Swedish Kirsten Larsen Style Faux Fur Mittens

Anyone who knows me well probably has picked up on the fact that I have a small obsession with Sweden. Nowadays Sweden is kind of a trendy place it seems, but my obsession with Sweden started long ago.

Check out my favorite Swedish person on the web, Fillipa Berg.

Like so many of my loves I’ve been recently realizing, my love of Sweden began with my first American Girl doll, Kirsten, a Swedish girl of strength and spirit.

Well, to get to the point, these faux fur mittens remind me of her. I really really want them. They are even trimmed with Swedish ribbon.

“ultra-soft, fully lined, faux fur mittens”.

Hope you like them! Now that I think of it, these mittens remind me of something else as well. The children’s book The Mitten. Have you read it?

Did you have an American Girl doll? I had Kirsten and Addy. What do you think of these mittens?

Currently out of stock but you can sign up to be alerted when it comes back in like I am.

Modcloth.com has some pretty awesome stuff, and I am a huge fan of so many things about their company– their blog, how much they interact with and love fashion blogs, how they like vintage fashions and their creative approach to fashion, how they at least make an effort to identify “vegan friendly” fashions, how easy their site is to use… I could go on and on.

These are two pretty cool leather jackets they have for sale right now. I love the one with the grey hoodie. I like how these fake leather jackets can give you that tough, Grease lightning look.

I used to be a daily reader of Molly Young’s blog Magicmolly.tumblr.com which it seems she has recently deleted!! no!

I saved one post in my googlereader though that captures the essence of a leather jacket that needs to be reblogged here:

How to be  a Bad Girl

Leather jacket, crucifix earring, backward baseball cap

lol. It’s probably somehow tongue in cheek but I like the picture. If only I could find a clip-on crucifix earing (no pierced ears) to wear with my FAUX leather jacket, I guess I would truly be a Badass!

Till next time.
