Stripes & Flowers?

Would you wear stripes and a flower print together? I like it!

Versace madhouse

Empty shelves. All gone! Look at the poor guy in the middle looking all sad..

Yesterday was the Versace for H&M launch and it was just as crazy as the Missoni for Target one! We got there early but still didn't stand a chance to even look at a piece. Stores opened at 8am and by 8.05 all the men's wear was gone! The women collection is like always in a surrounded area where you are only allowed entry once your time slot on the given bracelet is up. Anyway, it was a day of pure madness and bad luck on our part where we returned home empty handed. After coming back a while later though, we managed to get our hands on a pair of really pretty shoes, a hat and a pair of tights. Could be nice under a black dress perhaps?

Life is beautiful

Sometimes it comes naturally. Sometimes you need to get reminded.

All those great restaurants of LA

Tired and full I'm now going to bed. Good night!

I love going out for dinner, to  sit down with great company and be spoiled by good food and drinks. And here in LA there are so many options. Almost endless. The whole world's kitchen is literally around the corner from you. That's one of the things I find the most fun about living just here - all the different cultures blended in one colorful mix. Last night I tried this great Indian restaurant, Electric Karma, on 3rd Street with absolute experts on the subject - Indian friends! Tonight I just came back from meeting my agent at Cafe Stella in Silverlake. I've been wanting to try that one for a long time. I liked it. Super cozy and my fish was one of the best I've had. Sunday, perhaps, I'm I'll be going to Terroni - an Italian favorite.

This will have to do...

A bit healthier treat to another episode of Mad Men. I'm getting hocked!

Candy!

Deliciousness!

I'm leaving for Sweden in two weeks. If you have picked up a thing or two about me, you know I'm just crazy for sweets. So one of the first things I always do when coming home, is to buy myself a really big bag of that delicious candy that is only to be found in my native country. The problem is, I'm craving it soo much already! American candy doesn't help much at all. Perhaps it's because I know it's just around the corner and that's why it seems too long.  Does that makes sense? Ahh, can't wait!

And I thought the Grove was early..

Beverly Center has an entire Ice Palace with Santa himself already in place, waiting to receive wish lists. I wonder if I can sneak in mine...

Totally unnecessary but cute

 

Owl lip balm. $6 each at Urban Outfitters.

Mad Men

In my home and Don Draper's :)

I've rented the super hyped series Mad Men on Netflix and saw the first two episodes last night. I can't say I'm blown away by it already but I'm definitely interested in more. What I am blown away by though, is the amazingly stylish 60's interior. I want to jump into the TV and steal almost everything I see. The typical fashion of that era are so much fun seeing too. And do you remember my penny pot? I saw the very same one in Don Draper's kitchen!

Versace for H&M coming up this weekend..

Check out the Versace for H&M Fashion Show in New York and make up your mind about what to stand in line for and what to skip.

A model housewife

After an intense morning, including a last minute callback in Santa Monica for a Toyota commercial, the day continued with some creativity around the house instead. I baked a sponge cake (so yummy! Why make it more complicated when a simple sponge cake is so good?) and made a Greek Moussaka for dinner. I really like to make dishes where you have all in one - meat and potatoes mixed together with tomatoes, thyme, cream and cheese and then a salad on the side and you're all set! Thanks mom for the recipe!

Heavenly breakfast

Happy Sunday!

A fun shoot

A sneak peak from a really fun shoot I did a couple of weeks ago. The furry little friends weren't supposed to be a part of it but they had a tendency to want to join in. So cute!

Gold or Bronze?

I wouldn't mind a new big watch in gold or bronze (or rose gold as it's called) and I just saw these two from Marc by Marc Jacobs with Swarovski crystals. $175 each and a bit cheaper than the similar ones I've seen at Michael Kors. Which color do you prefer?

Ah, those calories

Just me

A Sunday in September. My photographer friend captured me at his apartment.
