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.





I'm wearing a sweater from Benetton, shirt (underneath) from Bikbok, Jacket from Vero Moda, skirt from H&M, tights from Vero Moda, and shoes from Bianco.

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.

tights from NoaNoa, pumps from a shoeshop in Germany.

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.






Vintage high waisted shorts from ebay, leotard from American Apparel, and shoes from Dinsko.

Agent Provocateur.

For years I had wanted to purchase some underwear from Agent Provocatur as their underwear is so pretty, and has a boudoir feeling to it. And also probably because it is Agent Provocateur. Their prices have always put me off though. But then a few weeks ago I noticed that they had a sale with quite reasonable prices, so I went for it. What I bought arrived in such a beautiful wrapping with a little card, too.








They apparently still have a sale, if anyone's interested. Some items are also down to 70%.

Habits tag.

I was tagged by Sassy behind the cool blog 'Eurotrash' write about my habits.

1. Clothes shop: Topshop perhaps... but I mostly buy my clothes on the internet these days, and H&M has been disappointing recently. I also really like American Apparel.

2. Furniture shop: Not sure. We don't have any nice ones where I live. Otherwise I'd say Ikea I suppose.

3. Sweet: Dark chocolate.


4. City: Out of the ones I've been to I'd say London, but Paris is great too. Oh, and I also like Stockholm.

5. Drink: Water, tea, juice.

6. Music: the Kooks, Frou Frou, Au revoir Simone, Peter Sarstedt, the Kinks, Rufus Wainwright, Hanson, Regina Spektor, Imogen Heap, the Beatles, Feist, the Fray, Håkan Hellström, KT Tunstall, Paolo Nutini, the Shins, Radiohead and U2.

7. Tv-series: Sex and the City, Gilmore Girls, and I also like watching old series like 'The Little House on the Praire', and 'My Wonder Years'.

8. Film: I can't choose only one. Le Fabuleux destin d' Amelie Poulain, Closer, the Pianist, Annie, Garden State, Big Fish, Forrest Gump, Les Choristes, Leon.

9. Work out: Gymnastics, horseback riding, walking, and anything at the gym.

10. Pastries: Chocolate croissants.

11. Coffee: I don't like coffee.

I'm tagging Hannah-Zoë, Mandy, Erika, and Sea and Char.

London, day six.

This was our last full day in London, and it was a little stressful since there were many things we both wanted to do.


My boyfriend wanted to go to the Millennium Dome and I tagged along. It wasn't very special really...


but, there were some nice mushrooms there....

... and green shells...

... and games.

Afterwards I did some shopping on my own, and we met up again a little later and had lunch at a restaurant that someone had recommended to us. However, I wasn't very impressed. It was too pricey, and my food wasn't very tasty at all.



But my boyfriend liked his.


We then went to Portobello Road as I was looking for a café, which actually turned out to be closed. But the area in itself was very nice to see. I regret that we didn't come there another day to go to the market, but I'll have to do that next time I'm in London.

The shops in that area sold a lot of nice things.


In the evening we dropped by Covent Garden, and we discovered a sweetshop that sold sweets from all around the world. We ended up buying a lot of sweets that I had never seen before in my life.

That was sadly our last day in London, and now I miss it so much. I'm thinking about even trying to go back there twice, or at least once a year now since it's such a fantastic city.
