Letter On Chain
NEVA OSLO



A letter bracelet has been on top of my wish list for God knows how long. I've been to numerous jewelry shops, but either the style isn't what I'm looking for or they don't have it at all.

But so one day when I happened to come across the jewelry brand NEVA OLSO (founded in 2014 by Zuzana Spustova) it was just there – the bracelet of my dreams. The delicate rose gold chain, the diamonds and the letters in just the right shape. Pure perfection if you ask me, but due to its price my arm is still empty. But I dream on. One day maybe. One day.

On My Mind




On the 1st of December we're going to a Christmas show/party and instead of a dress (which I've been wearing every single year = boring!) I feel for something less traditional this time. Yesterday I ordered these Vinyl Pants from MANGO and if they fit I might wear them. Patent can be a bit hard to style and some might even find this high shine fabric kinky. The secret to prevent this is to keep everything else simple and balance up with something more feminine and delicate.

Personally I have a soft spot for ruffles so this Crepe Top from J.CREW would be the perfect match.

Party means dancing so therefore I prefer a slightly lower heel. These Ankle Strap Sandals from NELLY are a real bargain as they are both classic and wallet friendly.

One can always dream, right? These Pearl Drop Earrings from MIZUKI would add just that little extra.

Now when winter is here for real we have to focus even more on hydrating our skin. Right now everyone is buzzing about the sheet mask, but as you know I'm very selective with ingredients I therefore haven't tried one yet. After some Googeling I luckily came across the brand 100% PURE which have three different ones I would love to try! Green Tea Water Bomb Mask from 100% PURE.

My hair heroes are running out so it's time to refill. Voluminous Shampoo and Conditioner Duo Gift Set from RAHUA.

Shopping List
LONDON




The days are flying. Only two weeks left until WE are! As the crazy organizer I am, I haven't been doing much the last couple of days except planning, searching and adding pins to my Google Maps (what would I do without this phenomenal app?). As we're staying three nights in London (just booked the hotel last night!) there are a few things I wish to check out and hopefully buy, at least some of them.


But first out we're going for a day trip to Stonehenge. It's been on my list ever since I wrote an essay about it in high school. Everything unexplained and mysterious makes my heart skips a beat.

I've been thinking of buying it so many times, but never seemed to get to the point. It's just that some things I want to buy in a physical store. To see, touch and actually hold it in your hands feels much more special and has a different value. It becomes more of an experience and something you will look back on and remember everytime you use it. Also I guess it's cheaper in the UK as it's the country of manufacture? Anyway – the Rolls Royce of hairbrushes from MASON PEARSON.

I so need to update my lingerie. If it only wasn't so hard finding something that actually fits. Panties, no problem, but bras... Mama Mia. Mission impossible, most of the times. The dreamiest panties to wear down under? LA PERLA, no doubt.

The same goes with my sportswear – update required. Wish to find a pair of organic yoga leggings. Any suggestions? These ATM ANTHONY THOMAS MELILLO Yoga legging in lightweight modal seems oh so comfy.

No wardrobe is complete without a pair of classic go-to pumps. I still don't own those stiletto saviours, but these are by far the most perfect pair if you ask me. BB 90 pumps from MANOLO BLAHNIK.

It's been there since my teens, but though I've been so sick of the ring in my tragus the last couple of years (too big and ugly) I somehow decided to keep it. I want something much more discreet and sophisticated. This little diamond stud earring from MARIA TASH would be just enough spark but still look chic, don't you think?

Like mentioned, Chanel has launched a new EDP, Gabrielle, and I can't wait to smell it! Parfum from CHANEL.


Are you planning any trip soon? If so, what's on your list? xx

On My Mind





Though it's a few seasons old, I just can't stop thinking of the Berlin trench coat from TOTÊME. It would have been perfect to wear in the UK in a few weeks. Let's make a wish to the second hand gods...

I can feel extremely ambivalent regarding what kind of style I prefer at home, but though this I've recognize a pattern that keeps reoccurring year after year. As the seasons are changing, my interior tend to do the same. During the summer I like warm accents such as gold and a little color here and there. But now, as we're heading towards autumn and winter, I prefer a more simple style with a cooler palette. This HK Pitcher from GEORG JENSEN would be the dreamiest centerpiece at my kitchen table this autumn/winter.

After reading an interview with Finnish style star Hanna Kovanen, this facial oil from RAAW IN A JAR really captured my interest. As I'm looking for new skin care products and the fact that it's a 2-in-1 (serum AND facial oil), this might very well be one of the products I invest in.

Classic, simple and timeless it is. These earrings from EDBLAD qualify on all three. Such a bargain!

Get The Trend
TARTAN




'Walk Through Walls' by MARINA ABRAMOVIC  –  Double-breasted checked blazer from MAYLA  –  Sunglasses from MANGO  –  Stockholm T-shirt from TOTÊME  –  Curved stud earrings from COS  –  Original denim light blue from TOTÊME  –  Chain leather bag from MANGO  –  Pocket bristle brush from MASON PEARSON  –  Velvet slingback from MANGO.


