in bloom

finally summer in stockholm (and on my balcony)!

sci-fi & pez

Rönnells is a second-hand bookshop in Stockholm that I sometimes visit. At the moment they 
have a fun collection of sci-fi books in their window display - the book covers are amazing! I wish 
I could have the  R2-D2 Pez dispenser.. The bottom pic shows some cool vintage dispensers I found 
on PEZ website. 

royal wedding

a magazine asked me to illustrate the swedish princess Victoria and her fiancé Daniel for an article 
about their future. they are getting married on june 19th so there is a lot of preparation going in in 
stockholm at the moment. the magazine comes out on june 12th.

kitsch

my mom bought me these beautiful mugs yesterday! they are designed by jade jagger for indiska. 
the cutting board in the background was a christmas present, designed by  karin lindgård.  i love 
this type of  'kitsch' kitchenware..thank you mom!

jeff kulak

I'm a big fan of Jeff Kulak's illustrations. He made the cover and artwork for Woodpigeon's 
Die Stadt Muzikanten.  You can view more of his work here.

pretty in pink

i bought this cardigan at h&m the other day. i love the lace and crochet details..
it would go so well with this lovely bag made by sarah culleton. visit her shop here!

tea and cake

it was my friend's birthday today so she invited us over for some tea and cake.
we brought her a pretty jar filled with colorful candy.
a very nice sunday indeed.

vintagous

vintagous is a shop i discovered on etsy that sells beautiful items from the past. the shop is run by 
an artist based in south jersey who has been collecting vintage pieces for a very long time. 
i picked out some photos of my favorites...

it's all about the collar

i love dresses. 
this one i bought in a cute little shop in brooklyn, new york.
the collar is pretty.. i like how dresses made in the 50's and 60's often have big collars.
a few years ago i discovered this lovely photo of a woman in a green coat. 
it was part of an exhibition held at the Victoria & Albert museum in london,
shot by a well-known photographer for a fashion magazine.
beautiful coat with a beautiful collar.
