Rustic table, rustic dinnerware
Speaking of rustic tables…
One of my absolute favorite stores is Athropologie. They don’t have retailers in Sweden, which means I spend hours in the store when I’m in the US. They’ve got the most beautiful things!
Among other gorgeous stuff (like bags and notebooks), they’ve got amazing home decor – including lots of owl themed things! Above is some sort of dreamy compilation of what I’d one day like to place on my rustic wooden table. Links to all the items below:
Wine glasses, mint plates, multicolored cups/mugs, turquoise & grey painted bowl, pale turquoise mug, pale turquoise bowl, coral cup & saucer, salt dish with spoon, patterned cookie jar, candle, Voluspa candle.
Fall inspiration
I you know, absolutely love Anthropologie, I’d say it’s probably my favorite store. Pity then that they don’t have a shop in Sweden, but all the more excitement when I go to the States. Yesterday, I came across another amazing store called West Elm, which I’d never heard of before. Their style is kind of like Anthropologie, but they’re not quite as pricey.
Needless to say, I am head-over-heels in love with the owl canister from Anthropologie, and then owl mug from West Elm. I sure know how to torture myself looking at all these pretty things I can’t buy. But on the other hand, maybe that’s a good thing – I’d be bankrupt by now otherwise!

Stella McCartney Falabella bag
I am so obsessed with the Stella McCartney Falabella bag. It’s g-o-r-g-e-o-u-s! I’ve had the task of writing about these bags at work lately, which is such torture. I’ve wanted one since I first set eyes on a Falabella ages ago, so all this hands on interaction is killing me. Owning one will remain a dream though, they retail at over $1,000.
Fab things
Three fabulous finds I’m gushing over right now (with price tags that make me dizzy). Oh, please get in my wardrobe right now. Those Givenchy shoes are killing me.

Top your look with a pop of color!
There’s nothing like a pop of color to finish off a look, and bright lights against tanned skin is such a win (rhyme unintentional). I’m currently obsessing over the Marc by Marc Jacobs over the shoulder number above. Oh, if only I had a magical wardrobe that made pretty new things appear every time I open it. Am I the only one that secretly imagines what it would be like to wake up to a wardrobe containing one of every item at say, net-a-porter.com?

Shoes!
I can obsess about running and training shoes as much as a pair of Jeffrey Campbells.
These are like pieces of candy and I want every one of them! I’ve been obsessing over the Nike free Run+ 2 and the Nike Free 3.0 V3 for a long time, but I love the Nike Wmns Free Trainer Fit 2 also… and the new Nike Lunareclipse +2 are such a fun and bold color.
What training shoes do you have? Which of the above would you like?
Add it to the wish list: Clare Vivier
I love these Clare Vivier clutches, they come in a wide range of colors and are available in four sizes. They’re priced at $156

Spring colors from Essie
My nails are a mess this time of year. They’re dry, brittle, crack and split. Today I got some strengthening/hardening nail polish that I’m going to try for the next couple of weeks to see if the quality of my nails improve at all. Hopefully by the time Spring rolls around they’ll be in good enough shape to show off with some pretty polish.
Here’s the latest collection from Essie. Their spring colors are fresh, fun and pastel-y (which we all know goes great with tanned skin). I’d like to try “to buy or not to buy” and “a crewed interest”.
What’s your favorite spring nail color?
