Baby it´s cold outside….

Veröffentlicht am von

Yes, it finally came! The snow is here and we have nearly artic temperatures.

The white, crisp snow makes everything so much more beautiful and peaceful. It adds a lot of light to this dark season of the year.

Since Sunday the temperature has been around of -15°C or even lower – at the nighttime it´s getting down to -20. Keeping warm is quite a challenge.

When I lived in Germany – in Cologne to be exact  – I didn´t really know what winter means. I also didn´t have the right clothes for it. However, if you want to enjoy this season in Sweden, warm clothes are essential.

No matter how cold it gets, I absolutely love this time of the year! Only when my girls have to get dressed for outside adventures, it gets more complicated. It can easily take 15 min before all 3 of us are properly dressed ;-)

For my birthday this year I got the classic Woolrich Arctic Parka – a basic piece that will keep me warm for many winters.

At the moment I match it with warm cardigans,  tops and big boots.

Next week we will celebrate the St. Lucia day, one of my absolute favorite holiday traditions here in Sweden.

I can’t wait to tell you all about this wonderful day.

Until then, stay warm and cozy! Have a wonderful week!

Love from Stockholm, Tilla

Hello December!

It’s finally December – the time of the year that we all love so much! The first snow comes usually in December…at least the one that sticks around for a couple of hours. We build snowmen, go ice skating or just throw snowballs. We spend the Advent Sundays with loved ones at home or we get some Christmas shopping done. This is a great time to realize how fortunate we are and to focus on giving instead of taking. Trust me: it can only enhance your Christmas cheer!
As much as we love getting gifts, there’s nothing better than the feeling when you give someone an amazing present. So why don’t you give a nice design piece to your sweethearts?! Something for their homes, where they are sitting by a Christmas tree and feeling happy.

My first suggestion is a handmade ceramic funnel for na iPhone and/or an iPod touch. It was made by the designers Isabella Lovero and Enrico Bosa. The device is working as a speaker and doesn’t need the electricity! The combination of an acoustic performance, aesthetic wood and ceramic design makes this piece a very special Christmas present.

This decorative seat cushion “Urchin” designed by the Dutch artist Christien Meindertsma  is made out of thick wool.  It is hand knitted, available in bright colours and in 10 different sizes. So don’t hesitate to invite your whole family for Christmas! You will have a right gift for everyone:)

This side table is made of a recycled wood and a glossy varnish.
The combination of two different materials and two different forms make it a  mixture of art and handcraft. This wonderful and individual piece fits in almost every living ambience.

These two tables are made of a chestnut tree trunk and a plane. Because of the visible structures of the chestnut and plane wood, these tables became real masterpieces!
Timeless design meets the naturalness of the wood – simply brilliant!

Even if you’re not a big Christmas fan, you’ll certainly enjoy getting cozy with a cup of hot chocolate and thinking about some nice gifts for your loved ones!

The Repetto Wardrobe

Veröffentlicht am von

For those who might not know, Repetto is an old and well respected French brand. They initially specialized in ballet products, but through the years they have extended their range of products. I’m an admirer of Repetto  because of their impressive knowledge of the dance industry, the quality of the products and the longevity of the brand. They have been in the business for over 65 years. Their Catchphrase is „A promise of a unique grace and lightness“ and I simply love how it describes the whole atmosphere of the brand.

My favorite item of Repetto is their classic „ballerines“ (ballet flat shoes). Interestingly, they became famous when French actress Brigitte Bardot asked Repetto to create them for a movie in 1956. After that they were called Cinderella Ballerinas.

They are so simple and cute, you just want them in different colors and leather types!

Ballerinas are popular not only among female high street customers but also among celebrities. Every women will find at least one pair of ballerinas in their shoe collection. They come in different colors and fabrics, but if you want them to last for a long time and feel like a French ballerina, I suggest Repetto.

Now guess what… on Wednesday, Repetto launched their first ready to wear clothes line! 18 pieces of grace and simplicity – just for us! It is such a clever idea, I love how they combine ballet dancing clothes with everyday pieces for everyday life.

I have picked my three favorites from the collection.

I like the tutu look-a-like in this one

The open back of that one is also adorable.

The color of the top together with the transparent skirt just makes an outfit!

There are two things I am passionate about – dance and fashion, and I am really happy that one of my favorite brands has had the idea of creating a wardrobe for everyone, not just dancers. So check out the collection!

Au revoir!
