The Perfect Sweater

I have been on the hunt for the perfect norwegian sweater quite for a while now, so I was pretty delighted when I found out about these beautiful sweaters by the german label evaw-wave, while I was reading a local magazine. It seems that this is their first winter collection which is called Oslo-Go-Slow and before they have been doing mainly bathing and swimwear. Actually, I do like the winter collection much better, maybe because I only go swimming like once in a year or maybe because I always had a thing for deers. I think I'm gonna get the orange sweater, I really like that it is so long, so it can be also worn as a dress.

Grumpy

Today we collected my vintage Salvatore Ferragamo shoes, that I got from ebay, from the customs duty office. I didn't have to pay anything, but unfortunately the shoes don't fit. They are marked a US size 7, but the seller said they would fit like an 8. I guess not so. So I think I'm going to put these up on Ebay again, but still I'm a little bit grumpy now.

Crochet Dress

I got this crochet dress on Ebay a while ago and today it arrived in the mail. It's amazing, because it seems to be all handmade it must have been a lot of work to make it. And I got it for only 10€. It also comes with a little jacket. The strangest thing is, the seller sold it as a dress from the 70ies, but it appears to be much older, like from the 20ies, because it is so fragile, but I don't know exactly, it has an insewn slip underneath which seems to be a polyblend. I don't know since when this material was made. The 50ies I think. Anyhow this is a very beautiful dress for spring.

Alex & Chloe

I love the necklaces of Alex and Chloe, especially the one with the octopus. It also comes as a brooch. This is something I might really want to get as a Christmas present, so I guess I have to spread the word... It would give rather simple dresses, blouses or T-Shirts this kind of odd look, that I love. You can buy these necklaces at their online shop here.

Threadless Sale

Threadless have a large holiday sale going on, that means every T-shirt costs only 10$. I bought myself the foxy T-shirt and also got one for my brother. It is called "What would McGyver do?" and I bought it because he was such a huge fan of that series back in the 80ies when he was little. The sale ends on December 16th.

The Pink scarf

Ever since I have seen this picture of Tracy Tylor on The Sartorialist, I wanted to have a pink scarf just like hers. So I turned myself to Ebay and looked out for warm and cosy pashmina scarves but sadly I forgot to place my bid for the second time right now. I didn't go so much for the real thing, but a mixture of cashmere and silk would have been just fine for me. So now I'll have to wait until new ones are listed. Bold pink is rather rare I guess.

Presents for myself

Once again H&M have their holiday special offers this year. Although I find it kind of ridiculous to shop for Christmas presents in the middle of november I thought it was not so ridiculous to get something for me. So I bought myself this sequin skirt for 9.99€ and also the sequin dress for 19.99€:




And since I'm already quite into this, I couldn't keep myself from looking what they will have to offer during the next weeks, so this is, what I'll probably 
end up with:

This black or grey lurex dress for 9.90€ on november 22:




This little cute fake fur jacket at the price of 14,90€ on november 29. Although I'm wondering about how it will look like in real life since it is so cheap:



And finally another lurex dress for 9.90€ at december 20:
