Fornarina

Shoes. I love shoes. I probably have somewhere between 40 and 50 pairs. And that's after cleaning some out. At the moment I'm trying to wear two pairs in that I haven't used. One pair is my New Year shoes. I bought them a couple of months ago at Fornarina together with a pair of wonderful boots. Both of the shoes with too high heels. Fornarina shoes are the best! If you wanna invest in great shoes - buy a pair of Fornarina, they are worth every single cent.


The new year sandals, 11 cm heal. But mine are just plain black and with white details, no gold or stripes.

monday

can't wait. since when have i ever been looking forward to a monday? i reckon never. but now i do. i'm so happy with you. why would i ever let you go?

day

Tonight I've been watching Arn, after a seven hour soccer day. Not really my type of movie. The best part was the song at the end: Snö by Laleh

Living room tables

Design. Life is all about design. Your hairstyle. Your clothes. Your mobile. Your apartment. Your furniture.

Been looking around for a living room table for a friend tonight. These are my favourites:

Base from Ilva

Fly from EM

Cutest thing alive

C and I had Texas this weekend again. He's a monster (Texas). But a very cute monster. Why not jump around like a crazy rubber ball biting everything you can reach? Or shewing your leash into two pieces? Or eat a piece of my glove and swallow it? All the time looking completly innocent and extremly cute. Wonderful weekend with my favourites. The two boys that's been my light at the end of the tunnel this autumn. <3
Six months now!

In his basket that's for sure getting almost too small!

From the last time we had him a weekend, the first time Texas saw snow!

if you're not really here then the stars don't even matter
now im filled to the top with fear, that is all just a bunch of matters

if you're not really here i don't wanna be either
i wanna be next to you

I'm not leaving now

Dresses

I love dresses. I don't even know how many I've got. Everyday, sport (tennis/badminton), evening or high fashion dresses. I went to London in July/August this year and went on a mad shopping spree. I bought a dress for New Years Eve - black, silky, strapless, kneeleangth - a real puffy princess dress. But the other week I went to Zara with my friend Tove. My eyes got stuck on this beautiful thing - Tove thought it looked terrible hanging. But when I put it on we both fell in love. Yesterday I finally got it in my possession thanks to my auntie (beautiful birthday present!). Here you have a photo of it lying, it's so sexy on - you might see it some day;) Buttons along the back. So what dress will it be on new years?! What to do on New Years?

Vintage

Second hand/Pre-loved or Vintage. Hasn't been my thing. But look what I found:


Creation Arabelle Paris from the 70's

Martinette 60's dress

Italian Leather bag

Louis Vuitton - Classic Scarf

Love is noise

love is noise, love is pain

why?

Without you?

Talked to one of my dear male friends yesterday. I realized that my life hasn't been the best lately, getting my account emptied, less jobs and so on. But I am still happy and quit calm. At least with you. I'm eating enough with you. I'm feeling happy. I enjoy every second with you.

Last night I slept alone. Alone. It's been a while. I don't like sleeping alone anymore. Wanna turn around and having you there.

Anger.

The last three-four days I have been getting this aggression to people that I don't even know. It's getting worse for every day. I feel it growing in me. I don't know why or how or what to do about it. I'm getting scared if I should get really really angry on someone I really like/love, someone who dosen't deserve my aggression. I better stay away.

Tired.

It's time to start training again. It's been a couple of weeks that I havent been sleeping to well and the last three days has been terrible. Need to get the physics happening again to be able to feel good.

Texas is now five months and two weeks and weights about 11 kg. He is getting bigger! My love<3

Changes

There are so many changes in my life. I don't know if it's wrong or if it's right. And I want you, want you by my side - everything is gonna be alright.

Changes in my life. I won't leave you behind. You're always on my mind. I got you by my side

Leave the past behind. We try to see the warnings and read all the signs. Sometimes you gotta take chances, nothing stays the same but the world will keep on turning

I want you by my side.


