Keep your head up

Tröja - Wera, blus - H&M trend, halsband - vintage. 

En helg i pluggandets tecken, men nu ska vi faktiskt 

ta på gympapjuxen och ge oss ut på en liten utflykt i vårsolen.

Tjipp

Girl laying down

Kjol - GRANIT, Väska - Vintage. Skor - ASOS.com. Jeansjackan är Levis, 

den köpte jag i en underbar Second hand butik i Paris för något åt sedan. 

Jag utmanade vårvintern i dag och tog på mig jeansjackan när
jag gick hemifrån i morse (natt) vid fem-tiden. Dessutom utmanade 

jag mina hälar när jag tog på mig mina helt nya skinnskor. Jag tänkte att 

jag skulle gå försiktigt till bussen, alltså smyga fram, och sedan trippa 

mellan tåg och buss för att sen kunna strosa runt på mässan i ett par 

något ingångna skor. 

Dock är jag en tidsoptimist personifierad och var, så klart, 

lite sent ute för att hinna med bussen till centrum. Det resulterade i att

jag sprang halva vägen ned. När jag äntligen kastade mig in på tåget så

gjorde det lite lagom ont i mina bultande fötter. När jag sen skulle 

ställa mig upp efter en kvarts tågresa dog jag lite av smärta.

Summan av kardemumman, jag strosade i strumplästen 

på Centralen, mina hälar förlorade utmaningen men jag vann

helt klart kampen mot vintern för fokus låg på skavsår istället för

kalla armar. I mitt huvud hade jag i alla fall roligt åt att det här 

är en typisk parodi på mig själv. Om än något extrem.

Sen mötte jag upp Nancy och vi hade en riktigt effektiv 

tågresa då vi bestämde vår färgskala till kollektionen och hann 

gå igenom massa frågetecken. Väl i Borås möttes vi av en taxi-chaufför

som bjöd på resan eftersom han egentligen körde färdtjänst. Vilket

välkomnande! Sedan tog vi en kaffe på Wayne's och när butikerna

öppnat en halvtimme senare så köpte jag ett par nya skor.

Skavsårsplåstren på och jag nästan svävade fram. 

Hela vägen till mässan där vi träffade massor med bra kontakter 

och hittade grymma tyger till kollektionen. Där fick vi dessutom hänga 

in i garderoben gratis eftersom vi inte hade kontanter med oss. 

Underbara Borås-bor! När vi kom ut tittade solen fram och vi 

vandrade iväg till tåget igen.

Nu blir det te och mackor med min stora älskling,

sen ska jag välförtjänt krypa ned i sängen och sova djuuupt.

Hej så länge.

P.S. Pappa: Ja, jag skulle kanske haft vinterjackan, eventuellt 

långkalsonger och inte skjutit upp skavsårsomplåstrandet till 

morgondagen. Tack för all omtanke men jag verkar aldrig 

lära mig av din vishet D.S.

Back in the game

A summery of yesterdays activities:
Went out for some second hand shopping, 220 SEK for
all the things up to the right including the neck lace to
the left. Pic from the apartment with two dancing queens.

I had an awsome night yesterday, my sister is just the

best and we have so much fun together, probably because 

we have such similar minds. Perhaps not that strange 

being raised by the same parents and all.

My friend Sofia invited us to a lovely dinner,

she's one of those friends who always teach me something

new about cooking. Yesterday she served a sauce to the food 

which was SO good, with lots of ginger in it. Yum! I just 

have to steel that recepy next time we meet.

We left the dinner early because we were going out 

to see the band Little Dragon, who I really like. But when

we sat on the subway we felt like we'd made a bit of a mistake 

because we've had such a fun time with Sofia and Linn. 

Anyways, when we got to the gig it was a line with people
for about 100 metres and really freezing outside so we just
left and went back to the apartment, where we had lots of fun,
sipping on cinnamon whiskey surrounded by great people.

Thanks' mum and dad for giving us such free wills,

and to be able to follow our guts intsead of what's planned.

Hugs!

The way that I do

 

Yesterdays'. Dress - Samsoe & Samsoe, blouse - H&M trend, necklace - Kappahl.
The ring with hearts on it is a symbol for the "landscape" Västerbotten in the
north of Sweden. Where I have my roots.

Today I've written some chores on a bunch of home made post-it's.
I'll put them on the inside of my closet door and take down one by one
as I've finished a task. Feels like it could be healty to apply some
self-fulfilling considering my many to-do's right now. I'll show you
some pic's of my post-it-plan later.

Now it's time for coffee, some urgent phonecalls and to compile our 

market research. It's on!

Have a nice one!

See the sun

Yesterdays'. Knitted sweater - H&M, scarf - Kappahl, jeans - Cheap Monday.
The blouse and coat are second hand.

I've been quite busy for the last couple of days. Todays meeting 

with Nancy was awesome! I love hanging with her and our meetings are 

more like pep-talks which gives me lots of energy to put into the work.
We've made a plan for the first months now so I'm excited about getting
to it again.

The dream is really starting to progress and next week we'll 

try to finish the business plan. Another thing going on next week is 

Stockholm Fashion Week so we'll be there for some sneak peaking as well. 

I'll give you more updates later to night but now it's time for some 

tea and the last pieces of apple pie. 

Have a nice day!

The outdoor type

Yesterdays as well as todays outfit. Knee highs - Åhléns, wool poncho - Bettina, 

shoes - Nilson, gloves - Hestra.

