From the monthly archives: "February 2011"

So, I did another guest post for Inspirety Fashion’s blog. This time I tried to explore the “Retro Girly” trend seen in many different brands lately. Some of my favorite brands featuring “retro girly” right now:

(I accidently switched place for the picutres for “fabulous” and “cecil mcbee”)

- Liz Lisa
Their spring collection is called “French Bohemian”. It’s a vintage bohemian style with lace, floral print dresses and overalls, flowy tops, high boots and wide-brim and boater hats. Very sweet and romantic.
- CECIL McBEE
Their “Fabulous Spring Collection 2011” is aiming for a more glamourous retro style. It’s still feminine and sweet, but a bit more elegant and sophisticated, and it feels more grown up.
- Dazzlin
Their spring theme is “Playful” with a vision of “The American Gal” in mind. Their collection is very colorful, and their main focus seems to be patterns with lots of polka and gingham print. Also lots of frills, bows, puffy sleeves and puffy skirts. A very sweet and flirty retro style.
- Ank Rouge
Their fashion is mostly for teenagers, but I still like many of their items. They have a very sweet and romantic style, quite similar to Liz Lisa. Lots of sheer fabrics with floral, polka prints, peter pan collars, tie blouse styling, light colored denim, high-waist shorts and puffy pumpkin shorts.
- Titty&Co
Their spring concept is “Airy Garden” with a theme of floral, relaxing and natural. Floral, polka, gingham prints, lace collars, mini dresses, ruffles, bows, pumpkin shorts, wide legged pants. Everything is very retro girly.

Okay, so. As I mentioned earlier I bought a pair of light washed denim jeans from Gina Tricot on SALE for only 99 SEK! they are kind of high waist which I’ve become very much in love with. I like the whole retro girly inspired trend that has become quite popular lately. Today I decided to explore more of the denim side of this style.

 

I tried out some different combinations with these jeans:

Jeans from Gina Tricot, boots from Din Sko.
1. knit sweater from Kappahl
2. blouse from Kappahl, jeans shirt from Shibuya 109
3. shirt from Lindex, jeans shirt from mum’s closet

Hey! Something I’ve become really obsessed with lately: glasses. I only use fake-ones. though I’m beginning to think I kinda need real ones.. I’ve gotten very poor vision in one of my eyes, which I haven’t had before.. hopefully it won’t get any worse ’cause I really can’t afford glasses/contacts right now..

Anyway! pictures and outfits~~

Hello! Have been working out today. I need to exercise more >__> I try to do some kind of work out every day (usually pilates or jogging) but this week I’ve been sooo lazy. But today I went for a run on the treadmil at the gym. this was the last time I could go for free though, so I probably won’t be returning there again ;_;  It’s too bad, because I love jogging. I try to run for about 3-4 km every time. And it’s waaaay to cold (like -10°C) for me to be jogging outside..

But anyway. Now I’m having a late afternoon snack. Very important when you’re working out ^^

A cup of tea and some cottage cheese with mango. (it’s a winning combo! so delicious!)

Hello!
I just wanted to let you know that I’ve strarted guest blogging for a site called Inspirety Fashion

Here is my first post

Looking forward to some trend-spotting. Stay tuned!

Happy Valentine’s Day!

I’m bad at gifts (and also broke) so I baked some cupcakes for the occasion. I made some for my mum and some for my boyfriend.


A card I made for my boyfriend. it says:

Love Recipe

  • 125 gram happiness
  • 3 dl love
  • 1,5 dl passion
  • 4 tbsp romance
  • 1,5 teaspoon butterflies in my stomach
  • & a piece of my heart ♥

Another breakfast post.

Just finished watching Burlesque, and oh I loved it! The hair, the make-up, the clothes! Reminded me a lot of Moulin Rouge. But I guess that’s kind of obvious. I’ve never been such a big fan of either Cher or Christina but I really liked them in this movie.

I really liked all the different styles Christina Aguilera had in this movie.
I especially fell for this hairstyle:

I’m so inspired. I want to go put on make-up right away.
but it’s 00.59 so I guess I’ll go to sleep… good night!

People have been asking how I edit my photos. So I decided to make a quick tutorial. Here it goes:

Then I used some actions, colors and gradient fills to create different effects:

I’ll try to make a tutorial for that as well. But that will have to wail ’til next time!
