This Mod(ern) Love.

Leopard print 60's dress and blue blazer, vintage. Black bowler hat, Monki. Grey/light pink over knee socks, Asos.com. White boots, Dr. Martens, from Nelly.com. Red satchel, The Leather Satchel Co.

(Photos by my little sister Amanda - thank you baby!)



Saying I'm not really a party girl would still be a gigantic understatement. Not that I don't like to go out and have fun with my friends - but ever since we moved out to the countryside a year and a half ago, and especially since we got our kitties, going out has become somewhat of a project that I very rarely have the energy to commit to. The upside is that when I do, I usually enjoy myself times a thousand!

My little sister Amanda turned 18 in July and yesterday we decided to go out together for the first time. She borrowed my sensationally sparkly Disco Pony blazer, I curled my hair and put on some kind of mod inspired outfit, and we went to a party that a group of my old and dear friends were throwing on a boat in the Stockholm southern harbor. (Photos to be posted!)

I will admit I felt a tad bit overdressed on our way to the party... but when we got there some guy told me I reminded him of Kate Bush, and I felt quite awesome again.

  2. I know what you mean :) I'm usually a couch potato and I don't go out too much, but when I do I enjoy myself so much! You look spectacular btw, and I'm in love with your satchel.

  5. You look luminous in these photos - beautiful background, and beautiful Annika! The leather satchel is my favourite detail, especially as it compliments all those hints of red.
    By the way, I think being compared to Kate Bush is pretty awesome. I really want to do a shoot inspired by her at some point, as she was such a unique figure. Her Aerial album is sublime.

  9. Really? Not a party girl? That is not what one would say after seeing the homemade video of you jumping up and down in our kitchen, shouting "WOOO, WOOO..." and holding an greedily eye on that jumbo bottle of champagne M is about to open.

    I'm just saying!

  14. Annika, i just love you! Thank you for the most loveliest comment - it has really cheered me up. I adore your blog and I always love reading about your adventures.
