Bargain boots!


Took my new H&M boots for a stroll this weekend and I must say I quite like them! A plus for not causing any blisters... The heel is just right not too high for everyday use and I'm glad they're not too high at the ankle. Most ankle boots are and that just makes my legs look very manly and chunky, not very pretty. They're quite roomy so they'll be great for winter too! Ok, I'll stop talking about my boots now before this turns into an essay...

Sun still going strong



Ok, so one of my legs look bigger than the other one in this photo (hopefully not in real life...) but what I wanted to mention is the fact that the weather still allows me to go dressed like this. Not that I don't love my collection of tights, as a matter of fact I just bought some new lovlies and will most definitely be buying more, but what I'm saying is that you can never have too much sun! Actually left Madrid to spend my weekend on one of the islands but can't really complain about lack of sunshine here either.




To be completely fair I did feel the need of a jacket in the evenings but we were up in the mountains, sort of...

Cravings...


My mind is hardly ever set on bags but from time to time I do discover some beauties that I wouldn't mind investing in. A good friend and I were chatting about Mulberry and we've both fallen in love with this piece of loveliness, the "Alexa" bag. Obviously named after Alexa Chung. I seriously need a new bag! I've only got two at the moment (moving around like a nomad means always leaving things behind, such as bags...) and one is falling apart while the other one is just plain ugly. What a poor girl to do?

Sweet lyrics

I know a girl, loose on apple cider.
On a hot summer's day, I know where to find her.
Sitting in the shade with that cool apple cider, Oh you got it made with that cool apple cider.


Look at her face, the glow of apple cider.
And I know a place, I can get some cider.
Sitting in the shade with that cool apple cider, Oh you got it made with that cool apple cider.
Got to give me some.
Give me some.
Give me some.
Give me some apple cider.

Hello there!



Hello there new white shoes! So how was the first stroll around Madrid like? Yeah, I know the streets are new to me too but it'll be alright, we'll get to know them better together. Well, it must at least have been nice to leave the stockroom of that random shoe shop? At first I wasn't sure if you should come home with me I quite liked the black version of you too... But in the end I decided that you were more special and ma boy agreed, end of story.

Madrid Madrid

Ok, so I've moved to Madrid and I must say that my first week here has been lovely. Been strolling around and trying to remember everything I need to know. Just wish that my sweets could stay here with me and not go back...







The weather finally gave me the chance to use my dress I bought in May. I like!

I also heart Madrid...

Ethnical 80's?


On Saturday there was a flea market in front of the cathederal, nice surprise! I love walking around inspecting all the junk. One can find anything including a gold puffin brooch or why not vintage porn?! All for a bargain price of course. Well, we settled with a few other things instead. My b-friend bought me this jumpsuit for example and I found this navy belt. Judging by this picture people might think I got dressed in the dark... But I like the feel of this all-in-one piece (even though it makes me look a bit frumpy), it's like the 80's meets rural East-Asian "dresscode". On top of that a friend found my sock-shoe combination very psychadelic...
I'm moving to Madrid tomorrow and I'm so freakin' nervous! Starting over on my own once again. Exciting indeed but also scary... Telling myself it'll be fine...

Searching for wide


I've been searching for wide (highwaisted) jeans for as long as I can remember though without luck. I bought these light blue ones from H&M last year and managed to take them up just a tiny bit too much... (but I obviously still wear them). What I would like though is a pair of dark ones that doesn't make one look like thunderthighs. I'm starting to sense that these requests might be unrealistic since one does not have long supermodel legs... Still, I don't think I'll give up my search just yet. You know, you always find what you want when you're not looking for it.

Sweet company


Having my sister here made me think of how I also miss other darlings, like these stylish sweethearts! Well they did come and visit me and it was great having them here, if only for a week. Next time will definitely be my turn to make a visit....

Missing sis'...


Had a lovely week with my sister just wish she could've stay for longer... Why can't all your friends and family just move with you whenever you move? Mystery of life... We didn't get up to much just hanging around, taking walks, going to the beach, the usual, lol! In the picture below my sister is wearing a Luke Perry - tee, nice! I always prefered Brandon to Dylan though, yes I'm a square...




We went to a sweet market on Sunday

Airy white


Loving airy white tops at the moment. This one for example makes it possible for me to wear long sleeves in this heat. Don't get me wrong since I'm always going on about the weather, I love the sun but getting dressed can sometimes be a bit tricky. You don't want to end up with sweat stains on your back for example... Natural but not very pleasant. Also liking my new shorts that my sister gave me. Quite fond of most things in the colour of sweets.
