Today's Mantra:

 Att våga är att förlora fotfästet en liten stund. Att inte våga är att förlora sig själv.
“To dare is to lose one's footing momentarily. Not to dare is to lose oneself.”  ~Sören Kierkegaard

Happy Saturday!

Today I Am The Never Ending Story Happiness;)


How I Feel at the Moment:

“What can I do with my happiness? How can I keep it, conceal it, bury it where I may never lose it? I want to kneel as it falls over me like rain, gather it up with lace and silk, and press it over myself again.”
 - Anaïs Nin

Today I Am Sweetness:)


At least in Disguise;)

"I disregard the proportions, the measures, the tempo of the ordinary world. I refuse to live in the ordinary world as ordinary women. To enter ordinary relationships. I want ecstasy. I am a neurotic — in the sense that I live in my world. I will not adjust myself to the world. I am adjusted to myself." - Anaïs Nin

Also, happy happy happy birthday to a Matthew Peter.
Have a Lovely Adorable 27th of June!

outfit for sweetness:
antique cross necklace
prada belt
burberry flats
now i am off to see my wonderfully kind friend Jaime in mayfair.

YES:

“I am an excitable person who only understands life lyrically, musically, in whom feelings are much stronger as reason. I am so thirsty for the marvelous that only the marvelous has power over me. Anything I can not transform into something marvelous, I let go. Reality doesn't impress me. I only believe in intoxication, in ecstasy, and when ordinary life shackles me, I escape, one way or another. No more walls.”  - Anais Nin

I have a new project planned for July so that is what I need to plan for today. So now I am off.

Diary 224: My Midsummer Weekend




















"Just nu vill jag leva, just nu!
Just nu vill jag känna, just nu!
Känna luften i mina lungor,
känna blodet som pulserar,
känna ljuset i mina ögon,
känna tiden som passerar."

- Tomas Ledin's Just Nu


I had the most beautiful Midsummer weekend in my home town, Uddevalla (Sweden). Friday was spent all day with my bestie Pernilla whom brought me to her other bestie Linda who had the most adorable midsummer day (and evening )party. Saturday I spent all day with my step mother, Siv & my 3 younger brothers:) 

Images top to bottom: 1 This beer is totally Swedish & and Totally Tomas Ledin for me:))). I just had to take a picture of it since it represents Swedish summer for me. 2  Andreas o Jocke (whom owned the beer, Pripps Blå) enjoying themselves. 3 The lovely mother of one of the hosts, Andreas. Here it's time for one of Swedens many "snaps" visor. The only one I know is Helan Gar hahaha. SKAL. 4 My lunch. 5 The gang. 6 Pernilla Lovlieness. 7 Us & some neighbours dancing around the Midsummer flower tree. 8 Then it was time for Dajm cake. I had 3 pieces ohlalala...!!! SO GOOD. 9 Then it was time for a Treasure Hunt which was SO much fun. Those 3 were my team mates. We lost haha. 10 a few hours later it was time for a barbecue which the guys took care of proudly...!!! 11 Saturday. This was the drink I got when I arrived at my step mom's house.I think it was called Marinella. It was very sweet. 12&13 the lunch which as always is perfection in her house. 14-17 Walk Time! My brother's Anders & David showed me around the area since I have only been in this house one time before ( we grew up in another house very far away from this place) and that was during winter and very dark and snowy. And we ran into this beautiful Swan Family:))) The father was NOT happy us being so close, he almost scared the life out of me...! 18&19 my step mom's adorably beautiful sister (whom I looked up to as a child and whom to owns Salong Coquette, a hair saloon, which is where I got my name for my future project Coquette Journal) with her very cute daugther Madeleine came to visit. We had Strawberries, ice cream & cream with some coffee together and a lovely conversation. Such a lovely family. So sad I do not have 1 good picture of my other brother, Christian whom is such a cutie. Next time I'll focus on him with my camera's. 

"Blå blå vindar och vatten
blå blå himlar och hav
Blå blå känslor i natten"

 HAPPY!

A Sunday Back Home in East Dulwich







My plane landed 9 am this morning at Heathrow Airport, and I was back in Dulwich by 11.30. Unpacked most things at once which for me is rare...!!! The first thing I checked was my post box because I knew I had a new dress waiting for me from Kee Boutique:))) In Love. 60's Twiggy = YES. Then off for Franklins together with Swedish & British Sunday newspapers. Perfection Day.

Images top to bottom: 1 The lovely yellow 60's style print dress I got from kee Boutique. 2 My barbie I played with as a child that my stepmother had saved for me (together with millions of other things of course). My neighbours cat is just adorable. 3 Some inpspirations at the moment. 4 The dear Eija..!!! ( some memories... here, here, here). This girl is such a wonderful one. And a fave model of mine styling while I still lived in Stockholm (she very soon moved on to other things that interested her more though, but I am happy she did do her time since that is how I got to meet her and an adorable Michaela). Today she was the "Sunday Profile" in Dagens Nyheter's Culture section. Dagens Nyheter is one of Sweden's major serious news papers. How cool is that? She's too a member of the famous clan Skarsgard with Stellan, being her dad & alexander being her brother together with a few other hugely talented siblings. She is now organizing the coolest parties in Stockholm (being the boss of course). 5 That would be a me saying HI:))! 6 The Papers...!!!

Happy Sunday Evening To You All!

tomorrow I'll give you a proper diary post from my midsummer weekend.
