Commes des Garcons

I haven't been a huge fan of H&M's recent designer campaigns, this one though I find interesting. Commes des Garcons' collection for H&M is truly tastefull. Haven't had a look at it until today, since every collection I have seen so far of H&M's designer campaigns have been hidious, but I really like what I see this time. Would have loved the trenchcoat and any of the jackets.

Frost

Two of my favorite things in nature are dew and frost. This morning, as I was going back to Borås from my hometown Alingsås after celebrating my younger brother's birthday, there were frost everywhere. It is such a beautiful thing making the whole world look sparkling and delicate. And so now it's official - the winter has come to Sweden. I am now looking forward to many walks in the beautiful winter landscape and even more cold cheeks.

Violin

When I was younger I used to play the violin. I played it for 10 years and even had music as my major in high school (or at least the equivalent to it in Sweden). Nowadays I don't play as much sadly. But even if I rarely pick it up anymore, the few times I do it makes me feel alive. It's a strange feeling, like the instrument being an extended part of yourself. If you have ever played an instrument you might understand what I'm talking about. The feeling of being able to express your thoughts trough something else than your mouth. All of these feelings together with the fact that a violin is a beautiful instruments always gives me cravings when I see one for sale. I want to pick it up and feel the wood and see the beautiful handicraft. If I only had 10 000 SEK on my bank account...

Every morning I wake up to watch you eat

On my way to work. They rang one hour ago needing help. Hope you'll all have a nice cosy evening. Looking forward to a cup of tea and another episode of True Blood when I get home.

Vampires

The new hot thing this autumn is vampires. They are everywhere. There are at least two Swedish movies running on the cinemas. I have been a bit suspicious, thinking I probably would not like it. Surely I liked Buffy the vampire slayer when I was younger, but that was a while ago and things have changed. Yesterday though I was talking to my friend, Helena, about a new show called True Blood and she was really thrilled about it. So when I got home I decided to give it a shot. And I have to say I love it. It's my new obsession. Have downloaded every single episode that has been shown in USA to watch and I just can't seem to get enough. I truly recommend it.

Sonia Rykiel

When looking around on the internet I came upon a picture of this wonderful looking girl. Love the combination of her outfit together with her redish features. Once I took a closer look at it I immediately recognized the playsuit from Sonia Rykiel's SS08 collection (didn't think I was such a nerd, but now I know). When I saw it then I just though it looked kind of silly, but now that I see it worn (in the right way?) by someone who's not a super skinny model I like it a lot and almost get cravings.

Leanimal

Since I'm not in a fashionable state right now, studying for my first exam this autumn, I am instead posting a dress made by the winner of Project Runway - Leanne!
She was my favorite from day one and I guess she was many other's favorite as well since I found out today she is selling her designs at etsy and every single piece is sold out!
Just look at this dress and you will see what I mean...
