One Outfit, Four Photos

Uncut cord skirt vintage (reclaimed from my parents' basement last time I was home), blouse Weekday, necklace gifty from Emma ages ago, shoes Rachel Comey (can't really see 'ems, though).

Lack of ironing is apparent.  Whoops.

Close up of the lovely vintage print.  

Looking down, shoes off.

Meanwhile, someone was keeping an eye on me from her favorite perch.

One Outfit, Three Photos

I call this one "Cosmic Jesus."  Or something.

Jacket vintage, shirt H&M, skirt & Other Stories, rosary vintage, tights H&M, shoes Acne.

Spring Is Here

This sign captures the frenzy.  Vattenmelon!!!  What else do you eat when the weather turns??

The days are getting longer.  The sun's setting later and rising again around 4 am right now.

Lunches are taken outside, gulls are everywhere.

Of course, there are perils to sitting outside.  

(This really happened.  I must note that the fly was not IN my soup, but arrived in my mouth at the EXACT same time as the spoon.  How's that for timing?)

All of the classic cars are on out and about.  Supposedly, there are more classic American cars in Sweden than in the US right now.  There's a fun fact for ya!

And it's festival season.  Only in Sweden is a Jared Leto band given top billing.  Is this a joke?

Wearing Lately

New metallics from Won Hundred.

See the smiley face?  My outfit is happy.

JT took this photo of me and B just outside out apartment a few weeks ago.

This shit's gonna be big.  Dogdamnit.  You heard it here.

Red carpet waiting room at the GI center.  Way to make scope patients feel like celebrities!

I love the top of this vintage dress.  Makes me feel like a cupcake topper!

And Finally... The Cats

Cats run Istanbul.  I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it myself.  They go where they please, into stores and cafes.  They are well-fed and generally healthy and polite (if it is within the scope of politeness to enter someone else's property and make yourself at home there, of course).  The shopkeepers leave out food and water for them, and it's common to see a kitty bed in the stores.  (Someone told me that the locals would rather have cats than rats.  Totally.)  I can't tell you how delighted I was to be around all of these kitties, though I'm sure you can imagine.

Here are the photos.

I think I counted 12 or so cats in this one frame of vision.  Clearly, this was their HQ.

I love how this guy looks like he's trying to put it on plastic!

Stuff on Walls--Istanbul Edition

Nice cover up.

I love that this one says "Biron."

Note the tea.

And this beauty is from our office in Istanbul.  My first thought was, "That's perverse!"  But then I realized it was just bad.
