If everything goes well, I’ll be in Stockholm tomorrow morning. I am broke, sick and I’m not sure if I can buy a ticket on the bus (cause if I can’t I’m screwed), but I am doing all I can to go see my awsome friend, Ida Maria.

I have put up a few posts for the next days so I won’t leave you all alone. I won’t be able to reply any mails or comments though. I should be back on Friday if everything goes by the plan. Or maybe Saturday. See you soon! Thanks for being such wonderful readers.

I thought it was about time to clean up in my sock drawer in hope of making a few discoveries. In there I keep all nice socks (not the everyday socks), stockings, arm warmers, leg warmers and nice gloves. These are all things I love, but when they are all mixed together in a big bundle it’s hard to know what I have not to mention to find what I want when I need it. I’ve often been thinking about putting on a nice pair of knee highs, but it’s too much of a hassle to bother. Hopefully I can put and end to those issues. Here’s what I found:

10 pairs of leg warmers/arm warmers

Tights in 24 different colors (most are still black or brown)

29 pairs of dressy socks

Biggest surprise: A pair of black thigh highs I didn’t know I had.

Biggest disappointment: A pair of black knee highs I know I have but didn’t find.

Lesson learned: I need to find a way to store this stuff so that I can find it when I need it. That way I may end up wearing some of it.

I’ve already expressed my love for leopard and pointed out that the pattern was frequent on the runways. According to Style.com several designers that never used the pattern before jumped on the bandwagon this time. So I thought I’d sum up what we’ve got so far.

The pattern

Especially frequent on coats and skirts. For those of you that think leopard is a bit much you can check out the garments that had only details in leopard, like a pocket.

The bags

Getting a leopard print handbag is probably the easiest way to follow the trend. You can wear it a lot without investing in more than one thing. I have still not found the perfect one but I am going for secondhand. (The first bag is not leopard, but this image was from a post on animal print bags.)

The shoes

It’s so rockabilly to wear leopard heels, especially with a red dress. They add just a touch of the pattern like the bag, but the shoes make it a little more wild. I have ordered a pair on eBay that I hope will fit. For some reason I have found it extremely hard to find leopard shoes as it’s something I’ve been searching years for. Hopefully it’ll be a little easier this fall.
