lots of love

On Christmas day I decided to wear an old favourite - my Review dress (shown previously here and here). I try not to wear it too much so that when I finally do it feels brand new again. I was somewhat regretting my dress choice by the end of the day (it's not exactly appropriate for summer weather), but at least I felt pretty!

And here is something that I love equally as much - my new wall lamp from Ikea! Even though it makes my room glow like a red light district, I think it's so wonderful. It also happens to match my poster perfectly. I've found so many brilliant things at Ikea lately that I've decided I might as well live there.

And here is my lovely family on Christmas day!

hi there!

Hello! Welcome to all that is fine version 2.0 (probably more like version 18.0 but this one will be more permanent, I promise). Blogging is something that I love, but never have time to do. So, I've made time, because you should always make time for the things that you love. I'm still working on making everything look nice and cute, and changing the style of the blog a bit so it's generally more fun. 

As you can see, I've been playing around with some backdrop ideas because I'll also be reviving my old ebay store AND opening an etsy shop for all of the vintage clothes I've bought online that haven't fit me quite right (I'm a very wishful thinker when it comes to measurements, so there's a lot of them). Hopefully I'll have that up and running soon, but don't hold your breath because I have a hard time saying goodbye to nice clothes, even if they make me look like a mouse in a clown suit.

And here is today's outfit! Perfect for a trip to the fabric store, I think. Hopefully you'll be seeing lots of cute spots and stripes and clouds and hearts behind me in the near future.

The super cute striped top/sweater with a peter pan collar is from Modcloth. Christina Ricci wore something very similar in a photo shoot a while ago (which I fell in love with) so I was very very happy when I found this! The skirt is from Portmans, and has become my go-to blue skirt because it just goes so well with everything. I'm also wearing my usual white headband and a watch that I found in a small boutique. I'll show you it up close some time, as it's quite cool (although very badly worn).

pink, white and red

hello! god, it's been so long since i was here last. as always, i've been incredibly busy with university, work and online shopping. on top of that, my camera went funny a few months ago (the pictures are all coming out black and i'm not sure why because i never really taught myself how to use it properly in the first place), and i haven't really had time to try and fix it. i also hate hate hate the new blogger layout. it makes posting weird and difficult and just generally frustrating. but anyway, i'm back! here is what i wore to run some errands today.

the top is vintage (from etsy) and has a really nice high peter pan collar. the skirt is from asos, and can be found here. i'm also wearing my new $20 replica hermes bracelet, which is surprisingly good quality.

three tops and three skirts

here are three of the nicest ensembles i've worn this week. i love wearing separates. dresses are super nice, but it's a lot more fun to mix and match.

1. supre 2. h&m 3. op shop shirt and ebay collar

1. pret a portobello 2. zara 3. american apparel

my boyfriend's favourite

here is an outfit that i wore some time last week, but never told you about. i think i like the collar even better with this shirt! and i finally got to wear my american apparel circle skirt. i like it all very much (and so does my boyfriend).

the skirt is from american apparel, the shirt is from target and the collar is from ebay! i'm also wearing my finders keepers market bracelet.

today i went to university, because that is apparently all that i'm allowed to do these days. i wore my new peter pan collar, which arrived a few days ago. i like it very much even though it's always sliding out of place. i'm not sure about the shirt with it, either. what do you think?

afterwards, to celebrate a mini-presentation that went quite well, my boyfriend and i went on a mini-adventure. we really had no plans, but managed to make it to china town, eat some nachos and buy this amazing little card game at a second-hand store. basically, you get five cards each, and whoever can make the silliest headline wins! we could have played for hours.

i should also mention how nice my sweet friend hanna is for posting such lovely things about me on her blog today. hello to all of hanna's fine followers!

on their way

here are a few things that are on their way to me from various nice places around the world. quite an interesting assortment, i must say.

1. thigh-high sock garters from SWANclothing on etsy

2. the best striped skirt in the world from asos

3. a sweet detachable peter pan collar from a sweet ebay seller

4. a skirt i'm very excited about from american apparel. it's so nice in blue too!
