That blue dress is SO lovely (and so is the woman wearing it!)

I've never met her but I have a crush on this Swedish girl's looks and taste. She has a blog http://elsa.elle.se and she might be famous, I wouldn't know since I don't watch TV. My mom told me about her.

^^ I feel border-line stalkerish now, but I'm truly obsessed with this girl's blog now! Every single one of her dresses is like my dream frock. Thanks for sharing, CherryLips!
Also, according to this tumblr devoted to her, she's a "blogger for Swedish Elle, a television presenter for SVT, and PR & Press Officer for Beyond Retro".

I think i have a crush on her.

Loving the yellow number, i would look like a huge macaroon if i wore something like that, she looks such a dish.

 

[LinaSofia]

she is lovely, I've read her blog for over 2 years I think. Sometimes her dresses are a bit too short for my personal taste, I have a real thing about 50s dresses being knee-length and not middle of the thigh, but she does always carry off her clothes brilliantly! And I've always loved her red hair.

^I totally agree with you Lina. She's stunningly beautiful, but I think she would be even more so if her dresses were longer and also not so tight. I adore her dresses, but can't get over the fitting aspect.

 

[LinaSofia]

Yeah, I agree about the fit too, they are often verrrry tight! Sometimes I don't get how she is able to sit down... or breathe!

 

[cherry lips]

^She says in her blog that she likes them to fit tight like a glove. I love her body, so I agree with her choice! She doesn't seem to care about a perfect fitting bustline if she loves a dress, which I can understand. She also seems to dislike ironing as much as I do!

 

[rene_writer]

I can see why she picks the fit she does, although I personally wouldn't go that tight. She looks like she has a rather large chest like me and it is a real pain to get clothes that fit. Basically, I need a 2x over my bustline and a size 8 on my waist. So, yeah. Sometimes the bust gets squished and sometimes the waist gets lost, but if I didn't settle I wouldn't have any clothes at all. Anyway, I think she looks great and I am so jealous of her hair color.

Here's a fun interview with Elsa Billgren in which she talks about fashion and puts together four looks (it's in english):

Great article; thanks for sharing!

Apparently she has 500 dresses, and she used to have 1000 but most were lost in a fire... she shames all of us on the "how much is enough" thread! lol
