Hello hello!
Thought it was time to bring back the Wardrobe Classics or Garderobsklassiker, as I've called it originally.
This time I'm going to tell you all about this wine red velvet jacket that I bought in a vintage shop in Camden, London, maybe 13 years ago.
It was when I lived in a little town called Midhurst for almost a year and cleaned rooms in a very old and cute hotel. Me and my friend Lisa lived and worked together and also went to London to shop a few times. On one of those trips I found this jacket and fell in love.
It's just the perfect shape and shade.

It immediately became a favourite and even though the lining has teared up a lot of times and I've had to fix it in my own, sort of not so pretty way, it's still one of the absolute best jackets in my wardrobe.
It might be in desperate need for a new lining though. And the pockets are simply two large holes. I think there might even be a chestnut lying around in the bottom lining somewhere.... It's part of the jacket now, it lives there.

I love how some things in my wardrobe just keeps on being perfect for my style. No matter how I change what I like some pieces just fit to everything. I think that must be the core of my taste.
This velvet jacket is SO Lotta Losten and it won't ever stop being just that.

Today is a foggy and grey day here in Gothenburg.
I'm having a cold but it's getting better I think. Last week I slept almost all thursday and friday and then I already felt more like myself. That was good, because we had intense theatre rehearsals all weekend. 17 hours in two days and it went really really good! Only nine days left now! So exciting!
Have you popped over to my etsy shop again lately? More and more pieces of jewelry (some completely new pieces too!) is finding their way into the new pretty shop. Don't forget that you get 20% off your purchase with the coupon code NEWANDFANCY, all through october.

This is the best season of the year. I've told you before; I LOVE autumn!
All the clothes I own are suited for autumn which means that I'm only suitably dressed for about three months a year. And that is right NOW, people!
I looked through my phone today and realised that lately I've been wearing a great variety of clothes and colours but still very typically me so lets take a look, shall we? YES!

Purple and yellow and the perfect hat.
The same hat matching my green tights this time. The skirt is probably my most worn piece of clothing right now. It has been for quite some time actually.
The oversized cardigan is turning out to be a real autumn favourite!
One day I longed for lots of colour. Vintage dress bought in a little shop in Santa Monica and the tights are from We love colors as almost all of my tights.
The cardigan again! And a favourite scarf bought in a stall in Camden when David and I were there 6 years ago.
And then we have the cape. Oh boy, this is going to be my signature piece of clothing during the colder months, thats for sure!
I've been working a lot over the weekend but I hope to blog quite a bit this week. I also got this really great idea for my etsy shop the other day and I've got plenty of work to do with that before I can show you. But SOON hopefully!
And don't forget about my huge Clearance SALE! Pop over to my shop and snatch your favourites before someone else buys them! SUPER CHEAP! Only a week left now!
Tjingeling!

Hi hi!
We are home in Gothenburg again and it's starting to feel really good after, hm, five or so hours. I always feel sad when I leave Österlen but the long drive home is a good way to make me long for our apartment.
And now we know how it feels to be married in Gothenburg too!
It's really great to be back home again actually and the autumn air is definitely breezing in right as we speak, and that is a GOOD thing. Gosh, I love autumn. I feel so energized!
Well, this was a lot of babbling for what was supposed to be a non babbling post.
Here's a Two Two Two for you:

Here's a Two Two Two for you:
Two dramatic skies:
One that comes with angel choir sound and one that looks rather sinister over "our" tree.

Two date nights with David:
One from a few days before we got married and one from our little honeymoon a few days after we got married.

Two of me:
One under our tree wearing a vintage skirt, my wedding pocket watch and a jacket i bought really cheap at T.K Max in Glasgow and one balancing on wobbly stones wearing my latest thrift find, the over sized cardigan.

And here's another little text in swedish. About autumn arriving.
Har morgonkaffet i handen när jag ser höstens första solstrålar genom fönsterrutan och jag drabbas av en kombination av lycka och innerlig längtan.
För sådan är lyckan; en enorm längtan som tar upp all plats i bröstet.
Längtansmålet, det väntansvärda, är fyllt av saker jag vill mest av allt, sådant jag hoppas på, det jag önskar.
Känslor så starkt sammanflätade att de inte riktigt går att skilja åt. Och varför ens försöka?
Duschar och tänker att jag är så lycklig nu. Just nu är jag så obeskrivligt lycklig. Det har med här:et och nu:et att göra, tänker jag.
Min man som tvättar håret bredvid mig och höstsolen som letat sig in bakom duschdraperiet.
Doften av löv som ännu inte nuddat marken tränger genom kvisthålen i taket, lugnet i luften som inte hunnit få upp farten igen efter sommaren.
Höstens första solstrålar drabbade mig idag och inget så trivialt som husväggar kan hålla ljuset borta.

You can read it google translated here. It works quite nicely today, if somewhat twisted in time and space.
Tjingeling for now!

Hi!
These past weeks have been so weird. We have lots to do before the wedding (12 days left, eeeep!) and we're busy (but not stressed, luckily). It's a fun time: Planning, longing, making lists and then it's the rest of life happening as well.
I STILL have at least three big posts to blog but I just can't seem to get the time to edit all those photos so you'll have to be patient with me. And hopefully I will have the time and wifi to show you some of the wedding fun that will be happening soon.
Until then, here's a Two Two Two for you!

Two skies right outside our window.
One in dark pink and blues and one in a sort of apricot fluff.
Both of them seem to be taken straight out of The Neverending Story.

Two from last weekend when I was in my hometown Jönköping to meet with my friend Johanna who's doing my hair and makeup on the wedding. She was going to practice on my hair but it turned out she had some surprises for me as well.
One picture of me in Johannas boyfriend's russian 1940's motorcycle with sidecar. Erik is hiding behind Johanna's thumb.
That was a scary but fun ride!
And one photo of lake Vättern where we went for a swim and picnic.

Such a great jacket! Especially love the colour with that mustard scarf. Sorry to hear you've been ill, hope it's all out the way now!
You are just Beautiful, as always!
Louise:
Yes, that's my favourite colour combination! Wine red and mustard yellow, it's just looks so soft and nice! Thank you, yes I feel much better now!
StoraLisa:
DU är vacker! PUSS!
