Super Mum is back and she's had a really chilled out weekend with her family. Friday evening, as per usual, we made pizza together and enjoyed a glass of wine in our newly renovated kitchen. On Saturday I finally got hold of a new pair of curtains which now decorate my living room. It's amazing how much a room can change, just by changing one element in that room. It's so much brighter and crisper now. I'll follow up with a pic soon. Today … [Read more...]

We're enjoying a perfect Sunday.This morning we woke up at 10.20 (just being able to have a lie in is bliss), and enjoyed a fantastic breakfast with my mum and dad. We had stayed the night with them, as we celebrated by brother's 28th birthday yesterday. Happy Birthday Per! Having breakfast in my mum and dad's is something else. Here at home, our treat on the weekend is coffee and fried egg on toast, but my parents put on some spread. … [Read more...]

Today we got to view 3 photographs, two by … [Read more...]
London Fashion Week kicks off today with some very exciting runway shows. See the complete schedule here. I am particularly interested in Sass & Bide, the Australian duo who have been showing since 200 in London. I am also interested in seeing what Stella McCartney and Vivienne Westwood has to offer. I am a huge Westwood fan, in particular I like her point of view when it comes to consume fashion. Don’t buys more than you need.. or … [Read more...]
Over the weekend we've done lots of shopping, actually very little for me and Pixie. In fact most of it was for my husband. It's quite an unusual occurrence as he's the man who's got everything (including a loving wife). But it was time to upgrade the wardrobe. We managed to source 4 pairs of trousers from Dockers (well one pair fit him and as he hates trying on clothes he got himself 4 pairs), we also got 2 pairs of sneakers from Acne and a … [Read more...]
I have been working from home today, my cold just isn't going away, so now it's time for drastic measure. Lots of green tea and Berocca (antioxidants), early nights, and lots of asthma medicine. Today I am wearing an outfit inspired by a recent photo of Tory Butch's stepdaughter Izzie, as featured in August's US Vogue. I just love the striped jacket, (mine is from Bershka) and the blue jeans. This might be the last chance for this summer … [Read more...]
I am still not well, and today I didn't even manage to get out of bed this morning. Luckily, my dear husband decided to drop Pixie to pre-school so that I couldget myself together, have some breakfast and get some work done. Yes, I didn't call in sick, instead I worked out of my bed for an hour or so, got some coffee and toast and then I dragged myself in to the office. My voice has been coming and going all day, not good. I have a … [Read more...]
Today we paid a visit at Moderna Museet here in Stockholm. They arrange guided tours for children every Sunday, which end in an hour long session in the childrens workshop. Pixie reacted to a photograph by Jeanloup Sieff, a portrait if Yves Saint Laurent. “he’s a litte naked-fart” (in Swedish Nakenfis). Overall it was a [...]
I’m on my tod this evening, gallery season has begun and my dear husband is out to see some shows. To use this free time efficiently I decided to start swapping wardrobes, summer out, autumn and winter in. There is still some stuff to get out, but so far 15 dresses, 5 shorts,, 3 jeans, [...]
Summer has arrived yet again. I’ve already been a two-week holliers in Crete, Greece, which I loved and adored. I chilled out, spent time with my daughter Pixie and my husband Mark and truly had a great time. I love going on holidays in June, summer hasn’t started yet in Sweden and in southern Europe [...]
It’s hard to be fashionable when you spend the day in juicy couture pants and the a grey cashmere top with big holes on the elbows. I have spent the past few days at home with a little pixie with a bad cold. We’ve managed to get out for a little bit but not enough [...]
I am planning for the BIG gala next week, Best Workplaces Sweden Stockholm Awards, our annual event, where we recognise the companies that fare best in our evaluation. I can’t wait to meet everyone and to celebrate their amazing achievement I wanted to look like this! But I decided it wasn’t really my style… As [...]