Happy Birthday!

Kings Of Leon

I'm falling. Falling for the rock band Kings of Leon. It's been a while since I got so attached to a rock band. Maybe my house/dance period is coming to an end? This is Kings of Leon:



It's sad but they are blocking all the youtube clips, but if you'd like, I'd recommend you to have a look on the video Sex on Fire. It's awesome. Use somebody is a sweet song as well.

See ya

If I told you you were right, would you take my hand tonight?

Cary Brothers - Ride (Tiësto Remix)

Back on you

Favourite song of the week with great lyrics: Back on you - Kaskade:

All that matters is what you do it all comes back on you
all the love you give, it should come back to you
Oh the lights on, it's shining on your side
Decided i'm wasting time on mind games with you

Ah it's nice if you've got love, is all you need
I'd like to think that love is everything
Oh it should be, it's shining on your side
Decided i'm spending time falling for what's true

Things I miss about Australia

I miss:
* The weather
* The party life
* The accent
* Lizzie
and of course: Aussiebum!


I love Frank dandy, Björn Borg and Calvin Klein undies on men but there is somethins special about Aussiebum!

House Bitch!

I am now officially a House Bitch. The two house songs of the day is of course from two of the members of Swedish House Mafia, the genius Pryda/Eric Prydz and Steve Angelo:


Pryda - Miami Atlanta


Robin S vs Steve Angello & Laidback Luke - Show Me Love / Be (Hardwell remix)

Helloween

Big Helloween party in Uppsala for one of my models 30th birthday. Big surprice! What to wear? I had nice clothes and awesome evening makeup and wounds done by Theresa Hol.

Kaskade

I'm in love. I have never ever listen so much to the same albums over and over again since Metallica S&M. I love the music of/by Kaskade. I truely do. Some are pure lounge, other more house/dance. Some have good lyrics some is only instrumental.

My favourite lounge track - It's you, it's me (from the album It's you, it's me):


My favourite dance/house track - I remember (album Strobelite Seduction)

And Steppin out:


My favourite at the moment, including the lyrics - Angel on my shoulder (Strobelite Seduction)


Cool lounge/house/jazz mix - Let you go (album: In this moment)

SHOTS

It's time for my exhibition SHOTS at V4 in Stockholm. V4 is my favourite restaurant and lounge bar with awesome food and great drinks. Have a drink at V4 between 20th of November and 18th of December and you will see some of my pics on the walls.

V4, Verkstadsgatan 4, Hornstull.
Mon-Thurs: 17.00-00.00
Fri-Sat: 19.00-01.00

Big City Stress

It was a chaos in the subway today. An accident or suicide, I don't know. But my day got a bit turned up side down. Hours later I was going in the subway again. I sat down at Slussen just watching all the people running off and on the trains. For half an hour I was sitting there. Just watching. Thinking. Why do I run even if I'm not in a hurry? Why can't I see things around me, just thinking about the goal - where I'm going? Why do I get upset when I miss a train when the next one is coming five minutes later? Cause I'm not planning for five minutes delay. Not a second can be wasted.

You should try it. Take the next bus or train. Just wait up for a minute. And plan for at least five minutes delay so you don't have to run or get stressed out by anything. I'm gonna try to.

Roma Rodeo

In 2007 I lived in Australia. I went to Australia on my own, to study, without knowing anyone over there, down under. It became a giant life experience. Anyhow...

The coolest thing and most unreal thing in Australia was when Katie (Irish classmate) and I went to Roma in Queensland for the annual International Rodeo Competition during easter. It took us two days by car there, giant road trains (GIANT! trucks with stuff or animals), desert, jackaroos along the road. Everything and everywhere else I saw or met in Australia felt or looked like something I've already seen - on the news or internet or something before I came there. But that road trip. Wow. Just amazing. And the rodeo. We got there, I bought a hat in kangaroo skin. Everyone there was wearing shirts, jeans, boots and hats. Everyone. And horses and dogs everywhere. Unreal. Just freaking unreal. But wonderful in a weird kinda way.

