People / 249

What is there to say about people, about individuals, of humanity? Are we that interesting really? I sometimes wonder if we do not simply repeat ourselves. We are, however, many who tries to imitate each other – in our attempts to not be the unique individuals we are. In what we actually would & could be the best at! We are not always aware of their individuality or charisma. All those who have persuaded themselves that they are not good enough. Not beautiful enough, not slim enough, not popular or whatever it might be. Isn’t it sad! To not allow yourself to see what others sees, when you’re looking in the mirror. It’s often those who actually have something to be proud of, that are hard on themselves. Sadly, we do not allow ourselves to look beyond self-criticism & realise thus not how tough demands we place on ourselves.

If life & experience has taught me anything, again & again, then it’s precisely this – to have faith in my self & to have faith in people. It certainly has changed others but mostly myself. So, be kind to yourself :)

New year, New era / 106

Hej dear friends,

I hope that Christmas has been a success & that you have been able to enjoy time with loved ones, without all musts & stressful demands. I’ve been busy, like everyone else I suppose. We have done short trips to the beach, gone to the cinema, been on the road to show the locations our guests just have to see, while they are here visiting. I’m also owner of a new Vespa. I was actually persuaded by my sweetheart to replace my Vespa (after some if & but-thoughts) into a bigger model, 300 super. It’s a black beauty that is incredibly fast, a small push & it goes off like a shot.

We’ve been biking around the city quite a lot in the mornings … until the boys got fed up & thought it was unfair. Talk about being independent – sure, but only when it suits them. When they later on headed to the night clubs, we thought that it was unjust to not be asked whether we wished to join them – the glances we got said more than all the words in the world. Right selfishly if asking me:) At a certain age (when it suits them) parents can seem pretty embarrassing – one just have to accept  it.

New Year 2011 is on the door step, I thought it would fit with a white theme  - just simple white images. White for purity, love, simplicity, honesty, health, friendship, beauty, faith, hope & joy. That my friends, is what I hope & wish you for the coming year. Use your ability to finally do what you’ve thought & dreamed of doing. It’s far better to do things you regret than not doing them at all. Easy to say but harder to live by, but on the other hand, whoever said that it should always be so easy, right?

No matter which path you take, what decisions you make, goals you set for yourself … I wish you happiness, health & peace on the road – HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Eye catching / 97

Hej friends,

What catches your interest, make you stop, look at, ponder? Does it have to be exceptional, amazing, unusual. Do you have to travel in order to experience beauty. It’s different for different people, of course. I’m a follower of beauty in terms of things & places. I appreciate small things & occurrences -anything really, that is all around us & don’t always have to scream out it’s existence. It may not have great importance, but which raise some kind of a feeling. I find inspiration almost everywhere & it doesn’t have to big & beautiful, not always have an explanation or the need to be described. It just needs to be there & catch the eye, simply.

It’s raining men / 42

Good morning from Sydney, I have just had breakfast & a walk, the weather is just wonderful & I can hear all builders along the street with all their tools. Everything is rather nice, so to say. I’m on the balcony with the first cup of coffee (after the breakfast tea). It’s too hot on the terrace already. I’ve read in one of the newspapers that Australian men is the worst dressed in the world. No wonder at all, I see it everyday & we’ve discussed it several times at home. Maybe it’s partly because people have to wear uniform from early age at school, partly because of the weather that’s nice all year around or because It’s too far from the rest of the world & almost two seasons behind. Or as simple as that they simply have no taste. I don’t know, I just know that it’s very few out there with style or awareness of fashion. Actually, it’s not so much about fashion, to be honest. You can dress very nicely without worrying about trends.

Almost every one seems to wear the shirt outside the pants, whether it’s informal outfit or suit. Ouch, it almost hurts to see that. My darling husband tried to wear his shirt outside his jeans once or twice - it got all of us in the family to protest wildly. No way, thank you! It’s not about expensive clothes or brands either. That’s up to each one really. When the clothes are taking over too much, there’s a risk for the individual to become invisible in their outfit. A good phrase to use might be, Everything in moderation. Clothing should emphasise & strengthen one’s personality. Create little self-esteem & express who you are, without exaggerating. But as always, it is up to each one. What would life be otherwise, huh!

This looks very dressed up but it’s casual with the turtleneck & the cuffs hanging out – not overly done, just stylish, yet informal enough / The Sartorialist,

Look at this beauty, casual, informal – almost a little careless style. A very deliberate style that can’t be copied. It’s just there / Miles Davies, Google,

Simple, elegant & super nice –  sometimes it takes no more than that / The Sartorialist,

Pants that sit a bit loose, rolled up with a simple white t-shirt. Suits all really / Errol Flynn, Google,

Khaki / chinos or whatever they are called, simple beige cotton trousers (not too tight) & navy blue shirt with rolled arms. A very pleasing style.  Hope he is using socks, however / The Sartorialist,

A classic casual style that works everywhere. The jacket is not required, it works equally well with a nice simple sweater / The pursuit aesthetic,

Just thrown together with his basics & favourites – note the stylish suede shoes with a stripe around it. And the belt. Stylish & cool / The Sartorialist,

A bit dressy, but certainly not excessive. It is always nice with a thin sweater or vest under the jacket. Nice combination & very nice suede shoes. Classic, elegant but still simple / The pursuit aesthetic,

Here, the outfit is more personal with a customized style & taste. However, still simple & nice because of the top part / Sisi shop,

No outfit is complete until the bag is selected. Applies to men also. Mobile phone & wallet are not nice to wear in pockets, it just looks clumsy, awkward & ugly / Ide verkstan,

Snow white / 34

Hej, how are you, everything fine, I hope. I’am a bit down & tired with fever & have been in bed on & off. My nose runs & the head pounds. It’s clearly time for the flu. Well, a new day, new beginning which always is reassuring. A new possibility to make things right, take new decisions, finish those things that’s started that are creating bad conscience. I started on the small disturbances that I want to get rid of. Small but annoying enough, you could say. I have lots of files, boxes / cartons that I have to go through. Clothes I need to clean out, calls & mail that needs to be done, friends to meet, where you constantly say you should get in touch…& actually really want to :) You know – all these little things. Well, small steps forward & I may soon feel that I have caught up. Here’s today’s entry that goes in white, to clear the conscience – maybe! I’m going back to bed again.

Just a beautiful picture, nothing else / Getty,
