So this is the new year and I don’t feel any different

My New Year’s outfit doesn’t sparkle or shine but it is, once again, inspired by Givenchy’s fall/winter collection (I honestly think I will never stop being fascinated by it). The ruffled sleeve button up is on me for the first time after I purchased it back in November, same with this tulip/diamond shaped skirt that I got from Sweden. The shape kind of reminds me of the fools outfits back in the renaissance days with its exaggerated “side wings”.

Shirt: Comme des Garcons for H&M
Skirt: Monki
Shoes: Vagabond
Belt: Second hand
Ring: Kalevala Koru


If you remember my Xmas wish list, you might recall I was lusting over the Givenchy open toe strap shoes. Well I didn’t get the real deal but I did find these amazing shoes from Vagabond while shopping for Xmas gifts with my boyfriend. They kind of have the Givenchy feel with the open toe/straps combo but with much less heel. My feet will thank me after all the dancing that I’m planning on doing today.
Happy New Year everyone and see you next year!

Running with scissors

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!

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!

Daddy’s girl

You gave me green eyes and curly hair
You were modest and always so fair
I could always come to you, no matter what
You put us first, not holding anything back
You were the best dad a girl could have
I miss you, I love you and I want you back
Please dry my tears, guide my way
I hope that we meet someday

 


 
Thank you for the best 26 years of my life, dad.
Your girl always,
Anna-Maria
