Wedding reception

Going to a wedding reception today. Which outfit?
Green 50's?
Adam & Eve dress, celebrating early love and sin?

My own wedding dress? Perhaps a faux pas to wear your wedding dress to a wedding?

Also asking for your help.


I might go to a doppelganger party. Do I remind you of anyone famous?
Feeling I wouldn't be the only Tina Fey/Sarah Palin there.

Feel free to bring on your most flattering and unflattering suggestions.
I've heard everything from Madonna, during a phase when she looked quite unlike herself:
to Lovisa Burfitt:
To Zlatan:
I find all these flattering mind you.
Have also gotten BARBARA STREISAND!!!! LOVE THIS!

Me as Babs in my "really, I AM AN AFRICAN WOMAN ON THE INSIDE"-outfit.

Any of these?




Have had the same glasses since 2006. Thinking of getting new ones.
Like any of these?

The face I'm making here is identical to the one I give my children when they don't do as they're told. Incidentally it is also my sexy angry librarian look as I don't know how to make that many faces. Can you feel it?

You know I'm into medieval men


The effort put into making this seem like a normal situation. Two men in matching knitted medieval helmets, covering their ears in a most unflattering way, one adds flair with a blanket around his neck, the other with a poor-mans Madonna gloves.

I can't stop looking at them.

Ps. at same site, found this knitting pattern. I love sweaters like these. Have you seen any non-used, non-handknit around?


Important update. Was wearing this sweater below when I posted this. I always do this - look for clothes I already have.

Dear Flexees,readers


Dear Flexees, I bought your weird yet interesting undergarment a few weeks ago, after the shop girl at NK had told me it was the best one on the market. However, I was bothered by the fact that the skirt part kept riding up, collecting at my waist and adding to a love handle effect I did not wish for. Is it my stride that's too much for your piece? Can a woman only wear it if she's tripping around in high heels, moving at small small paces each time?


There was no warning about this.
Readers, do you have a better suggestion? What's your favorite slip?
My friend Lotta K summed it up best:
"Did your slip ride up? Unforgivable! You should be able to put complete trust in your undergarments, that's what they're for!"

blogging with iPhone?

Which application should I use? My blogs are all Blogger blogs. Can a sentence get more 2009?

I mean, which application should I use to blog on my phone?

Dear Filippa K

Dear Filippa K, the other day I was in yor store trying to find pants and asked the shopgirl for help. I jsut wanted nice pants that weren't jeans. I tried on 4 pairs, they all looked ridiculous.

In the end, the shopgirl even told me "There's nothing wrong with your body. You're completely normal." The sad thing is that someone tells you that, you immediately start to think the opposite. But they're not getting me, my body image is just fine after all the running.

Then, like a fool, I returned a few days later and bought these "Tulip" pants. When I wear them, I feel lke I'm an important art gallerist in, say, Basel or Zürich. But is that enough? Should I keep them? Yes or no? Help.
