Autumnal rust

Hi sweethearts!

Today I decided to take inspiration from the falling leaves and go autumnal in rust.

The dress is a size 44, which is one to little for me, it was tiiiight! LOL

so I undid the seams in the front and the back, and let the hem down, and now it fits. ;D

It is quite a difficult colour to wear, but I love it, and used black and white to balance it off.

You like?

The outfit:

Dress, H&M (reworked)

Scarf, Zara

Neckless, key chain, Lindex

Gloves and bangle, H&M

Earrings, Accessorize

Hi Sweethearts!

It is so good to see you again!

Thank you for your well wishings while I`ve been sick.

I am still under the weather, but finally able to get out of bed and dressed! YAYY! lol

Today I dragged my self to work in my latest design:

The outfit:

Dress, my design

(top from a dress by Gina Tricot, white skirt from a dress I originally made from two dresses -that was the only way I could get the dress to fit me, but I loved the fabric so! haha-, and

waistbelt that I made from black fabric and studs from a neckless)

Booties, Nilson

Earrings, Lindex

Various bangles

Scarf, left over material from a dress by H&M

Leopard Music Party!

Today I enjoyed the annual Music Party that takes place in Oslo this time every year!

My outfit for the day was a blue leopard dress, leopard scarf, fringed bag,

bangles and feathered head dress.

Chilling on a sidewalk in between concerts with my lovely sister Martine

One cool fashionista!

Here are some snaps from the different concerts that were located all over town:

Great pop with a soulful touch

Great rock! Punk on! :D

Skaters showing off!

All in all a great day in lovely Oslo with my fab sis <3

So, on to the outfit:

I love this blue printed dress from Lene V. I changed the neckline from a turtle neck to

a sweetheart neckline that suits me better I think.

These bootie-sandals are super comfy and have been a fave of mine

ever since I bought them in Split, Croatia last summer.

These are some of my fave bangles that I like to mix and match :D

Feathered head dress from H&M

Wishing you all a lovely weeked with weather that requires shades :)

Bold prints meet taupe

Today I went all out mixing prints!

I grounded the outfit by picking up on the taupe in the dress and bringing it through to the ruffled vest and leopard scarf. I love wearing this flowy dress that I made with fabric from a dress that just wouldn`t suit me. So, I cut it up and sewed the fabric back together, creating this A-line shaped dress with an empire waist and an asymmetrical skirt. The ruffled vest is from Vero Moda, and the scarf is H&M.

Check out the prints, what do you think?
