TIP: COLUMBINE

A tip for all your non-Swedes, as my home people probably find this old news. Columbine Smille is Elin Kling's personal stylist / assistant, and has her own blog at Freshnet. I used to check this weekly but it's not become more of a daily thing... I love her sense of style and class, she never fails to dress. Not to mention she manages to make Elin look exceptional all the time too.

I LEFT MY HEART ON THE DANCEFLOOR

dress:SUPRÉ, rings: a bit of everything, boots: betts
Happy weekend . I am so happy it's finally here after such a busy week. Raunch-o relax-o for me, might be a bit of gym involved but otherwise just late mornings, breakfast on the balcony, maybe a little ride. Hopefully I get to finish off my dress too :)

DON'T HIDE YOUR PRETTY FACE

Just something hot about this photo. I can't quite stop staring at it. Last night I had a bit of a Bond-fantasy-dream, I had on a fancy red dress with a thigh-high slit at some high class party. I sipped champagne and hid under a black mask just like those ones. I had pearls around my neck, smokey eyes and blood coloured lipstick. I have no idea where and why I dreamt this but I felt so luxurious. Hehe

LET'S KICK SOME ASS

Finally getting my ass back to the gym after a long holiday from it. Wish me luck as I will probably be dragging my feet now in the beginning. Manage to rush to the post office to get my package- a present from home. Thank you Mum, you really know how to make me smile. And just so you all know, I also have the best Father in the whole wide world.

BILLY & HIS COCK

I've been in touch with good old Jem this week (who also recently picked up his brand spanking new Duke 1098, CONGRATS!), and things really seem to be escalating quickly for him and his business patner Goldy and their denim label Billycock. You see them a lot here on watermeloncrush, cause I love love LOVE my pair and have never had any other jeans that really compare. They did a runway show in Surry Hills last week, and I was bummed that I couldn't make it, but I was sent through some photos from the night:











Also, if you've become Facebook fans of their's you might have seen the new fashions shots a while back, which I think are fantastic. It just makes me want a pair of every cut, wash and colour...






Finally good news for all you cock fans! They will be making an appearance at Fashion FFWd Festival Sydney 2010, with a stall and showcasing their collection on the runway. 7th-9th of May, click here for more deets. See you there!

THINGS ARE NOT THE WAY THEY USED TO BE

boots: betts, bag: chanel, chains: gift from our lovely stylist ♥
I got another parcel in the mail! Love those. I don't know who it's from but I'm hoping from home. Trying to rush through work today so I can make it to the post office. After a whole heap of meetings yesterday I am swamped for another two weeks at least. I will do my best to keep checking in here too, cause I love you all so :) Thank you for all your support & sweet comments, and to those 38 new followers as of last week, welcome! xo

I CAN'T LET GO OF THIS FEELING

Finally home after a long day. Worked on the second SUPRÉ campaign for the month, all very exciting. It looks great, will give you guys a sneak preview as soon as I can. From one project to the next I came home an am now working on my dress which seems to be never ending. Would be so much easier if I had a sowing machine... Anyway, back to it. Hopefully be giving you guys better entires later this week. xo

MUST HAVE: AUTO PILOT

Another hectic day, I just have to stop and give this tip to you all. Me and my collegue went to Napoleon Make Up's clearance sale last week, and I picked up Auto Pilot Primier Face Cream, becuase I've heard so much about it and have never used a premier before so I wanted to give this one a shot, considering it was supposedly so good. It is SO GOOD. This makes my skin feel flawless and makes make-up very easy and smooth to apply. I won't be living without my Auto Pilot anymore. You can pick it up at Napoleon's retailers all over Oz or online for about $69.

YOU KNOW BETTER THAN I DO

I know of at least one person who shares my Calvin Harris passion, who also as I, enjoys ($92) martinis and drive way conversation. I can't stop listening to this... help me.

LET'S TAKE A RIDE ON THE COUNTRY SIDE. LET'S RUN AWAY

Spring in Europe, and I just fell in love with this little fashion story. That Triumph is now even more tempting... old school motorbike, Chanel accessories, a spring blue sky and streets of Paris. Used to be able to fly to Paris for $20, just for over the weekend. Here in Aus we have to settle with a trip up the coast... Which is hopefully happening over the weekend!

YOU USED TO HOLD ME

jeans: billycock, singlet: KON, sunnies: bondi markets
Morning! Hey it's Tuesday already, but really a Monday. How good is that. Love long weekends. The few days off consisted of a bit of Bondi, a bit of beer, a bit of home made pizza, a bit of xbox and movies. It's getting cold here in Sydney, looks like winter is finally underway. This week we are shooting again, got lots of more work lined up. Hectic. Might be able to post you a preview of the new campaign later today. But first - I'm off to work. Cheerio

PS: I am now officially a self-confessed Calvin Harris addict.

