Snow Snow Snow Fashion New Red Hair Christmas Snow Snow

It's been a few days.. I keep on giving up on being a real blogger and then I realize that it's something to keep me occupied while locked inside during a crazy snow storm. Why is this happening in the state that only gets rain rain rain rain rain sun rain rain rain rain. Very much snow. I slipped on ice yesterday twice in a row and hit my head. Needless to say vintage slouch boots with no traction whatsoever are not ice compatible. It hurt.

I died my hair red! And then I received the new Vogue today and noticed a feature on change and dying your hair red. I always knew I was slightly ahead of the curve.. ha ha ha. It looks like this:



I want to die it even more red because I'm addicted!!

Also, Starting on the 5th of January I have an internship at a cute little Shoe Boutique in my town and I simply cannot wait for that. Things are coming along. Since I've been talking about cold weather and red heads, look at this cute swedish girl found on stockholm streetstyle. Really and I can do these days is admire and be inspired by good street fashion. It's pretty real is all.

It's a list

So I'm not going to go intro extreme detail today about anything at all because it's just not so light here. The rain and the wet feet and the days without people. Blaahhh, anyway, I haven't had a whole lot of time to devote to thinking about fashion. Maybe that's the first sign that I'm not cut out for this world but I'm not going to accept that as a fact just yet.

Here are a few things from foreverXXI and maybe some other places that I want for christmas.











That's just a bit of the stuff that I really find adorable. Anything ornate, floral and vintage looking is my cup of tea.

Balenciaga and not knowing stuff

So, while scanning the November Vogue today (since my subscription sucks and I always get new issues late) I couldn't help but notice how many times a certain pair of yellow Balenciaga sandals seem to pop up. At least three times throughout the entire issue. I tried to find a photo of them all over the net and did not succeed, I'm assuming this is because they're from the spring collection that's not on the site anymore. Anywway, I can't decide if I thought their re occurrence was stupid, since it's Winter, or if global warming proves sandals are still acceptable this time of year. They're interestingly popular however. So instead of wasting my time talking about sandals that you can't even see, I thought I'd just comment on a few of my favorites this year in the Balenciaga "pre-collection" (I'm going to pretend I know what that means. Anyone who knows should tell me). What's more, the pre-collection is stunning and original.



These are my two favorite, they just happen to both be worn by the same model. I absolutely adore the contrast and femininity of the first as well as the detail on the jacket. I'm a huge fan of scarves, specifically paisley ones so the second was a definite winner in my eyes, haha. The boots not so much but the intricate tweed jacket is lovely.

That's all for now, I sure do love Balenciaga these days.

FRESH MEAT!

Oh, I'm new! Since blogging seems to run/take over so many kids lives these days, I figured I may as well jump on the band wagon. In my case, the preferable fashion band-wagon. It took me around an hour today to put on my clothing and I've been getting so frustrated! I have a habit of never wearing my favorite pieces of clothing because I'm "saving them" for the perfect event. That event never comes, they collect dust. I need to kick that. I'm going to Europe next year to live on exchange for around 10-12 months maybe I'll become more well-equipped fashion wise there. They seem to be pretty trendy chaps! I'll leave you with a cute little 17 year old girl from Helsinki thanks to Hel-looks.com since I don't like taking pictures of myself.. yet? I love that sweater as well as when people wear all black and gray and don't look sick or boring. Thank you girl.
