MORE ROADTRIPS


I took a little road trip just by myself and driving around the areas where I grew up and later on I picked up Ina, went for ice cream and drove around the part of town we'd like to live in where there's lots and lots of green and wooden houses.

I like my cars old. Older than I am. If I am about to pollute the planet I may as well do it with style. I have driven (driven as in moved from point A to point B) brand new fine cars in the harbour that are worth twice as much as my apartment. They are silent and smooth as cream to ride in but still -I think you should feel it when you drive! I actually want to make that effort to speed up. It always makes me go 'Vrooom!' when I hit the highway. (But then again I make that sound effect when I bike hard too so it's not really the car that brings that out in me...).

Well anyway, I love my car but since this blog normally tends to be more about clothes than cars may I just add that this outfit actually had a point; to make my skirt and top look like a dress together. I like combining two items into just one.


The belt and the car are vintage, the rest is semi-new stuff


Now I'm off for a slightly longer road trip with my secret boyfriend and I'll be back in August. Have fun until then!

(Btw If you spotted the bump in the front of my car; it wasn't me- contrary to common stereotypical misbelief I am blond and female but still know how to drive a car. That bump was caused by a man ;)

I love that look on you. It's very iconic. You look like a pin-up girl from the 50's. Maybe that's why I hear the HAPPY DAYS theme playing through my head...

Have a great and very fun road trip!
Be safe.

What a look! Possibly my favorite of yours ever. The pale blue looks fab with the cream and red.

Have a lovely time on your vacation, doll.

You look great. I love the pattern on the skirt.

And I agree: its great just to go out for a long drive. Good music and wind blown hair is perfection.

I was feeling kind of flapper all night, well, because of the outfit too... If I can get hold of any decent photo of me I'll publish it on the blog. Have a nice evening!

I think you succeeded! And I agree with you on the cars, all though I can't drive, I just love old cars!

You look lovely. Roadtrips are wonderful and I feel so often we "need" cars to get around--so one as stylish as yours is fantastic.
