Well, I've been afraid of changing, 'cause I've built my life around you.

 Charcoal grey silk skirt, Djuna Paris. Sheer blouse, Monki. Brogues, vintage.

I have so many things I want to write about this outfit, but I have to go pick my boyfriend up at the train station. He's been working with a play in Oslo this week (writing, not acting!) and is finally coming home.

I guess I can try to keep it short and simple (like that's ever worked for me): So, this is what my hair looks like when I just let it dry after I washed it. If only it was longer it would probably work, but right now it's just a mess. A sort of cute mess, though!

This morning I found an orange lipstick in a drawer, I remember buying it but I'd never even broken the seal. I do that a lot - I'll see something in a magazine and think it looks rad, buy it, and then never try it on. I decided that today was the day to change that, and, well... I didn't like it. I mean, it looks allright, but whenever I ditch my usual dark red, I just keep thinking how much better I would have looked with it. Now is that boring or what!

And these brogues, oh, I know I say all my shoes are my favorite. But they are. Well, one of my favorites, at least.

Oops, seriously, I really have to go. Talk to you soon, my daaahlings!

  3. I just realised why I like you so much. You're such a down-to-earth person, and you still can't believe, that we're intrested in what you're sayin', and that is really ... I don't now. Adorable and calming. I mean, it's so gooohoood, that you're not a ... stuck-up bitch. I'm sorry, I couldn't put it into appropriate words :D

  10. Shayli introduced me to your blog, and I desperately want to type something in this comment box that is really clever and relevant and profound. Unlikely to happen, but here goes:

    1) I love the title of this post, Landslide is an amazing song and my mom and I tear up whenever we hear it on the radio or when we let the Fleetwood Mac CD collection of hers play on our really retro CD player in the car.

    2) You have a really great writing style - which probably stems from being a writer (I mean, that would make sense) - and I love reading everything you post because they're all really fun or relevant or both.

    3) I love this outfit! It's so casual and comfy and it looks effortless. It also happens to be very sophisticated-y while still being all those other things. I doubt that made sense - but yeah.

    4) I haven't written enough at all - but I will stop taking up so much space in this comment section and get myself together for the day.

    :)

  11. I really like your blog. I think it'll be one of my most visited. I have two questions though ;) 1. How did you get the tabs right under your banner? 2. And I was also trying to alter the list of blogs i follow coz I'm not digging the way blogger has it. So if you don't mind me asking, where did you get yours?

  12. You hair is so pretty with waves and curls! You should wear it like that more often; I think it's darling. :)

    And those brogues...loooove them.

    Have a great weekend!
