MY PRESS DAYS

HÀr kommer en riktig bildBOMB frÄn pressdagarna som Àgde rum för prick en vecka sedan, för att vara exakt. Pressdagarna Àr tvÄ dagar dÄ de flesta mode- och livsstilsorienterade pr-agenturerna i stan öppnar sina dörrar för alla i mediabranschen för att networka och visa upp sina klienters kommande kollektioner. Vanligtvis Àr dessa extremt vÀrdefulla men vÀldigt uttröttande dagar för nÄgon som mig. Jag tÀnker att det kanske Àr lite kul för er att se vad jag gör nÀr jag inte sitter framför min laptop pÄ kontoret, sÄ dÀrför dokumenterade jag det hela. HÀng med!

Here’s a bunch of pictures from the press days that took place exactly a week ago. The press days are two days when most fashion and lifestyle-oriented PR agencies open their doors to everyone in the media industry to network and to showcase their clients’ upcoming collections. Usually these are extremely valuable but very intense days for someone like me!

Av erfarenhet hade jag bantat ner vÄrt schema till endast mina absoluta favorit-agenturer för att minimera mÀngden stress. Vi började med K-mb, som bland annat tar hand om The North Face och Vans!

From experience, I had focused our schedule on my favorite agencies to minimize the amount of stress. We started with K-mb, which for example represents The North Face and Vans!

Bejb var med som support (iförd jacka frÄn the Cords and Co, byxor och skor frÄn Acne)

Sean came with me as support (wearing jacket from the Cords and Co, pants and shoes from Acne)

Den nystartade agenturen Heroes and Heroines höll hus vÀgg i vÀgg med K-mb.

The new agency Heroes and Heroines had their showroom next to K-mb.

De har en skön blandning av mode, konst och plantor, och brukar servera himla god mat till sina besökare. Detta var inget undantag.

They have a nice mix of fashion, art and plants, and they usually serve seriously good food to their visitors. This day was no exception.

Som vanligt var det svÄrt för mig att lÄta bli att prova varenda hatt jag sÄg.

I’m always having a hard time resisting trying every hat I pass by on my head, haha.

… och för Sean var det svĂ„rt att lĂ„ta bli att smaka varje kaka han sĂ„g. Hehe.

… And Sean always have a hard time resisting trying every cake, haha.

Efter massa bra snack promenerade vi vidare. Jag hade pÄ mig favvokappan frÄn Bristol, favvoskorna frÄn Camper och favvobrallorna frÄn Acne.

After a lot of good mingling we continued our little tour. I was wearing my favorite coat from Bristol, favorite shoes from Camper and favorite pants from Acne.

Dagens andra stopp var Silk!

The second stop of the day was Silk!

Efter att har kikat pĂ„ och pratat om bland annat Levi’s, ASOS, Urbanears och Uniqlos kommande kollektionen var jag sĂ„hĂ€r pepp!

After looking at and talking about Levi’s, ASOS, Urbanears and Uniqlos’s upcoming collections, I was this excited!

I Blackbird Berlin’s showroom förĂ€lskade jag mig totalt i MAIAMI, som gör de finaste handstickade tröjorna jag sett pĂ„ lĂ€nge.

I totally fell in love with MIAMI, making the finest hand-knitted sweaters I’ve seen in a long time, when we visited Blackbird Berlin’s showroom.

Dagens sista agentur var favoriten Bold! De lyckas alltid fÄ till sÄ himla hÀrlig stÀmning i sitt showroom, av nÄgon anledning brukar alla stressade mediamÀnniskar stanna upp och hÀnga hÀr, trots att lokalen Àr sÄ liten att man oftast fÄr chilla pÄ gatan utanför.

The last agency-visit of the day was Bold! They always have a really nice atmosphere in their showroom, even though it’s a pretty small space people always end up staying for a long time here, just hanging out.

Efter ett bra möte fyllde vi magarna med koreansk sojakorv….

After a nice meeting, we filled our stomaches with korean soy hot-dogs…

…innan vi cyklade vidare mot dagens sista stopp….

…before we biked to the last stop of the day….

