Packing for London, Sydney & beyond...

Sofis Snapshots, photosdemode, knightcat, streetfsn, mfl.

It is hard packing for 9 months when you have no idea where you will be for most of that time. No job, no plans. A frined. That's it. I have a day in Stockholm, 3 in London and a few in Sydney to start my trip this time. I can feel I'm packing very "big city". Migt live in a small town in the Australian outback. Oh well. It's only clothes.

My bag is filled with black, white, grey, blue, lot's of worn denim, blazer, black leather (jacket & bags) and big shawls. 4 pairs of shoes, my dear converse sneakers, black flats, brown boots (very outdoorsy, I reckon) and my running shoes. The oly splash of colour is my yoga/running/cycling clothes. And even though I've filled up on toiletries this time I've still managed to keep my bag at 17 kg. Pretty good for 9 months away, if I say so myself. (the fact that I now own a kindle and have over 100 books on there instead of in my suitcase helps alot. Connot travel without having loads to read!)

Tickets are printed, bags are packed. I am ready to go!

They say when you start you can't stop. I'm not sure that's true, but what I do know is that right now I am tempted to add to my own collection...

I have traveled around half the world, looking for myself. I didn't find me. Not very surprisingly, I guess. I did find other things. Much beauty, many friends, even a little love... And now I am standing at the beginning of a new chapter in my life. I will try to search less and be more creative!

Tunnel Vision

2010-01-25T21:38:00.003Z

I'm living in a rut, every day the same, it could, would, drive me mad, if it was permanent, but knowing it will only last a few precious months makes me appreciate the monotony of everyday life. Funny that.

(Lolita, LoveMore, Elle, ?, quote by Eckhart Tolle)

Midweek, midmorning, would love to read the book I bought yesterday, "The Power of Now" by Eckhart Tolle. I've started reading it before, but I lost it somewhere in Australia or Asia but it's found it's way back to my life via Oxfam and now I'm keen to get into it again. But first there's work to be done.

A piece of me, January 2010

2010-01-14T19:51:00.005Z

This month....
I like: That I am back in London. Sweden was great for Christmas and New Years, but I do love a big city. I also like (love, really) everything cashmere since it's freezing. What else, bagels, peppermint tea, early morning yoga, Rosebud lip balm, Calvin Klein underwear, COS sale, hot showers and making plans for travelling.
I don't like: The cold! And the fact that in the UK it's cold indoors as well as outdoors.
I want you to know: That even though I'm not updating the blog as much as I used to it's still alive and I will try to get better again. Still love all your comments. They always make me happy!
I've planned: A yoga class with friends on Sunday, half planned a trip down to West Sussex (would love for this to happen, so many people I haven't seen for way too long)
I want to say to someone special: I have a few friends who are currently working towards getting jobs they really want and I want to wish them all the best of luck! Also I just read an email from Johanna, always such a sweetheart, and it really made my day.

"I want a ticket to anywhere"

2010-01-14T14:46:00.003Z

(ffffound, jonaspeterson, ?)
I have a ticket. To India. And plans that takes me to Australia via Bali. That's the thing. As soon as I get that ticket, my mind can not stop thinking about traveling. It's there constantly, that yearning to get going. I read books about traveling, I daydream, and if someone came up to me and said "maybe we make a deal, maybe together we can get somewhere", I would not hesitate to go...

But, for now I am here, in London, and this is where I need to keep my head to, I want to fully appreciate these last few months here, anything else would be a waste. But when the rain is pouring down and it is cold and grey, it's so easy to drift away.

Sunday, snow, brunch

2010-01-10T20:00:00.003Z

I'm back, in London, on the bolg. Spent Christmas and New Years in Sweden, had a fantastic time. But now I'm back in "the real world". Enjoying to not do anything at all. Work, yoga, books, friends, food. No grand plans. For a while anyway. If there was a "Like" button on my life right now, I would press it. Sofi likes this.

One year from now...

