Running with scissors

Anna-Maria11 Comments
Although my Xmas was very quiet this year due to my dad passing away just a week before the yearly event, our family still managed to put it together somehow. I really don’t want to put down the holiday spirits of my dear readers by talking about the sadder subjects in life, so let’s bring this blog back to it’s original purpose; fashion. Since I haven’t been much in the mood of taking outfit pictures or dressing in anything special, I will feast your eyes with the lovely Xmas gifts my boyfriend gave me this year. These might not cure a broken heart but they are rather heart-warming indeed. Thank you so much babe!


Scissor necklace: Ann Demeulemeester
Shield ring: Kalevala Koru

I also want to thank you readers for all the lovely comments and sending your condolences. You really make my day. 🙂

P.S. I promise to come back with new outfit pictures very soon!

OTK love

Thanks to a very aware anonymous reader who had spotted these amazing boots in the Andiamo shoe store’s window, I am now a proud owner of a pair of leather OTK boots. Thank you so much for the help; my mission came to a happy end. The sales lady was kind enough to give me some shoe care products and these cool inflatable boot trees. They are every shoe lover’s dream toys.

Say hello to my new three legged friend, Mr. Gorillapod

Only a blogger could ask for such a selfish b-day present. Introducing my new friend, Mr. Gorillapod. This little three legged alien looking thing is every blogger’s dream toy and a great help for taking those totally self-centered photos of oneself. You can twist the legs as you like and attach it to anything, I even tried it on a door handle and it stayed there and was ready for a picture. Truly fantastic! I got the mid-size one but these come in different sizes/lengths. My pod weighs only 165 grams so it’s fairly light to take anywhere you go (no need for those heavyweight tripods anymore). Read more info here if interested.

I got this little fella from my parents (after requesting it of course) when I had a b-day dinner at their place on Sunday. The days are getting so gray that it’s hard to snap an outfit photo even during daytime. That’s one thing Mr. Gorillapod can’t help with, unfortunately; however, this is what I wore on Sunday.

Constructivism

Since my b-day happened to be in the middle of the week, I decided to host the actual party yesterday night. We had some food and drinks at my place and later on headed to a local indie club to dance and a see a band called Juvelen. I had heard that they are Sweden’s own Prince (the artist not the royalty) and as a huge Prince fan it was definately worth checking out. Since I was such a busy host, I had no time to take an outfit picture when there was still daylight. Therefore Ranna and I had a photoshoot at the club and to my surprise the pictures came out pretty nice! Thanks Ranna for these photos below, my photographer work and her lovely and very similar shape (we did not plan this!) outfit can be seen here.







Dress: Saints & Mortals
Net top: Martin Margiela
Oddly cut top: Fifth Avenue Shoe Repair
Bag: Bianco Accessories
Shoes: Skopunkten

I constructed the outfit of a pleather dress I bought recently as an impulse buy and added the see through oddly-cut top, a Margiela net top, laceup shoes and all the gold jewellery I could find. The inspiration for my outfit came from Givenchy’s fall/winter 08/09 colleciton, it’s my absolute favourite collection of this fall from all the designers. I just can’t say no to leather, bunch of jewellery and platform shoes.

From my perspective the latter had to stay at home and wasn’t included in my outfit because I wanted to ensure a pleasant dancing experience all night long. Also, tomorrow we are having a photoshoot for our Etsy store and there is going to be a lot of standing outside so my feet have to be in good shape. So keep your eyes open for our new fall/winter stuff, it’s coming up soon!
