the absence of elegance


Timeout. 
I take my time to read and enjoy the garden. Currently I'm reading the book you see above. 
I learned from it that "comfort is the enemy of elegance". 

Okay, than I´m totaly inelegant in my trashy strech look... YEAH!

high wait capris: Deadly Dames
t shirt: souvenir from NYC 
 wedges: fleamarket


take a closer look at my wedges too: the sole has great flower details


And so much time to eat strawberries in the sun.


And for a little shopping walk I allow myself some more trashy strech...



dress: ebay uk
necklace and clip ons set: 60s vintage, ebay uk

 suede sandals: Tamaris
nail polish: essie really red

But there is no excuse to go out without high heels, especially when you can walk in confetti!

Bye bye May


Bye bye Mr. May! 
My favorite month started quite sunny, but now - rain, rain everyday
The humidity kills all my curls, so to save my hair, I wear another's hair as hairpieces.

And it's time for warm black suits again... see, even the poppys cry.

black suit with ermine collar: 60s vintage, second hand shop 
umbrella: Elisabeth Dahl


The best thing in May for me - besides the upcoming sun and the taste of asparagus and rhubarb - are the Lilies of the Valley. I love them so much, their smell, their shape and all their shades of green. I decorate them in my mini headvases and let them inspire my to integrate more white, pastel green and pale pink in my everyday looks.



tights: Falke
shoes: Vagabond

Welcome Lady June!
