WINE RED TURBAN

I want a red turban. The thought about getting one, have been smouldering inside of me, since I saw a girl with one in Berlin last year. I've decided that it's my turban-time now, but I'm very particular about the choice of colour. It has to be in this dark, dark red shade - wine red. Vine red just look so expensive and sophisticated - and who would want less?
My problem is that a wine red turban isn't anywhere to find online. I must try to find it somewhere else, and it wouldn't surprise me if my local treasure-filled antique shop got one lying around.

HOT STUFF AT TOPSHOP

I really like Topshop's summer collection! I wish for sun so that I can wear floral shorts and sandals! xx Amanda

HOW DO THEY FEEL IN PROVENCE?

I'm going to Provence (in France, red.) this summer, where my parents has rented a big house. It's way out on the countryside, but in acceptable distance from Avignon and Aix-en-Provence. Beside seeing the bigger French cities, I also look forward to visit the nature reserve called "Parc Natural Règional du Luberon" where hilltop-towns with castles and ruins, can be found.
When I close my eyes I can see myself dancing around on a lavender field in a summer dress, sandals and a happy smile. A picture that's so far away from the grey, Danish situation here. My cherry tree haven't even sprung yet, but I know (from Thecherryblossomgirl.com) that they have in Paris. So much for (freezing) Scandinavian minimalism..
But really, I look forward to visiting France, and I will use these last boring months to get as French as possible!

Au revoir! xx Amanda

DRESSING FOR LEAVING THE OLD BEHIND

I thought of a short 'n' sweet floral printed dress for the "leaving party" at my school this summer. I like the one from Malene Birger with the wedges from Miu Miu (in the top), but it's a little expensive.. Well, I guess I'll see what I end up with (:

MONKI SPONKI

I've seen the dress in my favourite magazine, COVER, and been in love with it from that very moment. It's from Monki so that means it's also very cheap(!!) - more to love. The bra is also from Monki, and I would like to own one - it's only summer 3 months a year, right (;
The belt is slightly more expensive (Michael Kors), but you might get the idea.. The belt I want is from Bruuns Bazar, but I couldn't find a picture of it..
To finish the outfit these ballerinas from Repetto would be very nice! I have never seen shoes in the colour of the sky before, so I'm pretty exited!

THE COLOUR OF HAPPINESS

I've started painting again (after maybe a year?), and it's a feeling I'm trying to catch. It's that warm, dusty feeling of summer happiness - that feeling that sometimes turns up out of nothing. I'm painting it in yellow and warm orange colours, and I thing I'm going to buy some tissue paper to get the right dusty look out of it. I'd like it to be a little circus -like too, so I'm going for some rhombuses (special kind of square - like those Harlekin wears).
This is going to be goooood! (;

DREAM OF DESTRUCTION

I think we all want to be destructive at some point in our lives. The funny thing is, that we all are judging the people who's really living "the dream". But isn't it safer to be the tornado in stead of the idiot who fascinated stands on the ground to watch it vandalizing? I don't know if you have to be brave to be destructive - or is it only stupid people who doesn't have a clue about what they are doing?
I got these small flashes where I get the need (or lust?) to be destructive. For example: Everytime I walk over a bridge, I get this thought, that it would be fantastic to throw my bag in the water. I have never done it yet, but I'm really afraid that I'll do it sometime.
I also think everyone have had the thought of just throwing the homework in some fire, and then just leave to see the world.

But I don't think I could do that.
So either am I too clever and reasonable (hah) to be destructive - or am I just a chicken?
