Change of mind

I just realised this evening that I need to stop feeling I have to have such "great" and "perfect" posts on my blog and treat it more like I do my Facebook page - just make a note of the moment. Instead of spending endless time trying to find the "right" picture or feeling that I can´t post a picture because its not" vintage enough..." :)

Ah, the things we learn and the time it takes. OK, here goes!



Yesterday evening I was watching "Leatherheads" ( I haven´t gotten through it yet). The opening scene was great with a crowd in mid-20s costumes and I started to think of how Baroness von Vintage would love this movie ( even though shes a more of a 193os kinda gal) and how cool George Clooney is - in the words of La Baronessa - swoon !

When suddenly I see Reneé Zellweger in a hairstyles that can only be described as a ... 1940 style ... What was that ?? Very strange...

Things I want.



These Minna Parikka shoes ... They are sooo sexy !

And the tour here in Sweden has been amazing ! Great reviews and sold out shows ! I´m seeing them one last time before they leave for Ghana 8th May.

I agree...you should post what you love whenever the mood strikes and not worry about its perfection or vintage-ness.

You are RIGHT that I do like Leatherheads! However, I COMPLETELY agree that Renee's hair in the movie seems somehow "off." Great hats in the film, though ;)

You should take your own advice and post what you feel like, after all it is your blog :-)

I have seen the film and never thought about her hair being out of place. You would think with all the money spent to make the film look authentic they would have checked her hair.
