Xmas & New Year'sSNAPSHOTS

Catching up with good friends and too much wine...  //  On our way to the annual Christmas vespers.

Had the luck to witness these wonderful nacreous clouds.  //  Prep for New Year's Eve.

Last outfit of 2016 - a long black dress and a festive fascinator.  //  Instead of fireworks we sent away "love balloons", as we decided to called them.

Hope you had a lovely Christmas and New Year's. Mine was spent with family and friends. It's been very nice and peaceful, just how it should be. As a new year has begun I'm all excited about what it will bring. I wish for health, happiness and a warmer world. May this be the year we can finally come together as one. 

All the best, E xx

Hunting In The Heat

¡Hola chicas! Monday again. How time flies, don't you think? Mondays are actually one of my favorite days. It feels like a fresh blank page and an opportunity to start all over again (with what ever that might be?). What's your favorite day? 

I just went through my Amsterdam folder and found this outfit that I forgot to show you. This is what I wore one day in town, when I was hunting around for designer second hand/vintage shops (my Amsterdam shopping guide is coming soon, stay tuned!). The weather was so amazing the whole time so this was almost too hot to wear. Comfy shoes are a must though!

Here are a few more pics of what I was wearing to Nina's vernissage. When others were sliding around in comfy sneakers, I strut around in 11 centimeters Manolos... Well, I guess you can't always be a chameleon. On the other hand, you should always be yourself, right? I love to dress up a little extra a little now and then, and especially for rare occasions like this. I'm so proud of my friend, showing here amazing art in such a cool gallery. You owned it, babe! xx

Marvelous Midsummer

So, it's been a while. Again. I really miss posting here, but I'm sad to tell you there aren't any time at the moment. I seriously don't barely even have time to eat, to take a shower and to act like a normal human being. I'm telling you, it's crazy. I'm a wreck right now. So wish this circus of hecticness soon will come to an end. I really miss this. 

Anyway. Thought I at least could share a few pictures from my Midsummer weekend. At least I got two well needed days off which I spent together with my lovely family. Lots of delicious summery food (Hello, look at that cake!) and a silent late night trip with the canoe. If you follow me at Instagram (@saemlstaint) you might have seen a short video already? If not, go follow me and watch it over there.

Hope your weekend has been lovely! 

Can't wait to be back here again. xx

Friday's

So, it was a while ago! Suddenly it happens. This is what I wore on Friday. First time with heels this year! How liberating. It's so much more fun and easy to get dressed when it's warmer outside. Six months of snow is so not my thing. Time to enjoy!

If only I could snap my fingers and all this freaking snow would be gone... Feels like this winter has been going on forever, no joke.

So, talking about warmer days... Here's what I wore that day in Gibraltar. I'm so glad that I bought these pants as they are both classic, good-looking AND comfy at the same time. Not so often that happens to be completely honest. 

More over, it's Friday, I finished work for a couple of hours ago and soon I'm off to my parents house as my sister is here over the night. The Swedish Friday classic (tacos) is coming up! For some strange reason it's always delicious.

So sorry for the bad pictures above. These were the only ones I managed to get before my camera ran out of battery. It's from last Friday night, just before we went to see a local band playing some music.

Anyway. I'm back. Back in foggy, rainy, dark, gray, cold Sweden again... As you can hear I'm not so eager about it. I could have stayed in Spain for so much longer.

Tell me, why is it that the last night is always the most fantastic? Had such a great night resuscitating my Español with new made friends, drinking beer and dancing bachata until 05:30 in the morning. Wished it never would have ended.

Hey from Havana!

So, here's what I wore to the beach on Friday, just as simple as that. Love this shirt that I bought a couple of weeks ago. The quality is amazing, soft linen, and a few sizes too big. So perfect for days like these, when comfy is key. 

Unfortunately the weather Gods haven't been very kind to us this week. Last night we had thunderstorm for hours, today has been cloudy and now it's pouring down. I really pray for a little more sunshine before we head back home on Wednesday cause we all know what lies before us... Brrr!

Sunny Stroll

Sneakers  –  Nike  //  The rest  –  2nd hand

Here's what I wore when we strolled around in the park one of the days in England. Sunbathing birds and kids having ice cream. Hand in hand we walked along the lake and soaked up the warm rays of the sun. Life really is beautiful.

Park Play

Kimono  –  Kappahl  //  Sneakers  –  Adidas  //  T-shirt, shorts & sunnies  –  Inherited/2nd hand

Playing in the park with baby boy Teo requires a comfy dress code, just as simple as that. But this was at Sunday. Today I've been busy working and I'm still not done for today yet... Oh, and by the way – sorry for blinding you with those legs. How horribly white! Now let's cross both fingers and toes the summer will arrive of real veeery soon and that I can have a few days off to enjoy the sunshine! Now duty calls again. Later lovers! xx

Yesterday
