I started the week by having a lovely rainy morning meetup with Catrine, chatting and going over her latest Cooee Design collection. Such cute pieces btw, I will show you some of my favourites soon. I love rainy days - could we just have some more of them, please?!

I love that I'm in the luxurious position of being able to take some time off work every once in a while and just "chillax". I read magazines, drink Diet Coke with a straw and pretend to have absolutely nothing on my mind whatsoever. It's so good for the soul.

Comfort above ALL else? Well, it might sound strange but there áre times when fashion and my own personal style are the furthest things from my mind. And these times are actually not even that rare for me. It's really not often that I put a lot of tought in what I'm going to wear - and even less time is spent on "doing my hair". I tend to dress in whatever suits my mood for the day and lately it's been all about comfort. So on a random (windy?) day chances are you'll find me dressed in loose fits, Birks and with La Coupe Storm. Obviously I couldn't just head into an office like this (and thankfully I don't often have to!) but I think with this kind of outfit a nice pair of shoes and a hairbrush is really all it would take to make it "office-appropriate" as well.

On the Vogue Blog Network this week we talk about "outfit repeating". It's a bit odd, of course, because by giving something so normal a term like that it might come across as something special instead. But wearing an outfit only once, isn't that what's really nuts? In the fashion blogosphere I think there are 2 types of bloggers: the ones that constantly keep their readers surprised and entertained by posting new(ly purchased or sponsored) looks and trends and the ones that quite simply just share their own style and everyday outfits. And well, I obviously don't belong in the surprising and entertaining category, I'm just showing you what I wear - what I actually really wear - and what I'm into. And the leather backpack is still what I'm very much into. We go together like Batman and Robin.