Here's some of the pics I took:

I have an angel on my shoulder

Today it was time for some fine art photography, here's one of my favourites:

Sophia <3 Kaskade

I love Kaskade. Just so perfect dance/lounge music! Today I'm listening to the album Strobelite. This is 4 AM:

Humlegården

More model shoots. Today's drafts:

Captain Lundh

Went on a quick visit in Western Aros for some flight captain shots. These are the first draft:

If I were a boy

Beyonce - If I were a boy

Hot video good tune

Loleatta Holloway - Love Sensation 2006

Exotic Brekky Energy Boost

Morning recommendation:

You need:
* Blender
* Knife
* Spoon

Fruit:
* Big pear (sweet one)
* Kiwi
* Passion fruit (make sure that it's round and purple)
* Banana (1/2)
* Linseed
* Orange juice (<1dl)

Get rid of all the shells, cut it into pieces into the blender. Turn it on! Use a sweet giant pear and you wont need any sugar or sweetner. This will give you a yellow/greenish smoothie about 3-4 dl.

I miss you

Friends. I know a lot of people. From/in all over the world. Some are close, some aren't. Some means a lot to me. Some of the ones that means a lot may not know how much they mean to me.

Since I went to Australia (and came back) I've felt like I've lost a lot of friends. Or at least lost contact with. I did gain friends as well. But some parts are just missing.

I've got almost exactly as many female as male friends. Two of my male friends, both first name is Marcus, Andersson and Hindersson is two of the ones who means the most. Maybe without knowing how much. I really miss both of them. I've been training with both of them in periods, and now it's really hard training alone. They had a big part of my motivation. And I miss talking to them. They are honest guys.

I miss you guys. Please return.

Those were the days

Wicked Game

Today I got really sick. Went to the gym at seven in the morning, not feeling to well but still determined to start and finnish the training session. It didn't happen. Straight home to the bed. After another five hours of sleep I moved to the sofa, watching VH1. My favourite channel. Perfect mix of different genres and old stuff.

Todays classic: Chris Isaac - Wicked Game

Pics

Lot's of things happening right now, sorry I'm not writing so much, I miss it a lot. Here are some pics for now! More at flickr!

Party Weekend

This weekend I got a couple of friends from Gothenburg visiting. Our plan was to party and shop til we drop. I reckon we succeeded. Friday night: Sturehof, Ett litet hak and Obaren. Saturday: shopping from 10 in the morning! Party at my place and Solidaritet.

A place you should visit for some food and/or drinks is Ett Litet Hak on Grev Turegatan, close to Sturegallerian. Normal prices, great service, nice interior, great music, awesome drinks, cool but nice people at the place. This will definitly be a place in competetion with my favourite food/drink place V4 (Verkstadsgatan 4, Hornstull).

Today I baked some... Recipe at www.kanalbullar.com



Niiighty, sleep tight!

Playlist

For a couple of years I have been using Last.fm to register tracks im listening to, find new music and create playlists. Lately I've been using youtube, creating playlists and rocking at work. Last week the art director at work recommended seeqpod for listening to tracks and creating playlists. This my playlist for today:

SeeqPod - Playable Search

Premiere party

Yesterday Stockholm new radio station Radio 107,5 had a premeiere party at Café Opera. It was a mix of Swedish celebs, artists and gorgeous people. It doesn't matter how hot you feel or how good you look, it will always be people looking better and being hotter than you at Café Opera. But that also means that almost everyone there, men or women are hot. Or rich. Haha.

Live performances by Elin Lantho (don't know who she is), Danny and Basic Elements. Peter and Jonas from Basic Elements were wearing clothes from Top Streetwear.

