Sometimes I wonder why it was decided that white should be the color of purity. Or why is it associated with both brides and ghosts. Is it really so pure when the specter of white contains all the other colors, is it not more blinding and subjugating and violent event, invading every space it can? Surely, black should be the purest color, for it's not tainted by anything else...
Last weekend was quite sunny so I've put on my new tartan dress. The funny thing is that now we have moved in a somewhat more rural part of the town and when we went to the local shop, lots of people were staring at me. I suppose that here even this is considered a flashy outfit...
I love this dress and it arrived super quickly, in a beautiful box. Plus it's made in UK! And with the tartan print, it's a true british spirit that it has!
I have so many photos now waiting to be edited but hardly get around to doing it because of allocating most of my time to learning for university. The bigger news is that we have moved, so that means new places for taking photos. If only my schedule would allow it. Because the spring (or summer??) is here and it's sunny and warm and flowers have started blooming and all I want to do is go outside...
There is a lot of choice this season when it comes to lady-like crystal jewelry and that can only make me happy! While I'm not the one to go for the super-colorful and fluorescent, I have managed to find some jewelry in more neutral tones. I think they have a great vintage feel, reminding me of the glorious eras of the 20s and 50s. Part of this look's jewelry come from Girl Intuitive and you should definitely check them out, because they have a wonderful range of elegant jewelry with styles going from tribal to rock to glamour. And I paired my jewelry with a fairly simple black velvet dress with contrasting white lace collar and cuffs and a pair of tall purple suede wedges, for the ultimate "vintage meets modern" look.

I love the Muted Chic bracelet, it has a sort of steampunk look with the aged chain and the overlaid crystals. Very elegant!
And an imposing baroque silver cross necklace from Girl Intuitive of which you will see more in next week's post!