2009-12-02T21:49:00.005Z

(dustjacketattic, google, ?)
I'm finally getting around to arranging my tickets for my next trip. I'm not actually going until after summer, but I just feel like I want to get everything sorted, tickets, visas, make some sort of a plan (ha!) Anyways, first stop will be Delhi and then from there a bus to Rishikesh, then who knows, three or four months of freedom in India. I'm reading, talking to people, looking at images and I am getting super duper excited!

Umbrella

2009-11-30T20:09:00.003Z

Okay, so London is being very Londonish and it's been raining more or less constantly for the last couple of days. The umbrella is my new best friend. I'm very seriously thinking about buying a pair of black Hunter boots (I still haven't got a pair of proper winter boots, it's all Converse for me, love 'em, but not optimal for rain unfortunately)

Other than the weather, I'm just counting the days now (I know it's getting old, sorry) til I go home.

Bought a 10 day card for Jivamukti Yoga, so I'm getting really into that, two days of 90 min classes and my body is aching, but in a good way, so tomorrow I'm off again. A bit of a mission to get to Ladbroke Grove, especially since I'm going in the morning and the tube is as mad as ever, but well worth it when I'm there.

I don't have much more to say at the moment, I know the blogs been a bit slow lately, but I've finished my transcribing for a while now, so it should pick up, stay tuned.

Friday, Sunshine & Christmas Shopping

2009-11-27T10:43:00.005Z

(lefashion,lolita, fashiongonerouge, lovemore, ?)

It's cold outside but the sun is shining and I'm happy. It's Friday. Love Fridays, always. Next Friday will also be spent in the UK (Manchester, Chichester, London?) and the Friday after will be spent in NORRKÖPING. Yup. But now, yoga, then it's time to start buying pressies for Christmas, always exciting!

Peace of mind

2009-11-25T20:13:00.003Z

(ffffound, lolita, tamaralichtenstein, ?)

I don't know exactly why, but the last couple of days I've felt a great peace of mind. I've been working productively, feeling on top of things, and also really getting into my yoga again, and I've just felt calm. It's a great feeling!

Passing time

2009-11-23T20:03:00.003Z

(lefashion, lolita, photosdemode, ffffound, ?)

It's monday. I've got no plans for the week, or weekend, and basically I just want it to be december 10 so I can go home. (Did have the greatest weekend though, love!)

Style envy

2009-11-19T15:09:00.003Z

(fashiongonerouge, olsenanonymous, ?)

When it comes to fashion I've been seriously deprived this week (my own fault, I guess, to lazy to get out of my jeans & jumper uniform when working from home)

So I'm really looking forward to this weekend when I will have visitors from Sweden here and get an excuse to get out of the house and dress up a bit.

And after living in Sofia's fur vest last weekend (will post some pics as soon as my camera cable arrives back from Manchester, but I'm telling you, it's gorgeous!) I feel i ought to get something similar, so, I'm thinking Bricklane this weekend maybe, it's been to long since I was there anyway.

2009-11-16T13:39:00.003Z

(Lolita, LeLove, LeFashion, Ffffound, ?)

This weekend I went up to visit Sofia in Manchester. Such a great weekend, loved it, but we didn't get nearly enough sleep, so today everything is just coming along very very slowly, but I'm getting back to reality, there's work to be done, but let's just say it will be an early night for me tonight...

Lost?

2009-11-10T19:02:00.003Z

(Ffffound & ?)

I don't have much to say, I'm working flat out with children and typing this week, mixing it up with chocolate, coffee & yoga. Waiting, rather impatiently, for Thursday to arrive. That's all.

2009-11-09T12:16:00.003Z

It's another grey Monday in London, and today I wish I was somewhere far away, a place with exotic colours and warm weather, please.

ps. if you like collage and moodboards you have to check out this blog, it's pretty amazing!

Jeans; Acne / Top; Uniqlo / Cardie; MaxMara / and the usual bunch of second hand stuff

My outfit from yesterday. Went to the cinema and watched "a Christmas carol" in 3D, and now I just want Christmas more than ever (I actually listened to a couple of Christmas songs when I got home after the cinema, than I thought to myself, "I'm going crazy!" and I turned them off, but honestly, Christmas, bring it on!!)

