Happy Happenstance

My scintillating sister got me this brass knuckle necklace for my birthday. I love the fact that it also happens to be pink, which sort of ups the ridiculous factor. In an awesome quirk of luck I ended up sitting next to a boy in one of my classes who had a brass knuckle tattoo. Moments like that make my day.
Outfit details: cardigan- H&M, dress- ASOS, tights- gift, shoes- H&M, necklace- gift

Just yesterday an amazing little package from Mothersvea arrived. A short while ago she had a little drawing on her site of some of her Polaroids and lucky me, I won! The images are even more stunning in person; I really adore the saturated colors. I don't feel my dorm room does them justice...Thank you Alexandra!

Love polaroids, they make every moment captured so much more magical and filmlike!

Love your hair in the first picture btw

Emily said...

Congrats on winning the contest and receiving such a beautiful prize :)
I have to agree, your hair looks incredible against the painted blue metal. Are you posing in front of a storage unit, perhaps? That's what it reminds me of.

That necklace is killer. I love that the brass knuckles are pink. It's even cooler that you were sitting next to a boy with a brass knuckle tattoo!!

Dooder City said...

You remind me of Jenny Lewis in these photos!

muchlove said...

Nice necklace! I love quirky coincidence moments like those. What are the chances, huh? :)

Diane said...

I love it when little coincidences like that happen!

I also love that dress you're wearing - the dark print is a good contrast with the pink necklace.

Tina said...

cool necklace! loving the dress too!

Twobreadsplease said...

I love your necklace! And sitting next to a brass-knuckle-tattooed boy is such a wonderful coincidence. Clearly, you and the necklace were meant to be.

Kay said...

I love the bottom two polaroids.
The necklace is so good! I think you've made is surprisingly wearable as well

miss milki said...

Have to chime in and say you found an amazing background for your photos today! They're brilliant! Love the necklace - and it was just perfect that you sat beside that guy with the tattoo! Hurray for happy accidents!

copperoranges said...

Divinity Avenue said...

The Polaroids are great! So neat!

and that necklace is hillarious. love it.

Alecca Rox said...

cool polaroids, there's something about this kind of photography...

also, posing in that blue background is so picture-perfect. cool.

*thx for commenting on my last one, slowly i am reaching a conclusion. have been trouble by this matter for quite a while...

Wanderlusting said...

I like it - it doesn't even look like a brass knuckle in pink. It looks like a cute crown or chef's hat!

Raquel said...

oh the necklace sure is quirky! but looks good on you. lovely pictures xx

Eri said...

I want your necklace!

tanya said...

what a fun necklace! I also love that bright blue background your shooting against--it really accents your beautiful red hair!

lisa said...

Your hair and the electric blue dress and the background and the pink brass knucles--I'm in awe of the colour combination.

lopi said...

You are very lucky indeed. Beautiful polaroids.
Am I the only one who thinks that your pretty necklace looks more like a princess crown?

mothersvea said...

WoW that dress is so cute!! I can't belive the photos arrived so quickly!! I belive that has never happend in the history of the italian postoffice!!I'm definately no complaining but it's kind of wierd, I have sent first class letters that arrived months after..anyway I'm really happy you liked them!!

paulistanangelina said...

Oh, my god you look so sweet in this pics. That necklace is perfect to throw some edge into the sweetness.

Lynn Page said...

The necklace is perfect and I love the Polaroids, especially the one with the tiger.

Meg said...

Is this a picture from the past, when did your hair grow?! Your hair and this shade of blue were made for each other, very Joan from Mad Men ;)

plumpdumpling said...

Funny–I used the word "happenstance" in a comment to someone earlier today and thought, "Dammit, I know she's going to steal that word from me and use it all over the place and make everything think she's so wonderful when in fact I am the truly wonderful one."

But it appears that you, too, are quite wonderful.

StrikeMatch said...

Hahahaha, I love ridiculous necklaces and yours is divine.

Rachel C. said...

i had her polaroid sets in my etsy favorites. they're truly striking! glad to hear they're just as stunning in person.

Brigadeiro said...

Congrats on winning those gorgeous polaroids! Loved your pink knuckle-duster necklace (what a lovely sister you have!), and the photos of you against the blue background are just gorgeous! :)

Amelia said...

The color of that dress is fantastic! The polaroids are lovely, too. I'm so envious of all the bloggers who have polaroids lined up on their walls. I'm going to look for some random ones next time I go vintage shopping.

Rebecca said...

Haha, that's kind of awesome! And how exciting that you got some polaroids!

Kelly said...

the pink necklace really pops against all that blue. and the polaroids are lovely

Princess Foofoo said...

I love brass knuckels. I think I will make mine into a necklace. :) Thanks for the inspiration! oh and Happy Hearts Day! :)

great outfit! the brass knuckles offer a great contrast to the prim and proper outfit. i think the best kind of gifts are gifts that the person receiving wouldn't necessarily pick out themselves, but something they defiantly would use or enjoy

WendyB said...

Isn't it wonderful to have a scintillating sister? I have one too.

I'm Philippa O said...

i'm so jealous, i saw yesterday on mothersvea that you won the polaroids. each one is so beautiful!

ana b. said...

What a fantastic set of Polaroids! Very lucky winner. I hope you were able to strike up a conversation with the brass-knuckled tattooed boy - after all coincidences are sometimes so much more ;) Happy Valentines.

Shen-Shen said...

I adore those brass knuckle photos. I can't wait to decorate my dorm room for college, haha.

pretty face said...

TheCrayolaEffect said...

Something about blue on a dress that grabs me, crazily...And I'm not even a fanatic for Depeche Mode. Hah!

Brittany Noel said...

Pink brass knuckles as a necklace! Perfect. Maybe that boy with the tattoo is the true love you say you never had :) Those polaroids are beautiful.

tofuscloset said...

Biru said...

Oh red head!

Those pictures are lovely... things like that make me want to photograph again... but I'm just too tired. :(

Little Bow Prep said...

That dress is terrific.

Dee said...

I love your dress, but I was even more taken with the color of the wall behind you, it's just so vibrant and nice!
Once, when I was in middle school, I made flowers out of pipe cleaners (and they actually sold!), and one day a friend decided to make himself "brass knuckles" that spelled out PIMP out of some of my yellow pipe cleaners. He is so not a pimp.
