Hi, hello, hej, hallå!
I transfered a bunch of photos from my phone to my laptop and realised it was a while since I showed you the randomness that is my life through a phone camera.
We take it in chronological order with the first one from about a month ago. So here we go!

This is one of my all time favourite iphone photos. It's taken in the public bathroom at the City management office (Stadsledningskontoret, I have no idea if this is the right translation but google tells me so, so okay!)
It is a quite boring house with a grey/brown 70's office feel to it but when you step into the ladies room you get a flower power explosion out of this world. I almost forgot I had to pee, I was so overwhelmed. Forget me not flower tiles all over the place!
I showed one of my male colleagues who went straight to the mens room to see if they had the same flowery decor but he came out extremely disappointed. The mensroom had striped tiles. Boring stripes, not the happy joyful kind of stripes.
I feel sad for the men at the City management office.

A month ago the leaves apparently had yet to show their pretty faces. I looked like this in vintage skirt, spring jacket and newly washed hair (I never ever use a blowdryer. I'm lazy. And I don't know how to use it without getting extremely frizzy hair. And the one I have is inherited from my grandmother and I can probably blow harder with my mouth (yeah, yeah insert rude, sexy jokes here)).

I bought some vintage studio portraits that I have yet to show you.

Spring came and the summer came the day after. The flower stands at my neighbourhood market place Olskrokstorget looks pretty in the sunshine.

I found my summer skirts in the back of my wardrobe but since my thighs hate to meet each other I'm wearing tights all year round.

The cheeky smile is here to stay.

One day I realised my hair is as long as my arms.

I was in Scotland, as you probably know.
I tagged along when Jennie had sewing classes and here she is in her wonderful studio instructing one of her students.

Welcoming bathroom.

The toilet roll "holder" was even fancy at this place...

I went to Pollok Park and took lots of self portraits in this amazingly green parkway in the middle of the forrest. See my post from Pollok Park here.

Dancing by myself.

This beautiful path called on me but the ground was extremely muddy so I had to turn around.

Behind Jennie's studio there is a secret garden.

When I came home to Sweden again David had brought home our new coffee table. We found it at a fleamarket the saturday before I went to Scotland and we had to wait until the week after to bring it home. You can actually widen AND raise it into a kitchen table. Clever mid-century designers. It looks so good in our livingroom!

I found a dress on a fleamarket that makes me look like a naughty farmer's daughter. I love it and plan to go for this look the entire summer. Bring on the hay bales and flower crowns!

Went for a more sensible look the day after. Still the "naughty dress" but accompanied with, well, more clothes.

Had a friend over for fruit sallad and (three pots of) tea.

Relaxed on the balcony after my evening run. I am not good with flowers but I think that two surviving plants out of three is a quite okay result. Right?

The morning sun is just lovely in our kitchen window.

Summer is here and has turned our front yard into a jungle.

I keep overdressing because I refuse to acknowledge the warm weather. I tend to fill my bags with clothing during the day as I realise I don't need the jacket, or the cardigan, or the scarf...

Us in the elevator. Today it's 74 days until we get married, by the way.

My handsome David. This is from the day in the blog post beneath this one.

Hello there!

On sunday I woke up with hair like this. I'll tell you this is not the normal state of my hair straight out of bed. It's usually more troll than princess so I took it as a sign for a good day ahead.

We had a day of casting for David's short film Wallace. Four teenage girls came to audition for one of the roles and as I told you in my last post I got to play the class bully who gets slapped in the face. Each girl did the scene at least three times. So I got slapped in the face at least 12 times.
My face was all red and tingly!
In two weeks I get to do it all over again...

Tjingeling!

This is historical, my friends and readers. I never thought the day would come. Once in a blue moon, and bla bla bla.
This week I've been wearing pants every day. EVERY DAY!
And not only one pair, but THREE!
And not only black pants, but red and green as well!
It's like I don't know who I am anymore!?!?!

Of course I documented this strange occurence because I knew you all needed proof.

One more thing: In the second photo none of my clothes are vintage or trifted.
I know!
Weird.
It will be back to normal soon, I promise.

