PLAYING DRESS UP

Posted on July 28, 2010 by Johanna Björk

“When Johanna comes in, she brings fresh air along with her. I guess that’s what a Goodlifer is, but she has a certain je ne sais quoi about her that is light, fresh, and radiant. She put the little black dress together in a way that reminded me of french new wave films of the beauty of teenage adolescence and childhood innocence. And yet there was a certain Brigitte Bardot-ness about her as well.”

Det finaste nån sagt om mig på länge. Tack. Rösta på mig i Bright Young Things Style Challenge här! (genom att “gilla” FB posten med min outfit)

FIRE ISLAND

Posted on July 26, 2010 by Johanna Bjork for Modette

Ca 1.5 timmes bilfärd öster on NYC ligger Fire Island. Sandstränder som sträcker sig miltals och en sval bris från havet. Allt som hörs är vågor, vind, fåglar och ett tyst sorl av röster. När man håller på att kvävas av staden är det underbart att åka hit, om så bara över dagen.

TRANSLATION:
About 1.5 hour by car east of NYC is Fire Island. Sandy beaches that stretch for miles and a cool breeze from the ocean. All you hear are waves, wind, bird and a quiet murmur of voices. When the city is about to choke you, this is a wonderful place to go, if only for the day.