Sunday

2009-11-08T09:44:00.006Z

Right now I feel like a slow, big breakfast. Later I'm walking down to Camden to meet up with Olivia and take her out for lunch and shopping as a birthday treat.

Good night

2009-11-05T23:36:00.007Z

Earlier this year I was obsessing slightly over moodboards, I did quite a few for my old blog, and today I rediscovered them in a long forgotten, well hidden folder, so here's for reuse! (got plenty more, so if you like this, let me know and I'll dig out some more)

Going to bed now, and not setting the alarm clock, feels good!

A piece of me in November 2009

I've joined a game hosted by "Notes from the toothfairy", basically what you do is you answer five questions every month, but to read more and join in on the fun if you feel like it just click the link above!

This month....

I like: That it's okay to start obsessing over Christmas, mulled wine, buying gifts, sending cards, bring it on! I also like that my cold has finally given up and that I'm now going strong (literally) on my yoga mat again. Scented candles, twilight chocolates and my morning latte are other things that makes my life very enjoyable at the moment!
I don't like: That it's getting colder, darker and rainier, I'm more of a sunshine kinda gal!
I want you to know: That I really love all the sweet comments I get on the blog, they all make me very happy!
I've planned: A night out at a jazz club (a first) a trip to Manchester (another first), and last but not least a visit from family, yeay!
I want to say to someone special: Actually, I would like to say to all the girls (you know who you are) that I love you lots and I can't wait to go home for Christmas to be with you all!

A foolproof shortcut to a cool look and the perfect solution to "I-don't-have-anything-to-wear" days (or, indeed, nights) black, black, black and more black! Yes, I go crazy over colorful gypsy editorials, are drawn to sparkly sequins, obsess over soft pastels and love an animal print or two, but sometimes, less is more!

Bonjour!

2009-11-02T13:51:00.005Z

Jeans; Cheap Monday / Jumper; Kookai / And, like always, lots of second hand

I feel french today! Could be because both my super comfy cashmere jumper and my dark red Chanel nail varnish were bought in Paris, or maybe it's because I had a croissant for breakfast and are wearing red and white striped socks with frogs on them, who knows? Either way, I like it!

Monday morning

2009-11-02T07:25:00.004Z

New day, new week, new month, and I feel ready for a fresh start!
I've said goodbye to the cold that's been coming and going constantly during the last few weeks, and instead I've said hello to my yoga mat again, which feels great. Also, the sun is out and I have an over all happy feeling inside me this morning.

4 x untitled fairytales

2009-10-28T19:11:00.004Z

Don't remember where these pics comes from (however I know for a fact that it's from four different sources) but they were all saved as "untitled" in my inspiration folder, and they seem to belong together, don't they? Love the colours and fairytale feeling of them.

PS. I didn't do any shopping, zero, zip, nada. I almost bought tons of stuff, found a quite amazing number of gorgeous bags, but decided that no, I do not need another one!

Also, a fair few jackets (it's my latest obsession, I've got loads but can't help looking for more), but kept to my promise to myself to buy only what I actually need, which in this case is the boots.

The search will continue tomorrow. I did High Gate, Muswell Hill, Kentish Town & Camden today (my feet are dead from all the walking, dead!), and I'm thinking Golders Green as my next stop (hello London underground!).

Now, Americas Next Top Model (I don't know so don't even ask)

I randomly got Wednesday off this week, so I'm gonna go out and search for a pair of winter boots. I love that it never gets really cold in England, it's so much easier to fins find nice coats and boots that just need to be enough for coldish rather than the f***ing freezing we get in Sweden during winter where you have to dress like your going on an expedition to Antarctica every time you step out.

Confusion

2009-10-27T18:45:00.005Z

So, freedom, yes, it's great, it's what I want, I love having no plans, being able to do whatever I want, whenever I want. But sometimes, just sometimes, it hits me, "I don't know what I'm doing". Not a clue.

