Got this ring at carrooco.se for only 20 SEK (2 euros), it was on sale and I completely fell for it! It's so simple, yet so complex and so me! Check out more of their jewelry here!
It's no doubt I love everything this amazing duo of a stylist and a photographer create, but now they incorporate something I love even more...bags, Patrick Shannon bags! They are all so amazing and I'd love to see that tiger head, fringe clutch in my closet! So badass, get them here! =)
Not as many as I'd like to have, but it sure is a small collection! =) The earring and the neckalce below are from Chippewa Blackbird, the golden one is from H&M and the black necklace is a DIY where I merged a small dreamctahcer with a thread from an old necklace whcih I didn't use anymore!
I really love dreamcatchers and their meaning! Love to have them as a home decoration and jewelry, how about you ?!?
Spelldesigns have released their ss 12/13 lookbook (more about that soon) and I'm dying over it! One thing I fell for deeply and want badly is this shell skirt! It's a hand crocheted skirt with tassels and hand sewn shells! I love the beaige version, but if I'd ever to buy one it will be the black one! It's more "me" in a way and the shells get the attention they deserve! =)
What do you think babes ?!? Which one would you choose ?!?

I recieved this beautiful rose printed kimono from Arnhem Clothing the other day! It has travelled all the way from Australia to get to me in Sweden! I was so hoppy when I opened the package since the kimono looked even better than expected! I love the material, it is so soft and flowy which so complements the model of the it! Arnhem is an australian brand for which I found out not so long ago! I fell deeply for the feminine and elegant, but yet so free spirited pieces like the flowy kimonos and breezy dresses! How better to describe the pieces if not by using their own words:
"Each piece a special tribute to a world adorned with pretty things, You'll fall in love with the effortless style of these unique and timeless pieces, Arnhem is something to treasure forever." - couldn't agree more!
Can't wait for a sunny day soon, so I could go outside and make a beautiful photo shoot, wearing this kimono while chasing the sun!
Fell inlove with this necklace the moment I saw it, both this and the darker brown beads/turquoise peace pendant version. It was very hard to decide which one I'll buy, but after a going back and forth a while I clicked this one home and I'm very happy with my decision!
It's from Bijoux by us and you'll find it at nelly.com!
You saw some of the inspirational detail shot for home decor in my moodboard here, but I thought I'd share some more close ups with you guys! I think that light has a crucial roll when it comes to the cosy and homey factor in a room and that is why I love having a lot of candle lights in odd, home-made. one of a kind candle holders! After the candles, the ceiling lamp is also very important for a living room so it really takes a long time for me to find the perfect one! These photos will surve as inspiration while I'm on a search for canfle holders and lamps!
H&M has filled their web-shop with so many great pieces and I picked out my favourites that you see in the collage. Love the black lace dress, the jewelry is perfect and love the patterned, knitted dress-perfect to stay cozy and warm on a Saturday afternoon when out for a walk! The fringe top is one of those base tops that my wardrobe needs and the printed cardigan is just so lovely! =)
What do you think ?!? Do you have any favourites ?!?
If you ask me a bag is the perfect accessorie a girl could have (even though I'm a shoe-kind-of-person)! You should own one for different occasions, casual, school, work and going out. Personally, I have a more "casual" style so I like the "crossbody" bags, prefferably with fringe and some tassels, stones, emroideries and prints....like those you see in the collage above!
What do you think babes?!? Is the bag something you invest in or you go more for the shoes, or maybe something compeletely different ?!? Tell me! =)
It's no secret that I love shells! So, imagine me in a second hand shop finding this necklace - happy! Seeing the price tag (1 euro) - exhilarated! So, it's mine now and I can't wait to layer it with other shell necklaces!
What do you think babes ?!?

I have a thing for velvet in deep, royal colours, like royal blue or red! When I saw this dress at Nelly.com,from One Teaspoon I was left brethless! It's a velvet, mini dress in a dark blue shade, deep back and bell sleeves! What more could a girl ask ?!? The perfect dress for New Year's Eve (eek...already thinking about that!!!), but seriously...this is a dress that will work throughout the year, a statement necklace and killer heels and you're ready for a night out...or, layer some necklaces, add a hat and a pair of boots and off you go for a shopping round with the girls!
I think I just convienced myself that I really need this dress in my life...hmmmm...What do you guys think ?!?
The other day I found that that I was featured as one of 10 inspirational blogs for week 37 at modette.se. Was actually pleasantly surprised to hear that and I'm more than happy to be put in the inspirational section because of my outfit, since that's exactly what I'm aspiring to do when posting outfits! I'm also very honoured to have been listed in the same cathegory as some of my favourite blogges like Annawii and Emsedge!
