Birds and Plaid



Hi guys! This is the outfit I wore yesterday. Another seventies inspired ensemble. One of my favorite colorcombinations is anything in the red-orange-brown family with anything in the blue family, warm+cool seems to work so well! I love how sophisticated yet vibrant this pairing looks. Beats colorblocking if you ask me! Added the turqoise for a bit of extra color and detail.

I'm enjoying a calm night without sevenhundred deadlines to finish. I've postponed all the things I actually NEED to do to tomorrow, because sometimes you just need to give in to your need for NO speed. I have a huge headache because my period cramps always turn into a headache in the evenings (I guess I'm lucky like that), and I'm watching Shutter Island again. Such a good movie. Leo Dicaprio's best performance to date if you ask me, he gives us so much restrained emotion without overdoing it like he sometimes does in his other roles, nor does he underdeliver. So believable, so true to life. And I'm not even raving about the gorgeous cinematography and the haunting story yet! A total recommendation, guys.


He always reminds me of my brother, they are basically lookalikes.

blouse: Zara
necklace: H&M
skirt: T2 vintage
clogs: New Look
ring: Alex Monroe

PS: just checked out the River Island website and I wish I hadn't! How amazing and irresistible is this dress?? I simply will not be able to resist it! Sure hope our shop will stock it...


GAH! Also eyeing this beauty:



Me, a thing for stripes? NO WAY!

  4. Your outfit is so pretty, I love the bird print on your blouse, too cute, and the ruffles on it :)

    I love the 70's vibe it has, because I have always been in love with that time - the 70's, and well, the 60's too haha. Flare pants/jeans are my weakness.

    The necklace is super cool!

  8. I love the way you mixed these prints!! :)
    That movie has the most amazing cinematography of any of Scorsese's films, and that's saying a lot. Love it!

  9. You mixed together my two favorite things: novelty prints & plaid! Love the turquoise necklace too, I can't get enough of Southwestern-inspired pieces lately.

    I'd been meaning to see Shutter Island and will have to see if I can get it from Netflix soon.

  16. i always watch movies for the ends! love happy ends! at one point i realized the movie was going to end how it ended (oh what a sentence). and i almost chocked because now i had to start thinking about the movie, you know a movie that is on your mind for a day or two. still haven't figured it out yet, maybe that is the idea..... maybe we can discuss it some day

    anyway, so in love with that amazing blouse, it is so so perfect because of the fabric and the movement, love the combination with the gorgeous necklace

  19. we need a picture of your bro so we can see the similarities ;)
    Love this look, the skirt is amazing, the cut, the shape, the detail.
    Shutter Island is an intense film, and that scene you feature in the pics here is sublime, very beautiful. The film manages to keep a very powerful atmosphere throughout which is something not a lot of directors get right, the mood the film starts with, goes on until the end.
