Swedish Summer

____________

Topshop has made a collection called Swedish Summer.

I was curious.

This is what I found

______________________

Briefly summation: Flower Power.

I'm thinking 70's and ABBA, nature and flowergirl. There is also a national theme here, with the national dress inspiration. There are wooden shoes, the blue and yellow color, embroideries, high waisted shorts and pants, light and airy materials and long stocking. There is an atmosphere of harmless beauty with a touch of flirtation.

It kind of reminds me of our new uniform on my working place.

My nude-colored lace top over a black tank top. To that a slim short black skirt.

The mobile case I use as a necklace or as a belt.. how cool is that?

It was a lovely day today.

It' was wet because the snow is melting, but still.

Everything is starting to change.

Mango spring preview!

__________________________

Mango has finally released their spring collection online. A spring preview. Surprisingly I found a lot of long skirts.. in denim! I don't know if I like it.. I'm doubtful that it will be a hit. But as always, Mango make nice dresses. Both long and short ones. My favorite is a simple grey maxi dress in cotton and polyester with racer-back and discreet pattern that melt in with the color.

The jewelries are great this season! It's ethnic and seems to be very inspired of nature; necklace with a fox, lion, seahorse.. earrings that looks like shells, flowers... The rings has stones in the typical spring/summer colors--coral and turquoise, but even in black and brown. Metal meet stone and wood. And... there are tassells in metalchains.

These are my favorites:

 

 I like the upgraded style of the bags, with the metal  Mango logo.

   

I'm just telling ya! You need to visit Mango soon! In store or online.
