Oh dear! I keep forgetting I'm not in Kansas!

Dress, Gina Tricot. Vintage gold sequined pumps, Beyond Retro. Flower print socks, Lindex.

Of course I had to wear a dress and golden sequined shoes today - it's my blog's two week anniversary, for crying out loud!

I have to say that it feels like I've been writing this blog for much, much longer. Which is kind of weird - isn't time supposed to fly when you're having fun? Because I sure am having fun with all of this, and with all of you! I already knew the blogosphere is filled to the absolute brim with the friendliest, sweetest, funniest people, but I had no idea to what extent.

A huge thank you to every single person who has left me a comment these past two weeks, you're all so incredibly amazing.

So, this look is my own interpretation of little miss Dorothy Gale on her adventures in the land of Oz. In this outfit story, she's kind of just... lost. She hasn't figured out where she is yet, she's tired from her tornado-trip and her cat*, although super cute, is of no help at all. Poor, poor, pityful Dororthy!

*In case you're worried that I might be confused (or blind), I am aware that Toto is a dog in the movie. But in the film she also has a scarecrow as a friend. And one who's made out of tin. So I couldn't really get very close to the original, anyway. One's got to work with what one's got, so to speak. At least my cat looks pretty much like the Cowardly Lion.

  2. Your outfit is so sweet! Dorothy would be jealous.

    And I can completely see your cute kitty accepting a medal of bravery from the Wizard! He's just like a mini-lion.

  3. Ah - this is lovely. Let me start with how jealous I am of that dress, because I love white and color mixes but I know if I owned it I would manage to spill all sorts of nonsense on it.

    The final picture, your portrait, looks professionally done - the rest do too, but the final is just WOW, holy cannoli - yeah.

    Anywho - I guess I'll end by saying, in response to one of my previous comments and your response-thingy - that my papa is a government guy and we've been all over South America. Bolivia is amazing - especially for the culture and color, but it's still rather poor and dangerous when you don't know what you're doing.

    Colombia (especially Bogota) is my absolute favorite place - the city is like NYC, except the people are nicer and they speak better English AND Spanish.

    I've never made it too the east, though, except for a brief stint in a German airport. I suspect I'll have to go someday.

  17. First of all, YOU ARE SOOO BEAUTIFUL! I love your type of beauty and the way you accent it with a lipstick. I must also ask, which one do you usually use? This colour is perfect.

    I found your blog via Lookbook and I'm quite sure I should set my own blog, too.

    And, of course, I adore your style <3
