks blended fruit juice, sunglasses and a gift from Mulberry from my boyfriend. What is it? I will show you later. Wish me luck on my exam, I will update and post London photos tomorrow! Xoxo

London

I have been sick since sunday so the blog has suffered, but can't stress enough that it is called no promises for a reason. Still sick but a trip to London is booked and I fly out tomorrow. I have packed my outfits and my camera. My boyfriend is meeting me there so hopefully I can provide one or two interesting London blog posts when I get back! Which, by the way, is on saturday so until then the blog will be quiet... 


My budget is sadly minimal so I am not going on any major shopping sprees but obviously I will be visiting favourite budget stores like River Island, Aldo and Topshop whilst I'm there. Speaking of Topshop, I was surfing around on their website and found all of these nice jewelry pieces. Maybe something will get to come home with me, love the silver bracelet cuff, I would buy two and wear one on each arm. Also love the bright red necklace, would match it with more colour!!


So wish me a safe flight and I will update when I'm back (and hopefully not sick any more!!!).

studying

Studying and books are piling up much like this photograph so I don't think I will have time to play with my camera until this weekend, if I'm lucky. Exams are beginning of april so after that I am going to have much more time for the blog, and looking forward to it! Xoxo

today

Today I went for a look with a hat... It felt right and I really liked it. With my hat I wore my shoes from Acne (that need cleaning after today) and some silver bracelets and some rings. It was yet another sunny day but don't let the sun fool you because the temperature is still lingering at 0°C... So yes - I wore a jacket on top and on some of the photos you can see me wearing my Acne cardigan as well. 


Studying didn't go so well, I got maybe an hours worth of studying done... Really need to put my head into it as exams are coming up. But whilst that is going on I am applying for jobs, preparing for my visit to London in a weeks time and wanting to learn more about my cameras features and playing around with photoshop... Speaking of my camera, I have made this post expandable if you would like to see some of the photos I took on my walk with my dog in the park today. Just click below! Next up is bed for me, tomorrow I have school and yoga on the schedule!

Here is a preview of what I am wearing today. So far today I have only had time for a long walk with my dog whilst exploring all the features of my new camera, so now I really need to spend an hour or two studying. But pop in later for more pictures and a complete outfit post!

Pictures: unknown

I received my new camera yesterday so at the moment I am looking at inspiration pictures and looking forward to learning all the functions of my new camera. Sadly I haven't had time to start test-using it yet but I'm hoping I can put off an hour tomorrow learning it's functions and then bring it with me for my daily walk. 

At the moment my inspiration lies in capturing details and creating beauty in black and white. Playing with shades and focusing on different textures and materials. Other than that I am dreaming away to warmer days where I can have beachy, half curly hair and bare legs.

block

At the moment I am so into colour, it will definitely be my thing this summer. On top of that I love how designers this summer have mixed colours in a kind of block way. Above are shoes from Fendi, runway photos from Jil Sander and bags from Celine. Today I'm working and then I have a movie date with my boyfriend.

Thomas Sabo

My pictures keep presenting blue skies which means that the weather here is still nice. Today, however, strong winds joined me and my dog for our walk, which is NOT something I like. I wore carrot-shaped trousers with suspenders and a knitted oversized sweater. And my new necklace, which I have been wearing a lot lately, yet today was the first day it got caught on a picture. It is from Thomas Sabo and a valentines day gift from my boyfriend. I love long necklaces with some kind of pendant so he definitely did a good job. 

There have been loads of outfit posts lately, for no apparent reason, maybe the weather has contributed, maybe I am just in an outfitpost mood all the time, maybe it's my new thing or maybe I'm preparing for my new camera that should be arriving beginning of next week. Tomorrow I think I will be sporting a hat so I will try and get my boyfriend to catch that on a photo for you!

spring and leather

Today was another lovely (might I say spring?) day. The sun was really warm and I think my computer said it was 6° C warm :-D I was wearing my leather tshirt from H&M that has been shoved away in a corner of my closet all winter and I matched it with a simple stiff silver bracelet. Didn't want to wear too many accessories, although I usually like to do that, because the leather tshirt is a statement in itself. 

I went for an almost two hour long walk with the dog and studied a little. It was a good day. Now I'm off to meet some friends for dinner - and I'm late -  so I'd better hurry!
