This Could Be Yours

(Natch, it's DesiretoInspire upping my blood pressure again):


What I love about this place is how it looks vaguely like a real person (as opposed to a socialite or successful designer) could construct this with some love, design sensibility and shopping savvy. And, lucky for y'all, it's for sale.

Jo, the post's author, gives us the recipe for scandi real estate marketability:

"Take a large Swedish apartment. Paint white, strip coverings from the floor, make sure the light is good, fill with fabulous furniture including an obligatory iconic chair or two, design a sexy kitchen, style with accessories from your own homewares store where everything is so covetable that it hurts, make sure your clothing props are hip, employ a talented photographer and sell sell sell."

The full post is here.

Just look at it and tell me what you think.

Aspirational Living

It's been a while since I've linked you to one of the endlessly (seemingly non-stop) chic party existence that marks Sandra's life. Here are a few photos to entice you to go view the entire post:




My goal, as I move into my next decade, is to enjoy people and social experiences with this kind of casual spontaneity. And to look entirely elegant while doing it :-)?

What's your next lifestyle goal?

Vil du som dette?


What is it about Scandanavian fashion that compels me so? Whimsical while practical, sophisticated yet playful, slim but not in a tight way... I guess it won't surprise you that I love to check out these blogs (http://www.ladybirdnest.blogspot.com/, http://stockholmstreetstyle.feber.se/feber/) and imagine I'm clip clopping in chunky, angled heels past the storkyrkan on my way to the coffee shop to recite my latest poems.

You've gotta love a guy in docs and vintage fur - to say nothing of that hair! How does one stay sane, much less well-dressed, with 18 hours of darkness a day?
