Giveaway: Les Jumelles jewellery

I love vintage and vintage-inspired jewellery. It's just so pretty with all the details and the novelty it possesses. And what could be better than just that, with a French touch to it? Perfection for a francophile like myself. Say hello to Les Jumelles Boutique, which offers just that.




Les Jumelles was launched earlier this year by two sisters (twins! Which is what the word "jumelles" means - now I know another French word) from Barcelona, Spain and they're already doing very well with their designs! All of the Jewellery is a mix between new parts and recycled vintage beads, charms and pendants and it's all so incredibly cute.





The girls behind the designs have been so kind to let me have a giveaway here on my blog where one of you will have a chance at winning a jewellery of your choice, so head over to their shop, find the jewellery you like the most and post it in the comment. The winner will be chosen at the end of the week - you have until Sunday at midnight. Oh, and if you don't have a blog, leave your e-mail address.






Good luck everyone!

My new vintage suitcase and autumn photography.

Almost a week ago I found this great vintage suitcase in a second hand shop and I had to have it right away. I've been wanting a vintage suitcase (though my ultimate dream is a round hat case though), and this one is just perfect. However, while taking these pictures I realized that somehow the case has been locked on one side(it wasn't when I bought it) and now I have no idea how I am going to open it. Without running the risk of breaking it, mind you. Ideas on how to deal with this problem are more than welcome!



(please ignore the smudges in this photo. I tried to remove some glue from the suitcase in iphoto because I haven't gotten around to doing it in person yet).

Oh, and today was such a beautiful day, so I've decided to share some photos I took.






Now, before I forget. In a couple of days I am going to have a wonderful giveaway here on my blog (I'm sure you'll all love it!), so remember to come back then.

Red bowler hat

So, this is me, wearing my new hat that I showed you a few days ago. The reason I bought it was that it really reminded me of the red bowler hat from the SS 2009 minimarket collection, a collection I really love, and that it's such a cool hat, that can liven up any outfit (seeing that it actually goes with the outfit of course).



Hat from H&M divided, top and tights from Oasis, skirt from H&m and boots from Bronx.

Things that make a gloomy Saturday a little bit better.

My boyfriend flew away from me this morning I am feeling extremely sad, my house feels empty and I don't feel like doing anything (although I have so much that needs to be done...). On a day like this, I have found a few things that make my day a little bit happier:

Having a dear, little friend resting on my lap.


Coming across charming scrap pictures that I forgot I owned that make me feel like cuddling up to an Astrid Lindgren film.


Eating homemade cinnamon rolls and drinking hot cocoa.

And my new hat from H&M that I bought a few days ago.

Cold, cold and colder.

I guess you're all really sick of my complaints about the horrible weather over here, but I just can't help it. Now we've even got snow (these pictures are from a couple of days ago), and although it does look very pretty, and it's nice to cuddle up in warm sweaters, socks, hats, coats and scarves, I miss the sunshine on my body terribly... hm, I think I need to find something else to focus on otherwise I'm afraid I might fall into a winter depression or something.







Cardigan and skirt from Gina Tricot, tights and blouse from H&M, shoes from Benetton, scarf (as bowtie) from my grandmother, coat from Thomas Burberry.

Autumnal forest.

On Sunday, my boyfriend and I went for a walk in the absolutely freezing cold, yet beautiful autumnal forest. It was a very short walk because of the cold, but still rather enjoyable and we managed to take a few picture. It makes me sad that from now on it's only going to get colder and colder and that warm weather is still quite far away - if only I manage to get my thesis done and move away from here, that is.





blouse from Bik Bok, playsuit from Primark the tights are a gift and shoes from Benetton.

New finds today.

Today was such a lovely, sunny (yet absolutely freezing!) day here and my boyfriend and I went to the city centre to pick up some fabric for a dress that I am going to sew at my sewing course.



It's going to be a very cute (hopefully!) plaid dress with a peter pan collar and buttons. I really can't wait to finish it!



I also got these adorable woolen knee socks at H&M. I think they are going to look great with my future dress as well.

Later on we went for a walk in the autumn coloured woods and I'll show you the photos we took there another day. Before I forget; thanks everyone, for all the wonderful tips on how to stop procrastinating!

Lazy girl.

I wonder why it is so difficult for me to be diligent and effective when I have something important that needs to be done. I always end up prioritizing silly tv-shows, sorting through my stuff or even sleeping when I'm not even tired instead of - in my case right now, write my master's thesis which I have just begun writing. I really find it quite mysterious why I am like that - why I would prefer to waste time like that instead of getting it over with faster. If any of you have some good advice on how to beat this annoying habit, please do let me know!
On another note, here is the playsuit I bought a few weeks ago from Sea NY that I promised to show some better pictures of.



Playsuit: Sea NY, tights: Pierre Robert, and shoes Noa Noa.
