As a pure jewellery and accessories fan, I've noticed that I like experimenting on how I wear my jewellery and I always discover fun ways to do it! This summer I went from being all about statement pieces, to layering thin, chain necklaces with various pendants. It's usually two or three with different lenghts so that they make a good gradation. A great tip for wearing your necklaces if you are going for that cool and casual, boho-chic feel.
These three above are relatively new and my favorite necklaces when it comes to layering. The one on the far left is an old sterling silver necklace, but the Onyx, arrow head pendant, that I found in my favorit shop,The Rainbow is new! The necklace with the green crystal is from JC (a present) and the third one is from Thevintage-a.com, which I won on a give away!
What do you think babes? How do you wear your necklaces, are you a statement necklace kind a gal, or you like layering them?
Imagine my happines when I found this vintage, leather, Levi's belt! At first, it was the badges with the different symbols that cought my eye, then I saw it was Levi's and it was only 6 Euro!
I'm a belt-nerd so I am really happy that I can add this one to my growing collection!
This is actually one necklace made out of several threads with different wooden beads. Found it in a second hands shop and got it very cheap! Second hand and vintage shops are the perfect ones to dig out treasures!
While in Greece I had my eyes open for all jewellery made from shells. As I don't live by the sea, shells aren't easy to be found, especially in jewellery. I was super excited when I found a street vendor that sells rings made out of shells!
As you see in the photo above I got one from a sea snail and a shell. The bracelet is from a shop in the place we were at, it's pieces of shells glued to wooden bits. Couldn't be more happier! What do you think babes ?!?
Something I love putting on whenever and whatever ttime of the year it is, are kimonos! I have a small, but growing collection and the latest member is this lace and fringe kimono from H&M!
It's one of those "basic pieces that aren't actually basic", very versatile and gives that cool and casual, but yet boho-hippie-chic feel, wheter it's paired with jeans, shorts, dresses or skirts!
It's bikini season and I've found the perfect bikini! It's crochet, two-tone brown, lighter on top - darker on bottom and it has beads! Can't wait to pair it with sandy toes, salty hair and fresh air!
Found this dreamy, lace top at Laredoute.se! Love how the pattern is different from all the "lace patterns! I've seen so far! It's a perfect top for these hot summer days, as well as for layering! A perfect dose of bohemian to your outfit!
I finally found the perfect summer shoes! I've never been so much for sandals and I love wearing my boots throught summer as well...but sometimes a "socks-free" day(s) could be good for the feet as well!
These lovely and comfortable loafers come from Minnetonka and are called Thunderbird II. I look forward to a lot of hot, summer days with these!
Obsessed with this top from Laredoute.se! It's a white, peplum top with a dreamy lace back. The material is perfectly soft cotton that makes love to the skin!

Going through my most recent archive, I noticed that I had been wearing a lot of new jewelry that you haven't seen before! My jewelry box has become pretty full and unorganized lately, mostly due to the fact that new jewelry is being added and I don't have the time to sit and sort the pieces.
In the collage above you see the latest addition of treasures, mostly in different golden tones! I added some detail shots of outfits, for you to see how I styled the jewelry! =)
Found this paisley printed shirt at a second hand shop! It was love at first sight! I loved the print (still do ;), the model and how the material becomes alive the moment you touch it. This creats a perfect flow for the sleeves and the front of the blouse, which is a bit longer than the back!
When styled with the right accessories, this blouse gives the perfect bohemian-chic /hippie /gypsy vibe in an outfit! Just what I was looking for!
"For myself I hold no preferences among flowers, so long as they are wild, free, spontaneous. (...) " ~Edward Abbey
- "Wild, free, spontaneous..." Those are the words I want to use to describe my summer when it's over! I've never been a planner when it comes to vacations. I like it better when you let go and allow yourself to be more spontaneous and dare to try new things. It's always so much fun, and that is how memories are created ;) !
Another thing I'm not going to leave my house without this summer (allowing myself to exaggerate a bit ;) is a flower crown! I want them in all different shapes and sizes, and with all kinds of flowers. I got this one at Bik Bok. Love the white flowers/ green leaves mix, it's as if it is made out of real, wild flowers!

new lace&bell-sleeved blouse from Madlady.se; new belt from Second Hand and the headband is from H&M
Fell in love with this blouse (or tunic if you prefer) the moment I spotted it at Madlady.se! Must admit that I fell for the bell-sleeves mostly and I couldn't be more satisfied with this purchase!
I found the belt at a second hand shop in which I walked completely at random. Fell for it immediately, love the "gypsy" vibe I get from it!
The other day, me and the b'friend went to our favorite shop in Gothenburg, called Regenbågen or The Rainbow, where they sell everything from crystals to dreamcatchers, Tarot cards, meditating books etc. We love going there and exploring their sortiment with every visit! This time we went "crystal hunting" and we came home with smiles on our faces!
These are two of the crystals I got for me; a rose quartz and a clear, two-ended quartz.
When you ask nicely, wonders happen! =) I asked my b'friend to help me make to crystals into jewellery and here is the result! The rose quartz is on the ring and the clear quartz is the pendant!
My love for silver is endless....I can never have too many silver rings, bracelets or necklaces! And silver rings are such jewellery that I could wear every day....A completletion of my hands.
I've been on a (read THE) search to find a maxi skirt with the perfect print, mesh of colors and flow! By complete accident, I surfed into Halens.se and found this beauty! For a great price i got the perfect summer skirt!
I'm completely in love with the paisley print, the mix of colors is great since it makes it wearable during autumn season as well!
On the photos above you can hopefully see the perfect flow of the skirt, as well as a sneek peak from an outfit to come! Stay tuned! <3
Here comes a closer view of my new jeans that you saw me wearing here! It was love at first sight! I love the pattern and the mix of colors is amazing, making the jeans perfect for whatever occasion, weather or mood!
I'm completely in love with my new fringe boots from Ellos.se! They remind me of Minnetonkas, but with an extra touch...the beads on the knotted part on the behind! A real suprise factor, which I like!
I see us together in some great adventures this summer! Can't wait! =)
I love coins as a part of jewellery or different accessories, so when I saw this necklace at Indiska it was a clear purchase! It has an ethnic vibe to it that I absolutely love including in my outfits. It is the perfect addition if you want to add that "rich-hippi" or "boho.lux" feel to your outfit!
