Den här skjortan och jag har ett hat/kärlek förhållande - å ena sidan är den så stor och skön att jag vill bära den varenda dag, å andra sidan är risken stor att jag faktiskt skulle göra det, om min självkontroll var det allra minsta mindre ...

Jag sitter med en enorm tallrik gröt och lyssnar på Phantom of the Opera medan jag skriver det här. Mitt första minne av den är när jag spelade i en musikal som 10-åring i en slottsträdgård, de äldre barnen brukade skoja och uppträda med Angel of Music och All I Ask of You i de kalla stenutrymmena i slottsmuren där vi höll till mellan akterna, jag satt oftast på en bänk och dinglade med fötterna och tittade på. Det var alltid någon som var tvungen att slå på mikrofonen och rusa därifrån mitt i... 
Den dag jag hittar någon som är beredd att sjunga hela musikalen med mig(och står ut med min sångröst), då gifter jag mig med honom!
 
Tillsvidare är den här toppen en väldigt värdig ersättare till min Fantomen-på-Operan-sjungande framtida man kommer, det är perfektion i tröjform. Mjuk stickning, ingen urringning och den vackraste lystern i tyget. Jag kommer nog aldrig känna mig tillräckligt bekväm för att matcha den med något annat än allting högmidjat, så tillsvidare hänger den med diverse kjolar!

Åh hörrni, mina dagar flyger förbi! Större delen av dem spenderar jag i mjukisshorts med en bok i näven, sporttights på yogamattan eller bikini nere vid poolen. Det är inte mycket andra kläder som lyckas smyga sig in i min vardag!
Trots det har jag lyckats go bananas på rean(som vanligt), och visst vill ni väl ha en sammanfattning? OKEJ DÅ, min ansökan till Shopaholics Anonymous: 2 par jeans, 5 toppar/tröjor, 1 klänning, 1 par skor, 1 kjol, 1 bikini, halsband, underkläder, 1 par byxor, sportplagg, keps(jag är lika förvånad som någon annan!!), och nya löparskor. Pinsammaste är att jag nog glömt något, ugh ... Har ni hittat något på rean? Jag älskar rea, men tanken på att sommaren snart är över bummes me out!

Hej på er!
Idag har jag suttit i en Mustang ute på vischan, nervevade fönster och fötterna på fönsterkarmen, och läst. Jag har druckit saft ur plastmuggar och solen har gassat. Det är ett vackert, enkelt liv.

... Och min längtan efter en egen pickup växer!
 
---

Hello, you!
Today I've been sitting in a Mustang out in the boonies, windows rolled down and feet resting on the windowsill, and read. I've drunk lemonade from plastic cups and the sun has been unmercifully hot. It's a beautiful, simple life.
... And my longing for my very own pickup truck is growing!

ART DÉCO



Dress Rodebjer, Heels H&M
 
 
 
This dress from Rodebjer might just be the perfect combination of uncomfortable vs super-comfortable aka evil vs good. I keep telling myself that the modest length, soft fabric and convenient pockets make up for the (to say the least) deep neckline, but I went with a messy bun and classic shoes - y'know, just in case!
 
P.S - This is such an awesome dress to wear the other way around, too, amazing and slightly Breakfast at Tiffany's-ey.
 
 

IM A TURTLE

FILIPPA K TURTLENECK
 
Jag vet jag vet... Det är juni, inte riktigt The Return of the Polotröja - MEN, den här bejben från Filippa K förtjänar ändå lite premature uppmärksamhet. Jag älskar den kortare stela kragen, en modern tvist på en riktig klassiker och så fin när den sticker upp ur vinterkappor, jackor och kostymer. Vackra, vackra tröja! Vi ses igen om några månader...

I know, I know... It's june, not quite The Return of the Poloshirt - BUT, this babe from Filippa K deserves some premature lovin'. I love the short stiffer neck, a modern twist on such an indubitable classic. It will look soo good peeking up from wintercoats, jackets and costumes. Gorgeous, gorgeous sweater! I'll see you in a couple of months...
 

THE NAKED SWEATER

Yoga-byxor, fula-sköna-sandaler(Erik hatar dom, jag älskar dom, dom stannar) och en tröja precis på gränsen till vulgär över en tunn, delvis i nät, bh. Jag älskar att gå omkring och sopa gatorna med alldeles för långa och alldeles för vida(om det ens går?!) byxor.
Ikväll: BBQ, dansa, njuta.
 
--

Yoga-pants, ugly-comfy-sandals(Erik hate, I love, they stay) and a sweater right on the verge of vulgar over a thin, partially mesh, bra. I just love walking around sweeping the streets with way too long and way too flared(is there even such a thing?!) pants.
Tonight: BBQ, dance, enjoy life.

... Har ni gett upp om mig än? Haha! Ingenting är bättre än att förvirra mina älskade läsare! Tja, det skulle nog varit roligare om inte jag själv var så förvirrad med ... Hmm, är det bara jag eller börjar det här bli misstänkt likt en slags läskig kärlekshistoria? Kanske. Kanske är det också det. 
 
I alla fall, jag tror jag har kommit överrens med mig själv om att ge bloggandet en ny start! På mina villkor, när jag vill, hur jag vill, urkassa iPhone-bilder och genomtänkta fotoserier i en enda härlig(eller mindre härlig) frenzy.
Jag ska inte babbla om det. Ni fattar. Ni är bra på det sättet. Jag bloggar när jag vill, och jag avsäger mig här med pressen.

