Mad Men Again




So here’s the 5 euro skirt I told you about! I can’t get over how amazing second hand stores are. Skirts like these are being sold at Mango and Zara at 40-50-60 euro, how ridiculous is that? And it’s wool and warm and it has lots of fabric so it drapes nicely and I love it to bits! I paired it with some lace tights because the skirt is warm enough as it is, and because I love the juxtaposition of the heavy wool against the delicate lace. Oh, and here’s my New Look cable knit sweater! I have been searching high and low for cropped sweaters to wear with high waisted longer length skirts, but I’ve only found a couple of pieces that sort of satisfy my need. This is one of them. I had been eyeing it online for weeks, but it was quite expensive and not even available in my size. Then I wandered into New Look after class and they were having knitwear sales, and this sweater was on sale and in my size! So yeah, they tricked me into buying more stuff again. I’m such an easy victim. Anyway, I’m glad I bought it because it is pretty much perfect. Warm and cute and short and white. I love white because it looks more interesting than black, and it just looks great on me. Lol :D
bright red lips always make me feel so sexy


It almost looks like summer in my garden, doesn’t it? We have these weird bushes that are in bloom right now, despite the temperatures being barely higher than 0°C. I love those rare days in the colder seasons when the sun comes out. I don’t mind the cold THAT much, but I hate having to miss the sun for such a long period of time. I don’t know how things are where you live, but over here it’s cloudy like 90% of the time in fall and winter and it sucks.

My boyfriend just bought the new Monster Magnet cd and we’re both sort of disappointed that the days of really great music still seem to be behind them. They have that older rocker syndrome, when all bands start to sound like U2. I hate U2.

I’ll link you some songs. If you like stoner rock and hard rock, you might like Monster Magnet



Gravity Well is the sexiest song I know.




this is just a perfect song for blasting on your car radio REAL loud and obnoxiously bang your head to



and this one is great to take drugs to, I guess. I'm not a big fan of drugs myself, but it still gets you in that contemplative mindset. I love how their lyrics are always a lot more "intelligent" than you might expect from rockers.

this is one of my fave's from the new album:


Dave has gotten all kinds of bloaty :( he was never a looker, but he used to be hot!



 in a creepy kind of way. I have this thing for visible nostrils.  No wonder I love Kevin Bacon

nostrils are a very underestimated sexy feature!

  1. The polka dots and check go so well together, it isn't a combination you would think would work but it looks great.

    Can't agree with you on Kevin Bacon, hehe.
