Travel in style

A lot of people are going on holiday these summer months, so I thought I'd post some pictures that can inspire us all to travel in style. Comfort is important, but that doesn't mean you can't look nice at the same time; for example a pair of ballerina flats look feminine and feel comfortable to wear.

What about wearing a summer dress with a thin cardigan and a lipstick that matches your shoes? Or a plain top, a skirt, some colourful shoes and a scarf?

Clothes line

The weather is lovely and it's really a shame that I don't have the time to be outside and enjoy it today; I've got a lot of things to do, such as washing my clothes. At least the underwear look quite pretty on the clothes line and I'm having fun taking pictures of it.

Box for scarves

I took a normal shoe box, covered it with a retro patterned paper I found and put some silk paper in it.

Latest finds

Darlings, I'm sorry I haven't replied to any comments the last days. I'm just so busy as I'm moving back to Norway next week, and not only have to pack and buy a few things but of course also want to spend as much time as possible with all my friends I have here in England. So the last week I've been going out for meals, movie nights, clubbing, a limo party and last night I had a gathering at mine, which was really nice.

Here are my latest finds; I'm so pleased with the bag which is real leather and only cost £50 at a market. The denim jacket is from a charity shop, and I've been looking for one for quite a while now. The sunglasses are from Camden, did you know you can get them for less money when it's raining? And then I bought a new perfume since it's a lot cheaper in England than Norway, and my favourite perfume is empty.


Have a great week everyone!

There's nothing more elegant than a dress with open back.

Cara / The Streethearts

The look is glamorous and sophisticated, yet casual and very suitable for her young age. I adore the red bag!
