A few hours in the sun.

The last few days have been so pleasantly warm and nice here, which has been absolutely lovely. Even if it hasn't been sunny all the time, the air's been very warm. It's hardly ever like this - in fact, I cannot remember the last time it was nice and warm and not chilly because of the wind. I hope this continues for a few more days at least.
I enjoyed a morning sitting outside reading a book and drinking strawberry smoothie.


Smoothie mustache.

Sunrise and sunset.

My sleeping/getting up routine gets very easily messed up in the summer because of the constant light. Yes, I live that far north - so far north that for two months straight in the summer the night is as bright as the day. It is very lovely, but it also unfortunately leads me to turn the day around (not completely, but much more than what I should) on the days when I'm not working. Consequently, these pictures were taken sometime during the night - and I couldn't really say if the sun is rising or setting, but I suppose that does not really matter.

Dress from H&M, tights from Topshop, shoes by Chie Mihara and flower crown from a flower shop in Israel.

Today's outfit.

First of all, sorry for my absence... I've just been feeling very uninspired and not in the mood to blog - but I think my inspiration might be back now.

What I wore today:

Top; Noa Noa, skirt; H&M, tights, American Apparel, shoes; Topshop, bag; Marc by Marc Jacobs.

Picnic

Today my little sister and I went on a little picnic together in a pretty meadow full of buttercups.




Tassus ended up as a yellow dog after smelling too many buttercups!



We ate waffles.

I've had such a lazy day today - I haven't done much else than lying on the sofa watching films, believe it or not. Though I had been working for six days straight (and will be working tomorrow again as well), so I suppose it wasn't too bad. Have any of you done anything more interesting this weekend?




Pink vintage beret and lipstick in "pink creme" from the make up store.

My new Dahlia playsuit

Today I wore my new Dahlia playsuit and Topshop shoes I bought in England. It was a perfect outfit for today, which started off nice, warm and very sunny, but became cloudy in the afternoon.




The playsuit looks like a dress as it has a little skirt in the front, and shorts underneath and in the back.



My pretty new shoes.

London buys.

I'm back home now, which is quite dull and boring. I prefer being elsewhere - although being in my own home is always nice - it's just the surroundings that are quite sad.
I spent Friday in London, shopping, which was lovely. London is always lovely - I always love the atmosphere there. I was quite in a rush while I was there - running from place to place to be able to go to all the shops I wanted to go to in the little time I had, so I didn't really take any pictures while I was there, so therefore you'll just get to see the photos I've taken of my buys after coming back here.


Chie Mihara shoes, Marc by Marc Jacobs t-shirt, necklace and umbrella, American Apparel shorts, and something from Agent Provocateur.

Arent't they beautiful? I wasn't planning on buying them, but I somehow ended up in Selfridge's where there was a huge sale, and when I spotted these lovely ones, I could not resist.

Marc by Marc Jacobs necklace.

Marc by Marc Jacobs t-shirt.

Shorts from American Apparel. I originally thought these were too short, but when I tried them on they weren't and they looked quite cute.

And tea from The Tea House, as well as Macaroons from Ladurée. One of them is a birthday gift for my mum though.

Blackpool.

Yesterday C. Elizabeth went to Blackpool for a day. We had planned on going to the amusement park there, but we found out in the last minute that it was closed - we thought we'd go today instead then, but it ended up pouring cats and dogs, so no. However we had a nice day strolling along the beach, talking, eating at a café and we were in fact able to take one carousel at one of the piers.
