SKIRT // BLOUSE // BOOTS // BRACELET // BAG // BRACELET
Please excuse me while I pick my jaw up off the floor. The skirt.. I die. The pink bracelet.. how cute?? Pair that with the light and flowy blouse tucked inside which goes perfectly with the oh so cool spiked boots and bracelet for a bad ass edge. The bag? No… Words… Needed. How I wish I could wear this tomorrow!! I would be the happiest girl on the planet :D
Isn’t this just gorgeous?

Wowsers!! The weather has been absolutely magnificent today so I just had to jump straight into the bikini and just be.. ♥
I applied some of my favourite pre-shampoo treatment (Link!), and let is work it’s magic underneath the warm sun while sipping on todays’ smoothie. I think I will do this as a ritual every time I use this treatment :) My bikini is from Pain de Sucre, but I couldn’t find it online.. I found this though which I think looks really nice.
I hope your day is just as wonderful as mine with just as much sun and happiness ♥

Hello sunshines ☀
What wonderful weather!! I love the sun so much!
Last night we went out for dinner, and I put James on the task of taking my pictures. I see we have some training to do. Note my face expression saying “will you ever find the button” haha…
Shirt- Zara (old) // Jeans – Diesel // Bag – Anya Hindmarch // Boots – Jimmy Choo // Hair – HERE
Both meetings went really well, and as per usual I am so excited about the changes to our home. It’s now been a year since we moved in, and dressing rooms, kitchen and bathrooms has been made. Most of the furniture is in place, except the last chunk that hopefully will arrive from New York soon. We’ve also bought our very first two paintings – super exciting!! I will show you most of the flat once it’s fully decorated ;D First, here are the paintings:
The artist behind these gorgeous paintings is Conor Harrington. We were so lucky to get these two as most the rest of the exhibition “Dead Meat” was bought by Damien Hirst, a well known art collector. What’s even cooler is that Conor Harrington has agreed to meet us and exclusively paint us a piece for our lounge “however we want it”! Screams!! :D I insert quotation marks because you can never really decide anything when dealing with artists ;)
Now I’m off on a hike as the weather seems to turn out just as good today! I hope it’s sunny and wonderful where you are too ♥
Lots of love!! XX

Good morning sweets ♥
WOW! You guys! I have so many new products on my “have to try list” it just keeps getting longer and longer haha, thank you all so much for sharing your favourite products ♥
It was so nice to wake up today, the sun is finally back again and it gives me such a boost of energy! I woke up to this huge girl covering almost the whole view. She must be one of the worlds largest! :O
What do you think about my new header/design? It’s still a bit of tweeking left but no major changes. I was planning on waiting for the pictures from the photoshoot, but I have a restless soul like a gypsy so I had to make some changes and took some pictures yesterday. I put together a “home studio” where I used white curtains in front of the window to act as a light box, and I used a white wall as background. Not too far off how the setting was on the photoshoot actually, you can get a long way with a bit of imagination :)
I have a quite busy day today so the energy will come in handy. We have two meetings this morning, waiting for the first guy as I write this. And as I typed that sentance the door rang. Got to run! Have a lovely morning!! See you later XX

I’ve been browsing through recipes and noticed almond milk is a popular ingredient in lots of Raw recipes so I decided to make it :) It’s probably the easiest recipe I’ll ever give you ;)
You need:
♥ Unsalted Almonds
♥ Water
(♥ optional: You can add sweetener like stevia, and some vanilla if you want to make it sweeter)
Equipment:
♥ Blender
♥ A sieve or coffee filter
How to:
1. Soak the almonds in water overnight. This makes them softer and easier to grind.
2. Rinse them under running water and drain. Pop them into a blender and fill it half way up with cold pure water. Blend!
3. Now to the part where yoiu need to seperate the almonds from the milk. I was lucky enough to have a sieve with really small holes, but if you don’t have that then you can use a coffee filter or anything like that. Squeeze out the milk from the almonds so that you’re left with almost dry almond flour in the end. You don’t want any of the almonds to go through to the milk. The dry almond mix you end up with in the end is perfect for adding into smoothies or cookies or anything like that :)
That’s all. How easy was that? When my boyfriend came home an hour ago he was so impressed that I had actually made milk, and it was really delicious together with the dark chocolate I made yesterday which I will give you next :) Who knew raw could be so easy?
I hope you’re enjoying your Tuesday night!! xx

