It's been raining all day in Stockholm. Mimmi, Karl and I are spending a couple of weeks house-sitting my mother's place. This is one of my favourite spots in the world and I've posted about it before here.
Edland is a new cabinet line from Ikea. It offers six different storage solutions for bedrooms and has a classical shape with a modern twist. Via Apartment Therapy
Odette New York is a jewelry line designed by Jennifer Sarkilahti. The pieces are inspired by organic and industrial shapes, natural specimens, antique artifacts, and travel mementos and made using ancient and modern wax carving techniques and hand fabrication. Each original design begins from a pencil sketch that is translated by hand into wax before being cast into metal. Via Lena Corwin
It must have been a fantastic experience for those invited to the Chanel Resort 2010 show. Karl Lagerfeld had chosen the small island Lido just outside of Venice for the occasion. The light is extraordinary. And the clothes. And the hair and makeup. Magical. Images Style.com
A Milanese apartment set within the owner's family's converted country house. The parents decided that their family home, where lighting designer Pier Lorenzo Salvone and his siblings grew up, had become too much for them. The solution was to convert the house into three apartments: one for them, and one each for the two sons. Pier, who initially studied architecture, designed the transformation. Opening up and filling the house with light, he created a balance with the surrounding countryside. From Living Etc

Being nine months pregnant, fashion seams a little bit out of reach. I keep fantasising about what to wear when I (hopefully!) return to normal size. Above some sale favourites from mytheresa.com.
I read about this beautiful apartment a while ago on one of my favourite blogs: The Style Files. The home was decorated by Frech interior designers Hand.
Mateus was founded by Portuguese Therese Lundahl when she moved to Sweden 15 years ago. Mateus' ceramics offer modern Swedish design, strongly influenced by the world of fashion. The products are handmade by artisans in Portugal. As a result each individual piece is unique.
Former fashion stylist Jo Berryman bought this four-floor property in Hampstead Heath in London in 2007. She spent a year renovation and decorating the late Victorian property with a unique mix of edgy British design and feminine glamour.
I stayed at the gorgeous Le Mas de Pierre couple of weeks ago and wanted to return there as soon as we left. It is situated near an artist's village just north of Nice on the French Riviera and has the most beautiful pool area.
High on my wishlist is a pair of Adrian Mustelins sunglasses Rebornshades. A vintage look, handmade and in a limited edition (each pair is numbered)...
I've spent a few days in Gothenburg and today before I left I went to Trädgårdsföreningen (The Garden Society) which is close to the central station. According to themselves it is one of the best preserved 19th century parks in Europe (founded 1842), honoured by the Guide Michelin.
Award winning Forest armchair and chair are designed by Robby and Francesca Cantarutti for Italian aluminium furniture design company Fast. With legs, swivelling or on wheels, it is well-suited to interior contexts, for offices and the outdoors.
I just bought a new bedcover/quilt from AnnaO. She makes beautiful cushions, quilts and shawls of textiles from India. Her website is under construction but you can find her design at R.O.O.M and Länna Möbler.
I just moved to a bigger apartment (one more bedroom, so Sonja can have her own room) and started to look at wallpapers for the bedroom. In all other rooms I want just plain white walls but in the bedrooms I want colourful wallpapers. My favorite is a wallpaper designed by Hanna Waerning from her 2006 years collection "Hanna", manufactured by Borås Tapeter.
Minimarket is a swedish clothing label designed by three sisters (Sofie, Pernilla, Jennifer). Here are some images from their 2009 spring/summer collection. Nice with strong colours; red, green and blue.
