It was probably the best photo that was taken of my hair and the hat I made to go along with my new dress. By the by, peacock feathers are lovely!

Now onto more important news....

A walk through Stockholm

Last night I went out for a walk with my friend Ting. I find that the summer weather is much more bearable in the evening and therefore I prefer to be out at that time. We all know that I can not STAND the heat - it makes me feel quite sick, and so I am more comfortable in the cooler temperatures of a late night with a gentle breeze tugging at my hair.

Stockholm can be very pretty sometimes...

My new gloves! I absolutely love them!

Sometimes you can find odd people in Old Town. But that is part of why it's so charming.

Normally our Palace is quite drab and not very interesting at all, but when the sun is setting it turns into something quite spectacular.

None of these pictures are really good, I'm afraid, but... oh well.

Outfit:

Skirt, headbow and Socks: Innocent World.

Everything else: Offbrand.

I do not think I have worn an outfit that consists entirely of brand items in months! It is much more comfortable this way... Besides, I don't have any shortsleeved blouses from them.

Sunshine!

I have missed the sun so much this winter and after a dreafully boring couple of months with mud instead of snow spring finally has arrived I am able to enjoy the warm weather to the fullest.

Stockholm Storm

The snow was coming down hard today. The wind was blowing and the air was filled with big snowflakes. There was so much of it that it even made me late for school, but i do not blame it. Even though we have the same kind of snowfall at least a couple of days a year, Stockholm Stad never seems to grasp it and year after year we are buried in snow and most subway trains stand still, or move very slowly. Total chaos ensues and yet they never seem to learn. Funny, is it not?

This morning when I sat in class I looked out the window and could barely see a thing, there was just so much snow. And yet, I could not keep my eyes from it as it fell from the sky to settle in a thick layer on the street. Then, later in the day, the clouds cleared away for a moment and the sun shone down on the freshly fallen snow. I do not think I have ever seen anything so beautiful as when the sun set over the glistening white ground.
