the harbor at my door, and an abundance of jackets


So far I'm quite enjoying winter! It's really, really cold and foggy outside, which wakes up some sort of grizzly bear-like winter sleep instinct in me. So I huddle up under the blankets as often as I can (preferably with a certain goodlooking blonde-haired boyfriend), go outside only if I must and in my cute but not very feminine padded parka, and put up my first Christmas decorations. Yes, I'm disgustingly homely come winter times.

During one of those rare days when the temperature outside is actually bearable, me and the previously mentioned blonde-haired boy went out into the harbor near my home (near actually means 'near' here, I can see the ships from my room) and made pictures of me in my new mid-length skirt. As you might have noticed unless you live under a rock with no internet reception, mid length is so back it might never go away any more, and I love it. So this look was inspired by the gorgeous Louis Vuitton A/W10 show (see the full show here, or head over to Selina's blog for her inspiring post on mid-lengths), but halfway through I got quite cold and put on my jacket, and then I decided to try my boy's new trenchcoat on for good measure. Here we go:

lace panel dress: h&m /// skirt: vintage (lady day) /// belt: pieces /// brogues: manfield /// blue jacket: h&m /// men's trenchcoat: zara








Here you can see where I live!
