My birthday party look from this weekend.
The dress is an online exclusive from H&M that’s now sold out and I just got it last week...
Ladies, do you wear a lot of red in the fall/winter months?

Ministry of Cejf
For anyone that has been following my blog or any of my other social media knows that I absolutely love Sarajevo. I go a few times a year and always end up discovering new places to see and visit. This year it was Ministry of Cejf a coffee shop in the old town, near Sebilj. A friend of mine actually took me there and I have a feeling I will be going back many, many, many times!!! It’s a cute little café with old sowing machine stands as tables, how freakin’ cool is that? Super cool, if you ask me!
And if you don’t believe me, check out the TripAdvisor page…
For some strange reason, I only managed to snap a few pictures, like this one…
…this is the cute little street the café is on, Kovaci 26.
Yellow, my love!
I’ve been looking for the perfect yellow blazer for a while and I had almost lost hope of finding one, until I randomly one day saw one through a store window in Sarajevo. I walked straight to it and grabbed on, which happened to be in a size perfect for me.
I tend to wear black a lot, it’s like my happy color, and it isn’t to make me look skinny, I just love it. I guess because it’s so easy to match with everything else that I focus more on, like colorful bags.
I couldn’t find the exact same blazer/jacket but I found a really pretty one in the same color from a store I won’t even mention because the sizing was freakin’ ridiculous.
In love with Hallhuber
While at the airport in Munich, during a delay, I stumbled across Hallhuber, a random store I’m now in love with. After browsing for a while and being helped by an amazing shop assistant I walked out of there with not one, but two new bags. They were both on sale, for a great price, I just couldn’t leave them.
I originally walked in because of a straw beach bag but when saw this clutch I changed my mind.
Granted, I still want the beach bag and I might get it but since I had already gotten a few new bags while on vacation I opted for the two smaller ones. ( I’ll show you the other one in a separate post))
Right now there is an amazing sale going on (and I want everything) but unfortunately they don’t deliver to Sweden. I might just have it sent to a family member or a friend in one of the counties they do deliver too and have them forward the package to me…
We’ll see!
This love affair continues…
Hello there…
Just dropping by to say hello…so much has happened since I last posted but let’s not get into that.
Been travelling a bit therefore you can expect all kinds of updates in the next few weeks…!!!
Gigi Hadid x Maybelline
I was a bit late on the Gigi Hadid x Maybelline hype because I didn’t see anything in the collection that I absolutely had to have. Nothing stood out, color wise, for me to buy it.
But, a few weeks ago I saw all the products on sale and got two things. Now regretting I even spent money on it.
The eye contour palette is a joke, literally. Quite possibly the worst Maybelline product I have ever tried. It felt like I had bought a counterfeit palette from Ebay. Absolutely worthless! It feels weird saying that since Maybelline is one of my favorite brands. I literally feels like they didn’t even care about the product but instead were hoping people would buy it because Gigi’s name was attached to it. And I’m sure a lot of people did. I’ve used it twice and both times I hated it. The fallout is the worst I’ve ever come across and the color payoff, pretty much non-existent. By noon I didn’t have anything on my eyes anymore.
Worst buy of the year, so far!!!
*interior design edition*
Something I’m super excited for at the beginning of summer is to move to my brand new apartment. I get the keys in about 6 weeks but I’m already buying things and looking in stores for inspiration.
Furniture I’m almost set on and I know what I want. I’m also doing a bit of DIY for this project and mixing different styles. Pinterest has been my go-to page for all things DIY and I already have a shopping list saved on Ikea.com, ready for the order to be placed and delivered.
I’ve always had so much going on with different bits and bobs on display which bother me so much when I’m cleaning. Therefore I’ve decided to keep it minimal this time around.
Below are some of the things I have on my wish list for interior design/decoration.
On my wishlist…*bag edition*
So, lately I’ve been wanting to invest in another designer bag, to kind of treat myself. I mean I did just get a Rebecca Minkoff M.A.C Crossbody in black with silver hard wear (post coming soon) and also a By Malene Birger Maggia bag (which I got in a really good sale) but I want a real investment piece like a Gucci or a Saint Laurent bag.
I’ve been on Net-A-Porter every day for the last two weeks browsing while thinking about what and IF I should get one.
Here are some of my faves.
I like the Off-White binder clip bags too but I don’t know if that’s gonna turn out to be a classic or if it’s the hype bag of the moment.
What do you think? Do you own any of these bags?
Easter weekend!
Spent this Easter holiday around friends and family. Much-needed and appreciated!
