I celebrated the early spring arrivals of Isabel Marant Etoile (that reached the store today) by wearing her signature sweatpant, which was included in this first package. A somewhat darker shade of grey melange, fresh for the new season. Opening the boxes felt all Christmas Eve again! So many great styles. Come by, there won´t be teasers on the webshop up for another couple of weeks.
Also wearing Chloé suede booties (just size 38 left now if you fancy a pair of your own), t-shirt from The Local Firm, jacket and earrings vintage.

This is not what I thought I´d find when walking the dog this morning. Someone has actually bothered to make street art among all the semi-fancy houses on our small road, on the archipelago island outside Stockholm where we live. What a hip neighbourhood, ha ha ha. And it speaks my mind, too. At least yesterday´s mind, I feel a teeny tiny bit better today. It´s crazy really, how very much one can miss someone dear. Well, dearest. But still. Overwhelming. I hope she feels my love, where ever she is now.

Mother. It´s been one whole year now. One year since I held your hand, since I hugged and kissed you. Since I lost you. Miss you so, so much.
Love,
Cecilia
I got this at the Nitty Gritty sale today, a gigantic heavy wool blanket from Pendleton, now at home in it´s perfect place in our sofa. There are a couple more Pendleton blankets left still, however not in the same pattern. This one was my personal favourite, I´ve been eyeing it for what feels like ages now... Yay!
Warm blankets are kind of a survival thing for me in winter and this one will save the day for many years to come. Merry Christmas to me!

Perhaps you can´t buy love, but happiness -or whatever feeling you get when treating yourself- isn´t too bad either. Get your kicks cheaper @ the Nitty Gritty sale, starting NOW.
We don´t have to dream of a white Christmas in Sweden this year. It sure does look amazing, but snow or not, Christmas it´s all about love and sharing for me. And now, how wonderful it is to get to celebrate the first Christmas with my baby girl Maxine and our new little family... The joy!
I´ve been listening to quite a few Christmas songs this morning while wrapping the last gifts, but then this song on repeat. It´s so great, I can´t get enough of it. So, from me to you, a very merry Christmas with a song full of love!
Ladies and gentlemen, Damon with Don´t You Feel Me (1970):

I´m busy doing this! Our Christmas wrapping look like little cake boxes, and many lucky girls and boys and men and women will get to open theirs in just a couple of days. Thanks so much for shopping with us! And if needed to change size or so, everyone is welcome to do so until January 5, 2011. But we´re open tomorrow too, of course. 11 AM to 7 PM.

It’s time for Christmas, and it’s going to be a white one. This has cost us problems and it’s going to cost us more. The ones that are going home by plane, trains, tvärbana, subway or automobile are probably going to be stuck somewhere on the way. Experts are telling us that it’s a good to bring a survival kit. Here is my musical survival kit. A list dedicated for us Christmas travellers.

THE CUT. Time for change! I spent my lunch with Jennifer at dom. Hairdressing today, and it resulted in bangs. It´s been five years since last time. Love it!
Also love the sound of all my bangles; vintage ones found in Paris and London, a few from Angie Gooderham, a gift and a couple from Cornelia all mixed up.