NĂ€mligen en fest för glasögonmĂ€rket Komono’s senaste kollektion! I Ă€rlighetens namn tycker jag oftast att det Ă€r trevligare att hĂ€nga runt pĂ„ agenturerna och titta pĂ„ fina klĂ€der Ă€n att mingla till hög musik pĂ„ cocktail-events, haha, sĂ„ efter en liten stund rullade vi hemĂ„t, GLADA och nöjda med sĂ€songens pressdagar. Somnade som en sten sĂ„ fort jag lagt lill-huvvet pĂ„ kudden.

A celebration for the brand Komono’s new collection! Honestly, I usually think it’s nicer to hang out at the agencies and look at nice clothes than trying to mingle in loud music at crowded cocktail events, haha, so after a pretty short while we headed home, happy and pleased with the press days of the season. Fell asleep the second I put my head on the pillow that night.

LET’S ROLL

Hur mÄr ni? Har en kombinerad kontors- och hemmafixardag idag. Varvar bildredigering med att plantera en leverans nya vÀxter i trÀdgÄrden och att prov-mÄla den ljusgrÄ nyansen vi till slut valt till dörrar och sÀngram hÀr hemma. Under tiden tÀnkte jag visa er min go-to-jacka just nu, anvÀnder denna mer eller mindre dagligen. Tycker alltid att övergÄngen frÄn varma vinterjackor till sommarklÀder Àr knepig, men hÀr har vi det perfekta mellantinget. Fin va?

How are you? I’m having a combined office and home-decorating day today, keeping myself busy with image editing, planting a delivery of new plants in the garden and test-painting the light gray shade we finally chose for our doors and bed frames. Meanwhile, I just want to show you my go-to-jacket right now, I use it more or less every day. Sometimes I think the transition from warm winter jackets to summer clothes is tricky, but here we have the perfect compromise. Nice, huh?

WEEKLY UPDATE- PRESS DAYS, SCARFACE AND PROJECTS

3… 2…. 1…. weekly update! LĂ„t oss kika pĂ„ vad som hĂ€nde förra veckan:

3…2…1… weekly update! Let’s have a look at what I did last week:

Förra veckan hade jag tusen bollar i luften. MĂ„nga olika fotouppdrag skulle plĂ„tas, och Ă€ven om det kĂ€ndes lite stressigt kan man inte annat Ă€n att kĂ€nna sig SÅ inspirerad av det hĂ€rliga foto-vĂ€dret som erbjuder allt frĂ„n morgondis, skarp sol, skugg-effekter och gyllene kvĂ€llsljus. #blessed

Last week was a really busy week. We had a bunch of photo assignments to shoot, and though it felt a little stressful, I was so so inspired by the beautiful photo-weather we have this time of the year. We get to play with everything from morning fog, sharp sunshine, shadow effects and golden evening light without having to freeze for a second. #blessed

Tre personer som satte guldkant pÄ lÄnga jobbdagar med sin nÀrvaro.

Three people who added a silver lining to my long working days.

Slutet av veckan Àgnades Ät pressdagarna! Kameran fick följa med oss runt sÄ jag tÀnkte berÀtta mer om dem i ett egen inlÀgg senare i veckan. Efter sista agentur-besöket avrundade vi alltsammans med Jenny och David pÄ en lanseringsfest i vÄra hoods. Det var sÄ varmt ute att jag hade linne pÄ mig Ànda fram tills elva dÄ vi strosade hemÄt.

Thursday and Friday was the press days here in Berlin. I brought the camera around so I’m going to write more about that in a separate post later this week. After the last agency visit, we rounded it all up with together with Jenny and David at a launch party in our hoods. It was so warm outside that I could wear my tank top without jacket until eleven, when we strolled home.

Sedan kom helgen! PĂ„ lördagskvĂ€llen gick vi pĂ„ fest med ledorden: 1988, Miami och glam-disco. Genialiskt tema. Tony hjĂ€lpte oss att styla fantastiska 80’s-frillor a lĂĄ Michele Pfeiffer och Scarface (SÅ dĂ„lig bild, haha, men tro mig nĂ€r jag sĂ€ger att vi kĂ€nde oss 100% top notch).

