Dress Style

Riccardo Tisci strikes again

trying out some color for spring and summer. my sweater matches the beautiful blue sky. spring is finally here and though i'm more of an autumn type, it's just been so long since i've seen the sun that I can't help but smile!

this Givenchy clutch with built in glove is slightly crazy but even more slightly amazing.

Friday laugh brought to you from Dis Magazine.
Have an ethereal weekend lovelies!

although it doesn't look like it, this top does not have any black in it. I thought I'd prove I don't exclusively wear black. sometimes there is white and navy. I love this vintage shirt- the sales lady told me it used to belong to a model in the 60s and her agent recently came around and dropped off a bunch of clothes from her stay in Italy.

also, I won the shoes in the previous post and should be receiving them next week!

I am trying to get my hands on these Acne boots, let's hope I get them, perfect mix of hard and soft and my answer to Dr. Martens

what a great way to start the weekend & to help out.

remember this beauty that I ordered a while back? Well I got it and it's completely the wrong size, it doesn't hit my legs where it should so I'm passing it onto whoever wants to buy it. I'm charging exactly what I paid for it plus shipping. here are the details

Label: Rick Owens
Size: US 4
Quality: Brand New w. tags
Price: 280 USD + shipping/insurance (optional)

Shipping will vary depending on where I ship to from Sweden, plus I am including a bottle of my favorite nailpolish.
This jumpsuit originally costs 600+ USD so this is a great deal, I wish it fit me so I could just keep it but it's just a tad bit too big for my 5' 0" frame.

this is a crazy lab where imagination runs wild and manifests itself into impeccably well constructed garments.

from left: weekday bracelets/ maybelline lipstick in wooden brown/ surface to air three finger ring

currently obsessed with silver metal accessories with nude lip color and this is the best one i've found so far

wearing: vintage button up/ overalls from beyond retro/ minimarket shoes/ weekday bracelets/ weekday belt

I've been looking for overalls for a while (I never was and still am not sure why I want a pair)- I unexpectedly found these at beyond retro. I was never in the market for denim overalls & am in the process of making faux leather ones so these ones are pretty great. they still make me feel like a big kid no matter how much I dress them up, but I like that about them.

Opening Ceremony is one of my favorite fashion concepts. I love their business model and laid back demeanor. It would be a dream to work with/for these two, they're so funny.

i've been growing out my hair, trying to get it as simple, straight and symmetrical as possible. i haven't parted it down the middle since high school so it's taking a while to get used to it but I went to get it trimmed, to help it grow faster and stronger. i've also been thinking about bringing back the glasses.

EDIT: forgot to mention this might be the best shade of red/pink i've found (it's a lip pencil by max factor called fire) and this is the top of my amazing new Henrik Vibskov dress- full length photos this weekend!

watch watch watch

recently my daily routine includes wearing a lot of black, a lot of layers and a lot of height.
here are the layers I am wearing
1.mishaMarket Two Sided Dress
2. monki draped top
3. Piko 1988 suede draped jacket (best find of the season)
4. minimarket wood wedge
5. surface to air 3 finger ring

its so cold outside and i wish i could wear this outfit without tights and i wish these minimarket wedges were snow proof (they are not, i felt like i was wearing ice skates when i decided to wear them to get coffee). im also trying a more standard hairstyle as I'm waiting for it to grow out. parted in the middle, something I haven't done since high school.

preview of another dress from the spring line up.
mine is made of a sheer dark maroon but she will come in black, gray and olive sheer cotton sheeting

my Minimarket Wooden Wedge ankle boots finally arrived in the post today. i've been waiting for weeks and once I put these wicked boots on I knew it was worth the wait and every single kroner. they are made of the softest leather and everything about the cut and fit is perfection. i can't wait for it to stop snowing so I can actually wear these out. plus i got a great bag from garde- robe

photos by me

i've been feeling very uninspired. everything seems to be going in a circle. nothing is new.

Tim Blanks says it best
"The news that Alexander McQueen has killed himself is particularly devastating because it always felt to me like he’d be the last man standing. He was restless, but so pragmatic with it I assumed he had what it took to endure the extreme situations he placed himself in. He was also an arch romantic with a pessimistic streak. It produced some of the most beautiful, shocking images in the history of fashion, but it’s a state of mind that can lead to endless disappointments. The death of McQueen’s mother last week would have validated his pessimism. It would undoubtedly have taken away his most vital support. It’s awful to imagine him trying—and failing—to cope, and one can only hope that, if he was looking for peace, he found it. For everyone left behind, there will eventually be consolation, however scant right now, in a body of work whose power will never die."

i'm usually not a metallic wearing person but this Margiela belt makes me change my mind every time I look at it. it would look great with my new Rick Owens one piece.

last season i fell in love with the minimarket zipper wedge, which to this day is my most favorite, comfortable and snow friendly boot despite also being the tallest shoe in my collection. so I don't know why I was surprised when I saw their latest boots up for sale on Garde-Robe. Just when my paycheck landed in my bank account and my thirst for a new pair of shoes reached it's peak. I had to snatch these up quickly because last year I waited a while for the navy zip boots to be restocked. now the long and painful wait for the boots to actually arrive (the downside of pre-ordering).

there are few things better then shopping during a lunch break. mix in a rick owens jumpsuit and it's perfection.

i never thought i wanted this piece when i saw it on the ruway (something about the length on a long body just wasn't doing anything for me) until I saw it on kristine-barilli on stylelikeu. this is the one of those few times a garment looks 100% better on a shorter person. can't wait to experiment.

something that will be out in the shop for spring.
right now all i have are shitty photobooth images.

wearing: vintage blouse/ hm jeans/ bycorpus jacket/ f21 shoes

a quick post of what I've been wearing 3 out of 7 days of the week- just to prove that I'm trying to get back to posting outfits from time to time. i feel like i'm getting back to things, sketching out a collection, photographing a few things that will be in MishaMarket when it re-launches at the end of February (fingers crossed!!)

I'm in the process of finding the perfect red lipstick, this is a mix of smashbox and a swedish brand called Make Up Store- still not as electric as I want it to be, but close.

susan batson being amazing. i want her hair, her outfit and her skill. if only i had this pep talk before work.

1&2: monki / 3&4: vagabond / 5: a. wang

swedish companies sure know the way to a girls heart. luckily these won't make a huge dent in my wallet but the last pair just blow me away- i've never wanted anything from Mr. Wangs collections but flat sandals in my favorite color (of the moment). are they worth it?

I've been super busy spending time with all my loved ones in California. I thought I would update with a recent photo of myself looking super out of it (thanks new years glitter party) wearing my new favorite sweater (thanks Johan!). I also bought some new photography equipment that should make it a lot easier for me to take photos, which should lead to more photos taken for dustydress.

i hope everyone is having a great new year! mine has been full of family, museum visits, cider, large amounts of delicious food from Burma Superstar (best restaurant on earth), indian pizza and moms home cooking (best indian food on earth).
