The Pursuit of Happyness

So, maybe everything doesn't have to be so damn perfect all the time and maybe I don't have to please everybody. Maybe everybody doesn't have to think I'm fantastic. And I KNOW I misspelled the word happiness and you know what, I happen to be referring to the movie. How about that, suddenly it is not a misspelling but ARTISTIC FREEDOM. Niiiiceee......

It is funny how you sometimes think that you need to be perfect. Look at everybody around you! Do you admire them for their perfection? Usually it's the imperfections that I find intriguing about somebody.

And yes, I know that I have been a terrible blogger. You know why? Because I spent some time reconstructing my life. It is strange how disease can make you reevalute your life. I put my whole life on stand by. At first because I didn't have a choice. My body made the choices for me. But as I slowly got better I decided to also start slowly. I rebuilt bit by bit, carefully judging each bits value and importance before putting it back. Or choosing not to put it back.

I have now come to a point where I feel I also want to put the blog back. Fashion never left me. I have been reading every fashion magazine I could get my hands on, checked every fashion show and kept the shopping pace steady. My husband says it is an addiction. I would rather use the word passion.

And now it is my favorite season. AUTUMN/FALL. I like it because:

1. You don't need a beach body.
2. Nobody will nag you for staying in all night reading a thick fantasy novel, watching old episodes of Mythbusters or just flipping through a great magazine.
3. I have GIANT teacups which are perfect for hours of conversations with a good friend.
4. The colours are beautiful.
5. The food is good.
6. Halloween. 
7. It has a melancholic streak which is SO beautiful.


And I would love to wear this:


Chris Benz RTW A/W 2011


Alexis Mabille RTW A/W 2011


Chanel RTW A/W 2011


A Détacher RTW A/W 2011

I really don't have the budget for any of these clothes, but inspiration costs nothing!

So here are some of the things I have added to my closet:




Three pairs of shoes from Forever 21.


And this cute vintage dress.
