Faves of 2016

Hello all,
I hope you are doing well, and I hope that 2017 has started off in a brilliant way for you!

I have a hormonal disease known as Hashimoto's thyroiditis that leaves me feeling really crap at times, and this last week has unfortunately been like that. I'm thinking about writing a post only about that at some point, but for now, I just wanted to let you know that I'm not doing so well, so new content will have to wait.

But I have been seeing that a lot of bloggers make a little summary post about their favourite outfits of the past year in January, so I'm doing that! Here are my 10 favourite outfit posts (+ 1 baking post, and 2 extra photos) of 2016.

The past year started really well for me, and I posted quite a few outfit posts. My favourite of January would have to be this one:


I wore a beautiful velvet dress from Book of Deer that I just adore, with an icy grey bow with embroidered bears, and a rose gold zipper. Ugh it's to die for.


In February I had my 25th birthday and my favourite post from that month is the post with my birthday cake:


However, my favourite outfit post of the month was this one:


Once again I wore Book of Deer (wouldn't be the last time), this time the perfect winter's dress. And I topped it all off with specs!


In March you'd think that Spring would make an appearance but it didn't (not in northern Sweden anyway), so I continued to photograph my outfits indoors. My favourite was yet another Book of Deer dress:


This dress is stunning and with it's embroidered magpies it is a really unique and quirky dress. I added saddle shoes to complete the look.


April came and I wore berets a lot. This is my favourite outfit from April:


I wore a Dear Creatures dress, and have since then heard that there is no more Dear Creatures, which makes me sad. But I'm glad I've got this lovely dress to remember them by. The red accents really made this outfit.


May was perhaps the best month yet - I had my 1 year blogiversary, and celebrated by hosting a giveaway together with Book of Deer.


I wore a stunning summer dress from BoD with the cutest pattern, and headed outdoors to snap the photos (finally some sun and warmth).


My favourite outfit from June is this one:


I wore my first ever vintage dress, and I loved it!


July came by and I wore Windram Design:


This dress and the petticoat I wore it with made me feel and look like a cupcake. It was fantastic!


In August the country is at its greenest and everything is beautiful.


I wore an old Miss Patina dress, with a hat from ModCloth as I went poké-hunting.


September was an exciting month for me!


I went on my holidays to London, I saw Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, as well as some other awesome plays and musicals. I met with Andini from Adventures of an Anglophile, and Nora from NoraFinds, as well as meeting BoD creator Eilidh. Best month ever!!!

The gorgeous and beautiful Andini and I, on the Millennium Bridge (the Harry Potter bridge). Look at her awesome outfit!! That hat!

The ever-stunning Nora looking ridiculously classy, the ethereal beauty Eilidh dressed in an own design, gorgeous as ever, and I.


In October and November I was very lousy at blogging, and I didn't get one outfit post worth mentioning posted. But in December, at the very end of 2016, I went out with a bang, and an awesome outfit (if I may say so myself).


I discovered the brand Tatyana, and wore this incredible skirt for New Year's Eve.


And that was my year in outfits!
Hope you enjoyed this post, I personally loved looking back at the year in style.

Much love,

Silly nilly


Hello lovely people!
I hope you are all doing great. I'm posting this a bit earlier than I had planned, but it's because I couldn't sit on this outfit any longer, I love it so!!



This dress from Dear Creatures (that I got via ModCloth) is one of my favourite dresses. It's business on the top and party on the bottom. I adore how it is classic and quirky at the same time. I love all the little details, and I enjoy wearing it so much. I especially like wearing it with red accents, which I have here.





One of the red accessories I had in this outfit was my red beret. On instagram (@curlsncakes), I asked if wearing a beret indoors was silly?



I got plenty of kind and nice answers saying that it wasn't silly and to go for it.
I did go for it, and wore it all night for a party that took place indoors. And I didn't feel silly at all. But I came to the conclusion that if you wear something you feel comfortable in, even if it is a little bit silly, it won't matter. You have to wear what makes you feel great, without minding what others think. And so I did, and it was all fine.


Beret: ModCloth (old)
Dress: Dear Creatures via ModCloth (old)
Cardigan: ModCloth (here)
Tights: Primark
Heels: ModCloth (here)



So from now on I'll wear berets more often - even indoors.

Much love,