Thanks to Anna for sharing the information about this article, I would've totally missed it otherwise ;)
Got this cardigan at Madlady.se together with this shirt! The print is amazing, I love the model and the fact that is so cosy! I'll deffinitely keep warm this winter! What do you think ?!?
I love a great jacket! It's the key piece for every outfit since we wear jackets quite often! It can make or break an outfit in a second. Especially in the fall/winter seasons, the perfect coat makes a great outfit piece on its own, you complete it with great accessories as the sunglasses, bag, gloves and shoes and you're done. Lately I've gone completely crazy about embelished, embroidered and jackets with a print! My next buy would be a leather/suede jacket with some embroidery! So rad!

I've had this photo of Poppy Delevigne in my inspiration folder for a very long time! The perfect bohemian chic outfit for colder weather, and here in Gothenburg is getting colder by the minute! Love how she paired the colourful faux fur vest with matching colour, kelim-inspired boots, light blue jeans and a sheer, white blouse! Complete bohemian perfection and I almost have to try something similar to this with pieces from my closet! Perfect for this season! =) What do you think sweeties ?!?
Here it is! My dreamcatcher earring! I'm completely in love with it! When I saw it at Chippewa Blackbird (but in different colours) I knew I had to have one since it will suit my style perfectly and it's so my type of jewelry! I contacted them to ask if I could choose the colours and there was no problem! I wanted a white dreamcatcher and turquoise blue beads and voilá! Renata is so talented and I couldn't be more satisfied with my new earring! Have a look at her work here and tell me what you think!
I love jewellry and because of that I tend to buy a lot of which results in those not being used just sitting in a corner! Well, I've had some time to clean up my jewelry cabinet this weekend and have reduced a lot! Some I'll give as presents to my nearest, some I'll sell and some I might give away to you (if you are interested in something like that let me know;).
Anyways, I've decided to be more clever when buying jewelry and only get those things that I really feel strongly about without spending a fortune! I love finding new places to shop jewelry from and these are some of my latest purchases! Can't wait until they arrive beacuse I have a feeling that the'll look even better in real life! =)
cardigan&jeans - H&M; belt - Spelldesigns.com; bag - Zara; boots - Laredoute.com
I really fell for this frizzy cardigan and this is exactly on hoe I plan to match it, besides the very obvious "whole white outfit"! A soft, suede fringe bag, brown belt and boots and a lot of jewlery! A perfect boho-hippie chic outfit that works for every season and occasion! Just change the jeans to denim cut offs or a skirt and the boots for heels and you're done! =)
The last weekend I went with my mom on a second hand round and found this! I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw a rose quartz crystal in a second hand shop and for 1/5th of the price than they usually cost when this big! There was no question if I was going to have it so here it is! Haven't figured out the right place for it to be, so wright now it's placed between the flowers at the window and I quite like it like that actually!
"Rose quartz is known as the love stone. It helps the user feel a strong sense of self-worth, therefore being worth love. Rose quartz is the stone of universal love. It is also the stone of love in marriage. When worn in jewelry the wearer feels a sense of self-worth."
I found out about Chippewa Blackbird jewelry through a friend's Facebook page. Clicked myself in to see what they offer and literarly fell of my chair! It's a girl from Kumanovo, Macedonia that has stared selling her handmade jewelry consisting mostly of dreamcatchers in different sizes and forms. She makes everything from necklaces, earrings and bracelets! The Facebook page (go here) is daily updated with her handmade pieces! I fell in love with several different ones, but this one, called "hot summer" stayed in my mind long after I'd seen it!
After contacting Chippewa Blackbird's own Renata and talked a while I received this necklace as a present! I have to admit that it is beautifully made and I love all the details! I got something else, cutom-made, also dreamcatcher (for which I payed of course;), but you'll see that some other time! =)
I spotted this lovely cardigan at H&M the other day! Really amazing! Love the fact that is furry/frizzy (can't really find the right word for it) and I can just imagine how soft it must be to the touch! I love that is white since I love wearing white in winter and I can see how great it will look with a "whole-white-outfit" as well as being the bright spot in an casual outfit! However, I'd really like to have a look at it in real life and actually feel the material! If I still feel the same about the cardigan afterwards...it will be mine! ;)
hat - Vila - blazer&bag - Romwe.com; necklace - Spelldesigns.com; jeans - H&M; boots - Topshop.com
I love velvet, burgundy and navy (very dark blue) are my favourite colours of the material! It really brings the mysteriousness and the "witchy" of the material and every piece made out of it! Browsing through Romwe.com I found this blazer and fell for it completely! If I own it, this is exactly how I'd match it (plus a white shirt), to achieve the dark bohemian, Jimmy Hendrix, rock'n roll meets the witches look! =)
Besides collecting inspirational photos of entire rooms and their decor, I have a look out for small details, prints, materials, colours! This moodboard is a collection of some of those photos and point in the right direction of how I want my home to look like...What do you think ?!?
