Hopes

My friend told me yesterday that she prefers her resolution to be with a positive approach rather than the traditional negative for next year I will stop...instead look at them as for next year I will try to get better on. I like that. 

I am not a resolution for new years only person. I rather make up my resolutions as the year go by.

I have hopes for 2012 (besides THE list of essays that needs to score A+s on...imaginary saving accounts which is needed to be open and shoes that I need in my life...I want to)

- Stay in New York for as long as possible and see new places in the states...(before I leave here in September (hopefully) I want to have at least been in LA and Miami...I just saw the Bergdorf Goodman cruise catalog...I love the model Bambi from Australia. She looks just stunning in this shoot and makes me want to go on holiday...LIKE NOW!)

 Other hopes for 2012...

- Get a job that actually pays

- Hopefully find a man who lives in the same country as me for more then a month (I SURE have a way of picking them...)

Bergdorf Goodman Cruise dreams...

NEED IN MY LIFE!

 

Tea party anyone?!

 

HELLOOOOOOO!!

New Years planning...

Moving in prosecco from the 54th floor...oh home SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEET home!!

I found a place in New York!! For my first weekend in the new fabolous place a couple of friends came over and we ended up having a prosecco filled night on one of the roof terrasses...

Wishlist from the new season...

 As the holiday is approaching we all need something new to wear (I was just informed by the folks that I have three days of Christmas parties with relatives when I head back next weekend) What I love about Christmas (besides giving back to the people who are always there for me) is that I now have to get three new outfits and I am looking to the new resort collections.

My every season favorite, Phillip Lim did an amazing job as always. (I usually HATE orange (even on Stella McCartney's catwalk) but PL somehow makes me crave it...)

Sometimes it is painful to do my job...like when a beauty like above and below comes back from glamorous people (can't tell any names...)

 Pucci, pucci, pucci...

I used to be completely obsessed with the stunning creations of Matthew Williamson for the legendary Italian holiday wear label. (being Swedish I found it therapeutic to wear over-the-top color and prints). The departure of Mr Williamson is one of my life's biggest heartbreaks. The jet-set fav replacer Mr Dundas, may have given the brand a new face lift but it has taken me almost three years to go into the Pucci corner without a big frown upon my face. But for Resort 2012, my obsession is BACK! I cant wait for this to hit the store! 

I think I've found my new years outfit...

There is something about December...It is the month that I always think I SHOULD enjoy, (aka embrace the Christmas spirit and do all the things that comes with it...Being Swedish the countdown for Christmas it actually even more important then the actual holiday days...during the different advents there is an activity for all of them...such as baking, make candles, wrap the gifts, make candy) well lets just say busy New York life does not really leave any room for it...Today (2nd of advent...) what did I do...ehm woke being tiered, spent half the day in bed, before going out trying to find a Barney's COOP, top up my phone, had lunch, bought some groceries and went home to find my housekeeper in the middle of cleaning, so I left again and went to do work in my buildings private club. If my mummy had been in charge of the day we would have gone to a Christmas market, had lunch, gone home to prepare a big family dinner and then enjoyed it all together...Well I have about fifteen days left in New York before Im back to first London, then mummy in Sweden!

2nd advent

Lanvin days...

Halloween

i just moved to New York two days ago and realized that there is Halloween this weekend...Well being European we hardly even know what it is...I usually consider it the worst holiday as I have the biggest fear for spiders...This year however I am going to quite a few parties...so I am looking for some inspiration and came across this in Italian Vogue...MAMMA MIA

 8h on a plane

1 aicking back

2 pairs of craycray colored pants

4 amazing friends

New neighbor...I think we could become PRETTY good friends...

oh West Village...how I L-O-V-E you!!

BTW...on my first day in NYC I ended up going to Jefferey's OH MY LORD it is AMAZING! I have lived in London and been amazed by Matches and DSM...Ive been to Paris and Collette...and Ive lived in Florence and Milano (and had my fair share of in-store Luisaviaroma and Corso Como...)

but Jefferey's...Yeah lets just say...I will be spending a LOT of time there! It is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!!

(and they loved my leopard printed tods...aka now I love them!)

X O X O

New York!New York!

I know! I know! I KNOW! Ive been MIA...but I do have a good reason...Ive moved across the pond...No more pretending to be an English rose pour moi... (I do still appreciate the beauty of a fashion shoot featuring (THE) one though...)

Leopard paws

 From left: Sequin Phillip Lim shorts, urban outfitters sweater, phillip lim jacket, Ps1, Pucci Tote

YSL ring, Salvatore Ferragamo flats 

Stella McCartney knitted sweater, Phillip Lim skirt, Isabel Marant boots, Vintage fur collar (mummy's <3) and I decided it was time to give PS1 a rest...so brought out good old (11 months...) Celine

I always walk to work, which means I have to wear flats, so I have to invest in cute and comfy once. My latest obsession is leopard printed loafers (and a couple of weeks ago I was in Milano and managed to find the dreams...Tod's leopard printed pony hair loafers! So cute I could NOT resist!)

other obsessions...

(http://www.barneys.com/Bernice/501300289,default,pd.html?cgid=WOMENS_COOP_FLATS )

these were chosen by Taylor Tomasi Hill as a fall have-to-have at Barneys...I think I might need to get them once Im settled in New York...

SPEAKING OF...

So no one ever said that moving across the pond is such a pain. But occasionally I had to listen the friends who actually done it before and it always was summed up with “it is VERY stressful!”

Maybe I should have paid more attention to these sum ups since I now all of a sudden find myself in the middle of the same hell. I have given up a life in London (a pretty damn good life as well) just to go live in New York. About a month ago I though this is going to be painful, but now it is painful…(for the past three days I have cried in public/office, been told off countless times and now I am about to pack up 40 pairs of shoes and move next weekend…

...

This weekend I ended up in a slightly bizarre club in Soho (dont even remember the name to be honest) but the music was great and I had fun. I love the pineapples in the ceiling...)

For a hungover catch up with my friend B we went to my new London obsession...The W hotel in Leisteer Square. (I know it is a horrible area but I find this the ultimate escape from all the tourists and non interesting tourist attractions...)

I love the Alice by Temperley bike on display in W (btw one of my New York dreams for is to have the Missoni for Target bike and go biking in West Village...wearing matching (non target) Missoni...)

on the way home we passed by Patrick Cox Cookies and Cupcakes in Brewer Street...bite me!
