Autumn and time for coats

Autumn is my favourite season, nature is slowly turning golden and the temprature is just right for fabulous fashion. Thick stockings, short boots, scarfs and coats, above all coats. It's probably my favourite clothing item, I never get enough! I've alredy decided on ordering a short Mary Magdalene coat new but I'd still like to get one or two more. I've been looking for one in a slight 60´s style, A-lined, ending above the knee and with three quarter length sleeves and also one with a little bit of military flare. What autumn additions are you guys doing to your closet this year?

Bad blogger, no biscuit

So I've definetley been a little bit crap at this latley, I guess I just loose focus sometimes, when a lot of things demand your attention everything tends to get done in a sloppy fashion or not at all. I've been all over the place but I think I'm about to get it together again and I'm grateful that I've managed to keep my readers over this unannounced hiatus, I'll get back to business as soon as possible with the usual shopping updates, some reviews and a couple of doodles. In the meantime I've done a little bit of expanding, as you may or may not have noticed I now have a twitter account as part of the sidebar and you can follow me @milkteabiscuit, I've also added a small playlistat the bottom of the page and I'm working on a tumblr account so hopefully I'll be on a much more frequent schedule for updating in the future.

Eldorado

Gaily bedight,
A gallant knight,
In sunshine and in shadow,
Had journeyed long,
Singing a song,
In search of Eldorado.

But he grew old -
This knight so bold -
And o'er his heart a shadow
Fell as he found
No spot of ground
That looked like Eldorado.

And, as his strength
Failed him at length,
He met a pilgrim shadow -
"Shadow," said he,
"Where can it be -
This land of Eldorado?"

"Over the mountains
Of the Moon,
Down the Valley of the Shadow,
Ride, boldly ride,"
The shade replied -
"If you seek for Eldorado!"

Perfect world

In a perfect world, the events in Oslo would have never taken place. I know it's naive but even after the attempts of terror in Stockholm this winter I still thought that something like this was so remote and could never be successfully carried out here. We don't live in a perfect world but my wish is that we will not let theese actions of evil change us.

Acquisition means life to miserable mortals

New package, I was so worried about this one, lazy summer interns at the post office almost lost it (again?!), but I can't belive how expensive it was when there was almost nothing in it! I need to turn this trend around, I can't keep spendig more and more on things or I don't know what's going to happen. Maybe I'm allowed two more expensive things? A large Vivienne Westwood orb and a Jesus Diamante coat and then it's back to "budget"?

Will I be able to stop?It all depends on whether you have things, or they have you.

Outfit inspiration

I really love theese outfits, I want a skirt like that so bad now, anyone know a place where I can get one? I don't know if it's the heat, the buggs or what but I can't stop longing for autumn.

Less is... More?

I'm really loving this new phone, it's simple design makes it so versitile! I love customizing before I go out every morning. It reminds me of something I saw from Japansese fashion gigant UNIQLO's website some time ago. I remeber that when I lived in Japan, everyone loved that store even though I always thought it was sort of plain. I couldn't belive how the founder of it could be one of the richest men in Japan! But then I read this:

Rather than dictate a look, UNIQLO provides people everywhere with the piece they need to create their own style. And style comes from within, wich is why the UNIQLO logo is nearly invisible, tucked away inside the garment. This concept, along with an unwavering focus on quality and value, has guided UNIQLO's actions since the establishment of its first store in 1984 Hiroshima, Japan.

I feel like I understand it now, the phone is the same, just a blank slate, great quality and a tousand options, so inspirational! I'm such a slave to labels that it's easy to loose yourself, I should probably take a shopping hiatus and think over future purchases.

For now here are my two favourite phone looks!

Nature is lovley

Real wood Iphone cover with a lovley flower strap. When I first saw this I thought no way that's actually wood, but it is! So smooth and light and such an unusual concept, I think I'm in love. This is my "mature" shelf, I use it at work and other places when I need to be a little more adult.

Sweet as Candy

Disneys Iphone series wich I belive is called Mupods, such a funny word, with a Rilakuma cookie strap.

This looks so good on the white model, I've only ever seen it on black ones before and the top part where the chocolate is melted looks gray, yuck. It's perfect on the white though, looks so much like Q-pot style!
