1st advent

i hope everyone is doing well! last sunday, my friend kjetil and i went to maja and emil's flat for a small party to celebrate the first of advent. we drank glögg and ate swedish sweets. each year, they come out with a different flavor in sweden for glögg. last year's was saffron glögg, which maja was able to buy from ikea. it was so sweet. i actually like it much better than the glühwein, however in principle, they are pretty much the same thing. emil also had us play this really entertaining game he and a few of his friends invented. you take a cardboard box, like a cereal box, and put it on the ground. each player has to try to pick up the box with their mouth, hands behind their backs. the catch is that you cannot let you knees touch the ground! and once everyone has a turn, the box is cut shorter and shorter until it is just a small square on the ground. i'll be playing this game at my christmas party this year for sure! speaking of christmas, i really need to get to decorating. tomorrow my friend krutsch and i are going to go to the store to pick me up a tree. i can't wait to decorate it. expect pictures, for sure :)

little girl goth

whether this means in an ivy preppy direction with a cable knit sweater and collared blouse underneath, a bit of a tomboy preppy look, a private school upper east side blairesque style, japanese school girl influenced, or a bit of a gothic wednesday addams looks, my biggest influence when it comes to my fashion choices lately has been inspiration from school girl style. (of course not every outfit of mine is so inspired, but most of them do include some schoolgirlesque element.) i'll be posting all of my "schoolgirl inspired" styles, first sharing with you some of my favorite darker more gothic inspired school girl inspirations as i am extremely into what i would call a gothicy if-wednesday-addams-were-a-japanese-school-girl. think, blacks whites, collared shirts and dresses (pointed or rounded), tiny gothic elements, creepers, and baby pinks with black. (some images are repeats! because i just love them so much) this isn't your typical catholic school girl look, or industrial goth look, it's just a bit gothic and school girl inspired. it's feminine, but just a little bit creepy.

i just received a surprise package from amazon.de from my mother (who lives in america). i was so touched and it made my heart warm to receive it! not only was i amazingly happy because i love audrey hepburn, but it was such a thoughtful gift, since my mother took the time to send me something and it was something that is personal to me and my interests.
