#Novelty Jewlery -again#

Somehow I managed to delete this post when I was cleaning up in my archive.
And this is one of my favourites becuase of the great details in the jewlery,
therefore; I did a rewrite.

Just over a year ago I invested on some novelty jewlery made by ND! Design. I then promised to take photos of some of the jewleryt with a gorgeous dress of mine purchased at O'lala.

Well...I did not make it that far...until now. So here it goes...this is me being vintageBeautycountry ;-)

Let's start with the accessories today :-)

Dress from Saint Tropez

Knitting pattern from 1947 (!)

MIU MIU spectator pumps

#Eating biscotties in Acne AGATE#

So,

I decided to make some of my oh so very good biscotties to my mother in law.

Beacuse I know she likes them...and she's a sweetie and she totally deserves it! :-)

When it comes to our kitchen it is American Diner style (retro from the 50's and 60's) and I have a weakness for antiques.

We have lots of funny useless and usefull stuff with a long history :-)

Therefore I got inspired by Anne Taintor and dressed up for some real home baking.

I made this apron all by myself when I was 11 years old :-)

And while all other blogs show picures of making the food, how it looks before you eat it and the plate after you have eaten it...

You will only see the end result like this:

And me actually eating my good stuff! :D

Ingredients that I use:

150g coarsely chopped almonds

100g raisins

2 teaspoons cinnamon

100g butter

1.5dl sugar

2 tablespoons vanilla extract

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 egg

3.5dl flour.

And then you can google how to do it since this is a fashion blog!! ;-)

Can I have a taste, pretty please??

Pretty, pretty, pretty please???

mh mh

...think she will be happy???

Shoes are Acnes most genius creatings;

Earrings bought at a fleemarked in Oslo - Grünerløkka

#Different kinds of Paradise#

As you probably have noticed...I live with a dog ;-)

I also live with a great boyfriend.

And all 3 of us have our dirfferent definitions of what being in Paradise means.

The Dog:

This is one heck of a bone considering that his head is the same size as my own :D

The demolition dog

The Boyfriend:

Look at this room, readers. He is one lucky guy! ;-) Here he can play his favourite game, Halo, while he admires his collection of skateboards.

Left wall; SHIT and Big Mess.

Right wall; Alva and Powell Peralta

Close up of the Big Mess skateboards

Here is a close up over his biggest triumphs :-)

Old School Skateboards - NOS

To the left is my favourite, Powell Peralta Ripper, and then he has 3 pieces of Tony Hawk Chicken Skull :-)

The Queen (humhum ;-)):

Acne Hydro

A very impulsive buy, but they are now my newest obsession :-)

What is your kind of Paradise?

#Burberry Prorsum coat#

In this post the shoes are not in the spotlight ;-)

The leading role here is my s*t*u*n*n*i*n*g Burberry Prorsum wool coat. Usually I don't spend a lot of money on my outwear, but this winter I have given priority to this category as the winters is getting colder and colder. Aaaaaand if I want to look a bit stylish I need some new cool outwear.

Superficial and vain...?

Noooooooo ;-)))

Take a look at the AAAHAAMAAZING details...
