Outdoor wardrobe staples!

Well, I DREAM of summer. But maybe I should get back to reality for a while....... It is still very much winter where I live. Very much..... So while I dream of summer dresses, oxfords, ballet flats, shorts and bathing suits. That is not what I am wearing. This is what I am wearing.


My trusty, toasty Shepherd boots that once had the colour honey, nowadays they are more greyish...


My green boots from Lacoste.


My wonderfully soft, huge (!) scarf from Atlas Design. It has a beautiful paisley pattern that doesn't really come out in this picture.


This hat that my mum knitted.


Here's an outfit I have found myself in often lately. The cloche hat I bought years ago when I was a student. The scarf is made by a women's project in Kenya, it was a gift from a friend that grew up in Nairobi. The leather jacket is my mother in law's that she bought in the seventies.

I think I am gonna have to ask my man to take some pictures.... It is hard taking pictures of yourself. My arm is only so long!

Dior's new New Look

John Galliano has NAILED it!!! I am in loooove!
Dior's spring 2010 haute couture collection is the perfect combination of history, fashion now, feminity, fierceness and sexy. The silhouette is clearly Christian Dior New Look. Inspiration for the looks seems to have been found at the Ascot and a weekend of hunting at an english castle. Some of the looks are for haute couture fox hunting and some are made for drinking afternoon tea after the Ascot horse races.






And the accessories!







The shoes are FABULOUS!! And the long gloves, the HUGE jewellry and the HATS!

And my trademark look exaggerated! The bun!




And the evening gowns!!!! Every single one is beautiful!
