I don’t have many photos from this day since most of it was spent on a great guided tour of Palm Springs’ mid century architecture. Our hotel had (oh so comfortable) bikes to loan so we took a nice bike ride to the Palm Springs visitors center at the very edge of Palm Springs, where our tour started.

We were in a car for the duration of the tour and didn’t really have time for pictures but we saw so many amazing houses, now I really want an Alexander house! I highly recommend taking the Palm Springs Modern tour with Robert Imber if you’re at all into mid century modern architecture.

We got back from our California vacation last night, and I just finished sorting through some photos.

Palm Springs was amazing! We stayed at the wonderful Orbit In which was just perfect. Here are a bunch of pictures, and a few Vine videos, from our arrival and first full day.

Henrik took the above photo when playing around with flash settings. You can see the fabric I mentioned in the 1940s prints post. Below is a little vignette from a shelf.

I’ve been sick and home from work a lot lately, so I took the opportunity to use that time for something I’ve been planning to do a long time, reorganizing my large vintage magazine collection.

I absolutely love organizing so this was fun!

We went to the Stockholm Antiques Fair today and my outfit was very Cover Girl inspired!

Some photos from last night!

I wore a beautiful 30s gown I found by chance for a steal on Blocket, which is a bit like Craigslist I guess. Not a place where you expect to find great vintage clothes.

I’ve been asked very often lately about which lipsticks I use and how I apply them, so here’s a post all about it!

I generally apply all my lipsticks with a brush. I apply once, blot with a tissue, apply again and finally bite off the excess on the tissue (not blot entirely again, just the inside rim of my lips). I don’t use a lipliner. Some very glossy lipsticks may start to run slightly after a whole day of wear but otherwise this method works great for me and my lipstick usually stays on all day with just minor touchups after eating.

Please excuse the increasingly bad lighting in the photos. The sun was setting as I took them.

I bleached my roots yesterday and set my hair extra fancy. Henrik took some pictures of the result!