Matching red

Without noticing it I'm now having a new favourite colour? Red. Satin Red. Last week I bought a new phone (it's sooo cool, I'll write more about it tomo) Sony Ericsson Walkman W760 and yesterday a bought a new nailpolish. Mavala Satin. So now I'm walking around with perfect nails matching my new phone. So silly and without noticing until now.

My recomendations for good looking nails:

Buy small containers of nail polish, like Mavala, then the polish wont get to old and you can afford having a lot of different colours.

Always use a multilack in the bottom, let it dry completly.

Two thin layers of the coloures polish.

Finish with the awesome Colorfix with Acryl from Mavala! It will make youre nails perfect and the colour longer lasting.

Spark it by small dots of glitter or gem stones.

Buy wider brush instead of the ones included.

Black jeans, any suggestions?!

Hey! I need YOUR help! I'm looking for a black pair of jeans, really black. Rather skinny but not really skinny in the leg. Any suggestions?!

Smokin' hot

Oh yeah! This week and weekend has certainly been photography. Photography at it's best. Or at my best for a very long time any way. Had my lovely friend Theresa Hol doing makeup on seven models in a small studio in Stockholm. Here is one of my favourite shots:

Thank you and goodnight=)

Swedish Idol Auditions

Swedish Idol has been running on tv for a couple of weeks now. I enjoy the auditions more than the programs afterwards, the mix of great singers and people that can't understand that they can't sing.

This year it's a new panel of judges. I love the new judges. They leave people with critism not personal attacks. Andreas Carlsson is my favourite of the judges, really competent and consistent.

Here are a couple of my favourite auditions this year:

Robin Bengtsson - Bring it all home


Kenny Lundström - That's alright with you



My favourite in Australian Idol 2007 was Carl Riseley (listen to those crazy judges with the wonderful accent!)


One of my favourite performances was by Matt Corby though, with a great song by Evermore - It's too late

Inspiration

What got me into photography? That is a rather good question. I think a lot of people is wondering what happened to constructing engineering or sports journalism or the military?

When I was a kid I loved taking photos of everything. When I was about 10 yo my camera broke down at Legoland in Denmark, I was devastated. At the age of 16 I was working at SportCamp and met Erik Linghede, he was just one of all the other leaders, but he bought a SLR and showed me some pics later on, It was so cool! I wanted to do that! At the age of 17-18 I met a guy, Kalle Thyselius, we only met once. But his creativity and feeling for positioning/croping, art and design got me even more interested in photography. Kalle is now working with some of the worlds biggest companies programming websites, designing advertising and more. Have a look - InLoveWith.

Today I brought Erik to the studio and company I work with. He will hopefully work as a photographer a long with me. It's a bit weird, showing my inspiration how to take the pics in the studio. He knows so much more than me. Hopefully this can give him something back=)

And what happened to all of my other job plans? Well. I'm still young. You never know what I'll work with tomo.

Memories turned into reality

Joseph Arthur - Honey and the moon

Men. Read this.

Eric Prydz/Pryda

House music at it's best. Swedish house music. I've said it before. But hey, this is freaking quality! Eric Prydz is creating new music constantly. When you think you know about his music there is new tracks over and over again. I love. You'll never get bored.

Shadows by Pryda:


A different version of my favourite Pjanoo - Fusion Pjanoo

Smell like a man!

When you're walking on the street passing this gorgeous man what makes the experience even stronger? A) The manfully smell of sweat B) A perfect touch of perfume C) No smell

I prefer B. A nice perfume can make the ordinary man to the hot man.

If you wanna get me intersted, today I'm recomending:

Dior Homme Sport (Eau de Toilette)

There is beatbox and there is beatbox. Impressive.

Bad idea Record Labels/Youtube.com

It's getting harder and harder to find a video to embed on the blog. The reason? The record labels can now go in and decide which videos are staying on youtube.com, they keep the best ones, put their label on the video and disable the embeding. Fucking enoying. Why? Now I can't show you wonderful artists like Neverstore, Lazee and Backyard Babies. I just can't see any reason to do this.

