Hope you’re having a wonderful Friday! I’m spending my friday working on a wiki for work, having a really good champagne that a colleague gave me earlier this spring and listening to Elvis! Have a wonderful weekend!!

I have so much clothes and since I’m a horder by nature (+ mostly buy things that I really really love and never want to part with) my wardrobe is filled with little gems. Some of them I love more than others for various reasons. Why don’t you have a little look:


My Marc by Marc Jacobs shoes. I love these to bits…bought them AGES ago from a friends friend. They were second-hands but had only been worn a few times. I’ve gotten so much wear out of these and they’re still my favorite shoes!

My mom and I are almost the same size (actually she’s smaller) and we always swap clothes. She gave me a bunch of Sonia by Sonia Rykiel sweaters that she’d grown tired of once and this one is my favorite!! I think it looks whimsical and girly

I seriously dreamt about this Minimarklet sweater for a long time and then when Tres Bien shop had a sale I finally got my hands on it. Wearing it with cropped tapered pants makes me feel like a dorky 6th grader. I love it!

When I like something I tend to go a bit overboard and clothing is no different. I have this twisted Dagmar skirt in so many models/colors I’m ashamed to admit it. I think it’s a classic though and although I haven’t worn them for over a year I know I’ll always get back to them.

This is probably one of my most precious pieces of clothing. I found it on sale at APC and have been in love with it ever since. It’s been with me to some pretty amazing places and I love how it makes me feel like a pre-schooler when worn with brogues/Mary Janes, white tights and a little skater-dress.

This was orginally a dress that I found at the Melrose Trading Post (fleamarket on Fairfax Avenue in LA) around 4 years ago. It was such a darling dress with the perfect late 60′s/start 70′s mini-dress. It had a giant whole in it though that I covered up to start with…after a few years though I had to give up and have it shortened into a blouse.

I bought this Velvet Bird dress last year and it’s the best summer dress I’ve ever owned. It has a childrens clothing-like shape, is super comfortable and is just connected with a lot of good memories.

I found this vintage dress in my wardrobe a few weeks back. I think it’s actually a nightie but I use it as a dress with a belt…who cares what it is…as long as it’s pretty.

This vintage sailor dress still manages to put a smile on my face every time that I wear it. I got it at a vintage store in Berlin around 8 years ago and I still wear it every other week or so. It has a coffe-stain and although it’s annoying it gives it character

This Dear Creatures dress was my first DC dress. I fell so hard for the aestethics the first time I heard about the brand and it’s still one of my favorite brands to this day.

Lately I’ve been feeling a bit down and a bit freaked out from the pressure of things building up. I’m taking one day at a time though and focusing on saving money, having fun and reading!

Here’s a few things that has put a smile on my face recently:

Have you tried making cold brew coffe at home? It’s seriously the easiest! Use a french press, use your favorite ground coffe and pour cold water in (about 1/3 of what you would normally use for your hot-coffe). Stir and let it sit in room temperature for around 30 min while you stir. Make sure you get the coffe completley “wet”, put it in the fridge and use for ice-lattes/ice-coffe after 8 hours. The taste is so intense, yet mild and not acidic at all.

Stealing flowers from the park! Nothing reminds me of my parents, my childhood and swedish springs as much as lilacs. I love their smell!

I started reading On the road in swedish…it’s not as good of course but still pretty amazing. I’m sure I will be very dissapointed by the film when it comes out but I’m still dying to see it. This book changed my life so much when I read it the first time. I still have a slight crush on Dean Moriarity Reading this has such a soothing effect on my worried and stressed out mind right now. It’s totally okay to be a Sal Paradise and to have a restless-soul. The most beautiful sentences I know are these from the book:

“and I shamled after as I’ve shamled all my life after people who interest me, because the only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirious of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say commonplace things, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes Awww!

When I was in Amsterdam I fell in love with this Travel Journal from Moleskin….

I’ve started filling it out and pasting pictures . I love it so much!

I hope to fill it with stories from amazing places!

Getting brunch on a particulary bad weekend morning is always good!

Grape-fruits always make me smile

In April I returned from an amazing week back in Sweden, cursed the neverending rain and then finally welcomed springs first blossoming trees with open arms. In April I got bored, had a calvados made on swedish apples so expensive I almost fainted and recieved a lot of packages. In April I went on my own little adventures, bought a book on Photography, hesitated a lot, wore a lot of collars, played bingo and got dissapointed to the point of being silly when I didn’t win anything….again!

In April I promised myself I wouldn’t buy anything expensive and went straight out and bought myself a Dixie Grey dress (no backbone at all). In April I dug out my white tights, took a lot of pictures with my Diana camera, did reverse french-manicures with minty tips and spent time in the sunshine with friends. In April I had old-school sodas, a lot of berries and endless amounts of cold-brew ice-coffe (yummy)

In April I got a bit stressed out but realized it’s never worth it, had a bit of a relapse but made renewed efforts to seperate private and work. In April I tried to cut down on my coffe-intake, got severe withdrawal and gave up…I guess I’m trapped in the claws of caffeine forever.

In April I discovered how delcious apricot-bread from my local bakery is, worked on an exciting project with 3 beautiful and talented scandinavian blogger-girls, had a visit from my mom and then went on a fantastic trip with her to Amsterdam. April was also the month that I discovered the amazing app Wander and now I  guide people from the other side of the world around in Copenhagen on a daily basis (how amazing is that?). In April I lost a dear colleague and got very sad and felt helpless.

In April my wander-lust was awakened with new and increased force and I was reassured once again that I’m born to travel. In April I suddenly made peace with polka-dots and got a bit overly obsessed with them (when it comes to clothes there’s no grey-scale for me). In April I bought a blue beret, missed Sweden a lot, saw some beautiful sunrises and sunsets and pondered over the meaning of life, of happiness and of the way I want the next couple of years to be.

Although I truly love my Canon 550 D there is something about that feeling of analog-cameras, and especially toy-cameras, that I just love! I love the unpredicatbility, the messy blurry aestethics and the whole experience. This weekend I’m picking up pictures that I sent in for developing last weekend! I’m especially excited to see how my redscale film turned out!! Promise to show you if any of them turn out ok later! Apart from that I’m going to spend the weekend hanging out with friends and relaxing as much as humanly possible
What are your weekend plans?
