i must become a lion hearted girl

Bracelet - Dior (Gift)

Say hello to my new place to take outfit photos at! I don't live anywhere near it, but I go to the city quite often and have realized that the Leeds Town Hall stairs are almost always empty. So I'll probably stop by to take pictures at other times as well:-) And who doesn't fancy seeing lion statues every now and then.

Can I just say I love this dress. If I found it today, I don't know if I would shorten it. But I do like it this way as well as with a long full skirt as it used to be. And it's perfect for breezy spring weather with light enough fabric. Yet it's warm enough to wear on it's own, and I did ditch the blazer a couple of times. And I also took the over-knee socks and tights off at some point during the day... I clearly don't have a clue how to dress at the moment as I always have too little or too much clothes on!

Isn't it, though?

can you dance like a hippogriff?

I don't know what it is, but I'm currently much more interested in doodling and drawing than what I'm wearing and appearances in general. It's spring and I'm dressing up so colourlessly and seem to go back to a couple of items that are easy to throw on. Still I am looking forward to the summer, and with it too seeing all the clothes etc. I left in Finland. I'm missing a few of my vintage dresses and also my sewing machine. Mostly, my sewing machine. But I hope you don't mind all the posts that are related to what my wee hands and pens have been up to!

So. I drew this Harry Potter alphabet sometime ago, with a one I saw on the internet as a model. (They're nearly identical, because I'm a copycat.) You just can't have too much Harry Potter in your life!

we are shining and we'll never be afraid again

Bandeau top - Gina Tricot

Over-knee socks&Earrings - New look

Shoes - Citymarket

Ring - Primark

I don't think this shirt has appeared on the blog yet? It's been part of my wardrobe since January though, and I really like it. Loose fit and sheer fabric with golden thread and glittery buttons, what else can you ask for? I would usually pair it with a skirt or leggings, but I haven't been outside the house for that long today that I'd care. It's really rare for me to wear the same outfit for more than one day in a row, but I could literally live in this shirt. So this is actually what I wore yesterday and today. And because you can't have too much shiny items, I'm also wearing my shiniest ring and glitter nail polish. (The only shabby thing is my pink shoes, that are living their last days, poor things.)

Well, I'm off back to my history books and chocolate. Here's hoping this'll be a lovely week for all of us♥!

Top - New look

Mind how I was moaning about my hair some time ago. I've probably done it repetitively. Well, just as I had made my mind up to chop it short at some point this summer, I remembered that long hair's pretty nice too! A wee braid is such a saviour on a bad hair day, and I've been sporting different versions of this hair-do lately (i.e. everyday). Some day I may get frustrated or just bored and get out the scissors. But until that happens I'll try and make the most of having long(ish) hair. After all, there's so much you can do with it. It's so silly that once you cut your hair you wish it was long again and when it is long you want to cut it.

Anyway, hope you're having an amazing weekend, dollfaces♥!
