"I travel

therefore I am"

If you want to be ahead of the rest go to Tel Aviv this year.
According to Lonely Planet Tel Aviv is the third hottest place to travel to in 2011, New York is number 1. Since I was in New York already in 2010 I must be really it?!?!

Honestly, Tel Aviv doesn't really do it for me. I'd rather go to Tangier wich is number 2 on the list.
I suppose Paris and Rome are totally out.... for me Paris and Rome always works.

This Xmas Mr S wants to go all inclusive in Egypt and I want to spend a cava drench Xmas at a design hotel in Barcelona or a super luxorious long week end at the Hassler in Rome. They offer a harp concert. I have never heard a harp concert live - how cool wouldn't that be?!?!
And they serve 5 o'clock tea. I have already decided to wear my pink Prada cashmere sweater and black pants, while I sip a cup of Earl Grey and read a book.
I would spend all 3 days in this glorious hotel and never leave, unless to visit my lover Salvatore on Via Condotti.

I feel a bit bad about leaving town for Xmas as my parents will be all alone this year. Sis is going to spend Xmas with her boyfriend, his brother and family. I wonder what that'll be like. I'd love to be a fly on that wall during Xmas Eve.

What are your plans?

Take care

Back in Blue

So the Allince won, as I hoped but on the down side. the Swedish democrats made it into the Senate.
Sweden is getting colder.
I had hoped that the other parties would have opened up and invited them in to the debates. Monsters bursts in the light of day.

I usually don't endorse violence but some people just bring out the evil side of me.
But we'll see how they act in civilized company - it's not really their scene, is it??!?
On the upside New York was great. Shopping, street life, good food, cool people - loves it!

We took a helicopter ride over Manhattan which was fierce. I saw the WTC/Ground Zero. We actually left on Sept 11th and I spent that day at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
I never went to Moma since it is opposite of the Manolo Blahnik store - a girl has to prioritize sometimes.

Now bedtime. I need my beauty sleep

Oh Wow

Long time and no updates.
I have been a busy bee.
Once we came back from holiday in Italy I just did some laundry and repacked and was off to Italy again for a conference trip with work. We went to Milan and Lago Maggiore. Stayed at fierce hotels and partied and some nice places.
Star Rosa Grand in Milan and Hotel Iles Borromes by the lake.
It was very nice. A co worker and me (we both love our shoes) managed to do the enitre shopping street of Milan. She picked up a fabolous pair of Jimmy Choos and I found a Prada knitted sweater. When in Milan - buy Prada.

And now to save money I am officially not shopping. I haven't bought any clothes, shoes or make up since I came back from Milan on Aug 1st and I am not allowed to buy anything until we go to New York.

We did however buy a new bed since it was a special offer and the old bed is not comfortable any more.
Eventually we decided to buy a Jensen bed - it is supposed to be very good for the back. They buidl it on demand which is cool so it will be delivered once we are back from New York.

I have booked 2 really nice hotels in New York The GEM in Soho and the Alex. I also booked us dinner at Riingo, Marcus Samuelssons restaurant - will be fierce. Loves it she does!

Now I should get back to work. I have to arrange a herring plate for one of our bosses from Paris. I am not only a PA I am also a cook and a waitres. Love my life sometimes....

Take care

In paradise

I believe I have found my paradise: Tuscany - the Chianti area. At the moment Mr S and myself are waiting for the soccer final to start after a very nice dinner at the Villa Capovento
It is truly amazing here. We have so far seen San Giminiano, fierce little village that is a world heritage site several vineyards where we bought a lot of wine. With the new flight rules, no liquids, they offer to ship the wine to your home so we have bought several cases of differnt wines and some grappa for Mr S.
Today we spent the day in Siena. They are getting ready for Il Palio a horse race in the center of Siena. The different quarters compete agains each other and it is dead serious.
In San Giminiano we found a fierce store Essentia Arte, owned by a Swedish woman and her Italian husband. She makes clothes and he is an artist, a sculptor.

Tomorrow we are moving on to Florence and the Salvatore Ferragamo store - my temple of bliss.

Now the game is on. I have no personal favourite this time but the WC finals is lwayd the WC finals.
And I will drink my daily prosecco while I watch them run

Take care

Easter in the East

Am now back from Budapest whishing I wasn't. I really like that town. It reminds me of Paris - just a bit more rough around the edges. We arrived on Thursday morning after a short lay over in Vienna. Took a taxi from the airport to the hotel, Intercontinental located just next to the Danube and the Winston Churchill square.
As an extra up - simply because we are worth it- Mr S joined the Club Intercontinental so we could hang out in the lounge i.e Happy hour on everything between 6 pm and 8 pm.

Amazingly enough I only bought one thing: a pair of sunglasses, Roberto Cavalli.
I found a few things that I liked but I stayed strong and resisted my urges thinking about my future shopping in Milan and New York.

The food was great! I possibly had the best desert I've ever had: White chocolate cake with coconut, strwberries and chocolate honey cream. It was amazing. I wish I hadn't been so full - I couldn't finish it. The restaurant DIO was really great - money very well spent.
On Sunday we rented a car and drove to Szentendre and visited the studio of Margit Kovacs - famous hungarian artist. Her work is really emotional and beautiful.

Monday, Easter Monday most of the town was closed so we went to the Hungarian History Museum and had lunch in the castle area on the Buda side.

The Hungarians know their goose liver so I had some every day :)
I also found a very good wine store where I picked up a few bottles of Tokaij and Furmint (local Hungarian grape). The same person who ran the wine store also owned a restaurant - Tigris - where we had dinner. I had an amazing grilled tuna with goose liver and Mr S had cat fish.

As soon as I can get my hands on Mr S' computor I will post some photos. I brought my Nikon camera along.

Spring is in the air

Winter seems to be losing the battle. The snow is melting and the sun is shining. Yesterday I took a walk on the ice, possibly the last one this year.

Now I have booked the flights to New York and all I need now is a hotel. Any ideas? I want to spend one night, probably the last one, in a horribly luxorious hotel. I think my husband is worth it.
I am also checking out some restaurants to visit. I'd love to go to Aquavit and 21 and of course go shopping. My shopping partner H is joining :)

Asked sis and her man F is they wanted to come. She said no since that week F's son is staying with them. And since she can't (or won't) go she wrote the whole thing as a bad idea thinking that no one would want to join...
I don't like that about her: the selfishness. And it hasn't improved since she started living with F. In that way they are very much alike...
They did one thing that is completely unbelievable. He went on a one week skiing holiday with his soon to be ex-wife and son. I would not like it if my boyfriend went away with his ex.


Well is it not my problem, my problem, and a very nice one, is to find plan a nice stay i New York.

Take care

A decade of me

A new year and a new decade, new opportunities and hopefullt happy endings.

2000:
Lived in Årsta, south of town in a 1 room apartment. Broke up with abusive boyfriend and tried to find myself again. Instead I lost myself to the party scene in Stockholm.
Travelled to Italy with friends for the first time and rented a house in Tuscany and had a wonderful time.
Left the invesment bank where I worked and started as a horribly under paid consultant.

2001:
Joined a internet net work and met some of my dearest friends. We dressed up like crazy, met in different hotelbars and drank champagne. Travelled to Spain and rented a villa with friends again.
Braided my hair for the first time and read Malcolm X that influenced my a great deal.
Met R and we dated for about 6 months. Broke up but stayed friends. I was there cheering him on when he met his present wife.
9/11

2002:
Still a consultant still badly paid. Spent more time and money than I want to think of partying with friends but we sure had a good time. Kept the braids and bought my first real designer bag. Worked on my taste for champagne and fashion.
This year friends and me went to Malta. The trip included flat tires, 10 000 year old ruins and a lot of sun

2003:
Left my consultant job and Stockholm for school "Eventmanagement" and an apartment in Nyköping. Discovered the joys of finer wines and decided to become a sommelier.
Travelled to Budapest, one of the most beautiful cities I've ever been to.
Anna Lindh was murdered.

2004:
Back to school in Nyköping and did my sommelier degree at the same time. Spend every week end at sis' apartment in Solna, after that we didn't speak for a while.
Summer was spent in Portugal: both Lisbon and Porto. Met Mr M and travelled to Champagne together. Started working at Berns ant at Hufvudsta confrence center.

2005:
Finished school in June but started working in May already. Landed a cool project at an agency that hanles big events. Project ended after 6 months and I went back to working in the restaurant business and started working nights. Bought an apartment in Huvudsta and loved it. Repainted the kitchen green and the sleeping area orange.
Dated a huge number of different men and had some really great times (M - the model) and some really bad (K - the stalker). Met Dr C.

2006:
Kept working in the restaurant business and kept seeing Dr C, had an intense relationship that ended on a very friendly basis.Went to France and travelled on a boat on the Loire river. A wonderful trip I'd love to do again. Met Mr S, moved in together and got engaged after 3 months.

2007:
Started working at NH. Kept two jobs, planned a wedding - quite a stressful year.
Spent the summer driving around Greece. Bought a new aprtment
Got married!

2008:
Landed a huge power job at a big international company. 6 months of renovating our apartment, had to stay with mum and dad - not great.
Moved back to my place in June and went to Istanbul. Possibly one of the coolest towns ever.
Worked hard all fall. Went away for the first time ever during christmas: on a cruise in the Mediterranean. It was fun and possibly something I'd do again.

2009:
Kept working and living with my husband. Sis met her man and they are moving in together in Feb. Worked almost too hard, not really any time for anything else. Spent the summer with husband and husbands son driving around Italy, Germany and Austria - wonderful vacation.
We spent christmas in Spain and New Years with old friends.

That was my decade
How was yours?

A life off line

In Spain, no tv and no internet. Life is rough like a badger's arse

We are staying at a friends apartment in one of those holiday villages. It's like a ghost town, so far I have only seen 2 other people.
But the surroundings are nice and we have a rented car to take us around. So far we have been to Cadiz and Ronda - the rest of the time I have been reading and sleeping.

Yesterday we stopped in Marbella, suppose it's more fun in the summer and I found a shopping mall with one of my favourite stores Desigual and I picked up a fierce coat. I also found Séphora - I wonder if they will ever open up in Stockolm. I should look into getting that franchise actually...

Now I am at a luxury golf resort using their internet since there isn't any in the apartment where we live. I paid 8 euro for a coffe so I'll be surfing for a while to get my money's worth. The coffee was good but not 8 euros good.
This is also where we will be having our Xmas dinner, both Xmas Even and Xmas day.

I'm thinking next Xmas we'll stay at home since my dad's health has gone a bit worse.

Sis is moving in with her boyfriend in the ned of Jan. God, I have bad bad feeling about that. He just isn't the kind of guy I would see her with. He is just so... ordninary not any fun. For laughs he walks, I shit you not, and by walking I mean he walks up in the northern parts of Sweden for 24 hrs non stop. Somehow I can't imagine my sister walking for 24 hrs. When she was a kid we used to call her "Little Princess" this not in a nice girly way. More in the "I'm a spoilt little bitch" kind of way. But what do I know maybe love will change her.
On the other hand I wonder if he know what he is getting himself into

Well time will tell.

Take care

December chills

London was great! I could so live there but I've heard that a 1 room apartment in the basement is about 3000 euros/month.
We arrived on Thursday and went to the hotel. The room was so small, two people couldn't pass eachother... but the location was good: in Bloomsbury, just a few mins walk from the British Museum.
Had lunch with a friend, whos apartment in Spain we will be spending Xmas in.
Then hit the shopping streets. Picked up a fierce Furla bag, my first green bag ever :)
Had a huge hamburger for lunch (I'm not really taking my detox seriously) so when sis arrived later that night we only stopped by the hotel bar for a drink and then to bed.

Henri arrived sometime in the middle of the night.
Next day we did some shopping on Shaftbury Av, some really cool shoe stores.
Then Mr S and I went to shoe heaven aka Manolo Blahnik store and bought shoes. Met up with sis and Henri for a musical "when in Rome..." We saw "A Christmas Caroll" it was good but I prefer the play as there are all the classic carolls in the play.

Saturday was the big shopping day: all of Oxford street and Regent street where closed for traffic. Bought 3 dresses - one for the comapny annual Xmas party.

Then we had dinner at L'Oranger - absolutely lovely French restaurant. Quite expensive but money well spent. Funny fact: for the ladies they have menues with no prices in them... Sis got a bit upset but what the hell. Again "when in Rome..." so the men payed!

Sunday we went to Tate Modern and saw the exhibition "POP Life" good but strange.

Now I have to get some tea and get back to work

Take care

Sunday Night sessions

It's been a very calm and quiet week end.
Friday me and the Ladies had dinner at Cloud Nine. It was as always nice to see them again. Feels like we haven't seen each other in ages but I suppose sometimes life gets in the way of living...
The food was ok, I'd give it 3/5. I had halibut that wa perfectly cooked but it lacked a bit of spicyness.
For dessert we moved into their "Dessert room". It was actually quite disappointing. They offered 2 3-dessert menus for 300 sek (about 30 euros each) As much as I love sweets I won't spend 300 on it.
True to form we stayed until they closed.

Saturday I got up and had some errands to run. Once back home I logged onto hm.com an d quickly bought a Jimmy Choo for H&M bag. I don't really need it (nor should I buy anything at the moment) but I liked so what the h*ll...
I ahve put myself on a shopping "diet" until I go to London. No spontaneous shopping for things I don't need. All I bought this last couple of days is a varm sweater since my office is so cold.

Today I did my laundry and that is about it. I have been reading my self help book also. I chose "Who will cry when you die" by Robin Sharma.
He became famous as The monk who sold his Ferrari (why?!?!). The book is good, some thing he says are totally obvious and some are just nice.

Now I have to do my nails and start preparing mentally for driving to Arlanda and pick up Mr S. He has been in Scotland playing golf at St Andrews.

The sounds of silence

My silence is now officially over. My grand mother (a very wise woman) used to say: If you have nothing good to say then be quiet. So since i haven't really had anything good to ssay I have been quiet.

Now I am back at work after a fierce holiday.
On July 6 we took a plane to Munich, stayed there for two days and then drove to Italy.
I have seen Venice (nice place but I doubt that I will go back), Pisa (nice), Modena (home of Ferraris), Florence (2 pairs of Ferragamos), Caorle (small town on the coast north of Venice), Bolzano (hmm...) Reute in Austria (well, to small for my taste), Salzburg (loves it) and back to Munich. We (Mr S, son M and myself) have enjoyed good food, visiting good friends and some really cool scenery and good shopping.
The last couple of days of holiday we spent around the house - getting ready for fall. Summer is still here - it's nice and warm and I ride my bike to work. Good for the booty! I gained some serious weight this summer (good food and good wine) but from now on I will go on a low carb/no sugar diet.

Coming back to work wasn't easy. I am tired, restless and want to try something new. I'd love to find something to do that actually makes a difference for some one other than myself.
I was thinking about going abroad a do some pro bono work maybe in Africa, but we'll see.

No more news from my strange so called "brother" in the US. Maybe he realized how strange it is to write a letter to a complete stranger and ask for money...

Now I have to make a few calls and at least pretend that I am working.

Take care

One year older

and one year wiser... I hope.
Spent my birthday with friends and family. Had dinner at Pontus by the Sea which was nice.

Sis came back from Vienna with a whole lot of nice things: wine, cheese ans ham. From Mr S I got a really cool bag from designer Kenneth Cole red and very cool - loves it!

Work is busy, I usually come home at around 7 pm daily which I don't like. Work takes way too much time out of life right now.
But on the upside: sis and I are off to London for the week end, doing girls stuff. Shopping, eating good food: I've made reservations at Boxwood Café - one of Gordon Ramseys places that will be interesting :)

Now I must pack

Things I've seen...

Am back from London and at home in bed. Caught a cold, possibly on the flight back home. There was this woman who was seriously coughing her lungs out all the way from London to Stockholm - not very nice.
But I have seen some lovely things. Am already looking forward to going back with sis in May.

British museum - interesting saw among other things the mumies and the Rosetta Stone

Covent Garden - quite an odd place but I bought a nice dress there

Musical - Priscilla - Queen of the Desert, my favourite movie ever and we got some last minute tickets in one of the shops close to Picadilly Circus. It was LOVELY!
"Life is an adventure - Dress Accordingly"

A pub called "The Old Cock" - I laughed for an entire block :)

Harrod's - ah yes, everything one needs to live

Harvey Nicks - liked it but the Istanbul version was better

Manolo Blahnik store - Now, looking back I can agree on the fact that 995 pounds is a lot for a pair of shoes but I still mourn them. Mr S bought his first pair of Manolos - he is more and more becoming one of us...

Food in a pub - I ordered a hamburger and it tunred ou to be a good way of ruining both my mood and 200 grams of perfeclty good Angus beef. Too bad!

Fish and chips - at Harrod's Sea food bar lovely and with 2 glasses of Chablis and a side of Alexander McQueen bag

Docklands - cool bar but bad service. If I order an anti pasto it mean I want it before my main course. I don't want to hear from the waitress "Oh you actually wanted the anti pasto" while bringing my main course...

Street life - very nice. All sorts of people in all sorts of places. We lived in Kensingon which was nice but if I ever move to London I have decided to live at Old Church road, it's filled with the nicest red brick houses with small gardens.

London Eye - high, too many people. Nice view though

Dali exhibition - Love Dali, very good exhibition

Taxis - big confortable and cheap

Metro - Tried it one day, possibly the worst day since 3 of the lines where closed for upgrading so there was a bit of going back and forth. Most of the time we walked actaully. Never tried the buses but they look cool.

Restaurants - so many restaurants so little time. I prebooked The Boundary a very cool place in up and coming district of Shoreditch. Not too expensive, very high service level and good food.

Bars - Met up with girlfriend I from work and her London buddies and tried some bars in Soho. Cool night life!
Chinese food in China town - so good
Indian food - really nice

I like London so now when I have seen most of the tourist stuff I can spend my next visit just strolling around and getting a feel of the town.

Summertime

and the living is easy. Last night watches changed +1 hour.
I wish my job was easy too. I really really reall don't like it anymore. If I were to leave I know I would be ok. Fortunately I have a husband who makes a lot of money but I'd have to say good bye to my friends Manolo, Salvatore and Marc and I am not ready to do that just yet. So I'll hang in there and keep trying.
My bitching about my job seems quite petty when I read about wonderful Lotta who is fighting for her life. I wish her all the best and a long and happy life with husband and child.

My husband is next to me on the couch watching his favourite Jason Bourne film.
Theis weekend we haven't really done anything. I have been working a bit and we have been fixing the apartment. Next week end the hallway will get new wall paper and one corner in the living room will become blue. Should be cool.

For easter we are off to London! It is my first visit ever! So I am really looking forward to it. Then sis and I are going to London again in the end of May and we might go to Vienna for my birthday.
It's like I use to say: The world is a playground - let's play!

Now I must do my nails :)

Spring is in the Air

and it's lovely. So today I am going to leave work early...hopefully and then take my convertible out for a spin :) I wish...
Actually I am going to spend Friday night with manual labour: old wall paper has to go. Wonder if it's ok to drink champagne while working. It's not like I am going to be operating heavy machinery or anything.

Celebrated sis' birthday on Tuesday with dinner at SMAK at Restaurangen. It was nice, good food but service was a bit slow. Their concept is that you order small portions, 1, 3, 5 or 7 with a small glass of wine or beer to match the food. Well worth a visit and not to expensive.
Bought her some stuff for her new bathroom: soap dispenser from VIPP and towels from Gant (nb the name dropping ;)). She liked it but wants different colours so Saturday we are going back to the Mothership to change.

Sunday I am going to bring sis and Mr S to see first an art exhibition at the National gallery and then Watchmen - the movie. There is something for everyone :)

Now, I'm off

Like the Boys

Stopped by HM and checked out their latest designer collaboration with Comme des Garcons.
I liked it so I bought a dress. Mr S and friend H bought two shirts each.
After some shopping we went to a chinese restaurant for some food. I'm not really that into Chinese but this was ok.
Then the movie "Quantum of Solace" wih oh so gorgeous Daniel Craig. I was quite disappointed since he wasn't naked, not even flashing his abs....

This week end I'm going to buy a Pilates-dvd and start exercising in front of the TV. Was a the gym today and did some pilates and it really works. This should give my booty a serious challenge. I have to be fit if I am going to show my self in a bathing suit on the cruise.

YES We can

And yes he did. Mr Obama will be the next Mr President.
Jan 20 2009 will be a great day. I really really think he can and will make a difference. The world needs "new blood", new ideas and new inspiration. He will not have it easy: finicial crisis, 2 wars, unemployment but HE CAN.
Mr Bush certainly left a mess!

As far as Mr McCain goes he seemed like a very nice and kind person, I don't however agree with most of his opinions. And don't even get met started on Mrs Palin - I mean seriously: calling her a Barracuda is an understatement.

Me, I do my best to support the Nordic economy by shopping Nodric designers :) Bought a new winters jacket from Danish designer team St Martin. Loves it. It is not as warm as I wish it would be, or maybe the weather isn't as warm as I wish it would be...

Last week end Mr S and me went to a champagne tasting hosted by Richard Juhlin at Haga Slott. It was very nice. The dinner after the tasting was also nice, all in all a pleasant experience.

The weeks go by so quickly so soon it is Christmas and I'm off on the cruise. It could be totally divine or total misery. I'm going to bring some books and my gym gear so I can train and read.

Come Saturday it's dad's 66th birthday and sis and I are going to cook for him at his place. My dad isn't really into going out to restaurants - he thinks it to much hazzle to leave the house.

Now I have to find airline tickets for my boss to go to Thailand. I've never been but a lot of Swedeish people goes there for Christmas and New Years. I suppose it's nice but I haven't been tempted.

What are you doing for Christmas?

Not in my "happy place"

At the moment I am so not in my "happy place".
I have all these things I need to do, not because I want to but I really must do them. Tried to cheer myself up yesterday with some shopping. Not even a pit stop at NK Nordic Design department cheered me up. I ended up buy a pair of new pants from Monki and a shirt from Pour.. but still no joy.
Stopped by my gay boyfriend J on the way home - it's always fun to see him. Went home and watched some TV and then off to bed.

Am looking forward to the week end though. Sis and me are going to look for a shelf and possibly go to a new mall that has opened and then we might go a catch a movie (if we could ever agree on one...)

I have taken the car to and from work lately. There are moments when I still can't believe I passed my drivers license... and on my first try! I feel very adult when I'm driving alone.

Today it's cold and sunny so I was thinking that i should walk home from work today. It should take about 45 mins since I'm more into strolling than power walking.

Better get back to faking to work now

No Shopping

I read an article about a woman who didn't do any shopping during a whole year, apart from food and the necessary stuff of course.
Now she wrote a book about her experience. i wonder how interesting that book is too read...
She claims that people only shop to fill a void in themselves. I shop because I enjoy it and I like to surround myself with funny and beautiful stuff. I don't feel like I have a void in me, I do sometimes have a void in my bank account but that is a different story...

I've taken the car to work these last couple of days. I feel very adult when I'm driving alone :)
Had a very nice week end. Friday I spent at home, just chilling after a pretty intense week. Saturday Mr S and me went into town for some shopping and then sis came over for dinner and we went out dancing at a place in Sundbyberg. Sundbyberg is the suburd in Stockholm that has the highest number of singles... and at this place Garbo's you could tell. Maybe I'm oldfashioned and upthight but I don't think it is ok for a perfect stranger to come up to me and grab my ass. I do have a nice ass but it's still not just for anyone to grab it!

We had wuite a nice time even if these kinds of places aren't really my scene. Today I'm trying to put together an AW on Friday at the newest wine bar in Stockholm. A place with a wine list of more than 600 bottles - that is more my scene :)
