" A combination of blue and a small amount of yellow, it fits in on the color scale between green and blue. It radiates the peace, calm and tranquility of blue and the balance and growth of green with the uplifting energy of yellow.This is a color that recharges our spirits during times of mental stress and tiredness, alleviating feelings of loneliness. You only have to focus on the color turquoise, whether on a wall or clothing and you feel instant calm and gentle invigoration, ready to face the world again! "

" Ah, summer, what power you have, to make us suffer and like it !"
~ Russell Baker
I'm a real summer child! I love summer and everything that comes with it. The long days and the long nights that turn into days, the delicious fruits, the road trips and vacations, being wild and free...and the heat...Ah, the heat - I love warm weather! I've always said that I'd rather have extreme heat than extreme cold...rather have less clothes than layers of clothes on me, haha.
The crisp air is slowly creeping in on us, here in Sweden and I can feel the last breath of summer slowly fading away.
~This is my Ode to summer!

"Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street...Fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening."
~ Coco Chanel
Fringe and feathers, crystals and sunflowers, dreamcatchers, paisley print bell-bottoms and cowboy boots. Overload of jewellery...you can never have enough necklaces and rings, and lately I've become obsessed with handpieces as well. Just pile it on - but do it with flavor!
This wish-outfit-flat-layout couldn't be more me! It has all the elements that describe who I am and my style. Boho-chic, with hippie vibes, some gypsy spirit and (always) rock'n roll!

This one is for those hot, summer days, when you're out and about in the city, weather is shopping time, a coffee date with your friends or a picknick in the park! A flowy top that leaves the skin to breathe matched with high-waisted, denim shorts - my "go-to" item every summer! Some accessories, comfortable shoes, a bag and you are ready to go!
~White is perfect during the sunny days, since it reflects the sunrays and you don't get as warm ;) On top of it, white + brown is my favorite color combination during summer! =)

Every summer has a story they say, and I have but to agree! Even though I try to "spice it up" a bit, every summer cannot pass without live gigs and after parties with great people and music until dawn! Those are the nights that we continue the live gig long after it has officially ended! Aw! I look forward for nights that turn into days, even this summer! ;)
~Black and brown is a perfect combination for nights like these (you don't have to care for stains from the crowd ;). I'd go for a black, crochet dress as a base and then use brown accessories, don't forget the bag, you'll need a place to put your accessories at! Boots is always a choise in my book, but if you going to spend most of your night standing up - you need to do it in comfortable shoes! ;)

"It is not while beauty and youth are thine own,
And thy cheeks unprofaned by a tear,
That the fervor and faith of a soul may be known,
To which time will but make thee more dear!
Oh the heart that has truly loved never forgets,
But as truly loves on to the close,
As the sunflower turns to her god when he sets
The same look which she turned when he rose!"
~ Thomas Moore
Sunflowers are my favorite flowers! Love how big and bright they are, how my face lites up whenever I see one, or a whole filed for that matter! =)
It is more than obvious where these happy flowers have got their name from and while putting this outfit together I thought of the Sun as a female...Goddes of the Sun, from the Sun, the Sun herself! Embelished with the flowers that follow her every step and protected by her armour of bracelets, necklaces and rings with crystals and precious gem-stones...all in different tones and shades of gold. She stands tall, she stands firm, reflecting the full force of the Sun's energy.

Posted this "flat layout outfit" last year in july (here), the post being titled "Summer Essentials". I'm posting it now again, since these ARE my summer essentials. Eventhough, I like wearing dresses, skirts, prints....my "go to" items, every summer is a pair of denim, cut-out shorts, a crop top (this is where the variation comes, but I prefer, white/black lace/crochet or a cool, printed top), pair of minnetonkas or other booties, a fringe bag and lots and lots of jewellery (as always ;)...Hope summer comes quick enough, because I can't wait to stroll around town, dressed like this!
So, tell me about your sumer essentials! Are you a short or skirt kind of a girl?!? What are you "go to" items for this summer ?

Inspired by Free People's latest catalogue (see here), I pulled together an outfit that I see myself wearing this summer. The dress is so flowy and light which makes it the perfect piece to wear while taking a walk on the beach, feeling the warm sand between my toes, the wind in my hair and the sound of the ocean! This all topped off with a Pina Colada in one hand and my love in the other!

I love turquoise. It's a color I don't usually blend into my clothing, but my jewelry and the small enterior design pieces at home....are an "overflow" of turquoise! Here is an "at the beach vs. under the sea" inspired outfit! What do you think ?!?

My favourite thing about summer are all the roadtrips we do! Love sitting in the car, having the windows down so that the wind sweeps through the hair, listen to our favourite album from Led Zeppelin and swallowing the highway to our next destination!
