Another year older...

So am I allowed to say that I’m getting older? Well turning 24 isn’t that bad I suppose. But I would like to dedicate this blog post to a few of the lovely presents I was given this year. I have in many previous posts rambled about my own little mummy and all the great gifts she has given me in the past. This year mum sent a couple of amazing gifts. One of them was a watch from Octopus, it’s a crazy digital thing with a 60s inspired pattern in green, turquoise, blue and white. The watch looks more like a bracelet to be honest which I like. I’m not the typical ‘watch type’, not that I’m using the sun to tell time but I rather fill my wrists with crazy bracelets, hence why this new watch is ideal!

My little sister Madde bought me a lovely brown leather bag from NEXT and my friend Maria got me this pretty glass bracelet in white, green and turquoise. Rowan and Bobbles got me a vintage looking locket so I need to find some cute photos to put in there.

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!
