Waiting for the first storm


It’s time for the first fall storm, can’t wait. A few trees usually gets knocked down, unfortunately my neighbor cut all their trees down (illegally) so they can’t get squished under them (but maybe some other horrible things can happened to them?).

I love lingerie

I have made plans to go to Swedish lingerie store Twilfit real soon and try on some of their goodies. I don’t really have the body for lingerie but I can’t help it. Lingerie isn’t my main priority right now, it’s buying clothes that will make me not freeze to death during the winter but… a girl needs a little treat every now and then right?

Never had anything corset-ish in my life because they rarely have that sort of thing in a A cup because we “don’t need” them so I have to check this one out. (Wanted it black but you can’t have it all)
Corset 449kr/49,59USD

Panties 149kr/19,74USD

Cute black balconette which is hard to find in my size (Rarely fits so keep your fingers crossed)
269kr/35,64USD
Panties 169kr/22,69USD
Garter belt 179kr/23,79USD
A nighty that really caught my eye and is the main reason I’m heading towards the store in the first place. 499kr/66,11USD

Love this rode but it’s 999kr/135,35USD so…

Cute cuddly angora socks with my name on it! It’s an autumn-must-have for 159kr/21,06USD

Hmm… I hope some of this stuff doesn’t fit or is extremely unflattering or uncomfortable, something or I’ll be broke...

What did I do today?

I manage to find a cute coat but that was it. I don’t think it’s a very warm coat but it was cute. I can cross of autumn-must-have item number 2. I do not like shopping, I like the idea of shopping but I never seem to be able to find anything I like. I was standing there trying things on and I just felt stupid and awkward, I felt like a little girl dressing up and I wasn’t comfortable at all. Nothing really seemed to fit either (is there something wrong with me?), it was loose in all the wrong places and to tight at all the wrong places… Then just to top it off I ran it to this annoying salesperson desperate to sell and just couldn’t accept the fact that I didn’t like the raincoat they had at the store, so annoying. And then there was this bitch at the pharmacy, so rude. I asked her for some help to find something and she basically bark at me that it’s very easy to go online and find what I need so that I know what I’m looking for when I get there. Oookay, and her job is to do what exactly? Annoying but fortunately it was the last thing that happened before going home so it didn’t spoil my day.

Oh, I want a purple nail polish and a dark red one so I bought some but the purple one was too blue and the dark red one was not red enough and was closer to brown so if anyone wants some nail polish I have some. I also have a pink one which I have no idea why I bought in the first place, close to the counter maybe? (I tried to take some pictures of them but it was impossible to capture the right colors)

Knitting hats!

I’m going to knit hats for everyone so make sure to let me know what color you want, you can also give me a picture and I’ll see if I can make you a similar one. Autumn is coming so I better start knitting. I’ll be making myself this one, but bright red instead of raspberry.

Autumn must have item number 3

Number 3 on the list, rubber boots. These are sort of cute. Can’t walk in heels though but there are cute. The other pair without heel and lacing in the front that were cute too. Nice to know there are some options when it comes to boots.

Both from Tretorn

AUTUMN-MUST-HAVE-LIST

Autumn-must-have-list

1. A beret because they are so cute! I’ll probably look like a fool but hey… Maybe I can knit one?
2. A new coat, bought one last winter but two seams broke right away. Hate when that happens.
3. New rubber boots. Perhaps two pairs? One fancier pair and one for walking the dog. It could be nice to stay dry and not look like a hillbilly when I go places.
4. An umbrella, a black double domed one, like the one witches have. Oh and perhaps a red one too…
5. A rain coat, maybe two? (Same reason as number 3)
6. Cozy socks, mohair, cashmere or similar.
7. A nice throw.

It’s not even August yet but it feels like autumn…

Where is the summer at? This happened last year too, no summer… It’s not all that warm, not cold either but no summer heat and there’s something with the light that makes it feel like fall. I have to stack up on books and movies, and yarn and new recipes so I have things to do this fall.
Even though I usually get low when it’s fall, leaving yet another disappointing summer behind me and it’s starts to rain, the winds picks up and before you know it the sunsets at noon I think it’s my favorite time of the year. The colorful leaves, feeling cold and miserable and sit down and watch television with tea and apple-pie with a cozy blanket and slippers on. I like it when the wet leaves are caught in the wind and slapping your face, why? I don’t know… Guess because it’s okay to be gloomy that time of year, no one is questioning you if you are upset and/or down because most people are at that time.

I was just out with my dog, it looked like rain so I got my rubber boots on (even though there’s a hole in them but they are better than sneakers) but skipped the raincoat. It was probably just a small shower and it gets so warm with that thing on. I hadn’t gone far when it started to rain, a faint thunder behind me and my dog being stubborn decided what way to go, to the highest point. It was pouring down now, we were both soaked and the thunder right above us. It sounded like a whole mountain crumbling down and my dog doesn’t like that so we headed back and I was a little scared because we were so high up. We were walking and lighting cut our path, it was right in front of us, hissing and spitting and making all kind of noises, it was like stepping into a Poe story.

The rain beating down on us and rooftops, lovely sound, sure I was wet but it was warm. Have a feeling this fall is going to be a wet one so I need new rubber boots, a new raincoat and a cute umbrella (a black one like in my story).
