This pretty bracelet came as a surprise in the mail for my birthday. From my sweet friend Liza. Love.
I love when you buy something new that makes other pieces you already have just click. I love the warm rust color of this long dress/shirt I bought this week.
And it goes so well with these over-the-knee socks from American Apparel that I’ve had for 3-4 years and never used that much. Love it.

I was in New York the whole month, said goodbye to one group of visitors, vacuumed the house and soon welcomed another. I went to my first (and second) football game, a Broadway play, went touristing in Times Square, went to a Surf Bar and on an aimless walk. I had heaping nachos by a Christmas tree, custom cupcakes and a guacamole waiter. I wore my new Kånken backpack a lot, figured out how to blend in to my neighborhood, got a new winter hat, became friends with knitted tights, and wore a lot of hats and added to my collection of fluffy things. I got my face put on a calendar, lusted after the new Swedish Hasbeens, Louboutin’s eco-trash and things made from old tapes and bags made from recycled Swedish military fabrics. It was sunny and warm, then here was a huge blizzard and the aftermath was gorgeous. I went to a vernissage, bought a tree, blew a kiss under the mistletoe, celebrated Christmas with my family (and a lot of food), and rang in the new year with bubbly, lobsters and a great view from my roof.
The first outfit of the year. It’s funny when you mix faux and real, it feels kind of hypocritical, like I’m supposed to take a stand.
Well, I guess I have — wearing what makes me feel good and only buying fur and leather if it’s second hand. This fur vest was a christmas gift from my BF, bought on ebay. I love it so much.

I decided to start my 2011 on top — Top of the Rock.
It’s good to change one’s perspective sometimes.
Even though I’m a bit scared of heights.
If you look carefully, you notice little things here and there.
Like the countdown clock in Times Square.
I feels good to be on top. I’m know that 2011 will be my best year ever. What are you hoping for in the new year?