THOSE WILL BE THE BEST MEMORIES

It's the weather's fault. They promised sunshine today, and instead it's gloomy, drizzling. I was looking for tape so I can finish the dress I'm making, when I found these. Old photos. I miss my friends back home in Sweden, and it doesn't feel right not having spoken to them in so long. My brother, mum and dad. Jack. Hate looking through them. It just makes me feel empty. It's the weathers fault.

SO WHY DO I KEEP MISSING YOU

my new boots which are still too warm to wear...
Hi my lovelies. Here in Australia we have a long weekend underway, it's Anzac Day on Sunday, so we are remembering all the war veterans with parades and services. Plus we get Monday off which I'm not complaining about. Such a busy last few days at work, which you might have noticed with my lack of updates. Spent all of Thursday finalizing the new campaing imagery and catalogue, which all look fabulous. Will post you a sneak preview on Tuesday. Then on Friday I had all the new arrivals for online to take care of, which took until about 7 pm to clear up. But hey the long weekend finaly came, and me and my collegue Sonia even managed to attend a PR birthday bash and go shopping at Napoleon Make Up's clearance sale. Which was awesome. The only disappointment was my Melbourne friend not delivering martinis and drive-way converstation as promised. What do you do. A trip to Melbourne is due soon. I shall now be returning to my rosé and long weekend. Hope you all are having a good few days off xo

HARD WORKING WOMAN

Phew what a morning. What a day it's going to be, and another night after that. Yesterday evening we enjoyed a sneaky one @ Darling Harbour's Meat and Wine Co. with a friend from Melbourne. Tracks quickly lead to Cohi bar after that, which probably wasn't the most genious idea, at least it doens't seem so this morning after those apple martinis. But a good night. And YUMMY cocktails. Super busy @ work, new shots are coming in today from Mondays shoot, plus the millions of new arrvials for the website. It's hard to even grasp everything that needs to be done, so I gotta run. Sweaty Betty 6th birthday bash in Bondi tonight too. What to wear what to wear...

Ciao bellas

PUSS IN BOOTS

Haha. Just realizes how bad that title sounds. Anways, here are the other pair of boots from Betts that I was meant to show you yesterday. These are really comfertable, I honestly can't stop wearing them. Loves it.

ONE TO WATCH: EXTRA! EXTRA!

After more images from the Sex and the City 2 movie released last week I am guessing that this newspaper print trend will be hitting stores and more runways. What do you think? I must say I'm not a fan. But whatever these guys say goes for certain fashionistas ;)

PIMP MY BLAZER

blazer: SUPRÉ $55
After shopping copious amounts of floor cleaner, hand soap, dishwashing liquid, laundry detergent etc. after work yesterday, I came home and vacuumed, moped all our tiled floors, did the dishes and the laundry. I managed to clean up the mess on our bedroom floor too (wardrobe clean up now complete). And I had time to pimp my blazer from work with a few left over chains. Satisfaction.

MORE THAN JUST THAT

Sometimes it's hard to know what is right or wrong, in or out, do or don't. There are so many things you want to do and want to be and it all gets a little bit too much at once. I used to believe that alone is strong, and to never bother other people with your thoughts or your questions. But I have learnt through the last few years that alone might sometimes be stronger, but never as joyful and carefree. I realize from time to time what incredible people I have around me, and how much my friends, my family and my love means to me. I know that I have stumbled in the past, and I will always remember those of you who were there for me then. I am strong, passionate and dedicated today, because of you.

I can't wait to go back to Sweden in December and see all my friends and family. And I get to show my babycakes where I am from, my home. And I can't WAIT to go back to South Africa. Late summer nights, cocktails, beach and mischief. I can't wait.

DIGITAL KILLED THE POLAROID

My find @ the Bondi markets on Sunday. Cheeky little thing. $30 from King of Nothing (ʞON) Check out their site here, you can order online too. The guy who sold these to us (the boys bought one each with a different print) said he just came across his Dad's old photos and started printing them on T-Shirts. Very cool huh.

THE BAKING LADY

So proud of myself, I actually managed to bake my own olive bread to go with our soup last night. Easy peasy, you can find the recipe here, and it turned out pretty good. I'm such a housewife.

KATE'S CROCHET

Steal Kate's style at Top Shop (here). She never fails to inspire me this woman. Considering she's dated one of the best looking actors around and later moved on to someone even better (go Stellan!), she is obviously doing something right.