We're spending another day outside in the awsome winter weather.

Patterns

TopShop - Spring collection

Speakig of patterns. Had to make a quick post, I just fell over Topshops'
spring collection.

Just my taste and what I'd like to wear this spring. Yum!

Flowers in the morning

Blouse - Sisters, watch - TISSOT. Cardigan and shawl is second hand. 

I was longing for mixed prints when I woke up this morning.

The fashion during the 80's and 90's was so experimenting but
I hate how lots of the clothes from back then fits, not that

flattering I must say. Like the balloon-pants that everyone put 

on their kids back then. It's almost scary how ugly they were. 

Otherwise we've a lot to learn from those centuries. To dare!

Bye bye winter and black & white and hello springtime, pastels 

and mixed patterns. Looking forward to it! To force my self out

of the black clothes I almost always put on.

We did, by the way, find some goodies at the shopping trip
yesterday and I also have an upcoming (very exciting) meeting,

share you later!

Saeglópur

My outfit today. Blouse - Lindex, cardigan - COS, belt - second hand.

We are going out for some second hand shopping and a fika, as we 

say in Sweden. Me and my mum are exploring some ideas for a possible

project together. There's a lot cooking right now and I like it.

Äppelöga

Gwen Stefani

I'd love to wear a looong black trench like Gwens' this spring!

Fruit tree

Todays'. Blouse - Sisters

I am longing for summertime and sand between my toes. So today me 

and A will meet up with some friends at Kungsholmen and have a swell 

bathtime, but in a swimming pool inside of course! 

The world keeps turning

Today I'm wearing this dress, love it!

Workning and eating lenten buns, I'll share my progress with you later on today.

Have a nice afternoon.

- En plan är i sin enklaste form en lista med allt som behöver göras för att förverkliga en idé -

Welcome to the jungle

Todays'. Tights and tee - Gina Tricot, letters - Panduro,
cardigans' and bracelet - second hand.

I got stuck in the household today. We started to clean up the bedroom then 

washed and folded some clothes. We've had our hands full with A (our daughter) 

aswell, she's kind of (read VERY) kranky because she's not allowed to suckle at 

daytime any more. Poor thing. I have a hard time giving it up too but 

hopefully she's not our last baby.

All this got in the way for the things I'd planned to do. But that's okay, 

some days are just less productive than others. There's one thing I accomplished 

today though. I've signed up for a course in gesture drawing. Yeey! 

Now I'll continue the crochet that I started to work on yesterday. It's a pair 

of slippers for our lovely friends little baby who's expected any day now.

See you!

Here's to the future

Todays outfit. Coat - H&M (on sale), watch - Casio, scarf - vintage.

We've been at the grocery store this evening and, believe it or not, just
started to deal with the cupboards. I believe that we're probably one of the
best teams ever. He's kind of great, my love!

Sudden rush

Tee - Weekday, brow colour - Make up Store

I've had a great day with my family. Our girl has been sleeping for quite 

a while now and we'll go to bed soon too. I just got this huge craving to look at 

houses that's for sale. Cuddle on the couch and fantasise about our future home.

Tomorrow I intend to by myself a weekly-planner and to keep on

brooding about the end of my book.

Sleep tight.

The sword and the pen

Todays'. Tee - frk, cardigan - COS, necklace - a christmas gift from my sister,
LOVE it and her!

I've been fighting with the end of my story for hours now and I just don't 

seem to get it spot on. It's probably one of those things that need time to fall 

into place. But I'm impatient as usual and wants to proceed right away. 

You see, I've always been like this. Kind of restless. But during this very 

last year I've actually started to accept two facts: Some things just has to take 

some time and others may not turn out exactly as I've imagined. Or both 

but that's life and I have to deal with it to develop!

Have a nice week-end.

The best habit for a fresh start to the next:
I make the bed, take a shower and shave my legs. Just love crawling into bed
with legs like silk and the smell of fresh laundrey.

Outfit. Dress - Samsoe & Samsoe, necklace - Lindex, lipstick - Pink Punch.

Night out with sis'. 

Children of the revolution

http://popupshop.net/kids-clothes

I just love love love children's wear that are unisex. These basic clothes from 

Popupshop are just my taste, lovely shapes and colours! 

On top of the great design all their clothes are made of organic fabrics and they

have a vision of being an affordable and natural choice for modern basics. As well

as making fair products for both customers and the people involved in producing 

their clothes. I think that our little girl would enjoy playing in their onepiece. 

Januari is kind of a poor month for us but I'd love for her to have one of those. 

We'll see about that.

I'll post the other pic's (I've promised to show you) later. Now I have to prep a 

meringue for the Pavlova that we'll have for dessert later.

Have a nice one!

Après Moi

Yesterdays' outfit. Cardigan - H&M, tee - Filippa K, belt - COS,
jeans - Cheap Monday, necklace - the tower used to hang on a key chain.
I bought it when visiting "La Tour Eiffel".

Bite the bullet

My outfit today is mostly second hand. 

Glasses - Ray Ban, shoes - Nilson, fake fur - H&M

I've already told you I've made plans for tomorrow. I'm going to meet a friend for lunch
to discuss a project that we'll work on. She has great plans regarding a new clothing line
and asked me to help her. 

It will probably be a lot of hard work during this spring but I love the idea of being

a part of her dream and help her to develop it into something bigger than just ideas
on a paper. We'll see how far it goes but it all begins tomorrow, starting with
the business idea.

So long
