Versace for H&M, part 3
This is the Versace for H & M dress that I got. It was around 150 euros, which is more than I payed for my wedding dress!! (I got my wedding dress on sale for 100 euros). The dress looks a lot better on me than on the hanger. It's sort of a 20's flapper style. I have a couple of parties to go to next week, so I'll be wearing it already then. With the hot pink Versace for H & M purse of course...and maybe even with the jacket, let's see.
Versace for H&M, part 2
This is the Versace for H & M jacket that I got. It was also 100 euros. It's amazingly soft velvet and I absolutely love it. It's a cropped jacket so it leaves the midriff bare. I'll probably wear it a lot with a black T-shirt & jeans. The hangers were included and they're also covered with soft velvet; so cute.
Versace for H&M, part 1
H & M has had a lot of campaigns where they cooperate with a big name designer. I've never even been to see what they had on offer, but this time I went to see the Versace for H & M collection. It was payday yesterday and I had just received a bonus for 10 years of service at my company. So I decided to treat myself. I ended up getting a dress, a jacket and a purse. The purse looks like it might be plastic, but it's leather. It cost 100 euros, which is a lot for H & M, but a steal for Versace.
Socks
I've been knitting socks for a couple of humanitarian projects, so I've been knitting socks in all sizes.
Counting sheep
This gorgeous wrapping paper is from a gift I received from my brother and sister-in-law. Love it!

Denim shorts & jacket
Eventhough I love denim shorts, somehow I have never thought to wear them with my jean jacket....strange. But it does look great! This is Rumi Neely, my favourite fashion blogger of Fashion Toast fame.

Frida Gustavsson
Model Frida Gustavsson's clothes look like they may have been bought used - but I think they look great. Her whole look is terrific, especially the hairstyle and the accessories.

Jewelry
I love this photo. I'd like to have my own jewelry visible like this. It's not only a decorative element, but it also would help me to remember to actually wear them.

Rough & ready
I love the rough wooden surfaces of this country kitchen. Looks like a lot of recycled materials have been used.

Isabel Marant jacket
Some of Garance Doré's fave accessories. Love the jacket! I also miss having a bulletin board. It's one of the drawbacks of not living anywhere permanently. We've sort of been on the go for the past 2 years or so.

Garance Doré
A site called The Coveteur featured Garance Doré and her fave accessories. Garance is one of my fave bloggers, she is a super elegant Parisienne and a very talented illustrator and photographer - and a hilariously funny writer.

Brooke Shields
A gorgeous old photo of Brooke. I'm especially admiring her body. Yesterday, I bought a book called "Clean & Lean, Flat Tummy fast!", which is really amazing. It goes into a lot more than just fat loss, such as the reasons for bloating. And I love it's emphasis on health. So I'm hoping to have a body something like this in the near future.

Speaking of freckles, here is a gorgeous photo of Mia Farrow, looking very much like she did in the amazing movie Rosemary's Baby.

Freckles
I love freckles and wish I had some, but I don't have a single one. I did marry a red-headed (or rather red-bearded) man though, so I get to enjoy his freckles.

Audrey
I found a new blog with great photos, so I'll be posting a bunch of those. This is a commercial blog but it's got some really nice photos. It's the blog for 10 undies, which I've been reading about all over the place. Oh, and I believe that this is Audrey Hepburn in the photo. Makes me miss the summer.

Converse
Like Garance Doré, I'm obsessed with Converse right now. However, I ended up buying a cheaper pair of classic looking navy sneakers. Will post a photo later. The photo shows the Converse low-tops that Garance ended up buying....I am thinking I want the same ones.

French manicure
A new twist on the French manicure. I'm not sure I like the beige, but it's easy to use any colour you like for this.
I found this on Facebook, published by "the cool hunter".

I am really missing the beach. Hanneli took a vacation somewhere exotic (I think it was the Maledives) and I'm hoping to to the same again soon....anywhere that it's warm.

Big cable knit sweater
Love this photo and love this sweater! I have now started feeling cold....and unless I leave Finland for a holiday, I'll be cold until about....July. So I need a sweater like this.
