I'm movin'

So finally, I have settled everything with my new place (my blog place) and I can now announce that my blog is moving, to the great team over at Spotlife.

All my Blogolvin' followers will be moved in the near near future. But in the meantime, you can manually visit my blog at:

See you there for a bright new future! xo

black/white cornfield

Two black and white shots of a shoot I did out on a splendid, beautiful, yellow cornfield a couple of weeks back.

Black Luxury

illustration: Valeria Rienzi

Black is never going to be boring for me, black is sheer luxury for me, in its finest form. Especially when you add leather to that black and it becomes a polished wholeness of perfection. Today I did just that - wearing all black in all it's luxurious simplicity by adding new cool shoes from NastyGal , my favorite bag from Clare V. , a shopping bag from Rodebjer (containing some delicious things) and the equally graceful Grace. 

All of this captured perfectly by my friend, the talented Valeria, in the first photo.

Two

I am still working on the move of my blog so I am a bit MIA because of that, but things will hopefully be back to normal SOON enough. I'm alive and well so don't you worry about that (if you were, who knows). Above and below are two snaps of when I was doing a shoot in the streets of Old Town, wearing the stunning Rodebjer Odessa Coat in creamy white.Be well!

corn field detail

To those of you who have reached my blog in spite of Tumblr shutting the traffic from Bloglovin' off, yay you're here! For those of you who haven't (and won't see this in any case) , well that sucks and Tumblr is stupid and I can hint to all of you that I am in the process of moving my blog to a better place so don't you worry, soon things will be back to normal! In the meantime, here is a little peek of what I was wearing when we were shootin' on the corn fields the other day. More of it will come later of course.

Old Town Wanderings

First of all, I am in a crisis situation with my blog since it was recently discovered that my RSS feed to Bloglovin' has stopped working, and most of you are following me via Bloglovin', which means you probably won't see this either, but for those who do: that's the case for now. There's a problem with all Tumblr blogs + Bloglovin' and they are trying to solve it but no good news yet. KEEP FINGERS CROSSED.

Then, now, secondly but what should be most importantly: here is a post from last week when me and mom headed down to Stockholm. I was spending some time doing lovely things in the summer heat. More of that later. Here I am wearing an orange dress walking around the Old Town.

Dress: VILA

Bag: Clare V.

Shoes: Topshop

Sunnies: GiantVintage

CREEM mag editorial

 Republished because of error with Bloglovin':

A while back I styled a story for CREEM magazine (a New York-based magazine I have been working and collaborating with on many levels this past year).

This was a shoot based on the upcoming, South Korean designer Big Park's AW14 collection. I had a ton of fun styling my model friend Kiera Latham in sculptural structures, big oversized layers and quirky details. Mixing minimalism with quirky-ness - which is, as you all know, my favorite thing to do. Below is the result.

  Photographer: Daniel Cassady 

Styled by: meeee

Hair/make up: Emma Clarkin

Model: Kiera Latham @ APM Models

duvet out of its comfort zone

The rest of my "morning shoot part deux". Bringing my duvet outside of our house, clad in the new perfect bed linens I just got. I've always liked the idea of finding the beauty in things that are outside of their comfort zone: such as a duvet and bed linens not in a bed. Makes it all a tad more interesting, or something.

Duvet: Hemtex, Coffee cup: Rörstrand (handmade in Sweden), Shoes: Birkenstock

another morning shoot

Another headshot from part two of my morning shoots. Wrapped in a duvet, because what is more perfect than a cozy duvet on a hot summer morning (sort of almost certainly joking, it was a teeny bit too hot). Anyway, more of this shoot will be up here soon. On another note, I am currently spending some time in Stockholm - because catching up on my country's beloved, old capital is never a bad idea. More of this later on as well.

into the wild

illustrations: Valeria Rienzi

Do you see something new in the photo above? Maybe your eye is currently catching the splendid illustrations of what I'm wearing next to my regular photo. If it is, then it's seeing what it's supposed to see. 

I have started working with the ridiculously talented Valeria of Good Objects (follow her instagram HERE & Tumblr HERE) and these illustrations are the result of our first little collab. I love the simple yet poignant look they have. More illustrations like these will surely show up on my blog in the near future, so stay tuned.

In this particular post I am hanging out in the wildernes - meaning the little field behind our house, but shhh it's totally wild.

summer wilderness

A couple of detail shots from tomorrow's blog post. Embracing the wild child inside of myself in this one.

Hope you're enjoying your week so far. Here in Sweden we are having the heatwave of a lifetime, hot hot hot.

morning snaps

Shot by my talented and lovely mom, wearing H&M from top to toe - here are the rest of the shots from "a morning portrait".

a morning portrait

A little peek of a Sunday morning shoot I did this weekend. Ditching make-up because of freckles. I loved this portrait, so I wanted to share this with you. Have a nice day in the midst of July, no matter if it's rainy (like here) or sunny (like probably everywhere else)

by the flowers

A couple of nights ago me and my good friend Eric were chiling in the city centre of my hometown, it was one of those fine summer evenings with warm breezes far into the night, honey-coated chevré salads and the most unpretentions snaps being clicked. These shots are a combined result of my unprepared, candid posing and Eric's natural talent for capturing people like me on camera. 

Enjoy.

Montenegro

While I was in Croatia we also took a little trip to Montenegro: its neigbour-country. It was a cloudy, rainy day but the beauty of this tiny, young country in the east of Europe is fairytale-like no matter what the weather is, I believe: green mountains, floral-clad house exteriors, Medieval towns where one could easily get lost from one street to another. Here's my Montenegro photo diary.  

First we took a boat out to a little tiny island where there was a little tiny chapel. Notice the emphasis on "little" and "tiny", this is because a lot of things seemed that way, especially in contrast to all the big mountains that surrounded the places we went to. 

We hanged out with the big yachts in the marina too in the afternoon. Mountains, oh those terrifyingly beautiful mountains. 

When was the last time you saw building year "809" on an exterior? Doesn't happen a lot, unless you live in a Medieval town, that is.

Gettin' Patterned

Here is the full look ,as promised, to yesterday's detail. Mixing stripes and dots may seem outrageous at first but then I thought, no, why not? Always ask "why not?" instead of "why?" when in doubt. Although, on a second thought, don't trust me blindly on that one. Thanks to Koshka for the shirt, It's ridiculously perfect for warm summer evenings.

Striped shirt: Koshka (click to get to product)

Shorts: Holly Whyte x Lindex

Clutch: Clare Vivier

Shoes: Asos

Bracelets: Kii Shop

Just a little detail of what I was wearing in last night's summer breezes. The shirt I'm wearing is a favorite from my longtime online favorite ShopKoshka. More of this to come tomorrow, stay tuned people. And stay hydrated.
