Hot in the city

I’ve been practically forced to abandon the blog, due to the fact that this week has been extremely busy with running erands. During the weekend we were blessed with hot temperature, so sitting in the park and meeting up with friends seemed much more interesting than staring at the computer screen in a hot apartment. This outfit is from last night and from today (just changed the shirt). I’ve finally digged out some of my other summer shoes; as much I love the Bronx sandals, you can’t wear them all of the time. These grey jazz shoes are extremely comfy and perfect for dressing down my otherwise dressy outfit. Hope you all had a good and warm weekend!

I haven’t been able to tolerate pink since kindergarten but there is something intriguing about the powder pink shades this spring. Hence, it’s no wonder I’ve been eyeing on this light pink top with petal shoulders since it hit the Selected store in early spring. I was actually waiting for it to go on discount, and as I noticed it hanging on the sale racks due to being the last piece of the collection, I just had to grab it.
Funny enough, I had ordered a very similar themed skirt from Nelly.com (with the gift card we got from the blog party) and of course had to see how these two would go together. While partying in this outfit on Saturday, I felt a bit like a fairy with all the petal action going on. Naturally, I couldn’t go out without adding a splash of masculinity into the look, so the studded cuff and short hairdo were almost de rigueur.

My official photographer, a.k.a. boyfriend, has caught the spring flu from me, meaning photographing is now my and the Gorillapod’s responsibility for the next couple of days. Therefore the strange photos; although it was fun playing with the camera and the sunlight. Frankly, I haven’t worn anything really exciting since Saturday, just some clothes I’ve been able to grasp from my closet during the five minutes I have time each morning to get dressed for work. The red lace-ups have played a major role in my outfits lately and let me tell you, they are really growing on me by every footstep. I’ve also worn the same hairdo since Saturday but tonight these crazy curls will be washed away because I started to feel like some weird hybrid between Jayne Eyre and the characters from Edgar Allan Poe’s work. Then again, that sounds like a pretty cool combination, eh?

It was a Saturday night, I guess it makes it all right

I’m coughing like a madman and my voice is rather raspy but I’ve convinced myself that it just adds a sexy note to my presence. Nothing’s gonna stop me from having a good night tonight, dancing the night away and seeing some good friends. Whom, by the way, should arrive any minute now.
The outfit for the night is somewhat inspired by 80’s (theme for the club tonight)  as well, as I’m wearing a power suit-ish dress that I got in a dress swap from Ranna (she got my Rodebjer dress), vintage lace gloves and a my favorite hat.
