A Day For Fairy Play With A Jenny

found my fairy of the flowers gown:) thanks jenny!!!

my next self portrait character is the fairy of the flowers. i might have found my wild flower garden to go with the new £10 wonder gown jenny first laid her eyes on:))) if not, then hampstead heath will have to do. 

met up with jenny today to source my outfit but too to talk talk & do some more talking. it's been so long since i saw her, she's been on a long vacation at home in finland. next time we'll meet to go to the royal academy of the arts where she is exhibiting one of her paintings at the moment:) she is such a talent. thank you for the chocolate & licorice from finland lovely lovely you. and for all advice.

today's outfit was play. game on life!



rebecca taylor top with lace trim
ralph by ralph lauren cordoroy shorts
marc by marc jacobs bow barrette
grandma's gold heart
ecco sandals
primark pink 80's style sweater (my new love...£4)

yes i wanna add something.

 i have followed this beyond amazing beautiful girl on instagram a while now. she has cancer. and she is a living example of something i could never achieve to be even in my dreams. she is what i aspire. it's so easy to buy her app the whole pantry. she is not very well at the moment. she has started something beautiful and the app is only a little more than £1. 

a quote belle gibson chooses to have on her instagram account is by amy poehler:

"i want to be around people that do things. i don't want to be around people anymore that judge or talk about what people do. i want to be around people that dream and support and do things."

A Sunshine Awakening Weekend





this weekend has been an awakening kind. back to my roots. finding my voice. what do i want? it's my life. my choices. i needed to be reminded. 

without my own voice new york never would have happened.  

no new york would have meant no nils, no peter, no tim, no camilla, no elizabeth & no malcolm, the love of my life so far..... and no new york times &  no redeemer with perfection timothy keller.

& no so many other people, places & things.

i am listening to just that in order to make new decisions now.

something else:)

i am completely obsessed all over again by a certain thastrom. a thastrom whom i had my first kiss to:))) laghus, hoghus, darhus perfection, with a dear lasse in the middle of nowhere in the woods (small town sweden style?). a happiness time. such a long time ago.

a certain sofia helin reminded me the other day of thastrom:) our poet. our brilliant poet of today. the summer talks on the swedish radio are just beyond. thank you for those ones.

to get back to happiness a friend told me to go out and devour creation. that i have done for a few days. it worked.

that smile is from yesterday. i am wearing a primark pink sweater, ralph by ralph lauren shorts, marc by marc jacobs top beneath the sweater & h&m sunnnies. the smile is mine.

tomorrow is another sunshine, her name is jenny!

Madness Devouring Dreams

hey precious creatures:)

at the moment fashion, games of thrones, hunger games & vivid maddening dreams devours me. 

those dreams...every single night!

whereas candy cute brilliance days takes up another sort of dreams:)

for what it's worth...it's never too late. or in my case to early, to be whoever you want to be.

today i wanna be an angel.
 i wanna have angels all around me.
 angels in my hair!
 so it is.

so busy, so tired. so much of everything.




the top image is  by one of my absolute best friends, camilla. i styled it. it's quite a long time ago and the perfection cutie wears marc jacobs. she certainly looks like an angel to me. 

for what it's worth...it's never too late, or in my case too early, to be whoever you want to be.

It's Just A Fairy Tale

life can be candy cute brilliant if one chooses for it to be so

this morning while vibering away with my aunt magic beauty entered because i was watching & listening all the while devouring my wonderful second mom marina:)

"what if you slept,
and what if,
in your sleep
you dreamed?
and what if,
in your dream,
you went to heaven
and there plucked
a strange and beautiful flower?
and what if,
when you awoke,
you had the flower
in your hand?
what then?"
- the way of the wizard, deepak chopra

this i pluck this morning:)

i am prepping a shoot that the very talented eleanor hardwick is to photograph while i am creating the styling. the looks below are some i have requested for our shoot. the inspiration collage is a personal reference to myself that i created a while back when this specific idea started to get stuck in my head:)
cutness fall 2014 looks (clockwise from top left):
 valentino, meadham kirchhoff, simone rocha, carven, miu miu, nina ricci, alexander mcqueen & mary katrantzou (resort 2015).

secret gardens are to open up for us fairies i too found out & right here in the southeast of london. explore explore & explore:))) beauty of the wild.

A Fairy Tale Day

a friday of violette

the morning.....ohlalala! we have high summer here in london:) how i have waited. dressed for fairy tales and then went for prepping at franklins. Trying to find the most beautifully ethereal clothes for fall 14 as possible. it seems like this is no easy task...whatever happened to magic? thank god for vintage in my own personal life!

note to myself:

"seize this very minute;
what you can dream
you can, begin it;
boldness has genius, power
and magic in it."

- johann wolfgang von goethe

boldness is brilliance

"your life if your life.
don't let it be clubbed into dank submission.
be on the watch.
there are ways out.
there is a light somewhere.
it may not be much light but
it beats the darkness.
be on the watch.
the gods will offer you chances.
know them.
take them.
you can't beat death but
you can beat death in life, sometimes.
and the more often you learn to do it,
the more light there will be.
your life is your life.
know it while you have it.
you are marvelous.
the gods wants to delight
in you."

- charles bukowski

A Sunshine Fairy of The Flowers Day

ohlalala!

never again will i do game on dulwich, because i'll loose! hallelujah did i loose:) at least adventure happened and i was treated. and managed to get some more bruises...!

this wednesday of ours was perfection from the moment i woke up. the warmth of the sun, the magic of gardens & stories is such a happiness treat. created a longer than normal walk because these type of days does not happen too often. 

"i am without form
without limit
beyond space beyond time
i am in everything
everything is me
i am the bliss of the universe
everything 
am i"

Today I Am GAME!

inget stoppar mig nu;0)!

such a day. i am always in awe of how sunshine and warmth makes this huge difference in the daily life of ours. all of a sudden this desire of living to the fullest comes to life. this morning started with the summer talks the swedish radio has each year, today i got to know the life of the inspirational helene ripa. she won gold in the paralympics this year:) her story almost made me cry several times, she made it despite it all. then when entering dulwich woods it was time for games of thrones! obsession all over again:) i wanna be a knight. sitting now in the sunshine blogging and will soon have to continue some prepping!

"and
SUDDENLY
you just
know it's
time
to start something
new & trust
the 
MAGIC
of 
BEGINNINGS"
