I'm welcomng 2013 wearing a dress from Monki which I'm pairing with a coin headband that I made  myself, some antique golden bracelets from Indiska and Accessora.se and DIY rings. To top it off I'm borrowing the killer shoes, Jeffrey Campbell Lita Spike, from my little sister! 

I hope you have a great evening happy, spending the last couple of hours in 2012 and that happy, as well, you welcome 2013! :)

 January: 

I don't know if you've noticed, but this year it has all been about shells! As jewelry, accessories or home decoration! I've been searching different second hand and vintage shops, browsing through Tradera adn Ebay, just to find small treasures from the sea. Now, I have quite the collection which is growing all the time! =)

 

I ordered this lovely handpiece from Sheinside.com couple of weeks ago and was so afraid that it wouldn't arrive until I leave for Macedonia. The lucky duck I am..received it in the mail while on the way out from the apartment! Love it so much! What do you think babes ?!?

The first time I posted this photo I only though of my summer essentials, never actually realised that I'd also capture the most worn accessories of 2012. The brown, fringe bag from Glitter, belt and shoes from H&M, shades from Monki, DIY necklaces as well as an headband from Madlady.se. All of my friendship bracelets, my turquoise stone rings and the feather earring. 

Another Christams present from my love! We found this elderly couple at a Christams market that make their own jewelry. All the jewelry they make, rings, necklace-pendatns and earrings are in the shapes of a cast of sea shells that are picked by the Swedish coast. The shape is made in tin which is then dipped in silver or gold! 

Every shape is unique and the original shapes are kept safe at the couples place. I'm completely fascinated with this idea, how cool and really exclusive it is! Such a thoughtful present I think! =)

I love early Christmas presents! I got this feather earring from the b'friend. He's bought it from a street vendor that sells his handmade jewelry and leather pieces at the local Christmas market. The label is called Earth Dancer! 

What do you think ?!?

Less is more has never really been my time. I do have those days, but my life is all about more is more =) This, especially when it comes to jewelry, making a statement, either if it comes to big pieces or small, but layered ones. I love playing around with layering jewelry, styles, lengths, materials! That's what I love the most when it comes to styling an outfit.

What about you ?!? Are you like me or less is more when it comes to you ?!?

The last week through Instagram! I've got little less than one week until I'm in Macedonia! =) Yey! So, I guess the next "instagram collage" you'll see will be with snapshots from when there! Can't wait!

An outfit from december last year. I really like the flares, the paisley print peared with faux fur and the headband.  It is really an outfit that I could copy any time! It is perfect as an outfit inspiration! 

Found this tunic at Nelly.com's sale department. The mix of white chiffon, lace and fringe is perfect for me and I just couldn't resist it. It's a perfect summer piece, but I'll try to mix it in with my winter wardrobe as well! =)

I love black jeans! It's the number one thing every girl should have in her closet if you ask me! The perfect base when creating any outfit...But, it can look very boring, even though it may not be the same pair of black jeans you wore yesterday, it still looks the same. That is why I think it's good to invest in apair of black jeans with a bit different wash that the ones you already  have, look for decorations like zippers, studs or embroidery. 

In the collage above you see some jeans that you can find in store now and my favourites are the pair from Topshop and the last pair from H&M! Which is yours ?!?
