To all the mothers out there

Well just repeating what has been said over and over again: Our moms are truly special and awesome! Telling them we love them just never gets old, does it?:)

Little dragon

I love the melodic music and the artistic video, I hope you like it just as much as I do! Have a great weekend! Love, Frieda:)

And it´s different in print

I love books. Yes, of course for their content, but also for their feeling! If you ever laid finger on a good book and could not let go of it, always keeping it close, letting your hands go through it over and over again, you have probably experienced the feeling I am talking about. It is that feeling that makes me return to old-fashion books. Despite the technological advances which I like to use on a daily basis, you know such as this blog. I love all those other bloggers I follow daily, I also enjoy some online books and libraries, as it is just for their content, but after a long day all I want is to come back to the welcoming feeling of a book. It is familiar, it is close, it is personal.  Even though I like to think that this feeling just came out of nowhere, when I was thinking about it I couldn´t help but notice that I might have a connection to this feeling of a different sort. So, I think that maybe my love for the printed comes from me growing up in the city where printing was first invented, or at least movable letters were. But no matter how I came to feel the way I do about the printed word I am happy about it and to share this with you and all my future followers I added this cute button on the side bar of my blog, to remind everyone that while it is ok and necessary at some times to use online media etc. for their extended content they will never out-model an old-fashioned book in the feeling they are able to create! 

Like a sun beam

Shirt: H&M/ Shorts: Please/ Neclace: Forever 21/ Flower band: Yves Rocher/ Rings: Vintage

When I came home today the light outside was just perfect, so I decided to grap this yellow band throw on my new yellow shirt and go out dancing in the fading sun under a perfectly blue sky. I don´t look my best after a long day, but everything else was just so perfect I couln´t resist taking some shots:)
Hearing that yellow would be the color of the season, I wasn´t too happy at first. Mostly because I did not have a clue how to wear and combine it, but now that I actually own a couple items in the trend color I start to understand why so many designers liked the color- It is an instant feel-better color! Have you tried wearing yellow yet? Well if you haven´t you should, because it actually brightens  your day, just like the touch of the first sun beam.

White meets vintage

Shirt: Mossimo Supply/ Top: All Star/ Pants: Tally Weijl/Trench coat: Forever 21/ Neclace: H&M/ Shoes: Dexter/ Bag & Rings: Vintage

Today was a good day. It is just as simple as that. I went out for brunch with some friends, met my sister for lunch and picture taking and went to class later today. So since today was just as simple as good I think my outfit matched it just right.
 I am always a little careful when it comes to white pants. They are a risk to be taken, since they get dirty quickly and you might look heavier than you actually are:) Personally, I have a third reason that keeps me from white pants a lot: It seems too clean ... I know that contradicts the point before about getting them dirty, but I actually mean something else. Because I enjoy Vintage clothing and bright colors so much the simple chic of a white pair of pants sometimes is a little overwhelming. To avoid that problem I paired mine with some colorful and vintage accessories and a wide lace shirt. The flat shoes were chosen out of pure comfort for my feet. High heels might look nice on a picture, but are truly the wrong kind of footwear for running around campus:) So, I think that my outfit was just right for today: easy, clean, comfy, with just the right bit of color and vintage to make it more "me"!

Impressions of my day

easy breakfast/ some pansies/ thoughtful quote on a tea bag/ tulips/ first pair of summer shoes

Since I have been talking about summer and spring a lot lately, and because today was an especially nice day I thought it time to show you what has been on my mind lately. So, as you might have noticed before I love flowers! I also enjoy shoes...very much, even more so if they are the first open toed shoes after a long winter! But the most inspiring was actually the little quote above. It really is true, sometimes good things come to you the most unexpected way.
I was not in the best mood when entering the cafe, loaden with work to do and with little time on my hands, getting some tea is probably the best thing you can do. So I sat down and turned the little tag, and there it was: a little note that reminded me to take in the season and the moment, because they won´t come back in the same matter. After reading this, and remembering the other works of this amazing writer I felt like sharing some of this season´s gifts and pleasures with you. Go on out there enjoying the fruit of the season, and maybe you want to do so in the first pair of unpacked shoes, getting them all ready for summer to really get going!

Art or Commercial??

I don´t think that is even a question after watching this! Well done is all I want to say. This video is so artistically done that I honestly do not mind watching it as a commercial! That is saying something, because I am not a big fan of commercials in general, but if it is combined clevely and thoughtful and therefore it becomes a piece of art...well, then it is a different story:) Anyways, I hope you enjoy this little vid of glam as much as I did!
