Sense and Sensibility

Finally done with my exams! It actually feels a bit weird to get back to blogging, though I haven't taken much more than a week off. We're still "enjoying" some seriously cold weather here in Norway, and I've become a layering champion. Trying to look good is not as important as staying warm, but I've found that maxi dresses and skirts are great both for layering purposes and for hiding ugly leg warmers and bulky stockings.

I really enjoy the colours in the two looks above. I've been wearing a lot of beige and grey lately, and now I'll have to find something red to add to the mix. Both pictures are from Café Mode.

Finally, I'd like to say thank you to everybody who's been leaving comments lately. I've been reading them all, and I really appreciate your kind words! I'll be spending some time the next few days catching up with all of you.

No Curtain Call

Back stage, on stage and off duty; a small collection of images I've found fascinating enough to ctrl+save lately.

The Long Story

My Daily Style

I'm a rather short girl, and I think I've complained about that a few times. Ok, perhaps I'm of a rather average height, but when I surround myself with images from the fashion world I feel tiny. Lately, though, I've been wearing high heels pretty much all the time, and I think this has made me consider myself a bit taller than I really am. One result of this is that I want to wear clothes that often look better on tall people, like maxi skirts/dresses.

I've been rightclick+save-ing anything ankle-length I've come across lately, and the other day I found a blog that really fuelled this maxi obsession. The blog, My Daily Style, is mostly written in Spanish, but you don't need to know the language to appreciate the style. I've also been browsing online stores and streetstyle blogs, and this post is an outlet for some of the images I've gathered. Now I just have to find the perfect dress/skirt to purchase...

Today was a lovely, lazy Sunday. I've done nothing of importance, just spent the whole day doing little things I enjoy. Read a wonderful book while sitting in the sun. Ate frozen blueberries with yoghurt. Tried on a few of last years summer dresses I found in the back of the closet.

As you might gather from these pictures, I'm still loving all things pale and pretty. And I really, really want to buy a cape, though I won't be able to use it much until fall.
