Everyday is like Sunday

This is exactly how all Sundays should be: sleeping late, sunshine, walks in the park, comfortable clothes, laying in bed and watching good movies with good food. Oh, I love Sundays!

Back to the backpack

Of what I’ve noticed, I’m not the only blogger who has lately been obsessed about the small backpacks. I used to be a huge fan of these guys in elementary school (I even made one by myself) and when the first signs of 90’s comeback came about two years ago, along with floral dresses and Doc Martens, I was so sure that soon it would be time to dig them out again. Unfortunately all the cool ones I used to wear back in the day are buried somewhere deep in my parent’s attic, so I had to wait until I found a decent second hand one. I got lucky about a week ago when this local second hand shop had its discount days and actually scored myself two small backpacks.

This little fella has been with me at two clubs already but somehow I just forgot to shoot it with my outfits. It’s really versatile since you can wear it like this on one shoulder, or unzip the strap into two separate straps to wear it on both shoulders. Let me tell you, it’s so much easier to dance and walk with a backpack and it’s no wonder all those clubbers in the 90’s favored them. Today I wore mine just to run errands and paired it up with a skirt I purchased in Sweden but haven’t worn until now due to better weather conditions. Today it finally felt like spring is here!

I live among the creatures of the night

You know those times when your closet just has nothing you would want to wear and everything just seems dull and outdated? It’s too early to wear those spring clothes that are waiting in your closet for the warmer days and you have lost your inspiration. I actually had a great conversation about this issue yesterday with the ever so stylish Sugar Kane, who told me she is struggling with the same problem. Call it spring depression or whatever, it’s a feeling that seems to hit us every year around this time.
In times like this I’m actually very lucky that my boyfriend and I share a very similar fashion taste, being able to raid his closet is truly a bless. Wearing my boyfriend’s harem pants and oddly cut sweater, I felt like a completely new person, discovering the world of androgyny again. It was also just the inspiration kick that I needed to start a spring cleaning in my closet, so keep your eyes open as I will probably will end up selling a lot of my stuff online.

The same pants transferred into the night’s outfit, when I later on met up with an old friend of mine and headed to the gothic club Schatten. I’m not so much into the “plastic goth” scene myself, so my look was more like 80’s/90’s goth (think Siouxie Sioux or Nina Hagen) with a fashionable update. It felt so good dancing to the good old goth/post punk tunes and when the fog filled up the dance floor, everything was just the way it was supposed to be.

City light painted girl,
In the day nothing matters,
It’s the night time that flatters”

Wristful of cuffs

It seems that I’m not the only one who has been obsessing about getting a pile of rough wrist candy after seeing images of the ever-so-stylish Elle Style Editor Kate Lanphear rocking tons of iron around her wrists. Her simple, androgyne aestethics with a touch of roughness and attitude really make my heart skip a beat, and I could easily name her as one of the most influential style icons of today. I guess the similtude of our styles is what makes me attracted to her, as I find the same aesthethics being the corner stones of my personal style.

With Kate’s chunky jewellery in my mind, I went to a store called Leather Heaven which I knew would carry all things made of leather and metal, and came back with a pyramid stud cuff and spiked “rat” cuff in my shopping bag (ps. now I’m planning on ordering this baby). Last night they served as my faithful wrists of fury when I needed some space on the dance floor of the fully packed club. Weapons of destruction or a fashion statement? You decide.
