"You're in. You can leave the runway."

High-waisted grey pants, Johanna Vikman. Black sleeveless sheer blouse and white lace bra, Monki. Red zipper wedges, Nelly.

(Photos by me.)

I have about six hundred and eighty-three things to do today, before I go and pick up our friends David and Emma at the train station in... five and a half hours. So for once, I won't bore you with details about how much I like these pants but how I can never get them to look as good in photos as they do in real life, how ugly I think these wedges are but how they also somehow manage to be sort of awesome, or how - oh, right. Not bore you. 683 things to do. I should get to it.

So I'm just going to say: This is what I wore to work yesterday (and by work I mean I was hanging out in my beautiful office, trying to get things done - that reminds me, I should show you what the office looks like now that it's all furnished!). I was especially happy with the hair. Thought it looked a little catwalk-esque (you know what I mean, don't you?), and the bun actually stayed in place all day, even though it was only held up by a couple of bobby pins.

I hope you're all having a terrific Friday, and I'll talk to you again soon - we have another giveaway coming up...









PS. The title has nothing to do with the post, I know. I've just been watching way too much Project Runway lately. DS.

  4. How did you get your hair to do that awesome style? I've been trying to create something similar, but my fine hair just sort of flops over. Might you be up for a hair tutorial? :)

  7. Lisa and The Lady Nerd, I wish I could tell you how to fix the hairstyle, but I never have a plan when I do my hair. I washed it, blow-dried it, then played around with it: twisted it into a bun and pinned it up - if you asked me to do it again today, I could never do it! I've never been able to make my hair do what I want it to, it does whatever it wants and I just have to make the best of it.

  9. I love your hair, it looks very elegant, but not in an overly prim way. It just looks cool basically. I like the close-up, the dusty pink blusher is so cute.

  10. I was just thinking about posting a comment on how great your ewdges look and that these are not easy to work, but you managed it and then I read that you think they're ugly?! No, I think that they are a wonderful addition to a simple fall outfit..

  15. I just read your article- the one about the lady wanting to "sculpt away" inches of your hips. I laughed!! I have always wanted to have an hourglass figure and my super narrow hips are the problem. (I dont care about my thick waist being the problem hee :) I thought after having the baby my hips would widen but no, I still fit into ridiculously small jeans that I shouldn't wear. I guess the grass is always greener on the other side. :)
    In the meantime, I'm going to get pants like the ones you are wearing here. Maybe that will help my little problem.
    You are so gorgeous by the way- but then again, you already know that .
    The only thing you are wrong about is your wedges. They are sooo NOOOT ugly. LOL. LOVE the red boots.
    Good night.

  19. Your bun hair is so amazing, and I got stunned by how well those red boots looked with autumn leaves. Ugly pretty boots is always great.
