It’s been a while since my last post, and I’ve been keeping busy and travelling quite a bit. Now that it’s spring I’ve settled into ordinary life again, and hope to share some of my trips with you soon. In Stockholm the sun has been shining and I’ve been taking advantage of that to every […]

DIY – Lavender Scent Pouch
When I was a child my mother taught me how to make scented pouches for your wardrobe. Yesterday I was out enjoying the long awaited heat wave, and admiring all our furry bumble bees. I spotted some lavender that was bloomed out and was reminded of these pouches. Greg (♥) loves lavender so I figured it […]
Field of Lupins
In June the fields of Sweden turned purple. The lupins had arrived, strong and proud, standing tall like they had always been there. Not that anyone would dare question them. I admired them through the glass as we passed them, driving down thin roads bruised with their purple and blue blossoms. Finally one night, as […]

The pastel haired fairy
A few months back when the sun was shining and my feet were constantly black from going barefoot, I turned into a pastel haired fairy. Over the summer my hair was dip-dyed various shades of pink and lavender and the phases of washing colours out had brought on some interesting shades. This particular day I […]
Birthday Bouquet
It was my mother’s birthday this weekend, so after obligatory cake breakfast, we headed out to a gorgeous garden center called Slottsträdgården Ulriksdal to get some flowers for the garden. They had a pick-your-own garden, for both vegetables and for flowers. And what better excuse for picking your own bouquet than for a birthday! I […]
Wishes.
Topshop have stepped up their game this spring. I’m loving the sheer back on that nude gemstone dress. I also like their embellishing, such as the sequin made flowers and the beaded scallop design used on the cream and light blue dresses. But most of all I so, so, so wish I was a superhero […]
Party like it’s 1940
A few days ago I decided to make this flower out of some tulle I have had lying around waiting for a purpose. I wore it with a favorite topshop blouse and experimented with a darker eye brow with some deep red lips. I quite like it, even though I probably will never wear my […]
Wear summer into winter
I might have posted this a while back, but I don’t care because I love it. I think the skirt is by Peter Jensen. I like him, he makes clothes that I could see worn in the 60s version of Batman or Pushing Daisies. Sorry about lack of posts the last few days, I blame […]
Aliens
When I first saw this photo of Coco Rocha it made me want to paint it. I still might now that I have easter break. But somehow I just felt compelled to make her into some weird alien. She’s still beautiful though..just a little creepier.
