"A lady's imagination is very rapid; it jumps from admiration to love, from love to matrimony, in a moment."

Blue dress with denim feel, H&M. Light blue striped "flatform" shoes and straw hat, Monki. Flower print socks, Lindex. Lipstick: "Soft rose" by Dr. Hauschka.

Usually I really, really hate pale lipstick (not on other people of course, but on myself). I don't know what got into me yesterday, but I just felt like this outfit wouldn't be complete without very pale pink lips. Not sure what I think about the result, but it did feel right at the time, and that's always what matters!

The dress is one of the best ones I own, no doubt. It fits me perfectly and I always feel so feminine and, like, serene when wearing it. And a little bit like someone out of a Jane Austen-novel. Not sure what it is that makes me think of English 19th century litterature... probably the ruffles. ;)

I'm so excited - my mom just got here!  We're going to dinner (an excuse to dress up, yay!) and I can't wait to talk to her about everything that's happening in my life right now. 

I'm thinking of wearing this gorgeous black sequin 1920's style dress that my best friend's mom gave me the last time I visited her in her clothing store. She owns this amazing little boutique in the Old Town in Stockholm, filled to the brim with breathtaking dresses, bags and coats in every possible print and color. 

When my best friend Fanny was still with us, she helped out her mom in the store a lot, and before the sales she and her mom would always sneak away the items they thought would be perfect for me and give them to me as gifts. 

Nothing will ever be the same in our lives again since September the 21st last year, but Fanny's mom Kerstin still puts aside the clothes she thinks I would like. When she gave me the sequin dress about a month ago, she said, "I guess you won't have any use for this until, I don't know, New Year's Eve?". But I told her no way, I'll most definitely wear it before then! And yeah, I think tonight might be the night. Will make sure to take photos, either before we leave or after we come back home! Hopefully you'll love it as much as I do.
