IT feels THIS good too have the finals over! And it actually felt like I did pretty well. Today I have a really fun meeting, and tomorrow its the finalé of Körslaget, so I'll be there all day.
dovima
WITH ELEPHANTS. Those of you who follow this blog, know about my obsession with elephants, and if you know that you would likely be aware of my admiration towards E-bay. Put two and two together (and Richard Avedon on the side) you get what I'm holding in my hand. Fantastic photograph shot by Richard Avedon in 1955 of Dovima at the circus. Dovima was a model in the fifties, scouted on the streets of New York, and here she wears the first dress that Yves Saint Laurent designed for Dior. It's the second piece of interior i've bought for our new apartement and alas is so far the best :)
moschino
THE CLASSIC MOSCHINO belt has been popping up both here and there lately. Definantly something on the fashion radar. Other than that i wanted to show you guys this editorial for Harpeers Bazaar US may issue. The return of the 80's power woman. The shoulders, the light, the exagurated silhuette.
And with the hair and makeup it all breathes of an 80's Vogue editorial. The model is Barbara Palvin shot by Benjamin Alexander Huseby.
camel coat
FOUND this camel coat from Kookaï when i cleaned out the basement on Saturday. And i do believe its yours Hanna? I remember when i borrowed it for a job interview five years ago. It was early spring and freezing, well atleast for me, and i didn't have any winter clothes as i'd just moved back from Melbourne. Fortunantly it didn't land me the job, otherwise i'd been working as a receptionist and i probably wouldn't have met my fantastic boyfriend. So now i have my coat set for fall, Hanna holler when you want it back. And please come home from San Francisco soon, today the weather was perfect for rosé at Lisa på Torget, the only thing missing was you.

DETAILS from friday. Really love that necklace!
yves saint laurent
VINTAGE. Got this today. It was just hanging there, at Myrornas Skanstull (a really shabby thirft store), 300SEK and it was mine! I've been looking for a cobalt blue blazer for awhile. And the gold buttons make it oh so perfect. Can you tell how lyrical I am over this? This Monday just got a whole lot better.
Oh, won't you please take me home
THAILAND. My sister is there right now, at our beautiful villa. She was supposed to come home eight days ago, but due to the ash she had to stay put. Next available flight turned out to be May 3rd. I don't even think i have to write that I'm jealous. I miss my saltwater pool, my princess bed, the sound of waves, the buzz of mosquitos, the humidity, my kitten mimmi (who's not a kitten anymore) and of course my fantastic mama and daddy!
put your lovin' hand out, baby
NEW RINGS! Picked up a pack of 5 rings at H&M when i bought the coat. Five rings for 39.50 SEK. Now thats a deal!
I gave two away however, so the three on my middle finger are part of the pack. One elephant ring, one with a peacock feather band, and one simple gold band.
The two on my ringfinger, are gifts, the lower one is a double gold band from Cartier and the givenchy pattern is vintage.
blanche
VOGUE MEXICO. This is beautiful, simple and clean and i love the use of the sea as the background. Dutch Dewi Driegen looks absolutley stunning, and who would have guessed shes a quarter Indonesian from these shots or rather at all? Cool. I love people with mixed races, there something about it that so fascinating to me.
Ridin' high, when i was king
STOCKHOLM is beautiful this time of year, and its only bound to get better with summer around the corner.
it's cold around me, the night is young
LAST NIGHT. Had dinner at Patricia's and then drinks at Le Bar Rouge. But damn it was cold, so i had to run into H&M Götgatan and buy a jacket. Result above. 200 SEK on sale. Down from originally 800.

spring twenty ten
SNOW! It actually snowed on my way to work. Ok they were teeny, tiny specs, but still its the 21st of April and all i want is spring spring spring and to be able to dress like the above!
I want to dress in patterns, colors and prints. Not so much the nude, beige and earthy tones, i think i may have gotten my fair share of that already. Bring on the colors (!), or maybe it's this editorial that's left its influential mark on me. Either way I'm staying away from blacks & greys.
pack your backpack
AMAZING how much crap you save with time. Yes i've started packing boxes for the move. Holy moley gaucamole! And i just sold whole lot off stuff at the flea market a few weeks back , still it accumulates! Oh and i just love this job shot by Mario Testino for Vogue UK back in March 2008. It's jobs like these i wanna style in the future. Colorful, cultural, and cool!
Beautiful morning
SUNSHINE SUNSHINE! How happy does it not make you! I started the morning with a walk around my hood, stopped by my sisters for a coffee on the terrace and payed her bills (Yep, shes stuck in Thailand, for another two weeks due to Eyjafjallajokull, oh well guess you could be stuck in worse places.) And in less than two weeks, yes 13 days, we have the keys to our new place and our HUGE terrace! Cannot fucking wait! (Please excuse my french).

