So, I'm Swedish (as if you didn't already know), and I feel like honoring my heritage.
I love Swedish style because deep down, beneath all my feathers, fur and velvet I'm a minimalist. That's what the Scandinavian aesthetic is all about.
Black and White ensemble (probably can't be worn in the cold-as-shit-ninety-percent-of-the-time Scandinavian climate.)
Mayla
I love, love, love black on beige.
Tiger of Sweden
I am so effing glad I bought that leather shirt at the end of last year.
Acne
Remember, less is more. Unless we're talking about men...
Adjö, Sweedes!
Although it probably isn't the most feminist piece of television out there, I love Mad Men.
I think I may love Mad Men less for the screwed up personalities of the characters, and more for the fashion in the show.
Which is why I am pleased as punch to share the Mad Men collection at Banana Republic with all my readers.

Personally, I love the sunglasses, the red lipstick, the leopard bag, the leopard coat and the cigarette pants. And, although I have been known to wear some '50's style house-wifey dresses, there is no way in hell I'm going to be waiting at home and having dinner on the table at five for any man.
So don't even think about it.
...that they finally made a barbie doll of me.
Hello Readers!
I know I've been disappointing with my lack of posts, but I'm here to say that my brief, and by brief I mean four month, hiatus is over.
And now, for a list of stuff I feel the need to buy for fall.
First, a watch, you know, the kind you tell time with.
I like this one, because its pretty timeless. I already have a leather strap, so what I need now is a link one. And, I think that the metal ones are so.....blah.
Since I go to school where the weather is...less than spectacular, I also need a raincoat. My lovely mother got me this red one from Michael Kors.
Flashy.
Finally, the big thing that I'm trying to invest in, is a cape-style one shoulder dress. This will release my inner superhero.
This one, I've tried on in red. Its pretty bossy. I can imagine myself opening the door to my fancy pants house with a HUGE cocktail in my hand. Fantasize much?
Remember, if you want to but these items A.K.A. Copy me just clicky clicky on the photo....
First of all, my sincerest apologies. I have been working like a dog hard these past few days, as it is the finals season at this fancypants liberal arts college. You know, the time when all of your work gets dumped on you at once.
Anyways...
...a girl still has time to dream. And if I could wear whatever the hell I wanted today, it would be this little ensemble.
I think this would look pretty bossy. Which it had better, because this look would cost someone the GRAND total of...
$7315
Or, almost half a year's rent. This is why I don't shop for real real.
But, keep it real real folks.
Some of you who know me must know about my sojourns into Africa, the motherland of civilization. (Those of you laughing at me now can google that shit) But anyway, I bought a bunch of stuff in Cape Town, thinking I would really stand out from the crowd and be one of those hip travelers.
Damn
Africa is cool now. Thanks Vogue, for ruining my tiny speck of individuality. I can, however regain my coolness by showing my readers cool African-inspired goods to shop for.
Lets start out with something predictable, like these cool bangles from some rando on Etsy. Like them? Buy those suckers here.
Sorry for the quality of the photo, but these pants are perfect for my not-so-pretty days. Oh, and they're from Chico's which totally add the mom factor in as well!
And to top it all off, a high-waisted, foopa-highlighting bikini in a bossy African Print. This can be found at bantuwax.com
I know I'm a douche for not writing in a week. I didn't even have a ton of work to use as an excuse. Instead I was having my very own lost week you know, like a big party week. I was going to write my newest blog post about my dream concert, Coachella, which was this past weekend. But, seeing as like 99% of the bloggers and other fashion sources wrote about the same shit, I'm going to one-up them.
Since I'm so sassy, I'm going to cover The Burning Man Festival instead.
Is the Burning Man Festival a place to see and be seen by all sorts of cool people. Hells no. But, this is a place out in the desert where people having a mind-blowingly good time. DRUGS
So here's some cute little gems for one of the wildest conerts out there. If you ever attend Burning Man, I'm sure you'll be running around naked rather than judging everyone's ensembles but hey, thats just my opinion.
Cupcakes are so hot right now
I spy a BOWTIE
I'm a pretty big fan of Avatar, too.
