Scarves!

Since moving to England five years ago, I have lived in about seven rented properties, and every room has lacked storage space for clothes. However, the wardrobes in the big two bed house I am currently sharing with my best friend Minna is a nice treat for anyone with a large amount of clothes and accessories since there are six of them! It’s like taken out of a scene from ‘Sex & City’. Another of my obsessions is scarves, and I have loads of them. So one of the wardrobes is basically filled with scarves.

I have four siblings and they are all spread out around the globe. My sister Mimmi has lived in Hong Kong for the past three years and I went to visit her last year and found a place called Stanley Market. If you ever get the chance to go to HK, go there! It’s very cheap and filled with clothes, accessories, bags, shoes… you name it! There is where most of my scarves come from since I went a bit crazy when I was there and bought a few. My sister knows my love for scarves so she usually brings me two-three every time I see her. Some of them have lovely decorative patterns on them and others are just plain. Pink, orange, green, blue, purple… and so on!

Another one for my MUM

Since my mum is one of the most amazing people in my life, I thought I would keep ranting about her a wee more! Similar to the ‘blue hippie-top story’, there is another item of my mum’s which I absolutely love. If you have read my previous posts, you may have noticed my slight obsession for ponchos and floaty tops.

Mumsie got this lovely dark red knitted poncho maybe eight years ago. It’s perfect in the spring and autumn, and looks ace with a brown or black skirt, tights and high leather boots. My parents try to visit me and my little sister in UK at least twice a year, and they always brings us fun treats. Around two-three years ago, my mum said – I think you’ll like this present Maja! She opened the bag, and there it was; the lovely poncho! My mum is truly amazing and has an ace fashion sense! Looking forward to see what interesting things I can find in her wardrobe this time!
