Fall is almost so beautiful it hurts right now. Wouldn’t mind at all making a setting like this next weekend to make sure to enjoy it all as much as possible before everything turns grey.

Still home with a sore throat but feeling a little bit better and have got the best Friday feeling. Lots of work needs to be done by the end of this day before next week´s work up north so work before play and soon weekend! Have a good one everybody xx
A few days in October already but can´t leave the beautiful month of September without putting together a list so here we go:
Travel: The only place I want to go to right now….our second home. Long walks by the sea, good food, sauna and after a very cold jump in the ocean you are as good as new.
Flower: Heading for Fall most of the flowers entering my home right now are in this shade. Love going darker when the evenings are getting longer and longer. Trying to embrace what´s to come. Also perfect combined with milky whites.
Bedroom: This bedroom view goes hand in hand with my wishes of spending time in the country house very soon. Warm inside, crispy and moody outside. Perfect combination.
Words: Words can not describe the feelings and thoughts that probably go on in all of our heads from one devastating act in the world to another. Please stop the hatred and let the light in.
Series: OMG it´s not for sensitive people, makes you feel sick at times but it´s also really good. Based on Margaret Atwood´s novel of dystopia Gilead, Elisabeth Moss is brilliant in the role as ”Offred”.
Sustainable pick: From September 30th until October 8th Naturskyddsföreningen are running the initiative of ”The environmental friendly week”. This time focus is what kind of beauty products we use and what is in them; soap, shampoo, lotions etc etc. We need to get better to make sure that what we are using is actually truly environmentally friendly and Naturskyddsföreningen is trying to help for example by putting their label on products that have been approved through their guidelines & also by pushing companies and others to only use approved products. You can read more and participate in the campaign here.
Hope everyone have had a nice and relaxing summer! I´m sorry for complete lack of updates but I really needed a proper break during this summer. Had to clean my head making room for new inspiration, plans and visions and letting this slowly grow has really been a great experience. Even though I´m stuck with a cold now and piles of work I still feel refreshed, excited and filled with ideas for the future. So little time so much to do. Let´s keep the balanced mood for a bit longer and get this Fall going! Good to be back xx
I know we have already entered November so it´s a little bit late but could´t resist starting the weekend with a list for October anyway. Happy weekend everybody!
Travel: Right now I have absolutely no desire to go abroad but would´t at all mind a staycation here in Stockholm. Just me and my love for at least one night.
Shoes: I really want a pair of burgundy heals (not that I wear heals that often, especially not in bed, but still enjoy dreaming about it). Those heals look super thin and will probably cause a fracture but oh how they would make any outfit more fun.
Outdoor space: Since travel above offered a bedroom view I´m changing the bedroom category for outdoor space instead. This is the way I want to spend the days of Fall.
Office: Last week I did a photo shoot for Residence Magazine in a home with an amazing home office to be inspired by. I love working for them as it always takes me to amazing places. The issue will be out next month and until then the colours and textures of this space will stay in my mind. It´s an office corner of a bedroom of Mauritzhof Hotel in Münster.
Food: I´ve only made something with pumpkin once and that was cooking pumpkin soup when living in Paris 18 years ago so I can´t really say it´s one of my signature ingredients. But yesterday I had the most amazing warm pumpkin, sage & almond dish and now all I want to do is try something similar again. This recipe of Maple roasted pumpkin with chili and feta looked really good, maybe something for the weekend?
Series: Have always had a crush on Sarah Jessica Parker, from Girls Just Wanna Have Fun to classic Sex & The City. So needless to say I was really happy to see her star in the new series ”Divorce” on HBO, so good.
Sustainable pick: How come all products always empty at the same time? They are not at least by me used in the same way, the bottles are of different sizes and so on but still it seems they follow the same trend. This time I want to find some new products as I have always used the same and found Moonsun over at Make It Last. Good reviews, organic and with high quality ingredients. Please make me glow!
Music:Solange´s album ”A Seat at the Table” was released in September and has been the soundtrack of my work days since then. One of those albums that put you in a good and calm mood.
If it wasn´t for the rain that keeps on pouring down outside this would be the perfect setting right now. I love Fall and want to spend as much time as I can outside with a warm sweater, a blanket and some hot beverages so this is my hope for next weekend.
Tonight I would like to say goodbye to grey skies and freezing wind by ending up in this kitchen cooking some pasta with a glass of red. One can always dream.
