New year

Happy 2014 everyone! After spending an absolute fantastic New Year's Eve in London I flew back early yesterday morning and even today I'm not quite ready yet to go back into my normal routine. Leaving the sparkly December days behind and start a whole new year I always find a little daunting. BUT at the same time I'm excited at the prospect of new projects and opportunities.

So anyway! To start the year on a bit of a light note here are some random things I can recommend you to check out: 1 Me in net-a-porter.com's The Edit magazine (!) (here) 2 London Fireworks 2014 (here) 3 Cate Blanchett on the cover of Vogue US January 2014 (here) 4 Être et Avoir (2002) (trailer here5 'When Did the Period Get so Angry?' by Leandra Medine (here) 6 Kate Moss' first ever shoot (here) 7 David Gray 'A New Day At Midnight' (here) and lyrics (here) 8 1D: This is US (2013) (trailer here) 9 Nicole, Stockholm by Garance Doré (here) 10 London Eye Panorama by Kiwi Bird Productions (here)

A bit of sparkle

I guess sparkles don't really exist in my wardrobe - or dictionary for that matter - but with the Holidays right around the corner I thought that for this shoot I could give them a go. Just a little bit. For those of you who know me or have been following my blog for a while, you may have noticed that besides not sporting a lot of sparkle I don't really wear dresses all that much either. So this fitted sparkly dress was actually a little out of my comfort zone but worn with my favourite big coat it still felt quite 'me'. - Happy weekend-before-Christmas, everyone!

Look 1: Bastyan dress, COS coat and Céline bag. Look 2: COS sweater and coat, Zara trousers and H&M clip earrings.
