Midsummersday 2013

Since I am in our summerhouse my days are so lazy. There is no makeup and all my clothes are all about comfort and being appropriate for working in the garden and going out in the archipelago with the boat. When celebrating midsummer, which was yesterday, with friends a big part is the dressing up, wearing a nice dress and some flowers in the hair. But yesterday was spent with a somewhat pyjamaslooking outfit and then falling a sleep next to the table on a bench in the sun. But I did shoot some nice pictures of the food we ate and I wanted to share them with you.

My current obsession

My current obsession is this oil from NUXE. I have it in my office and those days I wear a skirt or a dress I just spritz some on my legs giving them this ubernice shine. The handcream to the left is also a  little sumfingsumfing I have in my office. because lord knows it comes in handy *no pun intended*.

NUXE can be bought in the Swedish pharmacy.

A great highlighter - Benefit High Beam

Yesterday I got asked on Twitter for a tip on a great highlighter. I gave the woman two great choices. The second one was Mac's "shroom" which is an eyeshadow which is absolutely divine on the eyes. BUT it's also a great highlighter to put on top of your cheekbones, the bridge of your nose or wherever you want a little sheen.

The second choice was Benefit's "high beam". It comes in a glassjar in a liquid form. I adore it and use it almost every day. I bought the high beam on Sephora in Copenhagen, this was before Sephora opened up in Malmö. I also bought the benefit "bene tint" which is a cheekcolour also in a liquid form.

Both can now be found on every Sephora in Sweden, aswell as Sephora world wide.

A great purchase

I bought the most amazing shoes the other day. Black pumps with a metal cap on the toes. What drew me to these shoes was that the metal has this intricate almost lacelooking detail. I thought it gave the shoes a little more caracter making them less anonymous. These I will wear both working and playing, either with jeans and a simple top or with a fierce coctaildress.

Today's wishlist

Today I don't wish for material things, today I wish for more days like the ones we had in Greece. One week of lazy days lying by the pool. We were reading tons of books, eating loads of olives, suvlaki and fetacheese. We took small trips up in the mountain and to a local market.

The swedish summer has proved itself to be as most swedish summers are. Uncertain weather with sun, rain, thunder and clouds all in the same day. In Greece the sky was as blue as the ocean and not a single cloud in sight during the days.

Glossybox june 2013

It's been ages since I blogged and the reason is totally legit! I've spent one week in gorgeous Greece together with my family and I have loads of pictures to share. And the other timeconsuming issue has been that we live in a very old apartment and as a result we have vermins in all the closets. So every piece of clothing etc has been washed, tumbledried and ironed. We're still not done and every minute has been spent on trying to decontaminate the house.

This weekend we have gone to my parents summerhouse in the archipelago so I have some minutes over to blog. I thought I would take the chance to show you the latest Glossybox, even tough it's long over due.

A cleansing conditioner from Wen, a small sample of sunscreen from Hawaiian tropic, nailpolish from color club ( I'm not that fond of the colour), a moisture facecream from Akademikliniken and a body was from Dr Brenner.

My new facepowder. And the verdict...... LOVE IT!

Cover of the week

Vogue Germany sporting Karmen Pedaru on their June 2013 cover.

I ADORE this cover because I need sun and the ocean. I want to lie in sun, reading tons of books and swim for hours in the ocean. I want to have bronzed skin, sunkissed cheeks and not needing any other makeup than a pop of colour on my lips.

This colours also proves what I already knew. Sunkissed skin looks phenomenal with blacks and gold!

My current wishlist

Moroccan oil light, Kashmirsweater in offwhite, Avéne soothing moisture mask

Inspiration right now

This is the dropdead gorgeous blogger Nicole Warne, the creator of the blog Gary Pepper.I die for her blog. She mixes vintage, designerpieces and budgetpieces into to the most creative, stylish and fascinating outfits. She has this aura of chicness and sophistication about her. I really feel one should have her as a best friend!

Whenever she wears a piece of clothing from a cheaper brands, such as H&M or ASOS, they always look expensive. No one would even know they were from a budgetstore did she not tell us. I think I have looked trough her blog awkwardly many times. I simply adore her!

Go to her blog and give her a whole lot of loving. Because I do appreciate a blogger liker her so much. We who blog all know the time and effort that is put into every blogpost. What makes her special from other bloggers is that she chooses both the outfit AND the location to shoot the outfit at. This means that every blogpost is like an editorial spread in any highfashion magazine.

Nicole, you are a bloggerhero! Go girl! Go!