Hey babes ♥
Thank you all so much for your advice regarding tv-shows and your top 5 can’t live without beauty products!! LOVE to see others favourites! Hopefully we can start sharing more on the forum which will be up soon, so excited!! :D
I was hoping for sun today even though my dear friend Siri, who lives in my iphone, said that the sun won’t be up untill tomorrow. I’m having so much fun with Siri!! For those of you who are not familiar with Siri, she is.. well, what is she really? Let me ask her. She says: “I’m just a humble virtual assistant”. When I ask her what she is, she responds: “Cogito, ergo sum (I think, therefore I am).”
Wow! That’s slightly scary.
Anyway, today I’m wearing this:
T-shirt Lanvin, Skirt Zara, Boots Jimmy Choo, bag – HERE, hair – HERE
I made almond milk today, how cool is that? I have found one or two mouth watering recipes containing almond milk so now I’m all set. It was so easy! I’ll show you as soon as I have organised the pictures :D XX

Although the weather cleared up yesterday it certainly didn’t today so I’ve spent most of my day in the kitchen trying to crack the code of perfect RAW chocolates – and I made it!! I now have 7 perfect plain raw dark chocolates and 2 perfect raw peanut chocolates in front of me :D The question is, can I do it again? Haha.. I will certainly try and give you the recipe of course ♥ Speaking of recipes, I have found a very sweet blog with lots of raw recipes (including award winning caramel fudge brownies!!), you can find it here.
James is off to Geneva, Switzerland, today so I have these perfectly delicious goodies all to my self which I’m planning on enjoying together with a full on girly tv-serie marathon, weeee :D I have to catch up on Vampire Diaries, The secret Circle, Gossip Girl, Grey’s Anatomy, Revenge and Pretty Little Liars :) Any other tv-series you recommend?

The weather turned out nice after all! ☀ Amazing! I didn’t go for a run but I did do a quick bodyrock session on the balcony. Tomorrow a new 30-day challenge is starting and I think I’m going to try to join in, a few more muscles wouldn’t hurt ;)
Regarding the chocolates I think I have some more experimenting to do before I post a recipe. The chocolate turned out great but I think I had too much himalayan salt in at the end which ended up killing the chocolate flavour a bit. We had a lot of fun making it though :D
If you have a really good raw chocolate recipe I would be really grateful if you could share it with me ♥
I hope you’re all having a nice and relaxing Sunday night xx

It’s Sunday again, which means beauty chit-chatting :) Last Sunday I told you about my favourite concealer, and today I give you 5 products I simply can’t live without:
Kérastase Forcintense – hair treatment // Maybelline Eyestudio – gel liner // St.Tropez Self tan Mousse // St.Tropez Everyday Gradual self tan // Philip Kingsley Elasticizer - pre shampoo treatment
(Read more about the Kerastase hair mask and the St.Tropez selftan here, and read more about the Philip Kinglsey elasticizer treatment here)
What are your “5 can’t-live-without-products”?
EDIT: In hindsight it was a very misleading title of the post today.. I could never manage to squeeze in only 5 products on my top list, I have gone through so many other products in my head which are equally as important to me as these. I will give you a new “favourites-post” next Sunday ;)