around the world
ADVENTURE. It's been a couple of months now since I've was abroad and i haven't spent this great a part of winter in Stockholm for years. My new years commitment this year was to visit 5 new countries 2010. I've done one so far. So i better speed it up. I'd love some sun and warm climate, but what I'm really curious about is an adventure trip. I wanna trek in a jungle, do adventure sports, travel down a river by boat, see fasinating animals and reptiles. And a new cultures. So for now, i'm competing here.
//Aventyr! Det var ett par månader sedan jag var utomlands nu, och mitt nyårs löfte för 2010 var att besöka 5 nya länder. Hitills har jag hunnit med ett, det är alltså dags att raska på. Jag är sugen på äventyr, jungel, utmaningar, nya främande kulturer och vackra djur. // Så för tillfället är jag med och tävlar här!

I love it and can see myself in this matched with a loose white tee or olive green shirt, leather jacket and my new Sergio Rossi heels which should be arriving tomorrow! Thoughts?

ALOHA HAWAII! This maxi skirt came home with me the other day from the thrift store, at first i was sceptic towards whether i could make this work and if it weren't to much Hawaii over it, but then i figured what the hell, a white tee, sandals and a jean jacket and i'm ready for spring! You like? Oh and the price, 85 SEK.

the sunny side
ALRIGHT ONE LAST THING I just have to say how f-ing good isn't SOLSIDAN? For you international readers, you won't have a clue what I'm on about but it's this swedish sitcom based on this area of stockholm where i grew up before i moved to Thailand at the age of 8. And i just have to say it's so right on! Do the rest of you find it as hilarious or is it just me since it's such a good portrayal of the way people are there? Solsidan means roughly in english The Sunny Side. Ok now Good Night!
laugh with me
LAUGHTER IS THE BEST MEDICINE! Picture from the weekend before last when i had to off my bestest here. Johannes and I have known each other since we were 13. We grew up in Thailand together, he now lives in Germany. Before he came to visit, we hadn't seen each other for 7 (!) years. But it was as if time had stood still, besides the fact that we're a little older, have jobs, and no longer spend weekends drinking cheap thai whiskey and weekday afternoons at Studio 22 playing pool instead of studying for our IB exams. Friends like him are worth more than all the Sangsom Buckets and Moo Ping in Thailand! (And i really love my sangsom and moo ping!)

LANCÔME did my make up for my 25th two weeks ago. Jeez time flies!
sergio rossi
YEAH! I just bought these. Aren't they fab? So found them yesterday at theOutnet, and just as i put them in my shoppingbag and logged into my bank account to transfer money, someone else bought the last pair of size 39! Needless to say i was devestated. I mean they're perfection! They feel like the pair of shoes i've been searching for years to find! So as you all know E-bay is my best friend (it may not be reciprocal) and there they were, and I even managed to bargain. Yes you can do that sometimes on E-bay! Make an offer, i managed to cut 100 dollars off! How sweet? I ♥ E-bay! You like?

hansel and gretel
BRAID LIKE A MAID! I'm was so sick of my hair this morning, i really need to cut about 4" off but it brakes my little heart, everytime i go to the hairdressers i think 'Ok this time I'll let them cut a big chuck off', but i always change my mind last minute. Why is hair such a sensitive issue? So this morning a did á la Gretel. And my inspiration came from this lady.
How cute isn't my coffee cup? Its from Marimekko, and i want the whole series! Luckily my friend Amm owns the factory that makes all off Marimekko and Iitalas ceramics!
Zac Posen for Target
ZAC POSEN FOR TARGET hits stores across the US on April 25th. Even though i'm tired as hell of collaborations, there are a few key peices here that fell right in time. The Hawaii shirt, the maxi floral dress, the metallic bralets and the red leather jacket! My favourite though, and the one item that will keep me on E-bay on the day of release is the yellow rain coat! It feels like it's something i could really use come Swedish (rainy!) summer!

I've said it before, but i'll say it again my friends and family are the best!

FUN-TASTIC WEEKEND. Styling at Körslaget was so much fun, its like one big happy family over there, and the 13 hour work day passed by in what felt like 3 hours. I came out of there with a whole new perspective on when it comes to working with Television, I've always been so sure that editorials and magazines is the branch i wanna place myself in but with tv its a whole different rush. And all the fantastic people involved in a production as this! And after a long fun filled day i put my best heels on (ok i borrowed from costume) and went out and shaked my boot-ay for another 4 hours! Life is so good right now.
Helene gave us easter eggs as well how cute isn't that? She's just the best, i think.