People keep asking me, so, after all this travelling business, then what? Are you going to study?

Frankly, I don't know. Most of the time I like not knowing, I enjoy being lost, in a new country or city as much as in life, because i believe it brings you possibilities and opportunities that you wouldn't get if you had a plan, followed a map and knew where you were going and had everything stalked out already.

But on some days I just feel like, what's the point? Why can't I be like normal people and know what I want in life? Why can't I be content?

Then again, what's the point of that? (catch 22?!)

I guess I'll just carry on being lost and hopefully I'll find some sort of a point somewhere, sometime.

When my friends were here last weekend I asked them what they thought about my new blog they said they liked it, but they missed the outfit posts (I'm perplexed, I thought no one cared about these posts and to me to was more of a motivation to get dressed up and stay reasonably slim) but, your wish is my command, so here it goes, first outfit post on Inspire me happy. This is what Sofi looks like when she goes to the theatre on a Thursday night. And, speaking about that, I went to see "Marilyn, forever blonde" and it was soo amazing, it was a one woman show, and Sunny Thompson was like a real incarnation of Marilyn, the way she moved, her voice, it was mesmerizing really, if you get the chance to go and see this show, take it, it was fantastic!

It's been so, so good to have the girls here, we've been busy, and we've done lots and lots of fun stuff, it's been long days, longer nights & short sleeps. I think we've successfully crammed 2 months worth of conversation & shopping (possibly even drinking) into one weekend. Pretty impressive if you ask me.

But I think I'm getting old, I'm so exhausted I feel like could sleep for days, or weeks. But never mind that, I'd do it again any day (preferably next weekend) but then again, you appreciate each other so much more when you've been away and don't take each other for granted.

Everyday magic

2009-10-15T12:18:00.004+01:00

(fashiongonerouge, Knut, cherryblossomgirl, ?)

I have a thing about sunsets and sunrises. They happen by them selves every single day, and still I find them extraordinary, mesmerizing, breathtakingly amazing.

I think I might have told you this before, but I actually sleep without any blinds or curtains, just to be able so wake up an look straight out the window up at the sky (very depressing some mornings when all you get is greyness & rain) but to wake up to a sunrise is always amazing.

I collect memories of sunsets & sunrises, and I can remember a few sunrises extra well, the one in Malaysia in the boat heading to the Perenthian Islands (pic no 3), one early morning in Marickville sitting on the balcony overlooking Sydney's skyline, going in the truck from Bowral with the mist still on the fields and Kangaroos skipping away, in Sweden in the harbour in Tyrislöt at 4 o´clock, waking up on the beach of monkey Island seeing the sun rise over Pantai Chenang.

And don't even get me started on sunsets, since they tend to be more convenient time wise I have quite a few (but the one by the lighthouse on Langkawi was pretty spectacular, so was the one in KL tower, the one on St Kildas beach and the one on Missjö this summer)

Like I said, they happen every day, they don't cost a thing and we take them for granted, but they really are truly magic.

Good morning Thursday

(MadeByGirl)

Some people read the morning paper, I've got a blog list!

To me it's like a ritual. In the mornings, I make a nice big latte (my life standard improved since moving to London and getting a proper coffee machine. When I get my own place that will be the first thing I'll buy, never mind a bed, just gimme good coffee and I'll be happy!) and I start going through blogs.

You might think, who would put up blog posts first thing in the morning (well,me obviously)? But actually, since it's a big world, with many time zones, I have quite a lot of catching up to do! Which I love. Blogs really are a treat. There are so many out there, featuring everything you could ever imagine, written by so many talented, creative people. And you get them updated everyday, for free!

But now it's time to take hold on my own life, my real life, I need to be very productive today, ant it might be the sun (or it might be the coffee) but I'm feeling really motivated to get started!

Love you lots

Some pics and thoughts on fashion inspiration.

2009-10-14T19:52:00.003+01:00

(Vogue Paris & UK, altamiranyc, fushiagroan, ?)

