My perfect day

Would start with a sleep in until 10, then breakfast in a cafe with Husband and Astrid and a few fashion magazines and some major people-watching.
When we have had  enough, I'd go to the park or the forrest for a long walk in the sun (it's my perfect day and a perfect day always has sunshine) which would make us hungry again, we would find a pub, have a roast and some wine, go home ...

Yesterday Husband gave me £60 ad so I went to Westfields today and Primark to look at a few things I've been wanting for a while. For £52.50, you can buy two dresses, a blazer and a t-shirt.

Tinderbox

Astrid and I had brunch at Tinderbox in Stratford today. Husband and I used to go to the one in Angel, but that is too far for me now, so I am very happy that there is a newly...

What I was like...

I was tall for my age, had blonde hair and blue eyes (still have blue eyes) Always wanted to be next to my mum and her friends and listen to their gossip and girl talk.  I have always had a few close friends, never tonnes of people around me. When I look at this picture Astrid looks just like me, but with darker hair. At other times she looks just like her dad :-)

Family day

Today has been all about family :-) We had brunch at Jamie's Italian in Stratford and then went for a two hour walk in Epping Forest. It was a perfect day :-)

A photo someone...

This is the friday before Halloween, the day I gave birth. The reason I chose this picture: I never realised how big I was until I saw this picture ;-) I never felt big, I was uncomfortable and I waddled like a penguin but never had the feeling of being huge which is probably the brains way of making you cope ;-)

Shopping ban is...

I managed without shopping for a whole month. I know it's not 6 months, but still good for being me ;-) Husband told me yesterday that I was being silly so I decided to stop. Also not shopping for a month shows me that I can give it up if I want to. Now this doesnt mean that I will go back to before, I'll still cut down, but it does mean that I won't get the Prada heels.

Bespoke

Since I am not allowed to go shopping the traditional way ie spend mooney on thing I don't need or already have. And I have to use my excisiting wardrobe, I have decided to try to pimp it a bit. Yesterday I went to the haberdashery department in John Lewis and found these embroidered iron-on motifs. I have a jacket in mind, a tweed H&M jacket that I bought in 2003 and haven't worn much.

Favourite item ...

Has to be my laptop or our bed. Laptop cos it keeps me connected to my loved ones and it keeps me entertained when Astrid is asleep. My bed for obvious reasons, it is so comfortable and every morning I wish I could have a proper lay-in, but then Astrid wakes up and I have to get up :-) I really can't complain as she has been sleeping all night since last monday and she is only 10 weeks old :-)

My future dream...

The only thing I ever looked for in life was stability. My husband gives me that and I felt like that as soon as I met him and moved here. It's in my nature to take care of people and it feels good to finally be taken care of. My dreams for the future is to see my little girl grow up to be whatever she wants to be and to be a better version of her parents. I have everything I have always wanted and everything else I get is just icing on the cake. I'm not going to make this a long post about the ...

Someone I miss

I am usually a very independent lady. If I want to do something, I will, whether I have company or not. Since having Astrid I have had to rely on others to help me. Asking for help doesn't come easy to me. For example, I need help up and down the stairs when taking the tube and so therefore I don't use it very often. Also since having Astrid I have started missing my mum. She does quiet often d...

My favourite so...

I thought long and hard at this topic as I don't really have one favourite song. Then Shirin said to chose something by Bon Jovi as I have listened to them for as long as I can remember. I used to LOVE them, now I only like them as they used to be alot better. The song I used to listen to over and over again is I'll be there for you taken from the 1988 New Jersey album and instead ...

Favourite piece...

Don't know if a pair of shoes counts as a piece of clothing but these shoes are very special to me. When I gave birth to Astrid my Husband bought these heels from Miu Miu as a well done gift :-) I wear them alot but I hope they will last a long time and when I can't wear them at least I will be able to look at them and remember the memories...

is Karen. Not because she has a fantastic career or a huge house or anything materialistic like that. I admire her because she takes care of her two kids and her man and the new house 24 hours a day without complaining (not much anyway) Her family lives far away and so the network she has around her is quiet small. She is one of the godmothers to Astrid, she ...

The city I live...

I moved to London in 2000, this is my 12th year here and I love it. London has given me so much and I am so grateful for it all.
London in my eyes is THE best city in the world and wherever Husband and I have been and whereever we will go in the future I will always compare it to London. I was born and raised in Stockholm, lived there for 23 years, but it never felt like home. I nev...
