Gorgeous English indie rose

Daisy Lowe is one of many examples of how well dressed young people in England can be. She's what people refer to as an "it-girl". With a designer mum and a rock star dad she was born into the celebrity world. There is something with that girl that keeps me facinated and intrigued! With other girl as the Geldof sisters, Agyness Deyn and Alexa Chung, she is creating a whole new Primerose Hill gang in London. I <3>

Patti Smith at Molde Jazzfestival

I drove to Molde yesterday to attend the jazzfestival with my cousin who lives there and to see Patti Smith for the first time!!!! I've been a fan for years and I have all the albums, but it's still a nervewracking feeling to see an artist you really admire for the first time. They usually either disappoint you or make you fall in love with their music all over again! This time its was certainly love! Not only for her music but also her character. She is passionate about her music and she is passionate about the message shes sending out through her lyrics. If possible I respect the woman even more!

Ebay = treasure heaven

I try to keep myself away from ebay as much as possible as I know that everytime I log in I'll find more than 1 thing I just NEED!

Last night I bought two fab vintage dresses ( as seen in the pictures) and one vintage joy division t-shirt:D

I just discovered that "it-girl" Peaches Geldof is selling some of her dresses online atm, so if you're a size 8 with excellent taste, check it out!

I'd also advise you to go into http://www.ebay.co.uk/ Thats the british site, and were I find most of the good vintage clothes!

Annual treasure hunt

I'd love to wear this dress, but sadly it's too small...

Pretty sure they never finished this one...

Im pretty sure that jacket was my uncles. It's still hilarious:P Almost so ugly it's cool!

This dress is so short that its too short to be worn, even with model legs and tights!
I like the fabric and the pattern, but the neck is just screaming "grandma", with a little rounder and lower neck it would be a nicer summer dress.

I love houses filled with old stuff. Everytime I discover something new, even though I've been there a thousand times. My grandparents are quite organized, but they hate to throw stuff away so they put it all up in the attic. With three daughters that loved to make clothes they've got a lot of hidden treasures up there. Many who I've found, many who are yet to be discovered.
Anyway, I'm going up there this week to see if I find some new stuff. With two aunts and a mum that were practically size zero its not likely I'll find anything that fits me very well. But there's a lot of fantastic fabric and also inspiration to be found!
I'm gonna post some of the stuff I found last year. I haven't really used any of the stuff in the pictures, but I have some other stuff I found that actually fits me in my closet in England:D

Good lyrics from Thomas Dybdahl

"John Wayne"
don't dream what others do, don't tell me you're in dreaming too cause shit aint always how you planned it, how you planned to break on trough that aint you
life takes a different turn, it may feel like your average crash & burn cause shit aint always how you planned it, how you planned to break on trough and it aint always how you'd live your life if you could live your life again
in time you'll find someone a way to better yourself, a plan to break on through and in time you'll find someone to guide you through, a guidance that'll do
the man says it's gonna be all right cause day by day it gets better (in time) yes it's gonna be all right cause day by day it gets better (in time) day by day leave your worries behind take the word of someone loving you
It's all in place don't dream what others do, don't tell me you're in dreaming too cause shit aint always how you planned it, how you planned to break on trough that aint you
in time you'll find someone a way to better yourself, a plan to break on through and in time you'll find someone to guide you through, a guidance that'll do and you'll find it's exactly how you'd live your life if you could live your life again cause you found a friend

A weekend off from eternal boredom

I went to Trondheim this weekend to visit some of my very best friends! I dunno why I ever thought it was a boring place, maybe because everyone from my town moves there for uni?! Anyway, it always surprises me how nice it actually is to be there. I like the people and the city in itself.
