Vintage Fashion Show

Designer Linda of O.L.D - Obviously Linda Design has a large collection of vintage clothes she takes inspiration from. And sometimes she creates fashion shows with these vintage garments, when people wants to adorn their party/event with a bit of old fashioned flair. A few weeks ago she organized one of these fashion shows, and she asked me if I wanted to be one of her models. Of course I said yes, and she put me in a gorgeous 50s dress with matching belt and shawl! It fit me perfectly, but Linda refuses to sell it to me. Outrageous!!!!! Haha! Well, here are a few pics from the show!




















The blond girl wearing the green dress in the bottom pic is Linda herself, and if you want to hire her for a vintage fashion show, or to have her design and sew something for you, you can contact her by mail: info@o.l.d.se, or visit her website or Facebook page!

Monday's school outfit

The "Monday's school outfit" post is becoming mandatory here on my little bloggywogg. So of course I can't wear jeans to my PR-class. That wouldn't be so interesting to read about, would it?! And why would I want to wear jeans anyway?...This is what I threw on this Monday:


The blouse comes from "Bettie Page Clothing". The belt is H&M, and the skirt I have sewn myself, after a pattern from the 50s.


I hope you all see how precisely I'm imitating the pose the girl on the pattern envelope is showing. I practiced a lot for this...


It's getting cold outside, and then you need a nice coat. Like this one for example! It's vintage, from the 60s, and I bought it very cheaply from my friend Charlotta. It comes from H&M, but I was a bit surprised when I found this tag on the inside of the coat:


Luhta for H&M. And I thought the collaborations between H&M and other designers was something pretty new. Well, well...

The raccoon fur I'm wearing around my neck is made out of real polyester. Fancy, right?! It has a clip on the inside at one of the ends, so it's easy to fasten around the "tail". There was a little note attached to it when I bought it, showing how you should fasten it around your neck. Beside the around-the-neck picture, there was another illustration, showing that you can also wear it around your head...


I'm not so sure about this placement though. I think I'll just stick to wearing it around my neck...

Midsummer - 2011

I had a really nice midsummer! Met some old friends - and made some new ones.

We started out with a picnic on a roof terrace.





Schnapps was of course involved - or "nubbe" as we call it here in La Suède.

Big and small, we love them all!

Then we continued the picnic in a park, where we later barbecued.


I wore a vintage 60s dress that once belonged to my mom. Now it's mine!!!


And then there was the cat Safari...