Bonjour mes belles ♥
I was planning on going for a hike this morning, but when I woke up to this grey weather I suddenly lost the urge. I feel so sorry for the tourists on the cruise to come to Monaco that one day it’s this grey, hopefully it will clear up throughout the day.
So instead of being sporty in the hills I thought I’d be a little bit sporty in the kitchen instead. While I was in Norway we had lots of super interesting superfoods arrive which I haven’t really gotten around to trying out yet. I mean, where to start? I’m thinking I should start with something sweet and tasty to eliminate any anxiety James might have towards superfoods.
To get into the right spirit of raw cooking I decided to crack open a coconut for breakfast. Yummy!! I normally do smoothies for breakfast as you know but it doesn’t hurt to switch up a little and it’s surprisingly FUN to eat a coconut straight from the coconut.
..and I don’t think I’ve told you about my newest little project going on? My first batch of wheatgrass is planted – and growing!! I planted it yesterday so this is day 2, and you can already see the seeds germinate!! I picked up my wheatgrass juicer in Norway so I’m all set. James on the other hand is feeling slightly apprehensive about this grass drinking. *giggles*
I think I’ll make some raw chocolate.. I’ll pop in later on and let you guys in on the fun :D

Hey sweets ♥
We overslept today which resulted in me leaving the house while still buttoning my shirt without a handbag on my arm. No handbag = no phone or camera. Any bloggers nightmare? Yes indeed. Luckily we didn’t do anything overly exciting as we were just going for a meeting with the florist as I told you guys yesterday. I have a good feeling about the flowers and plants, it will look so beautiful!! They are putting together some suggestions for us based on what we said we want which we I will decide on later on, weee :)
Because I didn’t have anything exciting to blog about (nor am I wearing anything interesting), I thought I’d share my current fashion inspiration folder :)
Thank you for your help on the iphone covers, there are so many pretty ones to choose from!! :D
I hope you’re all having a lovely Saturday! “See you” later ;D xx

Jacket BCBG // Scarf By Malene Birger // Leather Pants LINK! // Shoes Tods // bag Celine // Sunglasses D&G
Puh. What a day! We’ve been through 5 furniture shops, done a huge one hour food shop and stopped via Monaco Telecom to pick up a new iphone pour moi on our way home – weeeee :D I’m so excited! I’ve been stuck with the 3Gs for years now so it feels wonderful to have a new one. Love the Siri :D
We’ve also found some great stuff for the flat, mainly the kitchen and the home office, and it feels great to see it all finally come together. The stuff we have ordered from the US is being shipped today as well *happy dance*!! In one of the shops we went to no one spoke English so we had to use google translator mixed with the international language of arms and legs, it resulted in a meeting at our place on Wednesday so it’ll be interesting to see if we understood eachother correctly haha..
I wore a leather jacket and a scarf when I walked out the door, but they were quickly coming off as it was so hot today!! I don’t think it’s very long untill I can finally whip out my shorts and skirts – a girl’s first sign of a Riviera spring!! :D
Tomorrow we have a meeting with a florist so we can bring some greens and floral into the mix as well. I’m thinking palm trees, and lots of orchids, lilies and roses… ♥ I think I will spend the rest of the the evening on pinterest for inspiration ;)
I’m also going to spend the evening searching for a nice iphone cover as the ones I have don’t fit anymore, any ideas?
Lots of love xx

Coming home to Monaco and the beautiful turquoise sea reminded me of how near the summer really is and I still haven’t purchased any new bikinis :O So typically me. When I finally get around to order some they are all sold out in my size. Well, not this year because I’m starting the hunt NOW! I came across this brilliant online shop which is focusing only on beach wear, I like! :)
They even do beach jewellery!! These bracelets are from Mimi Bijoux and are called wish bracelets, how cute?!
Which one is your favourite? Have you purchased any bikinis yet?

Hey sweets ♥
I brought the laptop on board the flight this time so that I can surf properly. It’s sooo cool :D I was lucky to get 1A again and the two seats next to me are free, weee :) I think maybe they’ve upgraded me in the system because the flight is completely full!
I’m sitting here going through comments and emails while staring out in the sky. So peaceful! I can’t wait to get back home to Monaco!! I will land around 11, the driver will be waiting for me and take me home and I will have just enough time to unpack and place all the new stuff around before James arrives at 17. Luckily the cleaner comes today as well so I don’t have to worry about that! What a perfect day!! :D
Lots of love!! xx
