Christmas has come to London

A bit to early really, but then I cant help loving christmas. I love the cosiness when thousands of candles are lit, I love the gingerbread, the food and the sweets. And I love the decorations, all the red and golden colors  everywhere. And I love spending spending time getting ready for it all, all the baking and decorating, maybe not so much the big christmas house clean but as I listen to christmas melodies all the time not even cleaning is too bad... I makes me miss home a little bit, luckily I have an extra little family over here which is brilliant, even if it still isn't our cosy lovely house...  

This one is from John Lewis I think. We were there yesterday when Emla came for a quick visit. Neither she or the tree mad me miss home any less ;) It is not bad, and we had a brilliant time yesterday, so don't pity me at all! It was awesome to have her here, it would have been even better with Victor, but then you can never have it all, can you? Ill see him for christmas, hope he recognizes me....

What a great weekend!

On wednesday Johanna arrived! My fellow London-Swede from Stoby måleri AB. We have had Italian dinners and a tiny bit of room hunting (she is way too lucky, got a room on her first day here, what is the odds of that happening!?) Feels great, unfortunately she escaped the camera but I managed to document some other things from the awesome weekend... 

...as this pic of Kate and Lyd as we were having dinner down by the thames. Lovely food and I cant complain about the view either:  

  

just amazing.

Also this weekend we went to Brick lane and Shoreditch for some shopping. A 2nd hand winter coat was the plan. But as you all know things never go as planned so I ended up with an 80's jacket (yes, with shoulder pads!) and a fake pearl necklace. Not the one in the picture below though, that one I just snapped cus it locked so nice on the roe deer and gives you a sense of what the Swedish place fika is all about :) 

Tomorrow more brilliant things are happening, Emla is coming for a quick visit, will be great! 

I am such a geek!

Ja! Ja! Ja! Ja! JA!

Ok, so I'm not running a fashion blog...

But please have a look anyway. As all my friends know I love kids and I like to keep up with what organizations such as childhood and UNICEF does at the moment. And right now UNICEF and H&M have teamed up and are running the campaign all for children.  All for children primarily aims to help children who are forced to work on cotton fields in India. To give the food, medical care and education. 

The collection may be a bit limited but very cute, and as I know that a few of my readers have children I want to urge you to have a look and spread the message on your own blogs! 

See? cute, right? AND for a good cause, go shop mamas n papas!