By the way: I'm going to Scotland tomorrow. David will be home working while I run around Glasgow with my camera in front of my face. I'll get to spend some days with an old friend of mine that I haven't seen in almost ten years. It's going to be fantastic!
I promise to tell you more about this trip soon.
Until then: Tjngeling!

Two colourful things ending up in my stomach.
Water with fresh mint and sweet lemons (such a weird and lovely lemon!) and a plate of tasty things like fruit, vegetables and italian salami.

Two pictures of my jewelry work.
One of beautiful vintage marbles soon to end up in necklace pendants, and one of a Cage pendant in the making.

Two of me.
One with somber hues and a goofy face, and one with bright colours and a calm face.
It's all about contrasts, you know.

I had a lovely lovely weekend and now I'm looking forward to a great week with one of my oldest and bestest friends in the entire world. Tomorrow! Can't wait!!

I took a peek in my phone today and realised that lately I've been taking photos of my home, my food and myself. I don't really now what that means. Maybe that I haven't really been doing anything except eating, getting dressed and looking around my apartment.
Not really true, but lets say it was and take a look at my iPhone photos from the last month with a focus on food, home and my clothes.

It's been some work in front of the computer. I still haven't shown you all the photos from South Africa (they were SO MANY) and I've been editing lots of them lately. Tea and physalis and some great music is great company. Here's the playlist I've been listening to nonstop lately: Möta våren med språng.

One evening the sun sent it's rays through our livingroom and landed on the paintings made by my grandfather.

Bedroom detail: Hats, jewelry boxes, "Lady with grapes" (I inherited it from my grandmother when she died a long time ago. It used to hang over her bed and I loved it when I was a little girl. I thought the grape lady was so sweet and even though I know it's not worth anything money wise I still love it. And she is one pretty grape lady, can't really argue with that.)

Bedroom window in evening light. I love the light through the blinds at that time in the evening. The stuffed animals don't usually hang out in the window but I'm thinking it looks kind of sweet. Maybe a bit like a kids room but I don't care. I'm a kid. Yes, I am.

Afternoon snacks. Physalis and Halva.

Lunch: Ruccola, avocado, beet roots, goat cheese, walnuts. (salt and pepper)
The. Best. Lunch. Ever.

Breakfast the day after: Home made bread made of a gazillion different kinds of flour and seeds, apricots and lingonberry. On top of it: Ruccola, cold left over beet roots and goat cheese.
SO GOOD!

Last sunday at work I made cauliflower and broccoli soup and baked Ett Fantastiskt Bröd (A Fantastic Bread). It is what it's called. Truly fantastic. Sorry for the sideways photo. It's called art. Or somehing (cough! LAZY! cough!).

Yes! Fantastic, I tell you!
It was appreciated by everybody at work. I love baking bread for people!

It was winter and I bought a winter coat in LA. Came home to a Sweden perfect for my new coat. Brrr!

Then the sun came! I celebrated with yellow legs and a hat.

Last week all these arrived! I have been waiting a couple of weeks for this load of socks and tights from We Love Colors to reach my mailbox.
This spring is going to be my most vibrant ever, it's a promise!

With my new tights came spring.
Minty legs, vintage velvet jacket and a mini skirt that blew up Marilyn Monroe style when I walked to work.

My favourite vintage shoes!

One day I decided what to wear after I've chosen the socks. So I was all black with yellow pops of color in socks and accesories.
Actually I almost always decide tights or socks before I choose the rest of my outfit. It's the most important piece of clothing, you know!

Wearing my cheeky grin and scarf from the lovely etsy shop Shovava.

Olive green legs, sun glasses and a jacket I bought in Prague a few years ago. I love this jacket but it's really poor quality, the lining ripped the first time I wore it.

And yesterday!
I look a little bit like a leprechaun here. A very stylish leprechaun though.
I was on my way to meet up with some friends for food and wine. It was a really nice evening even though it was so windy that we had to sit inside. I want to sit outside, in the sun and watch the boats drift by! Sooooooooon!

Bonus picture (Proof that I've been doing things except eat, get dressed and look around my apartment.)

Pirates or Spring cleaning?
