Party party

I found this in an issue of Glamour magazine and wanted to share. I think these tips are great and something I try to live by myself when throwing a party. What party tips do you have?

Spring is here

Tulips just scream the word spring, don't you think?

Staying dry in the rain

The grapefruit tree outside my bedroom window is getting a lot of water today.

My LA is a rainy one today. Windy too. And even stormy from time to times. I'm nesting inside, cleaning out one of my closets and getting rid of Easter. And oh, it's Friday the 13th today so I suppose it's just the perfect day and setting for a horror movie tonight. How was your Friday 13th?

Dresses galore!

Check out all the lovely dresses from British Dorothy Perkins and get inspired for spring: www.dorothyperkins.com

I'm very picky when it comes to dresses, so many things need to feel right and all work together. But here I want almost every single one. And they do ship to the US as well!

Easter is coming up

An Easter package from back home that came in the mail!

Tomorrow the beginning of one of my favorite holiday's is here. As usual, it feels like it just sneaked up on us. It was never like that as a kid, then the excitement and preparations made one very well aware what was just around the corner.  With a busy "grown up life" so many things manage to come in between somehow. Wish I could be with my family in Sweden right now but at least I took all the Swedish traditions with me when moving over here.

Baby Shower

Some images from my lovely shower a week ago. Thank you to everyone who came and made it special.

Yummy car

Marc Jacob's Daisy perfume is one of my absolute favorites. Should I take my fondness to the next level and cruise around LA in one of these?

I have a secret...

Pismo Beach, CA, March 2012.

New Louboutin bag

The Christian Louboutin 20th anniversary pill clutch. Already sold out. $6,995. What do you think? Not quite my cup of tea.. I'll stick to the shoes!

Road to happiness

I want to live there!

Who wore it best?

Mine looks a bit lighter here but it was exactly the same dress!! One arm is bare and the other one longer and draped.

I definitely like to pick up something nice from the cheaper chains every now and then. But you have to be aware this might very well happen - someone else showing up in the very same dress! That's exactly what happened last Friday when I went out. We were in a pretty small bar and no one could avoid to notice the two girls running around in the very same orange Forever 21 dress! Pretty hard to blend in with a color this bold too! A nightmare for every girl! But I went up to the girl and complimented her on her great style and we just laughed it off. I'm pretty sure I'll pick something less approachable for next time though..

Getting organized

Sorry, I see this photo got a little blurry..

How does your closet look? I'm trying to get mine more organized and neat. If everything is in order it makes dressing even more fun. Having all same color hangers is a good start. I choose thin black ones, which make the clothes stand out more and they don't take up too much room, so there is still some space left for new purchases ;)

Waffle Day

Celebrating Swedish Waffle Day a couple of days late. With strawberry jam and whipped cream. That's the way we enjoy them in Sweden.

Friday night...

on my way to a birthday get together in Santa Monica.

Too cute

What's in my bag?

This is usually what's hidden in my everyday handbag. The Marc by Marc Jacobs tote is a favorite.

My Luis Vuitton wallet (I like that it's so big and can fit everything. Sometimes I use it as a little clutch by itself)
Lipgloss from Face (I'm a big fan of their glosses in different shades. I can't find them here so my mom brings me when she comes over)
Antibacterial moist wipes (Just really practical)
A power bar (I can loose energy very easily and need something in my bag to snack on)
My blackberry (A given of course)
A pen I've stolen from some hotel (I admit it - I take everything like that with me....pens, shampoo bottles...)
Gucci shades (These are so classic. They go with everything)
A Marc by Marc Jacobs heart shaped mirror (I have another one in red and they are both cute and practical with one regular mirror and one magnifying)
A water bottle (I'm prone to headaches so it's even more important for me to stay hydrated)
Mints from Victoria's Secret (These mints usually come in the cutest little boxes. Sometimes I save them after all the mints are gone)
A comb from WEN (This is my favorite comb, it really detangles the hair without hurting it)
Car keys & house keys (the cute "Bambi" key chain from Miu Miu is a gift I received long time ago and I've liked it so much that Bambi has lost her little legs more than once and need to be glued back on every now and then but I refuse to replace it)

What's in Your bag?
