I especially like to get plants and flowers and place them out around the house, mostly on the balcony now that we're still on the lighter side of the year.




(I nowadays refer to my balcony as the gothic garden due to all it's dying flowers- the sunflowers did not make it that along either as you may spot from the corner.)

Or at least not admit it, right? *wink wink*

But I do have red nails!
And-

You did not really think this post was about my balcony gardening now did you?
Perhaps you may remember this dress from a few years back; I bought it from a vintage store in Copenhagen. It only took me two years to sew those two small seams in the back it needed to fit me better. Whoah, I can actually use it now instead of just having it on display on my clothing rack.

The suede shoes are old, very old; my grandmother's from the early fifties and the belt is Vivien of Holloway.
Also, I took these pictures myself. On our balcony. Sometimes when I think about that it seems a bit retarded. But then again ladies, I do have a tongue and I tend to stick it in my cheek from time to time.

You look SO 1950's, nice photo series! I know what you mean about green fingers, I have three surviving plants out of many that tragically did not make it!!

haha the first thing I thought was "isn't that the dress from Copenhagen?" and it was (12 points to Denmark Jay;) like the new hair!
Oh, what a lovely dress! So cute, this is why I adore the 50s. Seeing all your tattoos makes me anxious, I wanna have a tattoo NOW!
Hahaha absolutely perfect post :) Love your dress too, of course (we all love a self-portrait outfit post) and your gothic garden. Made me smile!
Ha ha oh I love this! I try to be a good plant owner too... but often fail! Love your little sailor dress, it's beautiful.
This dress is wonderful! I adore the blue color on you.
xo,
Em
I think you (and your garden, deadness included) look lovely!
And I wouldn't worry about not being able to keep plants alive, my dad's a plant biologist and he kills "hard to kill" plants :P
J'adore this dress!!! I was just thinking last night I need something similar.
Also? My green thumb is more of a brown hue.
No green fingers here either but least you look lovely in your outfit.
Fabulous frock. It has inspired me to pull my un-green fingers out and make myself a sailor dress, I have the fabric sitting there waiting.
Perfect posing! Lovely dress!

"I may not have that green fingers. But I do have red nails!"
Well said! I'll try to remember this witty sentence next time I'll be neglecting my plants!

Don't worry some plants are seasonal, and they die at the end of summer, such as sunflowers!
By the way you look very good in your vintage dress!!

aww I love this sailorish dress! I have been searching for one for so long! Please please do a hair tutorial for this hairstyle, it is too cute x
Anonyymi : pikasen kyllä ku on lasitettu. Ja lämpölamppujakin saa! :)
Claire Eloise &B Lovebytes : hmmm, well, it is actually a very simple style, old curls turning straight that I just brushed inwards and sprayed a lot! The hair needs to be a bit dry and dull from old hairspray, styling etc. for it to work properly.
