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 […]
What I wore
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 […]
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 […]
The Colour Orange
I have not worn orange for about 10 years. I’m not sure exactly why as my wardrobe is bursting with a rainbow of shades. Orange has just never been that interesting to me. As a hair colour, on the other hand, I have always been a bit obsessed (Hi red-headed friends who read this, I […]
Spring Denim
Spring is here and I have the jeans to prove it! I have rummaged around various thrift stores searching for the perfect light denim to wear with plimsols, loose tees and freckles in the warmer weather. All I seem to find has either been of the mom-jeans variety (which I have been known to rock […]
H&M x Elle 2014
As part of their promotion for the Swedish Elle gala, a major end of year fashion event, Elle Magazine Sweden host a shopping breakfast in collaboration with H&M. They also invite make up artists from Loréal to give a run down of some New Year’s Eve looks, and the fashion editor of Elle gives some […]
Long Hair Tip – Braided Bun
I made this braided bun a while back, not expecting much. To my surprise it looked very sophisticated and put together despite being a quick and easy fix. I had worn braids that day and wasn’t up for wearing my hair down in an elvish frizz (long hair + braided waves = Lord of […]
If you go out in the woods today..
This fall I spent an excessive amount of my precious time running around like a loon in the woods. I could lie and say this was because I am training for some charity marathon, or am just that motivated to get fit, but the actual reason was that it was a ridiculously good mushroom season. […]
Break Down, Down Time
Here’s a little break down of an outfit I wore about a month ago. I love this bow belt. I’ve been trying to find one similar to a bowtie for years. I spotted a couple on a street style blog where the woman had a navy belt similar to this one, and it started an […]
Creepy Crawly Short Shorts
This was from revision time, as a random form of procrastination. I love these cork heeled wedges I got when I went to London at 15. I never really wore them until now, when I realized they are like the most perfect summer evening shoes. And I wanted these H&M shorts since the first time […]
Freedom!
I’m back from the dark side of exams and into the slightly less dark side involving job-hunting and appartment-viewings. And now that Gavin is back everything is pretty much fluffy and pink, even though it is a bit hard adjusting to having to share a room sometimes. We can’t wait to move in together and […]
Eenie meenie miney moe..
Trying to pick between which essay to write and memorize for my only first seen-exam. Animal consciousness or how tv/video games ruins the learning of language in children. At the moment I’m thinking animals, mainly because the question is based on a male chimp that actually planned rock-throwing attacks on spectactors at his zoo. That […]
Spring has not quite sprung
I actually saw the outside of my room today. Unfortunatley it was spent in the library working on the “D” word. I did not wear this though, that was yesterday. I like the single daisy clip cuz it makes me feel ready for spring! I’m going back to Sweden on Saturday and I cannot wait! […]
