Photoshoot

I photographed a gorgeous family of three and
with a little girl on the way last Sunday. The family also includes the
most lovely little staffy. It was a fun and playful photoshoot with lots of
smiles and a mischievous little man. Thank you for a fun and windy afternoon
and I hope you will treasure the photos.

Day dreaming

Pics: Skeppsholmen
I sometimes have a break between excel spreadsheets and my mind land somewhere in real estate heaven. As you might all know by now, I dream of having our own little house in Sweden. Today I came across THE house – Perfect location and oh so pretty, close to family and the beach!! Unfortunately way out of our price range, but hey it doesn’t cost to dream right!

Point + Shoot: Weekend by the beach

We swapped our inner city apartment for a family house by
the beach this weekend. We had promised to look after my fiancés parents two cats
and dog so off we went. We enjoyed ourselves from the moment we arrived. There
is something special about falling asleep to the sounds of the ocean with a cat
curled up closely to you. We started the mornings with pancakes and numerous
cups of tea reading the paper, we never take time to just sit down and read the
paper, so this was a relaxing change. We are now back in the spinning wheel and
I will miss the morning walks along the beach with the dog. Lets just say that
we will be more than happy to cat and dog sit again!

Kitchen Inspiration

Pics: Kvänum
I think that kitchens from Kvänum has got the perfect combination of form and function. They use natural materials like wood, leather, wool and cotton for all of their products. I think it’s nice when something has been produced with the nature and environment in mind.

Point + Shoot: My Weekend

This photograph summarize my weekend quiet well. I have
taken time to relax, spent quality time with my girlfriends and enjoyed long
walks along our beautiful coastline with my fiancé. I couldn't have asked for
anything more to prepare myself for a busy week at the office. I wish you all a
good week!

Macaron

My work colleagues and I got treated with lovely macarons today at the office. I have loved these little sweet treats since I tried the real thing in Paris. My fiancé and I stopped by Laduree every day for a quick sugar fix before we walked the streets of Paris, oh bliss! I have tried to bake macarons myself but I have to say that I better leave it to the experts!

Yoga

My friend Claire and I signed up to do an intensive two week
ashtanga yoga course a few weeks ago and it all started this week. We arrived
at the same time the first morning with our mats under our arms, both excited
but a little on edge. I think we both asked ourselves why we had committed to
getting up at 5.30 in the morning every weekday for two weeks. I very soon realised
it’s all worth it – Today is day 4 and I’m really enjoying it. It’s a great way
to start the day and its a nice break from my normal morning routine which
includes weights, sprints and a loud PT. I think yoga could become my new
thing..

Moo

Pic: NorthernLighting
I find this wall-mounted moose head lamp incredible cool!
The material gives a smooth and transparent light and it stands out like a
kitch trophy. Quiet different I have to say to my dads real trophy wall, I
remember the shiver that went through my body as I walked past that particular
wall as a child. This moose lamp is more of a recognition and celebration of
the King of the Forest - Me like!

Gult är inte fult

Pics: Alvhem
I love it when people throw a bright colour into the mix, it makes it all a little more fun. This yellow colour really pops and makes a cool statement.

Shades of White

Pics: SkonaHem
Looking at these photographs gives me a calm feeling, shades of whites does that to me. I like the little library in the bedroom. I’d love to have a small library of some sort one day where I could gather all my Swedish and English books.

Pastels

Pics: SkonaHem

I like this pale and neutral colour scheme, especially in a bedroom. I think its easier for us girls to get away with decorating in pink if it’s a nice soft pastel pink. At the moment I’m looking for bedside tables for the new bedroom and these are the colours I can see myself decorating the bedroom in. . Soft grey, pink and whites.

Point + Shoot: 2nd Birthday

Playing along with Sunny+Scout

We went to a very special little boy’s 2nd birthday party this weekend. I was amazed by the great effort put into the homemade train cake! I loved the blue and green balloons and gorgeous little lolly bags. There is something special about children’s birthday parties – It gives us all a chance to feel a little like kids again and eat lots of sugary treats. That together with dear friends makes the best weekend! I hope you enjoy the photos I captured!

Sunday frame of mind

I want to say 2 things tonight..

If it makes you happy, do it.
If it doesn’t, then don’t.

We are faced with so many options in our lives, but when it
comes to happiness I like the idea of simply having 2 choices...

Tomorrow I will be sharing photos from a
gorgeous birthday party ♥

Winterland

In the middle of our summer my mum called and told me they
have minus 10 degrees and heaps of snow. Our worlds are so different but we are
still so close. My family is always very close in my mind and I think about
them every day. Our bond and love for each other is so strong and stretches around
the world. One day we will spend more time together than just a yearly visit –
I promise ♥
