Almost Parisienne #3
I love my life in Paris but there are just a few aspect about the french culture that I (and the girls) could live without…
Naturals of Scandinavia
To all my curly girls back home! Don’t miss out on the chance to hang out with the lovely @frogirlginny at the “Naturals of Scandinavia” event organized by “Versatility Beauty & Fashion” next Friday! I’m so thrilled to see more and more events like this in Sweden and I would have loved to be there but work got me stuck in Paris. Curly ladies, mark your calendar and get your tickets here!
Back to work
Hey there folks!
Hope all is good on your side and that you’ve had a great summer. I just got back to work after four lovely weeks of vacation and I’m already back at it in full force! To all my people in Paris, Club S.W.E is back with a second edition of “Brocante Scandinave” and this time we will invade “Grand Train” with beautiful Scandinavian design. Our first edition at Nüba was very appreciated so we thought we do a second one. So, tell your friends to bring their friends and see you all on the 11th of September at Le Grand Train! #ClubSWE
Staycation
Got a few more days in town before I will go home and see my family in Sweden and I’m loving every moment. August is actually my favourite month in Paris since everybody is on vacation and the vibe here is so peaceful. The other day, I decided to start working on my list, (previous post) so I went for a walk at “La Coulée Verte”. Gosh, I had no idea it would be that hard to complete my list with 30 aspects and so far I “only” wrote down 12 things but I’m ready to deal with them one by one. I’m also curious to see how far I can push myself to come up with the remaining 18 aspects! #timetocleanup #checkoutmypreviouspost #liveYOURlife
Time to clean up!
Finally some vacation! I’ve got the whole month of August off and this summer, I decided not to plan much and only take time for me. It’s been a while since I sat my ass down for a one on one conversation with myself and I feel that it’s time “clean up”. So, to get started, I have this lovely lady as my motivation:

Launch Party
Yesterday, my girl Maya (aka @lavielocale) hosted a launch party at Artéfact for her new guide called “Paris Cafés from A to Z”. This guide is an illustration themed guidebook to cafés in Paris for every letter of the alphabet. For this book, Maya teamed up with the very talented illustrator Yukiko Noritake and this guidebook is truly a beautiful piece of art. Visit @pariscafesfromatoz and find out where you can get your very own copy!

Off the market
Last weekend was lit! Diana, a childhood friend of mine got married in Belgrade last Saturday and it was such a beautiful party. I’ve know her since the age of 7 and I’m so grateful that I had the opportunity to be there for her big day. Her people sure know how to party and I can’t remember last time I turned up for 6 hours…
Best wishes Didi ❤
Checking out!
Destination wedding here I come! One of my childhood friends is getting married in Belgrade this weekend and I can’t wait to turn up! Me and Diana meet 25 year ago and even though I left my hometown 12 years ago, she has always been by my side. You know you old when you don’t have a selfie to post with your childhood friends but what we did have were moments like this:
