Dress, studies and christmas.

Tonight I'm creating my christmas dress, a sort of long top in purple wool and viscose, as I always have nothing to wear.  Then it's some editorial work between all the studies and a new years simple dress. That's the only time I have free. I'm all wrapped up analyzing fashion and masculinity in the wonderful Donnie Darko, very interesting that I can tell you.

Haircut and night studies.

I got my annual haircut a few days ago, I have a tendency of always getting it right before christmas.
It's a bit of a "new" yet same style and a side bang (that's new)! Haha, I like it!

Now I'm gonna dig myself down in my literature and study, I love it, have a nice night!

Holidays are coming!

This commercial gives me a warm feeling of the upcoming holiday season, which I love.

Swept away.

This story from American Vogue November issue, styled by Grace Coddington and photographed by Patrick Dermachelier, is beautiful. I find it romantic yet a sense of sadness upon it, a longing for something, a sort of reality escapism. But that's only my point of veiw.

Your city lies in dust.

"We found you hiding, we found you lying

Choking on the dirt and sand

Your former glories and all the stories

Dragged and washed with eager hands

But ohh oh your city lies in dust, my friend"

Siouxsie, will always be an inspiration, an icon and a truly unique artist.

Sadness and happiness, equals?

Sometimes I wish that I had something interesting to write about, I envy people (not always), as I see it, they have these extraordinary lives, that I don't get slightly close to. I want to feel that "happiness", although I'm also very pleased that I don't all the time. As it comes to me it's important to have both sides, if you don't know  sadness. How do you know feelings of happiness? For heavens sake, does anyone in this era live happily ever after? If they do, please tell me about it. I would like to hear your point of view, telling me I'm dreadfully wrong in not always endeavoring for that feeling of utter hapiness - all the time.

Maybe sadness is a blessing, yet a curse, as well as happiness is likewise, Taking myself as an example, can experience happiness as a dreadful emotion as it can be the most wonderful in it's fullest. Happiness and sadness can't live without each other. Is there even a hint of beauty by being able to have it all?

Fashion & Movies.

This picture, taken by Nelson Evans of Mary Pickford, looking at stars, is adorable.
As I now begin to study fashion from a cinematic approach, makes this even more important to see how old moviestars dressed and how it reflects us, and how cinema and tv still plays a major part in dressing. What makes a movie star a fashion icon? I'm about to find out...

Have a wonderful halloween full of horror!

I'll give you a big favorite since years back, hope you'll have a nice evening and go out trick or treating!

There is always something.

Isn't it very funny that when everything is flowing - there is always something to mess it up completely and utterly as it would do it on purpose ! Oh, how I love it!

/A

Art & illusions.

Natalie Shau again, darlings! I more than love her artwork, there's something about the slightly macabre yet stunning feeling she creates, that for me is adorned and beautiful. An illusion that we're somewhere in a fairytale, or maybe a dream.

Autumn bipolarity.

 When autumn arrives, there is a certain swift in the air, not only is it cooler. It has come to be a sort of change for me. Like the knowledge that the sun is slowly going to shine less and it will get darker. I take comfort in that. I don't like flickering lights, it is truly beautiful but my head can't stand it. Others can, I admire them. I love all the colours. So by wearing sunglasses, hiding behind a big scarf and pretend that I don't have a head that is slowly going to rip me apart is a way out. I'm good at pretending and it has become an advantage. It's how I manage it, I have to go on pretending. A little bit dramatic, but it seems to work.

This is fantastic, it has both a soothing and pulsating rhythm.

Dresses with light.

We all need som light when it now becomes darker. Although I love in the darkness, I appreciate and adore well done photography by the exceptional, TIM WALKER.

Adorned in red.

Pictures borrowed from:  Asos & Net á Porter.

I've always loved the colour red, nothing speaks to my eye as much as it does. Black, is a so called "standard" element in my wardrobe, therefore as a contrast colour - red - have always been in the forefront. All different shades, from dark burgundy to brighter ones. This fall my eye falls on the burgundy, rusty and also matte style of fabric.

When it's over and my heart breaks.

There's something to this beat - that not only struck me by lightning -
as she sings 'leave the past behind', that I am leaving it for real.

Autumn has arrived.

It's almost autumn, the air is chilly and it's getting more dark for everyday that passes.
Tomorrow I'll be back in school again, I'm nervous but happy.

This is the book I never read, These are the words I never said, This is the path I'll never tread, These are the dreams I'll dream instead...

"I may be mad, I may be blind
I may be viciously unkind
But I can still read what you're thinking"

Annie Lennox - genius, inspirational and magical.
One of a kind woman and voice, a woman I look up to.

Fashion is truly my passion!

I'll be going back to school to study fashion (link), fall to come. It's thrillingly exciting and I'm pretty nervous, but that is always a good thing. Fashion is and will always be a true passion.

Not here.

That's exactly my thought and I surely don't want it at this specific time.

Machine Gun.

Calming, interesting and nice music, enjoy.

Bondage and haute couture!

I'm still amazed by this photoseries, there is something so striking about these women in the photos, bondage and haute couture, a combination that seems to be both vulnerable and strong.  I find this work by Sam Taylor-Wood intruiging to look at, so take a glance yourself here.  

/A

It all ends here!

I absolutely love Harry Potter, saw the last movie of the whole bunch. I cried and realised that there will be no one after this now. It was amazing, as for looking at i from a view where I don't go and critizing how different things might or could have been. All I need to say is that I love Harry Potter. No questions asked.

Bad weather changes during summer.

The weather makes me neither happy or sad, a little bit confused and tired, that's why I'm never here anymore (let's say that). Where did the lovely summer go? The warmth, love and happy faces all around is going to slip away, but that a typical swedish thing. So maybe moan and bitch for a second and then come around happier than before?

Helena Blomqvist!

Amazing and fantastic photographer Helena Blomqvist! Have a look!

Bad day, but good memories.

A pretty bad day, nothing else. But despite that I'm making a skirt, a lovely blue one. I hope that the midsummer will be wonderful and loving and sunny! This was from last saturday when we were out partying, fun fun fun! Lovely friends and dancing can never go wrong.

Summerfeelings.

It's summer, I feel like putting on my wonderful white dress, run barefoot and through the mist in the morning. I like when fairytales become more alive and how much people tell me there are no fairies, I do still believe there are and I do wanna be in love, nothing more nothing less.

I'm in need of a night out - in my highest heels - on the town, dancing 'til my feet drop.
Like nothing else would matter!

No rest for the wicked!

 Yesterday was so wonderful, I can't even try to describe how incredible it was, cupcakes and vivid colours! Creativity is like silk for my soul. I'll borrow three behind the scene pictures from Elva (the wonderful makeupartist)!

Can't wait to see the final of this one!

Dreamy bohemian home.

I want a bathroom, a bedroom and a livingroom, close to looking like these ones!

I love bohemian and oriental design, something that looks warm, have lots and lots of colours and is brought together from all the corners of the world. How can you not love it?

/A

Just me.

Me a few days ago, I loove that the weather is getting better all the time, it's settling into a mood that is a little bit calmer. I realised that I have absolutely nothing fun to say... 

See you later!

New design.

New design, I got bored. Grey will always work, so until I may change it all up again, enjoy!
The spring is really alive around here, but I'm only looking towards the beautiful summer. So, the one I'm dating right now is my sewingmachine, lovely litte thing! Dresses, skirts and tops are made! I love being creative and full with ideas.

Aches from some sort of hell.

Does this shit end anytime soon? Let me now, cause I'm pretty damn tired having to deal with a body that still doesn't want to do what I want.

/A

Unpredictable.

The spring is at times the worst season of them all, but now that it's been a grey sky for approximately 3 days, I do - today - start to feel somewhat calmer.I really like the spring and I love sunshine, but only when it lasts for more than one day. But summer will arrive and I truly hope for an even better one than last year. So longing for summer, sunkissed skin and love. Who knows what will happen? My life seems to be very unpredictable.

Neverland.

I've never needed to visit neverland as much as I do now.

Better at writing?

I'll promise to get somewhat better writing here.. I've had other things on my mind, but if I can manage them, I can manage everything else. But now I'm gonna sit down with a big cup of ginger/grape red tea and relax.

/A

Lovely little brother.

I miss you.

Street chic!

This is some sort of style I'll be working on this spring, cause it's finally kind of arrived! 

Big glasses, layers, street chic is key, loove it!

Life is life.

It seems I've become the worst blogger since I started, don't know why really. The weather is too cold and I'm only freezing my bodyparts off (yes, I usually love the winter), but now I need warmth and love. As a matter of fact I might need to find someone and fall in love, that perhaps would make me less cynical about the matter in question?

/A

In with the new!

Things for spring that I want or may already have... It's a bit of everything, but my mind is like that, so I'm just rolling with the flow! For the moment I'm cleaning out my wardrobe - again!

Love

A picture to make you all know that I do really live and haven't died yet. I'll be back later.
