A part of my shoe collection...

African, hand-painted martini glasses

A porcelain shoe as a piggy bank - bought on one of my visits to London

My african corner with things from South Africa and Kenya

Turns out I didn't have time to update on thursday after I got back home, and friday we left to visit my relatives for the weekend up north, but now I'm back! Here are a few photos of my apartment in Stockholm, and these are the few things that also will be coming with me to London (together with my lovely iMac and a huge TV). My apartment here has been quite simple and really there isn't a lot to show but I have become more and more interested in interior design so hopefully the London one will be more exciting... Pop in soon for a new post.

silk and leather

With my Acne Shank boots I wrote about in the previous post I am wearing a new 100% silk shirt and my dream catcher necklace. Nothing special but I kind of wanted the focus to be on the boots. Soon I am going to a museum called Fotografiska to see the exhibition "Nordic Women in Chanel" - super excited! Then I'm off to dinner but I might update tonight when I get home and show you some snapshots from my apartment since we are soon going to start packing for the London move...!

Shank

My beloved shanks from Acne have now for autumn been released in two new styles, an awesome black and nude colour and black with a wooden heel. I absolutely adore the ones I have, I love the colour and the fact that the heel isn't crazy high, and I love the material and did I mention the colour? But I mean these two new pairs are so awesome, would it be weird if I had all three of them? LOVE.

simplicity

I went for simple on saturday with a bit more makeup than I usually sport. The top I am wearing actually has the nicest open back but of course I forgot to take a picture of that... 


Today I just have a driving lesson planned but I have so many things on my to-do list that I am sure my day will pass too quickly anyway. Went to IKEA the other day to buy some new things for my apartment that we will be renting out, might show you that later. Also have a bunch of new clothes and jewelry I want to show you as well as a load of snapshots taken with my phone that could be fun to share... So posts are bound to come up in the near future!

a few nights ago

A few nights ago I was at a restaurant with my boyfriend and at the next table sat none other than Elin Kling and Frida Fahrman. I am a huge fan of both of their blogs so I took the courage to go up and ask for a picture with them and here I am now sharing the result of that. Gotta love that it's not just a classic smiley picture, I have far too many of those. We were having dinner at an amazing seafood restaurant called Pontus! and tomorrow I will post some outfit pictures.

MacBook Air

My new love is a MacBook Air. It is the perfect complement to my stationary iMac that I have here at home. I had a hard time choosing whether to get an iPad, MacBook Air or a MacBook Pro but after a lot of buts and ifs I settled for the air because I wanted something light that won't be heavy to carry around during my days in London whilst I still wanted a good notebook, which the iPad isn't really, according to the Apple-guys. So here it is, my light, amazing new Apple. And it is running Lion rather than Snow Leopard, and I LOVE Lion (the new operating system).

Today is a rainy day and the only thing on my schedule is a driving lesson and loads of studying for my driving test. My nerves are definitely getting the best of me these days :-(

25th of august on the 3rd

I'm back! And I have lots to share as well... Starting with this outfit which I wore on the 3rd of august when I celebrated my birthday at a nice restaurant with my family. Since they live in South Africa they will not be around on the 25th of august, when my actual birthday takes place, so we had a little dinner on the 3rd. 


I wore what I had been wearing the whole day which includes these "Rider" shoes from Acne that are so comfortable you want to sleep in them. I love how the back part is way lighter than the front. I also wore my atm favourite necklace - a dreamcatcher from H&M. 


The pictures were a bit stressed but the view behind is the view from the restaurant Stallmästaregården in Stockholm and the three course dinner was delicious. Pop in soon and I shall introduce you to my new best friend and early birthday present - I'm in love...!

yesterday

Yesterday I walked around wearing these suede shorts I bought just a few days ago. The original price was 800 kr. but they were on sale and with my staff discount they were only 150 kr. I love suede and a pair of shorts in suede is nothing I am unhappy about. They are one size too big but once I move to London I will find a taylor that can fix that for me (I suspect taylor prices are way better there than here).... I matched it with my pocahontas necklace, belt and black top...


I have had a lot going on both at home and at work lately so the absence of blogging has been slightly inevitable but this is my last week of full time work and I have so many new pieces in my closet that posts will be coming up more frequently... Now I am off for a dog walk <3

Acne

Since most of the shoes for Acnes AW2011 collection aren't out in stores to drool over yet I decided you guys could drool over my little collection for a while. Here are my Acne babies and I have to say - truthfully -  I don't regret buying any of them. They have been very used and still are, Acne just has that talent to create timeless pieces.

On a personal note I would like to mention two things; one being Norway, in which I don't have words to explain what I feel but I am sure most of us feel alike. The second being about my personal life - it is at the moment going through a natural disaster so an absence in posts and outfits has its explanation. I don't really want to elaborate at the moment, it is what it is and now I just have to see what the future has in store for me.

Portugal

So I looked through my pictures from Portugal and it turns out I really don't have a lot, I guess I left the documenting of the trip to someone else just as I left my good camera back home. But here are a few picture from the lovely beach...

H&M

Still haven't had time or energy to look through the portugal pictures because I have been working a lot. The working (since it is at H&M) has however enabled me to have a look at the new seasons H&M trends. As always I have fallen head over heels for it. There is something special about H&Ms autumn/winter collection that always makes me love it. It just portrays warmth and cosiness in some way. These are some looks from the H&M Trend lookbook, I will definitely be investing in some of the pieces.

Speaking of investing, I have done a little accessory shopping lately, a couple of bracelets and a necklace. Will show you soon, I'm off this weekend so hopefully there will be time to use the camera!

off to my summer place

L-O-V-E these shoes. Would give a lot to have them. How cool? And L-O-V-E styling shoes with socks in a semi-casual way. It just does so much. I have to invest in a few cool socks. And maybe a few more pairs of shoes... Anyway, I'm off to my summer place now, so ttyl!

long time

As the title states it has been a long time since I let you guys in on what's going on in my life and what I am wearing. I have been in Portugal since the last post and if you bare with me I hope to be able to put up a little collage of what it looked like. Until then I am sharing this outfit which I wore like a month ago but still haven't blogged about. A rainy day outfit, with both hat and glasses borrowed from my lovely boyfriend. The top I have blogged about before - from H&Ms fast fashion collection. The shoes are old Topshop favourites.

necessities

Here are my new babies. I actually can't wait for the temperature to go down so I can wear them. The perfect everyday shoes that will be perfect in London! So excited. My new autumn shoe necessities are from Acne.

summer days

Sorry about the absence, my days have been looking a little like this lately, I have been spending some time at my summer place. Back in town now though for some work this weekend and some fixing before I head to Portugal on wednesday!!! I have to show you guys my new shoes that I bought on the Acne sale. Actually I bought two pairs, but one pair at a time!
