The snowflakes are dancing outside my window, it is very pretty, it makes you feel so harmonious. I like the snow, I really do, especially when its about 7 degrees minus and the sun is shining, just like it is today. I’m going to go to the north of Sweden with my boyfriends family in the end of march, and I hope it is going to be the same amazing weather all of that week. …
“Give them Semlor…”
In Sweden we are today celebrating, Fettisdagen, which translated literally means fat Tuesday. On the third Tuesday of February each year Swedish people feast on the whipped cream pastry on the picture, called a Semla. The bun is a cardamon-spiced wheat bun. The top of the bun is sliced of and the insides of the bun is removed and mixed with almond paste and some milk, then placed back into the bun. Topped with whip …
Pretty for the bedroom
It has been a lot of furniture talk the last couple of days, I’m not quite sure why, but I guess that I’m pretty excited about having a house in the future, a house of my own. I want to make it my own place, everything has its place and it is all connected and intertwined in my own special style. The Swedish store Indiska has some really nice things, as well as furniture, like …
Lunch outfit from Halens
I’m meeting Fia for lunch tomorrow and I’d really like to be dressed somewhat spring-y like the clothes in the collage. But since its like minus 3 degrees outside, I think I’ll probably have to wear something more warm or include a pair of really thick stockings, a nice warm scarf, a hat and a pair of gloves. Then the outfit isn’t so spring-y, but its still pretty 🙂 All of the pieces are from …

Mulberry Bayswater
I wish I had unlimited amounts of money, cause if I did I would buy a Mulberry Leather Bayswater bag. Look at it, it is amazing, I love the color of this soft leather, and it is one of those bags that will age gracefully. Its like Sofia and I talked about, when she bought a pair of lovely black leather Ecco boots, that good quality leather goods are an investment for future and for …
Beautiful scarfs!
I just wanted to remind you all of the extremely beautiful scarfs that my mom brought home from Cairo, both Pashmina (70/30 and 100%) scarfs and Cotton scarfs in lots of amazing colors. Check them out maybe you’ll find something you like. Amazing colors and textures. FYI! Of course these scarfs are new and unused in perfect condition. They are a necessity for a woman in this time of year. Send me an e-mail if …
Can I be an Iron chef?
Any one want to play Iron Chef Sweden with me? Have you guys watched Iron Chef (the Japanese version) ? I LOVE this show. It makes me happy. There is nothing about it that is “normal” everything is amazing, funny and strange. For all of you who haven’t see the show it is basically a competition between an Iron chef (4 different chefs that are like gladiators in the kitchen – they each have a …
Pottery Barn
The Pottery Barn has some amazing things that I’d love to have in a future home. Going through their online catalogue I realized I pretty much liked each “room” that they had set up. Doesn’t this mean I should be institutionalized? Yeah, probably. There were a couple of pieces and ideas that I really liked. And I thought I would share them with you. As you might have realized I really like large dark wooded …
