Don't wake me up

2012-05-23 @ 05:35:47


This bedroom looks so soothing and I love the fact that it's free from clutter that just steals energy... 

Another early morning. I had such a hard time falling asleep last night, so haven't got too much sleep. Thankfully it's a beautiful day out there and the sun is shining from a clear blue sky. It helps, that's for sure.

Hope you're having a good Wednesday ahead of you! I'm leaving you with this great song (with a title that's more than suitable this early morning) that's been playing again and again in my casa. Enjoy!

Screw bracelets

2012-05-22 @ 23:59:47


On today's wishlist: these stylish bracelets from Sophie by Sophie. They remind me a lot of Cartier's Love bracelets, but obviously the prices are miles away from each other. These ones are definitely more wallet friendly (890-895 sek).

Can't decide if I like the gold or silver one better... I could definitely see myself wearing both of them!

Princess Estelle

2012-05-22 @ 11:59:43


The Swedish Crown Princess Victoria, Prince Daniel and Princess Estelle.

I'm watching the royal baptism of princess Estelle as we speak. It's a beautiful day in Stockholm and the city is filled with royalties. A festive Tuesday for sure!

While I'm keeping one eye on the tv, I'm also looking at hotels in London. Will get a day there before heading to the states. Tickets are almost booked. Yay! :-)

This week's blog

2012-05-21 @ 18:53:41



This week you can find me on blogg.se's front page. Thanks for having me featured! :-)

Wrap it!

2012-05-21 @ 18:42:38


My craft drawer.

I'm going to Norway next week to spend some quality time with my sister and her family. She's the type of person who is super generous and always brings the perfect, most well thought of, gifts. To top it all off, she wraps them beautifully too! What comes around must goes around, right?

For the mum:




The white "lace" ribbon is from Lagerhaus, as is the wrapping paper. Love the Tiffany blue colour!


Polka dotted wrapping paper from Lagerhaus. Silk ribbon from Søstrene Grene.


A bag of jewellery. The bracelet is from Dayaday (Barcelona) and the earrings are from a small store at Avinguda del Portal de l'Àngel (Barcelona).


Close up! Should have got myself a pair of these darlings too!

For the baby:




Pink theme. Wrapping paper from Dollar Store, silk ribbon from Søstrene Grene. The tag is made by me.


Hair clips (Barcelona).

Sunny Monday

2012-05-21 @ 13:21:55


In Barcelona 1,5 week ago.

It's such a beautiful and warm day today. The weather is too nice to spend inside, so I'm going to grab my book soon and go out to read it in the sun. Lovely! 

Will be back with updates later! Now: sunblock, collect my things and have a date with the sun.

Golden

2012-05-20 @ 22:58:39



Thought I would share a picture of my new quilted bag from Mango (the price was €20). The size is perfect and I like the fact that it has a chain, as I like to keep my hands free. 


In my paper bag.

The Spanish's Mango stores are soooo different from the one we have here in Stockholm. Their stores are filled with tons of goodies and the items are so neatly displayed. Could easily have gone bananas in there!

Unpacked!

2012-05-20 @ 13:14:52



Today I finally managed to unpack the last things from Barcelona. Found a bag from Zara where I found a cute little something for my baby niece. Just need to remember to wrap it before I go to Norway! :-)

Fab bedroom!

2012-05-19 @ 23:48:08



This bedroom is gorgeous, don't you think? The overall style is simple, but the details are delicate. It's just one of those rooms that ooze harmony while having that luxury feminine feeling to it!

Today's tip!

2012-05-19 @ 00:06:10



These glasses has become very popular lately, and I can definitely see why! Being as elegant and classy as they are, they would be more than welcome to join my collection of glassware.

Lagerhaus is currently offering a 30% discount on all glasses. These lovelies will only be 175 sek for a collection of 6 glasses! The offer is valid till May 30th! :-)

In two weeks

2012-05-18 @ 12:07:00


Such an unhappy little face... my heart is melting!

In two weeks I'll be going to Norway to meet my little niece Olivia. Or Livan or Livan-Li as she usually goes by. Poor thing won't know what her real name is! 

Anyway, she'll be 6 weeks by then and I'm already freaking out that she'll be TOO big. Thankfully my sister is pretty good at posting pictures of her on Facebook, so at least I can see how she developes day by day.

Headboard

2012-05-17 @ 23:53:12



I really like the metal headbord! It's has such an interesting touch and was created from a metal scrollwork that were covered with brushed silver paint. Looks gorgeous!

Evening stroll...

2012-05-16 @ 22:51:15


Me with a very messy hair...

This day has just been long and quite depressing. I don't happen to be one of those who enjoys "coming back home". It's always like this and it's comforting to know this feeling will pass shortly.

Anyway, I'm glad my friend is still here, sharing the grey mood with me (isn't that a true friend?). We had pizza and watched a movie. I swang by F's place real quickly and then took an evening walk with Malin. The late walk in a Summer rain actually cheered up the mood a lot. It's sooo beautiful out there right now. Love the fact that Summer is around the corner! :-)

Pics from today

2012-05-15 @ 23:09:14



A few pictures from this morning. We strolled down a few blocks from the hotel, grabbed a coffee at a café and just enjoyed our last hours in Barca. I already miss that city and can't wait to go back!


Just look at the amazing buildings! They are all so decorative and gorgeous, a true sight for sore eyes!


€1,50 for a big cup of good coffee... I can live with deals like that!



Now we're back in Stockholm and reality. At least the sun was shining when we arrived this evening. That cheered up the situation a little.

Check out

2012-05-15 @ 11:02:49


Carb love!

It's time to check out from our beloved hotel. Our flight is departing 2:50 PM from El Prat, so still have a few hours to kill. Need to find a mail box to post those post cards that I quickly had to write this morning.

I would love to stay a few more days, but reality is calling. Thank Godness we're going towards Summer at home and that I'm having another four weeks of vacation to look forward to. Also have a few trips to look forward to: Norway in two weeks, Finland in three weeks and the U.S. in July. Good times!

Adios loves!

Glossy gloss

2012-05-15 @ 10:01:49



I am obsessed with lip glosses. I usually wear the ones from Victoria's Secret, but added this gloss from Sephora the other day. Smells like candy and is super shiny on. Like it!

W Hotel

2012-05-15 @ 09:59:32


Me in a new dress from Mango.

Our last night here was just perfect. Had a super delish paella for dinner (with a big pitcher of sangria of course)and topped it off with drinks at W Hotel. The view is spectacular from there!


Mojito love.


Amazing view!

Last night in Barca

2012-05-14 @ 20:29:07


Out and about last night...

We've reached our last night in Barcelona. Am planning on heading to Hotel W for a drink, and get a delish dinner somewhere afterwards. I'm wearing a new dress that I bought today, will show pictures later! :-)

Hope the week has started off great!
