ADLINKS: dress here, shoes here, earrings from Anton Heunis

När det var full snöstorm ute så stod jag inne i en tv-studio helt sommarklädd. :-)) Jag älskar den här klänningen! När jag klickade runt på Asos och såg den så tänkte jag direkt på bröllopet. Vårt bröllop pågår ju från fredag-söndag och denna klänning skulle ju vara PERFEKT för picknicken/grillningen på fredagen, eller till brunchen på söndagen! Okej nu är det ju 9 månader kvar så jag lär hitta sjuttioelva andra klänningar som jag tycker passar haha, så om jag inte kör på denna så har jag iallafall haft en i tv. ;-)

Tycker det är lite läskigt hur snabbt tiden går. Igår när vi stod och lagade mat så pratade vi om resor vi ska göra nästa år och sen kom vi på att “justfan, sen gifter vi ju oss!” Så sjukt haha. Längtar.

// When it was snow storm outside, I was in a tv studio dressed for summer. :-)) I love this dress! When I saw it I immediately thought of the wedding. As you know our wedding is from Friday to Sunday and this dress would would be PERFECT for the picnic/bbq we have on Friday, or for the Sunday brunch! Okey it’s 9 months left so I will probably find hundred other dresses before that haha, so if I don’t go for this one I’ve at least worn it on tv. ;-)

I think it’s a bit scary how fast time passes. Yesterday when we were making dinner, we talked about trips we’re gonna go on next year, then we remembered that “oh damn, then we’re getting married!” So sick haha. I can’t wait.

SUMMER GIRL / DRESS FROM NELLY

Summer plans:

Except for work I’ve got a couple of trips coming up! In July I will go to Båstad for a couple of days with my friends, we’re gonna hang out at the Summer on festival and party hard. ;-) When I get back, my sister and her kids will come to Stockholm for a couple of days! Hopefully the weather will be nice so that we can go to the beach. Later in July it’s time for our friend’s wedding in Greece. We will stay for a week in a villa with our friends. In August Aleks and I will actually go to Rio together with Adidas for the Olympics! We’ve always wanted to go to Brazil so I’m super excited. And it’s gonna be really cool to watch the games. I might also go back to New York in August as well but it’s not decided yet. Anyway, I will end summer in Croatia together with my three best friends! <3

Favorite summer drink:

Hmm well I love all drinks in the summer haha, but strawberry daiquiri really brings back some fun memories from my first summer trips abroad with my friends.

Most fun summer memory:

I have so many beautiful memories, but one that really warms my heart and that I think about a lot is those summers we spent at Åland with my grandparents when we were kids. I don’t remember much more than playing outside the cabins and the happiness (and the huge icecreams grandma always bought me haha). I don’t know why but those memories give me so much….comfort.

Favorite BBQ food:

I’m a very simple person when it comes to that, give me a KORV MED BRÖD (sausage in bread) with ketchup, mustard, cucumber mayo and top it with toasted onion and I’m happy haha.

My dream summer destination:

Greece or Italy, they’re both so beautiful and the food is amazing. As you know I also love going to Barcelona, and Ibiza!

Favorite summer place:

Our friend’s country house that we always go to every summer. I love going there so much because it’s so quiet and simple. There’s no water in the house, barely no phone reception which means no internet at all, and all we do there is reading books, going out on walks with Mani and eating simple food like meatballs with macaroni. I just love it there! We dream about getting our own cabin out there one day..

What I listen to this summer:

Well the songs that will definitely remind me of this summer is: One Dance, Panda and Can’t stop the feeling, maybe because they play them EVERYWHERE ALL THE TIME. Feel free to share your fav albums at the moment! I need some new music to listen to.

Favorite summer scent:

The scent after it’s been raining is just SUMMER to me. And it’s also my favorite because rain means less pollen haha.

I’m really looking forward to:

I’m really really looking forward to finishing the renovation of our new apartment, because that feels pretty far away right now. We’ve bumped into a couple of issues so we probably won’t be done until September… Other than that I also look forward to our trip to Croatia! I’ve always wanted to go there, and I’m so glad all four of us (me, Mika, Nadia and Dilay) are finally going on a trip together again!! It’s been waaay to long.

Three things I love the most about summer:

Well as a Swede there’s no surprise that I mostly love the higher temperature, it just makes everything a bit easier and more fun. Like all the get together’s in the parc, the open air festivals & parties, going to the beach and having picnics. The second best thing is definitely the light! Here the sun sets after 10 pm and it rises at 3 am. Which is amazinggggg, but that also means really dark winters.. Ok let’s enjoy it while it lasts haha. And the third…. Well it has to be that it’s totally acceptable to be lazy as hell during the summer haha.

A little summer tag! Hope you liked it. :*

Photos from our Midsummer yesterday! ♥

Igår var det dags för en av mina favoritdagar på året: Midsommarafton! Även om vädret inte var det bästa (det var iallafall varmt och uppehåll!) så bestämde vi oss för att köra på vårt traditionella knytkalas på berget hela gänget. Aleks och hans vänner startade traditionen för många år sedan, och när jag kom in i bilden så drog jag med mina vänner och sedan dess har vi firat där nästan varje år allihopa. Så himla simpelt och mysigt! :-) Det finns inget bättre än att bara sitta ett gäng vänner och snacka, äta mat och lyssna på musik. Vi fick även lite kvällssol, och på natten sprang några ner och badade men jag kände mig lite frusen så jag satt vid elden. Gissa om jag luktar rök idag, fast jag har duschat haha. Solen gick knappt ner inatt och det var helt ljust ute när vi promenerade hem vid 3 imorse. Underbara svenska sommar!

Nu ska vi iväg på kalas. Jag minns när Miranda (Aleks yngsta brorsdotter) var en nykläckt liten bebis uppe på detta berg, och idag fyller stora tjejen 6. Åren går så fort!

// Yesterday it was time for one of my favorite days of the year – the Swedish Midsummer’s Eve! Even though the weather wasn’t the best (at least it was warm and no rain!) we decided to go for our traditional picnic by the lake. Aleks and his friends started this tradition many years ago, and when we met I brought my friends with me and since that all of us have been celebrating there almost every year. It’s so simple and cozy! :-) There’s nothing better than just sit and talk with your friends, eat food and listen to music. We also got some evening sun, and in the night some of us went down for a swim but I felt a bit cold so I sat by the fire. I smell so much smoke today, even though I’ve showered haha. The sun barely set last night so it was all light outside when we walked home at 3 am. Swedish summer is amazing!

Now we’re gonna go to a birthday party. I remember when Miranda (Aleks youngest niece) was a newborn little baby up in these rocks, and today this big girl is turning 6. The years are passing by so fast!