This is how I would style the tartan trend. I prefer to put the blazer in the spotlight, to work as the key player. As we all know, this pattern can easily calls good ol grandma to mind, but to avoid and weigh this up I choose a pair of relaxed fit denim in a lighter wash. To make it all pop I go for a bag in red (which is another big trend for autumn/winter), cat eye sunnies and a slingback with a lower heel. Love these Dior-inspired velvet ones from Mango. Though I normally prefer gold instead of silver I go for the later in this case. Silver will add freshness and a much more modern feeling to the outfit. These earrings are spot on. And the book and hairbrush? Well, they're still on my wish list.





Crystal Cuff



Minimalistic jewelry has always been my favorite. It goes so well with almost everything in your closet, adding just that little extra sparkle and personality to the rest of your outfit.

You're A Star





The last couple of weeks I've been totally obsessed with everything astrological and how the sun, moon and the entire solar system affect our beings and behaviors. Every since I was I kid I've been mesmerized by the stars and what's out there. I nearly even applied to the Space Science high school in Kiruna, but changed my mind because it was so far away from home. Anyhow there's something appealing with not knowing, don't you think? It triggers our mind and imagination, makes us dream, but also question who and what we really are. Though there are times in life when we feel lost and blank. Like no one understands us, not even ourself sometimes. These moments you should always remember that there's no coincidence that you became the one you are. It's all written in the stars and if we're willing to it can give us guidance and clarity to move forward and become the best version of the one we are meant to be. For new perceptions and knowledge about yourself and the people around you I really recommend you to check out Astro.com.



On My Mind
BLACK




So, Cyber Week is finally here and we're counting down... First out is Black Friday the 25th of November. With this as an inspiration I thought I should make a collage with different trends and pieces I have in mind at the moment, all in black suitable enough.



THE DOWN JACKET
Like mentioned, this is the it-jacket of the season. This perfect looking style you find at MANGO. I was lucky to find an over-sized one second hand, on the men's section, last year. I will style it with THESE pants and/or with a wide patent belt around the waist.


THE STATEMENT RING
I really love the idea of signature jewelry. That piece you never take off, that has been your true friend for years and years. I myself have this gold ring around my left middle finger. It used to be my mum's and it has been there for over three years now. Though I really feel for a one in a bigger size, a real statement piece, to wear for more festive occasions or just on those days when you feel a little extra something. This silver onyx ring from SOPHIE BUHAI would look stunning around my finger.


THE LUSCIOUS LASHES
Eyes To Kill Excess from GIORGIO ARMANI... Well, I let the name speak for itself.


THE BLING BLING EARRING
If I had to pick one type of jewelry it would certainly be earrings. These knocker earrings from RIVER ISLAND also have that dark romance feeling and would look great paired with a simple black top.


THE CHOKER NECKLACE
Already in January we spotted them on the runway as well as the red carpet. It has taken a while for the high-street stores to jump on the trend, but now we can find them more or less everywhere. I would go for a simple choker in black velvet, like this one from ASOS.


THE SIGNATURE SCENT
To endure the chilly months ahead of us I prefer to spritz on more heavy perfumes with warm, deep and spicy tones. Described as luxurious, sensual and timeless you can't go wrong with this scent from TOM FORD, perfectly packed in an art-deco inspired bottle which adds even more glamour to it.


THE POM POM BEANIE
Some days you really have to unless you don't want a brain freeze. I've seriously been wearing the same dull one the last two years now, one that I found second hand for like 10 SEK. So, I guess it's about time I invest in a new. To cheer this quite boring buy up a little I would go for a black pom pom style, preferably in a cashmere mix. This one from YVES SALOMON would be the dream.


THE VELVET PANT
This season it's all about luxury dark romancefor sure, and what suits better than a pair of velvet pants this time of the year? Personally I love velvet and how it gives your look a posh feeling. A true classic that is always a winner for Christmas with all its feasts and parties. These are a real catch from H&M.


THE ONE-SHOULDER TOP
Like you might remember, I love everything simple that has a twist. Classics that have that little extra something. This asymmetric top from ROLAND MOURET is to die for!


THE PATENT PIECE
I guess no one has missed it? Patent-leather is everywhere this season. If you don't dare going all in on a pair of pants in the must-have material, why not let your shoes stand for the shine instead?


THE SCENTED CANDLE
One of the best things with winter? To light up all the darkness with lots of cozy candles. A quiet night at home is my favorite. If you want to splurge a little extra you go for this masterpiece from FORNASETTI.


THE BIGGER BAG
Whether it's the computer for work or your workout clothes to the gym, this tote from LITTLE LIFFNER is large enough to fit all your necessities in whilst being good looking too. Those silver ring handles are enough reasons to crave it.


THE GO-TO GLOVES
Numerous are the times when I have been torturing my pretty little fingers in the cold due to the lack of appropriate gloves. These classic black suede gloves from RIVER ISLAND would prevent more freezing fingers in the future.
