Autumn means one thing; mushroom season, and I’ve got an exciting recipe for wild mushrooms that I want to share with you! I come from a family of foragers, so it’s not unusual that I get something crazed in my eye during this time of year. Imagine plenty of walks in the woods searching manically along […]
Spotty for Yayoi Kusama
I first discovered Yayoi Kusana way back in high school. She had an exhibit which filled Stockholm with spots, sparking a life-long interest in her unusual art. Studying psychology at the time, it felt extra poignant to see this artist using her mental health issues to create. For anyone who has not heard of her, Yayoi […]
Love is Love
The horrendous act of violence committed in Orlando towards has resonated throughout the world. It seems impossible, in this day and age, so unreal in its cruelty and the sheer number of victims. The target of the killings somehow shatters our rose-tinted view of the world. We thought we were over this shit. A dark veil […]
Stockholm Vintage Fair 2016
I’ve written a guest post on my Top 10 Tips for Vintage Shopping over at BestofYou, full of my best advice on things to think about and how to be a great vintage hunter. I can’t think of a better time to share my recent trip to vintage heaven, the Stockholm Vintagemässa 2016. Stockholm Vintage fair is […]
Favourite Beetle Shoes
In my birthday post you may have spotted my beetle shoes. I posted about these bad boys nearly two years ago. I had spotted them during a visit to the & Other Stories‘ shop in London and fallen hard. They were too expensive, too perfect to use and they had to be mine. I made a […]
Me and Earl and the Dying Girl
Greg and I watched Me and Earl and the Dying Girl a few months ago. I recommended it before in one of my film club posts and I just had to put it out there again. This film is such a great combo; it has the quirkyness that Wes Anderson fans will enjoy, teenage angst […]
Birthday Weekend
I turned the ripe ol’ age of 27 exactly one month ago today, and the best present was that my London-based best bud and her boyfriend came for a weekend trip! I felt like a happy 5-year old for most of the day which is exactly how one should feel on their birthday. Here is a […]
Current Faves – Time Wasters
I wanted to share some of my favourite time wasters from this past month. Me and Greg are major couch potatoes in the evenings, something which requires a good selection of series to binge on. **EDIT** I forgot to mention my most favourite show of all times, which I just finished watching season 3 of, […]
Cherry Blossoms of Stockholm
In April I made Greg give me a daily update on the status of the cherry blossom trees in Kungsträdgården. He cycles past them on his way to work every day. I usually check on instagram to check if they have started blooming, which they finally had. Trust me when I say that I was […]
Spring Trend – Blue Eyeshadow
Once the girls of Chanel’s spring 2016 collection marched out as pastel bandits it had been decided. Blue eyeshadow is back, and there is no getting round it. You may have already heard several complaints about this trend. It’s understandable. It is a tricky thing to pull off a colour mostly seen in children’s play makeup-sets. […]
Artist – Sarah Benning
I am in love with the work of Sarah Benning. She is a fiber artist living in Spain, who produces bright and cheery house loop embroidery mainly featuring the humble house plants. I would happily have one of these in my bookshelf, or a few in a cluster on the wall like Sarah herself has! Normally I […]
Stockholm Vintagemässa
On the 30th of April Stockholm’s vintage fair is kicking off again. I went last year but never shared the photos (I blame having too much fun) But, this way you can know what to expect if you are planning to go! I went with Linnéa, a fellow vintage aficionado and my Mr. Miyagi when it comes to knitting. […]
Ruffles for Spring
There is no getting away from ruffles this spring. Most of the shops have already got their own takes on these flattering, flowy shapes. Personally I am craving a light blue top to toughen up with some cut-offs, and there are even faint plans in the works to make my own. Until then I am more […]
