uh huh her

See time pass

Kaviar Gauche dress

A picture taken a while ago, actually just when I recieved my camera. A new camera that is, when after too long Best Buy decided to give me a new one instead of getting the old one fixed. But well now I have it back.

The art of excessive belts

I bought this big 80's belt in a vintage shop when I was walking around on Newbury St. And it's a vintage shop, not a thrift shop. All the things there were pretty expensive and really picked with care to meet the rich taste of rich people. But this was almost affordable, and too cool to let go, I thought.

It's very big and will easily dominate an outfit. I think it looks best with more simpel things and it will be perfect for a black dress to a party.

Cherries and steam

My most recent purchase to add to my collection of dresses is this cherry dress from Urban Outfitters. I wore it to a party on Friday with the steam punk ring that had just arrived and a nail paint called thinking of blue.

Veggie Planet

Yesterday night my boyfriend and I went to Veggie Planet at Harvard Square for dinner and it was delicious! Peanut curry with broccoli on pizza and portobello mushrooms with red pepper pesto and feta on pizza. Veggie Planet is part of Cambridge Local First, a network of locally owned, independently run, businesses that share a commitment to building a strong local economy and a vibrant, distinct community. It's a vegetarian and vegan restaurant with affordable prices and a friendly and cosy environment.

A picture taken on the way there.

Water Fire

Saturday my boyfriend and I went to see Water Fire in Providence, Rhode Island.

Should I care

First picture is taken by Hanne Hjort, second is taken by Erik Tonning, both in Kongens Have in Copenhagen the day i finished my last exam.

Last days in Copenhagen

I arrived in Boston last Thursday after a way too long time of travelling due to flight delay. Before I left Denmark, I met up with my amazing friend and ex-roomie Camilla (maybeliever).

Taking a walk around Vesterbro, where Camilla lives now, and we felt like ice cream an d stopped at Paradis Is at Vesterbro Torv, where I was adventurous and tried a delicious basil ice cream.  

My next posts will probably mainly cover my experiences in the US, since I won't have much time to create and don't have a sewing machine here.

Addiction you might call it

I recently said I have a little obsession with dresses at the moment. 

I can't get enough. And I simply had to buy this one too.

It's Kate Moss for Topshop.

I love how the lace is attached to the black fabric, and there are these wonderful details: buttons on the sleeves and down the back. I have wanted to make something like this for such a long time, but just haven't gotten around to it. And I don't expect it to happen soon either, so buying this seemed like the thing to do.

A night in the light

Because of the rainy weather on yesterday, my friend and I thought we'd go to the movies instead of the festival at Vesterbro. But the beers we had with dinner changed our plans. 

I am not a great fan of taking pictures at concerts, because the flash can disturb the artist, my camera is not good enough and my skills as a photographer are not good enough. 

So no pictures of the shows we saw. 

We went without having had time to check out which bands, we wanted to see, so we just went with what our guts told us. Kinda "uh, this band has a cool name." And it was good. 

I love to be at festivals like this with a lot of unknown bands, where you can get to know new music, broaden your horizon.

Pictures of the beautiful fireworks table...

 And beer drinking me and amazing Anna looking great in red.

A couple of days of freedom

I finally finished my paper, that is due tomorrow am now ready for a couple of days in Copenhagen before I have to prepare for my oral exam. These next days there are a festival on Vesterbro, Start Festival, and that's where I'll be Thursday. Then who knows what will happen next. 

Hopefully I'll soon be able to show you some new interesting stuff from my hand. And getting that Etsy.com account made.

A little bit of narcissism

Here are a couple of pics of me with a vintage skirt used as a dress. I need to do the sewing alterations before it's really wearable though, but you can't tell on the pictures.

In the past months I have been purchasing a ton of dresses and have severel sewing plans. It seems I just can't get enough of dresses recently.

A mixture does the trick

Got back from a couples of days in Copenhagen, wich I have spent seeing a few of my friends. 

Saturday night was spent with great people watching Eurovision - Eurovision turned into a drinking game, because that is what Icelandic people do and the were an Icelandic couple present. 

I've never before cared much for this song contest filled with trivial singers and unnecesaray stage shows - It is just a little too much. I ussually don't enjoy it, 'cause I just get annoyed with what it is and what it represents of bad taste. 

Turning the absurdities into a fun and funny drinking game I can relate to, though.  Is it a slutty dress? yes, so take a sip, are there fireworks on stage? yes, so take a sip, and so on.

What really surprised me, was that Germany won. It was the song I liked the best, but the last one I expected to win. It is really unlike common Eurovision songs, both Lena's way of singing and the simplicity of the show.

I am anticipating the warmer weather promised to start from Wednesday, and when it does I wil wear this dress. It is an old dress of my mom's, wich I made a little shorter.

And why not also share with you thos necklace I just recieved from Uncommon Creatures.

Talking about absurdities earlier, I bet some will find this absurd, but this is the kind of absurdities I find interesting.

Nothing new under the blue sky

I've been spending the past days in Copenhagen seeing friends, and had also a meeting with my teacher. It seems kinda like things are on hold at the moment. Nothing much is happening and my actions primarily elvolves around reading and writing. Or at least trying not to procrastinate too much. 

But just to keep things going on the blog side of things I will post another narcissistic picture of another outfit.

Tomorrow I am off to Copenhagen again. Coffee with a friend I haven't seen for way too long, and Saturday night will be spent with classmates watching Euro Visions wich is gonna be turned into some kind of drinking game that our Icelandic freind will teach us.

Zip it up, Bow Tie

The jeans are finally done. I made them a bit shorter and slimmer and put in the zipper with a bow tie in the top. The idea with the bow tie is from a pair of vintage jeans from a friend of mine.

Here comes some pictures.

Fabricaholic

 I was wearing the dress I recently bought in Wasteland today, when my mom and I went to this huge fabric store, Stof og Stil, located in Roskilde. The purpose was to find zippers for that pair of jeans I have mentioned before. No luck. 

But I simply can't find myself in a fabric store without buying something. That is obvious if you look at the three huge moving boxes I have filled with fabric. "Uh that would make a beautiful dress. Uh that too. And that for a skirt", and so on.

So here I am again, with this white thin cotton fabric with small black dots. For a cute little dress. And the black jaquard weavered fabric for tote bags.
