Candy.

Today I went for a walk in the forest with my dog (and my boyfriend), on yet another nice day. I was wearing a dress I recently bought on ebay, that makes me feel like a living candy stick.

Dress; asos (bought on ebay), top; Mango, shoes; Benetton, tights; Vero Moda.

The squirrels made it seem less lonely.

I was really excited to find an article about Jodelle Ferland in the most recent Lula magazine since it made me recall the film 'Tideland' which I watched a few months ago and fell in love with.



If you haven't watched this film, you should. It's filled with whimsical childish innocence and imagination, and the images are beautiful. In addition to that, it's quite amazing to see how well Jodelle Ferland plays her role, being only ten or so at that time.

It's as if the Lula photography is a continuation of the images in the film, also portraying such an innocent, magical and childlike world.

Saturday.

On saturday I celebrated my birthday (which was on Friday), and wore this dress. Unfortunately, I had just done the dishes when I took the photo, and being the clumsy person that I am, I managed to get my dress splashed with water. Oh well.



The dress is from H&M, and I can't remember where I got the pearls from.

Sunny autumn day.

Today my boyfriend and I went for a nice biking trip to the seaside since the day was so beautiful. We bought some delicious muffins at a shop and ate them sitting on some rocks in the sunshine. On a beautiful day like today, the sun makes the autumn colours in the grass, leaves and straws so magical. Oh, I wish all autumn days would be so sunny and nice and that we wouldn't get any rain at all.

Ribbons and smoothies.

I don't think I've ever posted a picture of my wonderful dog here (though he might have sneaked in on some), so I thought that maybe I should do it now, as I bought him a green ribbon to make him look prettier. I think he looks just adorable with it.


Recently I've also become addicted to making myself smoothies every night consisting of these ingredients;


Banana, soya milk, frozen blueberries and dried cranberries.




And, voila!



I always go through periods where I keep making, and wanting to have a specific thing over and over again, and this time around I suppose it's smoothies. Does anyone else also go through times where you crave a certain thing?

What I want for autumn and winter.

The last few weeks I've been thinking a lot about what my wishlist for autumn and winter is, which is natural, I suppose, as the weather is getting colder. I decided to make a little polyvore set to get some more ideas, and in order not to forget which things I initially wanted.

* A pretty tartan/plaid wool coat. I actually don't need another coat as the one I bought last year is still wonderful, but if I do stumble upon a tartan coat that I fall in love with, I might get it.

* A red umbrella. This one from 'Brolliesgalore' has a wonderful shape, too.

* Patent leather gloves. The leather gloves I own are suede, and every time it rains they're soaked.

* Wool tights in any colour are always welcome in my closet.

* Equestrian boots. These ones from Marc Jacobs are beautiful, but slightly too expensive for my budget.

* A pretty collar. This is actually a necklace since I couldn't find a collar on polyvore. Lovely nonethless. My only problem is that I don't really have any dresses that would look nice with a collar.

* A gray wool scarf.

* Flat and comfortable brogues. And preferrably two coloured ones.

What are your must haves for this season?

Autumn, already here.

Today was so cold, and it felt as if autumn had come nearly overnight. Perhaps it's fitting since today was the first day of September, which many of us also consider the beginning of autumn. However, I really would not mind at all holding on to summer for a little longer - the winters where I live are much too long. Nevertheless, I had the chance to wear my new trenchcoat, which I didn't buy when I was in London, but which I, luckily, got the shop where I found it to send to me. Wearing a beret was also fitting.

Fire.

Today I managed to squeeze into some shorts I bought a few months ago, and haven't been able to wear until now. Naturally I was very happy about that since I really like these shorts... they have such a great cut, and have a great fire red colour.
