On my way to work the other day, the sun was shining a bit unusually. I stopped and took a few snaps, and walking along the bridge (away from the approaching bus I was going to take) I discovered there was actually a halo around the sun. I carry my DSLR around sometimes, so I […]

Spring Style Inspiration
Pointed ballerinas by Christian Louboutin from their Spring 2016 “Nude Collection” Fashion works fast, ahead of the seasons and the weather. In the world of high-end design reality doesn’t quite fit in, practicality nor price-wise, so why not dream away from the cold winter and pretend to shop for a life in a different reality. There […]
Skin Care & Beauty Empties
I am so excited to do my first ever beauty empties! For those of you unfamiliar, an “empties” post is all about products that have been used up. It’s a phenomenon which is huge on Youtube, and tons of beauty bloggers do this. You basically save your trash until you have enough trash to talk […]
New Years 2016
The last day of 2015 I was lapping up “sunshine” on the beach…well sort of! This guy was back in town from Berlin so there was lots to be happy about and we were in Täby staying with my parents. As normal we went for a long walk around the area I used to live […]
Fridanoodle Film Club – Part 7
In this Film Club I take on two very different films, Oscar-nominated “The Danish Girl”, a deep and complex surrounded by an important debate, and “Romantics Anonymous” a light and cheery French romcom. The Danish Girl I have been longing to see this film ever since spotting the beautiful posters all around town about a year […]
Knitter’s DIY – Turn Twisted Hank to Center-Pull Ball
I’m a knitter now, and thus I declare knitting shall be featured on this blog. No, I am not planning to turn this into a haven of wool and stitch-techniques, you will still see me paint, thrift, photograph and DIY. But as it is a current obsession I do feel the need to share some […]
Resolution Revolution
A whole year has once again come and this year I decided to put resolutions off the menu. I committed myself to a resolution revolution. I do normally make a list – here is a flashback from 2009 which did make me to consider one exception to the no resolution rule (No more yellow eye shadow, […]

Fridanoodle Film Club – Part 6
Welcome to another rendition of the Fridanoodle Film Club (see parts 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5). In the age of Netflix and streaming, there is something special about seeing a film on the big screen. I don’t go often, but I have in the past month been twice, first with a good friend to […]
Knitting & Yarn Haul
I joined a knitting site called Ravelry (fridanoodle there too), mainly for finding free patterns but I am getting hooked. Raverly works like a forum where you can connect with other knitters/designers, as well as share your work and ask questions. I have been knitting a lot more in the recent months and felt like it […]
Sewing Festival Stockholm
Saturday was a busy day. We spent the whole morning tidying the apartment, fueled on a lone smoothie. All in order to have the most epic, guilt-free brunch of all time. We went to Mississippi Inn with a couple friends of ours and Greg and I shared a Brunch-for-Two, obviously adding an American pancake which […]
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 […]