Flares! I've had a period where I loved them, then felt nothing about them and now I feel how my love for them is coming back! But I don't want the classic denim ones, I'd like them patterned, patchworked, crochet or in lace! They should be really thight until the knee and then, below the knee they flare open! Amazing! Here are two looks featuring flares which are not in blue denim and I love them! Love the styling as well! Too bad we're going into a rainy perion right now and rain does not go well with flaers, but they can be the perfect piece fro spring/summer....something worth thinking about!
What do you think babes? Do you prefer the denim flares or are flares not your thing at all ?!? Love to hear what you have to say! =)
Found this crochet top (that you saw me wearing here) at Ellos.se! Love it so much especially since it's one of those pieces that work throughout the year! =) What do you think babes ?!?
It's no secret that I have a special relationship with turquoise jewels and here are to necklaces that I would like to see in my jewlery cabinet ASAP! =) The left one is from Indiska and I just love how elegand and luxurious it looks! It's a great statement piece and it would make any outfit turn some heads, if you know what I mean ;)
The one on the right is from Bijoux by us, a jewelry brand that you'll find at Nelly.com. I love the chunky wooden beads and the turquoise peace pendant. It's really long and can be worn by itself or layered with other necklaces!
They both match my style perfectly and will complement any of my outfits! What do you think babes? Yay or nay ?
Today I went for a more 70's inspired outfit, which in itself was inspired by the theme party we had this weekend...but this turned out to be a more casual look with denim on denim, brown adn golden details, fringe and flares! What do you think so far ?!?
jeans - H&M; knit - Cubus; bag - Nelly.com; rings - Spelldesigns.com // Kyssjohanna.com; boots - Zara
I'm really crazing cosy knits at the moment, cable knits, oversized knits, printed knits...you name it...and this is exactly how I'd wear them! I'd deffinitely go for a casual-boho look with fringe boots, spacy bag, tight denim jeans and a lot of rings! What do you think ?!?
Some shots from the last week from my Instagram! It was a long week actually, went from being sick with the flu, felt a bit better when a package from Madlady arrived, found treasures at a local second hand shop, had a crazy 70's party for my sister's birthday and today I did some "diy" project I had in mind for a long time! =)
Turquoise scarfas a turban, turquoise eyeliner, deep blue nailpolish, turquoise jewelry....mixed with and emroidered dress, cruly hair and a lot of beaded necklaces! These were the details of my 70's inspired luxe-bohemian! What do you think babes ?!?
Those of you wh've follow my blog know that I'm a huge Palema Love fan and I'm absolutely crazy about ther jewelry! So you can imagine how I felt when I heard that she collaborated with Nine West for a small boot "collection".
I love these, the metal detail is fenomenal I love that it's patterned and that it's both at the toes and the heel! I would love a pair in every colour. Too bad they're only sold in USA. Those of you who can, get them here!
Tonight we are celebrating my middle sister who is turning 19! We're having a party theme: the 70's! I couldn't be more happier about the choice and here is a little preview of what I'll be wearing! I'm going for a luxe-bohemian style with a lovely tunic with silver embroidery, layers and layers of necklaces, bangles and rings, dreamcatcher earrings and a turban!
You'll see the whole outfit tomorrow, but tell me, what do you think so far ?!?
I received this bag in my mail the other. It's a gift from karmastyle.se, and I love it so much! Love the deep green colour mixed with the pasley print. It also has a very cool shape which was har to capture in a photo, but it is actually a lot wider when you separate the straps, which means it fits a lot of things and that's a big plus!
I love antique jewlery! ItThey always look so special and a lot of work lays behind it! I love the fact that the jewlery always looks so heavy even though it doesn't have to be! One thing is for sure...you'll always make a statement and are the only one with it! =)
Sunshine, antique golden jewelry, feathers and sunshine,sunshine,sunshine! I'm so happy that the weather has been beautiful this week. Sunshine mixed with crisp in the air....perfect autumn weather! =)
This is my new denim shirt that you saw me wearing here. I was looking for one that fits perfectly and which is in the perfect blue shade. Denim shirts are one of those staple pieces in my wardrobe. It's great for layering as well as a single piece and it works in every occasion! =)
"This lookbook is reminiscent of those rock n’ roll bohemian days, all wrapped up in texture, rich color schemes and patterns made cool with khaki details, studding and heavy jewelry. Each look is romantic, in that dark, bohemian way. It’s like a modern Stevie Nicks or Janis Joplin just stepped off a bus and brought along with them Jimi Hendrix’s wardrobe."
