When angels sing

I really think we need a tune, a lovely one on top of that. The way Michael sings "Destiny"... MAGIC.

Birthday of a King

I know it's late but it's still the 29th here. Went to the beach briefly today, the sound of the waves are so soothing just like your voice. Happy birthday Michael. Miss you a lot.

Another day in Stockholm



Boots were another thing I hadn't worn for months. Quite depressing actually. I do love wearing long sleeves and I adore tights in all colours but I'm not sure if I love summer more... I've realized that my most precious memories are of sunny spring and summer days.

Weekend in Stockholm

My best friend got married during the weekend so I went to Stockholm for a few days. The wedding was loads of fun and my friend looked stunning! Unfortunately my dear b-friend accidentally erased all the pictures on my camera half-way through celebrations... I tried taking more pictures but don't really have any good ones. Will have to hunt down photos from my friends instead.
While the wedding was lovely the weather was less enjoyable. It's supposed to be warm in August even if you're in Sweden! My first time wearing tights in months. So now I've got a lovely cold... Well, I probably shouldn't complain since I did have a great weekend.

Yellow shell

Found this romper in a vintage shop in May and although I really like it I've only used it once. So the other day I set myself on yellow romper mood and used my b-friend's bike as an accessory. As long as I'm not on the bike it's all good. I tried getting on it the other day but since I can't even reach the peddles I thought: " No, I do not want to end up looking like a Big Bird-mess lying flat-faced on the curb...". And even though everyone's emphasising the arrival of autumn I just don't feel like walking around in a jacket and boots when it's 30 degrees (celsius) outside. No summer, I'm not done with you yet.

More magic...


Faints, cries, smiles, feels hot and bothered (ehem), all at once...

Night gown?


I really like my new mint green (yes, again) top but have realised it looks a bit like a night gown... Well, I don't mind really because some night gowns are so pretty you wonder who'd ever want to sleep in them? This one might not be one of those super pretty ones but I sure wouldn't want to sleep in it either. I'll just continue wearing it and perhaps look like I just got out of bed and forgot to get changed...

Ashish ss10

I know that this collection isn't "new" but gosh do I want all of it! The fanny packs, or bum bags as I prefer to call them for obvious reasons *giggles*, are just what I've been looking for since last year. I want me a bum bag!

The last months obsession




Smokey's beautiful voice is pure bliss!
Just had to add my darling Michael's version of "(Come 'Round Here) I'm the One You Need", can you be anything but amazed?!

Red heart, mint green



Yup, this weekend I wore my diaper denim shorts again. It's so nice to wear shorts that aren't that tight and won't make your legs look like roastbeef (wrapped in string) once you sit down... Borrowed J's tee because as I've mentioned before I'm liking candy colours right now although I don't wear it as often as I'd like. The red heart-brooch is a x-mas gift that my niece made me. Love hand-made gifts!

I really wouldn't mind...

I strangled Valentino (he strangled Valentino)
U've been mine ever since (U've been his ever since)
If anybody asks u (If anybody asks u)
YOU BELONG TO PRINCE!
Come on, baby get up!
Get up!


("Private Joy", Prince)


- Well yes please, duh! I'd never let him strangle my dear Valentino though, he's too precious and I'm so happy he's back on the track again. Makes MotoGP worth watching again...

Rize

I watched this documentry by David LaChapelle yesterday and it was amazing. The small kids are just beautiful. I always loved LaChapelle's work but didn't know that he did films too.

Bohemian weekend


Was wearing this on Sunday but did swap my wedges for good ol' flip-flops once it was time to head to the beach. I bought this top back in May when I was in NY and I adore it! Thin and with long sleeves - love. Might've been wearing it a lil' too much though...
Since frying in the sun isn't really my sense of fun I decided to join my friend and b-friend when they decided to go jump off a cliff, into the water that is... Apart from the painful super wedgie I got it was fun and very liberating! Felt like a kid and it reminded me of my tomboy years, miss those days. Never knew ageing would be so depressing...

Spanish glory

What a well deserved victory! This world cup I've been supporting Spain as if I was Spanish myself. Not too unnatural considering my own country even failed to qualify, at least I'm in the right country... Bring back the Swedish glory of 1994! Anyway Spain plays beautiful football, simple as that.


Here are some of my crappy pics I took of the celebrations earlier in the week:



Thought I'd just throw this picture in for all the Torres - admirers like myself...
