A Bag Made Out Of Straw

I haven't been blogging for a week so I thought it was about time to write a post now. I just came back from a successful shopping day with my sister, who came back to Sweden Wednesday! There's a mall not too far away from where we live, and this mall also holds a second hand shop and this is where we spent most of our time. I found a very nice black skirt for only 10 SEK (about 1 euro), it's knee length and somewhat pleated. It's by the brand "Lapidus of Sweden" and doesn't seem to be manufactured recently as the sizes doesn't seem modern, but I can't quite place the decade on it. I also got a very cheap, but lovely dress by the brand Mari Phillipe along side a pair of H&M cateye sunglasses. Everything found extremely cheap and i'm very happy with the day as a whole.

The other day, Wednesday, I did meet my sister up by her flight bus as she arrived to Stockholm central station. As she flew off to the Netherlands before I came back from Germany we hadn't seen each other for 3 weeks, so guess if I was happy to finally see her again. We grabbed some food out and soon decided to go visit our grandmother. The very same day she was supposed to travel to Portugal to visit a friend but had to cancel this due to having severe pain in her knee. Over the years she's had a lot of problems with it, but now it's worse than ever. To cheer her up we bought some flowers and showed up at her door surprising her. Needless to say, she got really happy! Unfortunately I don't have any pictures of the flowers but take my word for it when I say they were really adorable and I know they are in great hands. My grandmother is a real flower person, opposite to me who seem to be very prone to kill plants so I usually go for plastic ones.

I also had two orders done a few days ago. I ordered a really cute dress from Zalando, dark blue with white polka dots and the thought is that I will be wearing this dress on my boyfriends family gathering next month. I also bought a vintage bag, a 50's one, and it's absolutely lovely. It's from a Swedish webshop http://vintagesmulor.se/, so take a look if you're Swedish, or otherwise as well, she may even ship abroad? It was love at the first sight! As I actually was torn between my love for the bag and my senses telling me "no you need to save your money" a friend had to give me a push to actually buy it. And i'm glad she did! The bag arrived two days ago, only a day and a half after I ordered it, and it also came with a handwritten note thanking me for ordering from her. I was surprised with the really good service, and I never want to be without this bag ever! I got some photos of the bag, and I will also post photos of the dress after it arrived. Hopefully it will on Monday.

Other than this me and my mum went to the cinema together last Sunday and we saw "Snow White and the Huntsman". I must admit I was a bit sceptic to the film at first due to Kristen Stewart being in it as i'm no fan of the Twilight serie, but I was actually surprised in a good way. Kristen did a great job along side other actors such as beautiful Charlize Theron and Chris Hemsworth. Even though a lot of the traditional Snow White elements such as the dwarfs, the magical mirror and poisonous apple were all there there was a nice change to see Show White picking up a sword leaving the views of how these traditional fairy tale princesses are seen as. In my opinion it's definitely a film worth watching.

I got some chocolate mud cake waiting for me and some chocolate, so i'll definitely have a nice Friday evening even though I really miss the German chocolate. Luckily i'll be back in Germany on the 11th of July so the countdown has started.

Have an amazing Friday evening!

Love, Kristina