I'm loving these looks, just throw a scarf and maybe a hat on and you're all set! I always have streetstyle pics on as screen saver and a glossy mag or two laying around, open on some inspirational editorial.

It's not about dressing just as the people on the pics, the inspiration I'm after is more of a feeling, like, you know, instead of throwing on a pair of tracksuit bottoms, skip make-up and do a messy ponytail (not messy in a good way) it just inspires me to actually make some effort in getting dressed.

To some, this might seem like, I don't know, like of course you make an effort, but honestly, working as an au pair (and I can really relate to stay-at-home mommies as well) it's just like, frankly you don't care, and no one else cares.

Showing up at an office like that people might raise an eyebrow, doing the school run looking like a mess is nothing strange.

So, inspiration, without it, I would be a mess (now I'm the most glamours girl in Kentish Town, ehhm, well, something like that).

Fashion is fun. It's not about showing off, it's about felling good about oneself. Today I wore a silk dress. And sunglasses (it wasn't even sunny) and felt great.

Might start doing outfit pics again, what do you think, yes, no? That's another thing that got me motivated to get a little bit dressed up.

Anyway, i need to get back to typing, rant over for this time.

Love you lots

New stuff that's old stuff!

When I moved from Itchyfeet and started this blog I wanted it to be all about images. But I miss writing...So I figured out how to use the "read more" feature that I've seen (and envied) on other blogs.

I think the pics I post on this blog are all so pretty, and a lot of boring, boring text might make the pics look boring too, and I don't want that!

But, like I said, I missed the writing, and it is my blog, after all, so here we go. I guess, in a way, this is mostly for "my girls" (so maybe it should be done in Swedish? Maybe it will be? Not sure bout that one yet) but of course, anyone interested in my rants are more than welcome to read it.

Now that I'm writing I'm loving it and I could go on for ever bu, no such luck, kids need to be picked up from school, so off I go. But I'll be back alter, don't you worry about that ;)

Love you lots!

xoxo Sofi

After spending the afternoon walking around the TNT travel expo and listening to Chris Borland and Peter Moore, all want to do is book my round the world ticket and be off (tomorrow preferably!) But, I have one more year in Europe (which isn't bad, to be honest) before I can hit the road, but this just made me soo excited!

*(ps. I got a comment on an earlier post that I should write out the source to the pics, and I totally agree. The problem is, I've acquired the pics after years of reading blogs, googling and so on, so to be honest, most of the time I've no idea where they came from. I will however try to get better when saving things in the future and really make an effort!)

Time to get dressed

2009-10-10T11:20:00.000+01:00

Today I'm feeling ripped jeans (still, I know) First off to Westfield for lunch and a Martini event, then Covent Garden for TNT's travel expo. Fun, fun lots of fun!

Good morning Saturday

Breakfast at Tiffany's

2009-10-09T22:28:00.000+01:00

I know it's a bit of a cliché, but "Breakfast at Tiffany's" is one of my all time favorite movies, alongside "Sabrina" and "A Roman Holiday", which leads me to the conclusion that I must have some sort of a girl crush on Audrey, but you have to agree she is amazingly beautiful!

A fresh start

2009-10-09T14:52:00.001+01:00

There are so many fantastic, inspiring things in this world. Gorgeous people, breathtaking places, amazing clothes, spectacular shoes, extraordinary interior designs and beautiful words, to name just a few. I love and collect these fantastic things, and on this blog I want to share some of them with you. I hope you will enjoy it!

Friday!

It seems like everywhere you turn these days there's something leopardy in sight. Personally I'm quite happy about this, I've been a big leopard fan for years. My only worry is that I'll get sick of it due to overexposure, but for now I'm just gonna enjoy it!

I wouldn't mind spending the rest of my life walking around barefoot on the beach.

Okay, so if I was only allowed to dress in Dries Van Noten everyday, I really wouldn't mind too much, honest. Love the shapes, the colours, the styling, the jewlery, the bags, so yea, love everything really.

Highest priority, buy an umbrella!
