Mod Dolly in a Sailor Dress

This dress kindly sent to me by Mod Dolly is beyond adorable. Not only is it the perfect red, it features little bows all over and has the best sailor-esque collar (and you all know how much of a sucker I am for an adorable collar). It’s the perfect picnic dress - especially if your picnic was held right beside some sailing docks. wearing dress - c/o Moddolly sweater clips - DIY hat - c/o Wholesale bag - vintage socks - Tutuanna I should also explain why I've been a while without posting (I don't know why I feel guilty for not blogging sooner, but, I do. Which is probably ridiculous, but I feel like I need to justify my lack of posts this week haha). Anyway, I just bought myself a Kindle and it's FREAKING AMAZING. I had read about one book all year, and in the week since I've had the kindle I've read six. Six books. In one week. So that's where I've been, being a nerdy nerd and reading a whole bunch of amazing science fiction books. If anyone is interested, Ready Player One by Ernest Cline is just about the best book ever. And this is totally boring because you're all here for fashion and sewing, not literature or books, but it just needed to be said. I freaking love my kindle. Much love, everyone! xxx Annika

How now, brown cow?

I went with 50 shades of brown plus my wig for today's outfit, and matched it with this super adorable Lady Tie from Flapper Girl. Now I'm off to have a delicious fried breakfast. xx Annika

Lilac, Red and a Lady Tie

Haha... so I had a little teeny bit of a hair mishap, just after getting this wig, actually. I have maybe possibly accidentally dyed my hair fluorescent pink (I ignored my own advice to DILUTE DILUTE DILUTE your hair dye always, which was really silly!) Neon pink isn't so bad, but I also did a really dodgy bleach job, and didn't get the roots white enough. So it's kind of weird-ombre-fluorescent pink. And it does not look good. So you'll all have to get used to me wearing this wig for a little bit, while I sort my hair out! Anyway, can I please talk about how much I love etsy stores for a moment? (Particularly this etsy store but we'll get to that.) Whenever I get something from an etsy store, I am made to feel like the most special lady in the world, because a ridiculous amount of care and time goes into making the whole thing, packaging included, entirely adorable and I usually get a little thank you card as well! The etsy store that I'm talking about today is Flapper Girl, who sent me two super cute Lady Ties. I am a little bit obsessed. They are such an amazing accessory, they instantly make any outfit more interesting and they work on anything that is collared! wearing tie - c/o Flapper Girl blouse - Vintage shorts - Cotton On tights - c/o Oasap shoes - Rubi Shoes hat - c/o Wholesale wig - Ebay You all ready for the weekend? ;) xxx Annika

Just a quick shout-out: new blog header!

So, if you're here, you'll notice I have a new blog header! I was sent this today out of the blue: (http://teardropsarefalling.blogspot.com.au/) I love it so much. Getting fan-art is something I never anticipated when I started this blog a year ago, and it's so exciting/flattering!! I just want to let everyone know where they can find the amazing illustrator, her name is Rachel and she is from Venezuela! You can find her blog here. Go and say hi, she has a really lovely blog! xx Annika

Sweeter than Sugar

I have a confession to make. I have a condition which makes my hair grow at a ridiculous rate. I actually usually have to cut it every day to stop it getting out of control, or it's just floor length by the time I wake up the next morning. I just get up in the morning and trip over my own hair. It's a pretty serious health hazard. But I decided to let it grow out today. It also grows out pink underneath. Yup. So anyway, I'm joking. I'm not entirely sure how I feel about this wig yet, I guess it's odd because I am not used to seeing myself with long hair (although gosh I wish I had it). I got a bit more used to it while editing and uploading these photos though, and, well, wearing it around the house all day and pretending it was my real hair, haha. I also got on the train wearing it the other day and embarrassed the heck out of my boyfriend, who told me I looked like a crazy person (thanks). I was amused though :)  wearing dress - c/o Oasap bag - c/o Mochi Beaucoup tights - c/o Oasap wig - Ebay necklace - c/o Oasap shoes - Raben Footwear Hope you're having a nice week, all! xx Annika