The Unforgiven III

All Metallica fans would think of one thing hearing the word 'unforgiven'. At least if you don't have english as your main language, haha. Anyway, they have previously released The Unforgiven and the Unforgiven II. On the latest album, Death Magnetic, that will the realeased on September 12th, they have The Unforgiven III.

Listen:

Sash!

Let's daaaaaaance!!! The weeekend is here!


Stay


Encore une fois

Going wrong

Armin van Buuren - Going Wrong

Never turn your back on him

Matthew Good - Weapon

Jealousy

How come you are the only one making me jealous? Until I met you I never understod how people could feel so much jealousy. Now I understand. Let go of me. I hate jealousy. It doesn't make me to a very nice person. Or especially happy. It was a really good day. It's gonna be a really good week. Nothing should stop me anymore. It's time for some highway life.

Fireside

My computer is not working correctly since a couple of months back. I always have to listen to music. So for a month I've only been listening to music through youtube. Yesterday I rediscovered my cd-collection! A pretty awesome one, filled with rock, hard rock, singer/songwriter and some other stuff.

One of Swedens best musicians (according to me) is Kristofer Åström. He is from northern part of Sweden called Luleå. I have every single solo album from him until a couple of years back. He was also playing in a rock/punk band in Luleå called Fireside. Today I listened to the album Get Shot. Here are my favourites from that album:


Follow Follow


All you had

You don't need to bother

Stone Sour - Bother

Stop running

Everyone says you’re amazing

Say you don’t know how to do it now
So you run
It’s not that you’re bleeding, but you’re through with it now
So you run, so you run

I know that you need it, you can’t live alone
So you run, so you run

Only you know the real ones are cause you’ve seen
There’s only one question I want to ask is it healing
When you hear everyone say you’re amazing
Does anybody ask you?

Do you cry in your sleep and do you feel ok?
When you run

Cause I know that you’re real, amazing, amazing, amazing

Photo of the day

Texas - by Tollebrant

Seal

As a kid I fell in love with the song Kiss from a rose by Seal. Through the years when he has come back I keep on falling in love with his songs, like Love's divine.

In november/december I was watching Victoria Secrets Christmas Fashion Show in Australia (I still lived there). Thought it was interesting from a photography perspective. I was really impressed, it's truely beautiful girls walking that catwalk! And those heals! Oh my, try to walk in those. Anyhow, I probably was quite emotional at that time but when Seal was performing it was just awesome, and the duet with his wife, the unbelivable Heidi Klum...

The Duet:



The finish, Seal - Amazing



New Single - The right life

Not over

More house covers! Original:

Grace - Not over yet



Cover/remix:

Planet Perfecto feat Grace - Not over yet

Texas

Yesterday I fell in love. With Texas. An eight week old Irish Soft Coated Wheatern Terrier. Ludde, that I have been writing about was a American soft coated wheatern terrier. I just wanna play with him, and feel him fall asleep in my lap.

Weak

The Script - Together we cry

Release me from you

Though i stand tall, you're breaking me down

Release me from my memories, release me from your chains, release me from your beautiness

I can get what i want, I'm getting along but still I got nothing

time cannot erase

I'm so tired of being here
I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase
But you still have
All of me

Real slow

I wanna see you, dance with me, take me out. Real slow, let's make it last. Take it real slow. Hold me real tight, let's stay up all night.

Come on, I want you to come pick me up, take me out, fuck me up. You know you could. I wish you would.



Melo - Real slow

Truely amazing video

Amazing video and a good song: Unkle - Reign

Swedish house music at it's best

Eric Prydz/Pryda - Pjanoo

Go08

Stureplan became a dancefloor with some of the worlds best dj's, two of them from Swedish House Mafia - Sebastian Ingrosso and Steve Angelo. My friends and I weren't the only ones there. Aprox 45 000 people were dancing on the streets that night. It was freaking crowded.
