Be back in 7 days.

"Papa tells me this is your first visit to Paris."

"Well, not if you include movies..."

heavenly creatures.

"Cheer up! All the best people have bad chests and bone diseases! It's all frightfully romantic!"

a spring to dream.

In a perfect idyllic world, it would be possible to wear organza day and night, it would be warm enough so we could go barefoot, and if not, we could choose to wear sandals as lovely as our dresses.

stories.

Some of you must be familiar with the work of the young swedish photographer Arvida, but I'm not sure if you've already seen the videos she's been making and displaying on the blog entitled Stories, which is runned "by Arvida Byström and you", in the artist's own words. I have followed these stories from the beggining, and every single episode makes me look forward to the next one.

girls who bike with style

Photos from different parts of the world, in different temperatures but with one thing in common. When I see pictures like that, I almost feel like having a bike myself, but I suppose I'd rather be style practical, especially regarding my footwear. Unlike so many girls in CPH that bike up and down in heels! Oh well. ^.^

I'd love to have a neutral coloured hooded coat/jacket this fall, preferentially in black.

Wonderful Clara

Clara has one of the most inspiring and original blogs I know, and going through its pages it's like travelling to another time. I love her retro feminine style, her beautiful house and food pictures. Ah, if only I could bake cakes!

electric blue

I just stumbled across this blog, and fell immediatly in love with this look. I want everything: the cape, the round sunglasses and above all, those fierce heels!
