Great mascara

This is my favorite mascara right now. Gives lots of volume and long lashes at the same time.

Leaves

The ground is still covered by leaves at places but soon they will hopefully be covered by white snow. Tomorrow it's December 1st.

The flag

Dressed for winter

Keeping warm in Skåne in a new warm parka from Papa Lou, Acne jeans and Steve Madden boots.

Uninvited visitor

I'm not scared of spiders, not even the more scary ones you could easily find in LA, but I still thought this fellow who paid us a visit where we were staying the other night was a really big one.

Treasure hunting

I love finding unique, old, beautiful, rare things or to make a really good deal on something of course. That's a great thrill. So flea markets are my place to be at! After a couple of hours of strolling around in the ice cold weather (Sweden really IS preparing for winter) I came home with a beautiful chair that I can see myself putting in maybe a bedroom or hallway and a nice colorful painting for only 1 SEK! We'll probably reframe it and it'll look great!

Cousins' love

 

We spent the entire day yesterday with my sister and her family so little guy could play with all my sister's girls. It's so nice to see the little ones interact and entertain each other. And it gives the grownups a chance to interact a bit too..

Swedish candy

The best in the world ❤

Team Sweden

Right now: Sweden vs Portugal in a World Cup play off.. Go Sweden!!

Winter

We woke up to frost this morning. A small layer of tiny crystals on the ground. I love the beautiful changes in nature and how everything looks completely different when a new season is entering. But the constant sunshine in Los Angeles isn't bad either.. I wish we could get some more of that too right now. As soon as the snow starts coming it will all light up though. I look forward to that.

An old favorite

Thanks mom!

Some things you are just never too old or grown up for.

IKEA

All those delicious pastries they sell for almost nothing...of course we had to make time for a coffee break.

We thought we could carry our items but pretty quickly realized we needed to upgrade to a cart..

Not many things are more Swedish than IKEA, right? We used to go many times in the US but I haven't been here in Sweden for ten years or so, when I moved into my first own apartment in Stockholm. Now I needed to purchase some things and thought it could be a fun little day excursion. So we went, my mom and I. And came back home several hours later with the car filled. A fun day!

Ladies Night

Leather jacket from BB Dakota, Top from Ella Moss, Jeans from Nudie and a Marc Jacobs Clutch.

My mom and I celebrated her birthday with a night out this weekend. Dinner, wine.... and male strippers on stage(!) Haha, nothing we've ever been to in the past but it sure created a fun memory and gave us a lot of good laughs and a great time together.

Sweden is beautiful

Some more captions from these past weeks ❤

Hat on

 

It's getting chillier and chillier and it feels like the winter isn't that far away here in Sweden. So today I put on a hat to keep warm for the first time ... and because of a bad hair day I have to admit.. :)

A day on the town

A steal: this cute golden skirt for 50 SEK.

And I got myself a new pair of jeans.

Yummy lunch sandwich and a Swedish cinnamon bun and the best latte I've had in a long time.

We went in to Helsinborg today. Some shopping, just strolling around and a nice relaxing lunch when the little one took a nap in his stroller. Lovely. And time flies when you're having fun...when we returned to our car we'd been away for over five hours..

From my car window

Darkness over Skåne this afternoon. Looks a bit like a painting, doesn't it?

Feeding the ducks

It was a lot of excitement for a little guy who loves birds when we went to feed the ducks some days ago. First he started eating the old bread we brought himself.. but then laughingly ran around among the hungry little friends. Seeing your baby enjoying himself is the biggest reward I can think of ❤
