The photo of the girl in the gold skirt on the top left is one of my favorite street style images lately. She’s got a very arresting gaze, and her look is so eclectic and interesting. It makes me want to know her story.

If you have the tools, these simple wooden rings look like a fun DIY project.
The colored studs on this pouch are so cool. The secret? Spray paint! Get the tutorial here.
This looks like the easiest bandeau top ever, and a great way to re-use old leggings.
This hedgehog pincushion is out-of-control cute. I think I need to make one.
I love how this rag rug from vintage sheets turned out. In the same vein, this braided basket made out of t-shirts is also super fun.
This leather tote bag looks pretty easy to sew up. (If you follow my Instagram, you may know that I just finished a fun tote bag project of my own–look for it on the blog next week!)
With my love of rhubarb and floral cocktails, obviously I need to try this rhubarb and elderflower mojito.
I think I may keep this open in a tab forever and look at it whenever I want to see something wonderful. It never stops being adorable.
This dress looks super versatile.
Really like this list of “Things We Don’t Say Enough.”
I’m coveting these sandals and this belt.
If you’ve ever wanted to dye fabric with plants, here’s a guide to natural dyes.
OMG, these cat shoes are my new obsession! (Obviously they’re a knock-off of those Miu Miu cat heels, but those aren’t even available any more.)
These new CFDA/J.Crew collaborations look great, but especially the Tabitha Simmons shoes. (You can sign up here to shop the collections on May 21.)
So much picnic inspiration.
Gorgeous floral underpinnings.
Are you adept at mixing patterns? I must admit that it’s not something I’m very comfortable with or good at, but I admire people who can pull it off. Though some people do it well instinctively, I think with practice you can develop an eye for it. Here are some tips I found, though some of the examples below successfully break all the rules!
- Rule of threes: three colors, three patterns, max.
- Stick with the same fabric. Silks OR cottons, not both.
- Use one “home base” color, and make sure everything you’re wearing has at least a little of that in it.
- Use similar prints, but in different scales.
- Pile on the prints, but keep the silhouette traditional.
- Treat leopard print as a neutral.
- Pair basic patterns with more complex prints.
Do you have any pattern-mixing tips?

Stockholm Streestyle
I’m trying out a new storefront. It’s more clean and uncluttered than Etsy, and I like that it’s my own little place. It feels kind of like moving from dormitories into an apartment, though I’m not leaving Etsy. I don’t have everything listed there yet, but I’m slowly adding items. Check it out here.
For a long time I’ve been wanting to add jewelry to my shop, and lately I’ve been experimenting with some jewelry designs. I just finished and listed these waxing and waning crescent moon earrings:
These tote bags technically aren’t new, but I don’t think I’ve ever shared them here. I’m trying out some double-sided designs.
Listing here.
“Sic itur ad astra” is Latin, and it roughly translates to ”thus you shall go to the stars.” Listing here.
For my housemate Karla’s birthday I made this lemon almond yogurt cake, which is gluten-free because she’s sensitive to gluten. I was a bit nervous about baking without gluten, because I haven’t done much of it, but this cake turned out wonderfully.
