eighteen hundred ninety-six

I've been back for almost a week now from my Scandinavian holiday, and I miss it so much! I made these photos on the porch of the neighbouring house in Sweden, which, judging by the sign over the door, dates from 1896. It's dangerously - but also beautifully - falling apart because the owners haven't taken proper care of it, which is a shame but also gives the house a sort of gothic appearance. At one time there was a thunderstorm going on in the evening, and you can probably imagine how spooky the house looked then!

I'm wearing a new skirt, from a shop called The Darling, in the Runstraat in Amsterdam. It's one of my favourite shops - they sell homemade cupcakes and dreamy, very affordable clothes (both vintage and new). It's like a candy shop that sells clothes, with a very girly and cute interior. Be sure to visit it if you're in Amsterdam! I'm also wearing my bowler hat from London and a dress with lace parts, from H&M.

  4. I love the skirt! So cute!
    The house is beautiful. I hate when people don't take care of older house because those are my favorites. They have so much history behind them.