I couldn't have said it better myself! Part gypsy, part rock'n roll, this lookbook is my favourite by far! Love every single piece and the styling is to die for! This is a look book I will always come back to when I need inspiration for this season! =)
There are several pieces thath have moved in my loset recently. You've seen some of them already in some outfits, but here they are in a small sneak peek! You'll get a close up from all of them eventually, of course! =)
Antique golden jewelry, bunch of friendship bracelets, crochet top, fringe, denim, a brown braided belt and sunshine!!! A bit of summer in an autumn outfit! I absolutely love it! Those are today's details...what do you think ?!?
Here are some of my latest outfits. As you can see in the background fall has arrived and I've actually worn some of my fall "must haves". The hat, the fringe cardigan, denim shirt, Navajo printed coat, patchworked jeans, leo jeans, boots and a fringe bag! Do you have a favourite one ?!?
Those of you who read my blog know that I've been doing some beading lately, beaded some bracelets and necklaces and some earrings! You've seen me wore some of these and since there were some who liked my bracelets, as they are beaded with wooden beads, colorful skulls or turquoise crosses and suit every style. You can wear one or stack them or match them with your wrist watch!
I decided to make two for my readers that you can win in this give away! The only thing you need to do is:
1. Write a comment that you are in and which bracelet you'd like to win if you are the winner (a.turquoise cross or b. colourful skull).
2. For a higher chance to win you can use the photo above and tip about this give away on your blog, Facebook, Tumblr, Instagram etc.
There will be two winners since there are two bracelets! Good luck to everyone! =)
Bolo-tie, conchos, fringe, denim and Navajo print. Those are today's details! Went for a more western inspired outfit today, what do you think sweeties?!?
You saw me wearing them here! I'm absolutely crazy about my new pair of jeans! Love the patchwork, the fit and the soft denim! You'll see a lot of them this season, or no, always! ;) You'll find them at Lindex! =)
This is where most of the bone beads that I bought at Panduro went this weekend while I was "beading" with the b'friend! A long, prayer necklace which is perfect for layering with other necklaces, but has the same effect when worn alone! The great thing is that it is made in a way that it could be worn as a double layer, shorter necklace! I love it!
I love shells! Big, small...you name it! Another thing I love is shell jewelry, accessories and home decoration! Yeah, you can go and buy all this in different stores today, but I feel that it's more fun to ream around a beach near the sea/ocean and collect them yourself, don't you ?!? I have some accessories froms shells (that you can see here), but I would like some more bracelets, but also some home decor...time to plan a beach vacation maybe ?!? =)
P.S. if you know a place where I could buy some shell chandelliers (like on the photot above) please share! I would really like to have one at home! =)
So, my head is full of things that I want to do, shoot, style, create... but the weather is being so awful and it will continue since it's fall! It felt that I really need to start doing something with my ideas before they fade away or my head explodes =) So here it is...my wandering gypsy spirit, triggered by the full moon, is finally out! ;)
I went to Panduro the other they and bought some more pearls, this time wooden ones, some made of bones and some feathers. After so many beaded bracelets and necklaces I decided to try and make an earring instead and came up with this! I like it very, very much, and I don't plan on makinf another one, since I think that this one will look great on for itself!
Here are a bunch of detail shots from some of my latest outfits! Some inspiration for both me and all of you guys! Jewelry and other accessories really make an outfit shine bright and stand out. So, my tip to you is to invest in accessories if you feel like you can't spend all your money on buying new clothes! That necklace, bag, scarf, belt and bracelets make a great deal for your outfit! =)
Found this ring at a market which was on a square near my place! So many things that wake cravings, but I was holding my wallet and bought only this! Love the shape, the turqouise stone and the fact that it is a bit smaller in size than the ones I already have! =)
What an inspirational bunch of photos!! Don't you agree?!? Love the wildness, the ruffness as well as the powerful feel one get's while looking at them!
A wide, long knitted shawl moved into my closet recently! It will be perfect for the cold weather to come and I love the print and the fringe, it'll be a bright spot in the dark weather to come! =)
fringe jacket - H&M; jeans - Lindex; clucth - Pieces via Nelly.com; bracelets - Forever21.com; boots - Keliboots via Louandfriends.com
Love this jacket from H&M so much, too bad that winter is on its way, not summer, and I already own a similar jacket. If I didn't, I would click it home as we speak and match it like this. A pair of blue denim, skinny jeans, a colour-blocked clutch, a lot of colourful bracelets and a pair of cool boots, like these, Kelim ones! It's a perfect boho-casual-chic outfit, don't you think ?!?
Although I am a real summer child and preffer heat, sun and long nights out...there is still something so mystical and magnificent about autumn! It must be the special smell in the air, the first sign of the weather changing, the amazing colour palette and the cosy-factor!
Here are some photos from the blog of the last month! I like looking at it, because I think that the colours and the patterns really represent the change of seasons!