... Given up on me yet? Haha! Nothing better than confusing my lovely readers! Well, would've been more fun if I weren't so confused myself ... Is it just me or is this me-MAYBE-starting-to-blog-again thing beginning to seem eerily much like some weird lovestory? Perhaps. Perhaps it is.
 
Oh well, I actually made a deal with myself about giving blogging a try again! On my conditions, when I want it, how I want it, awful iPhone-photos and thought-through pictureseries mixed up in one great(or maybe less great) frenzy.
I won't babble. You get it. You're pretty great in that way. I'll blog when I want to, and I hereby decline the pressure.

DRINKING COFFEE

HELLO my darlings!
 
Long time no see, I know, believe me, I know... What to say? It's not you it's me? Well, yeah, duh, obviously. Lately I've been feeling a spark of blogspiration though(not sure if refering to inspiration or perspiration there, maybe both) but I can't promise you this post is anymore than a one-night-stand. Let's just enjoy each other's company and see how things go, 'kay?
 
After this very awkward start of a post, WHAT in the WORLD have I been up to you might be asking. Now that's a good question! I've been doing absolutely everything a 18-year-old girl is supposed to do: those of you who follow me on instagram(which I have yet to leave in such a deceitful way as I left blogging) know all about my breakfasts, lunches, dinners and, well, practicly it's just food with a rare selfie here and there. Did y'all know I never really liked being the one INFRONT OF the camera? I'm just too AWKWARD. That's something years of blogging couldn't erase!
 
But I'm rambling(aren't I always?) - I have actually been longing to blog for a while now, and that's a feeling I haven't felt in so, so very long. I miss the undemanding work I used to put in to this fashiondiary, doing it for me and no one else. That really was a long time ago, which is very sad.
And you wanna know something else?
 
... I haven't done any real shopping since FEBRUARY. My first order since then was placed at Asos yesterday, and then I chose yogapants, espadrilles and a t-shirt over super-flared(that is a word) silver velour pants with tribal pattern and a megafluffy hat. Is this what growing up means .. ? So weird.
 
Anyway, I'll wrap this up with showing you an old outfit I shot in Tenerife a couple of months back. 
Maybe we'll hear from each other soon, maybe not. Time shall tell!

These. Boots. Are. Amazing. 'Nuff said.
... OK no this also needs to be put out there: These boots, this shirt, this skirt, this hat and this I-forgot-my-sunglasses-face in this lovely little sandy park on the edge of Santa Cruz right by the sea, I think it was one of those moments when everything is just perfect. The smell of hot churros, armies of pigeons, palmleaves in the wind, old gurgling marble fountains... Those moments, lovers. Those moments.

Santa Cruz is a beautiful city and also might be the undefeated champion of How-Weird-Can-You-Park-a-Car, a world wide competition I maybe just made up. It is just the right whimsical mix of old and new, placed between the dusty mountains and right by the sea. 
Talking about beautiful things, you might've noticed the gorgeous wrap skirt-actual-shorts in the pictures, yes? They're THE perfect substitues if you like me like the option of wearing a short skirt without having to worry about it riding up, like in that chapter of Simpsons where Homer wears a speedo. Sorry for the mental image. I still played it safe though, with my new jacket from Pull & Bear, again, go.r.ge.ous. It's got a sort of MC-vibe, but is in linen and just enough oversize, I wear it with everything, so versatile.

Please do also take notes on how amazing this look with a slouchy stonewashed t-shirt. Class dismissed.

I've been obsessed with this nude bikini ever since stumbling upon it while visiting Crete last summer. It's truly amazing, and takes the whole debate of underwear vs. swimwear vs. being naked one step further. This time I paired it with a satin pajama shirt from H&M and now we can all be confused and have our minds spinning with thoughts about whether I'm actually in the bedroom or on the beach!!

You often hear people talking about the LBD, also known as the Little Black Dress, but let's take a minute to talk about something I discovered to be equally essential for wardrobe-happiness: The LBLD - Little Brown Leather Dress! This one that I got at a Benetton-store is beautiful in so many ways, the sturdy structure, the fit, the drop waist seams... Would look wonderful with some strappy, high sandals and a messy updo, but also pairs so lovely with worn boots and a hat. Ahhh, the possibilities!

 On the beachwalk between Playa de las Americas and Los Christianos.
Slightly windy weather called for a jacket and sneakers, I didn't mind though, as long as I can get by with bare legs I'll still love you, Tenerife! Something about this combo put me in such a great mood; it was comfortable, warm-but-not-TOO-warm, perfect to walk around in and the skirt didn't fly up Marily Monroe-style NEARLY as many times as you might think. The sun was shining, tanned Australian guys playing beach volleyball, the smell of hot and greasy streetfood, and of course the fact that you had to look over your shoulder each and every second in a slightly neurotic manner not to get run over by crazy pensioners in automatic wheelchair-cars. Great.

Y'all KNOW a girl needs that special staircase in her life for the sole purpose of giving those plain outfits a little extra -oumph. I found mine in Spain. Summer romance, much ..? 
I'm really having a hard time deciding whether or not this post should be about those yellow/white triangles, or how awesome my new favorite sandals look with the highwaisted, tailored suitpants I'm wearing. They're both their own kind of beautiful ..
