TIKI OCTOBER


I popped by the re-launch of Kokomo tonight and all the Tiki drinks were free. Free tiki drinks! I could however not enjoy myself any complimentary tropical alcoholic beverages as I was also doing a show. You can't always have everything I guess. Not even when it comes to tiki drinks (damn it).

This is the autumn version of dressing "tropical"; if it's too cold for bare legs or very thin tights it's best just to add a big splash of colour all over.

The dress is Trashy Diva, the necklace a leftover from my hippiedays I bought the summer I was in Bali and yes, you must have noticed, the bag matches my fridge which means it is m i n t  g r e e n.
(There's lots of mint green in the shops right now. Almost too much. It was hard to believe it would ever come to this.)


Oh, and a little PS. here at the end;
my weekly give away at my blog's  FB page this week -ending Sunday as usual- is for a set of eco false lashes, with ecologic-and vegan friendly adhesive! 5 cent per contester goes to charity (to organizations in the US.) Enter via my site or straight trough here: http://bit.ly/PonDjs

I have been a huge admirerer of your blog for over 2 years now. I, with out fail, always think of you before I buy a piece of clothing, kind of a "how would she wear it" thought, and I think that has definitely been a big influence in how I've dressed myself for the past 2 years-I want to thank you for the inspiration, youe truely are so inspiring. I started my own blog two years also, nothing of the creativing and imagination your blogging, but I do enjoy having a way of experimenting and showing off-my drive for style is looking for bargains (http://salessmilesandstyles.blogspot.ie/) :) So I guess, I just want to say hi and that I'll try and be a bit more vocal-I love it when you do tropical looks! This is adorable! <3 Jill

Fascinating how well your outfit matches your home decoration: bag goes with fridge, dress and hairflower go with the table cloth! Very well done! Love that Tiki Style!

You definitely match your surroundings perfectly!

I am RIDICULOUSLY jealous of your dress. I have loved that print since I first saw it but have never been able to afford one of their dresses.

Anonymous : Well, I have been working out. Not more than normally, that'd be impossible with a baby; I go to the gym abot once a week and I've managed to go swimming only a couple of times. But I guess I've been walking around more, and then of course carrying a baby is some sort of work out too :D I guess breast feeding helps me too, but it does not help everybody I've heard. I now think I am at the point where it will be more difficult; I still have about 6cm I'd ned off the waist while the rest is sort of "normal":
Mostly I think it's my diet; I've always eaten healthy but now I've chosen extra much raw food. But to quote Robert de Niro on how he lost his weight after Raging Bull: "you gotta eat less."
So Iäve left out those extra sandwiches or occasional chocolate bars. No piece of cake or cinammon roll at the ikea trips either. I haven't been fanatic with it though, but in general just more strict.

Jill : thank you!

Roxy : put 4$ aside every week and you can buy it next June!!

Ulrika, you're a real Tiki princess. Means, I love your outfit, parrots on a sky blue dress, what could be better?
And you did a great job in loosing your babyweight. As I've told you breast feeding will help.
Have a nice and cosy Sunday evening with your two men.
Hugs from Miss Maple