And then the weekend came! On Saturday night we went to a party with the theme: 1988, Miami and Glam Disco. Tony helped us with making amazing 80’s hairstyles a lĂĄ Michele Pfeiffer and Scarface (SOoo bad picture, haha, but at least we felt 100% top notch).

Söndagen kom och jag spenderade dagen med projektet jag nÀmnde igÄr. FÄr fortfarande inte avslöja för mycket, men bilderna ovan kan nog ge er en hint om vad det hela handlar om.

The sunday came and I spent the day with the project I mentioned yesterday. Still can’t reveal too much, but the pictures above may give you a hint of what it’s all about.

Avslutningsvis var vi nĂ„gra som avslutade en sjukt inspirerande och hĂ€ndelserik vecka med pizza och bĂ€rs vid kanalen. NJÖT fullt ut.

Finally, some friends and I finished the very inspiring and busy week with music, pizza and beer by the water. Couldn’t have had a better evening.

Hoppas ni mĂ„r bra, buddies. Jag kĂ€nner mig glad i hĂ„gen men fortfarande helt fokuserad pĂ„ allt jobb, Ă€ven denna vecka ser nĂ€mligen ut att bli riktigt intensiv. Let’s do this!!

Hope you’re good, buddies. I feel happy and excited but still completely focused on all the work coming up, this week seems to turn out just as intense as last week. Let’s do this!!

MY TOP 5 BEAUTY PRODUCTS RIGHT NOW


 (shirt from Weekday, earrings from COS)

Goof Proof Brow Pencil, 03 medium, Benefit Cosmetics.
There’s no doubt that Benefit are one of the leading brands when it comes to perfect brows. This pencil has the perfect color (I never thought I’d need a light shade like this, but since I started using neutral eyebrow colors instead of the black and dark brown I used before, my face looks much “softer and natural”). I also use this little fella for making freckles, since the nuance turned out to be perfect for that too.

Liquid eyeliner, black, & Other Stories.
Making eyeliner wing has never been this easy! I love the rick black color and the short felt tip. The downside is that it runs out quite quickly, but then again, if you return the empty product to the store you’ll get a discount on your next eyeliner.

Shimmer stick, “starstruck”, Fenty Beauty.
A perfect highlighter to use on cheekbones, eyelids, nose, lips… everywhere! It gives a really nice shiny glow instead of the artificial glittery effect many other highlighters have.

Wax and Moulding paste from Maria Nila’s Mineral Collection.
The recent weeks I’ve discovered hair wax. I’ve never really liked using wax ever before, but suddenly I use it almost every day! It just makes the hair so easy to work with, and gives it a nice careless finish. These two are both from Maria Nila’s new Mineral collection, they are both based on natural vegan ingredients and doesn’t give that heavy, oily look some other waxes might give.

Hej kompisar! PÄ sistone har jag upptÀckt en hel del nya produkter i Beauty-vÀg, som pÄ riktigt Àndrat min rutin en hel del. Det blir alltid sÄ mycket roligare att lÀgga tid pÄ sin styling nÀr man har nya element att leka med, sÄ jag ville bara dela med mig lite av min beauty-pepp till er genom att STARKT rekommendera dessa pÀrlor. Har ni nÄgra favoritprodukter att tipsa om?

Recently, I’ve discovered a lot of new Beauty products which really changed my routine a lot. It’s always so much more fun to spend time on styling when you have new products to play with, so I just wanted to share some of my beauty discoveries with you, by STRONGLY recommending these fellas. Do you have any favorite products to share with me?

AN OLD FRIEND


 Dress- Esprit (adlink), shoes- G star.

Ni kÀnner vÀl igen gamle Ville? Han som synts pÄ bilder dÄ och dÄ under hela min lÄnga bloggkarriÀr, och som de senaste Ären rest runt i Europa med mamma och pappa. Han har blivit gammal och stel och klarar bara av att gÄ korta distanser (vanligtvis skjutsas han runt i sin kÀrra under promenader), men han har fortfarande samma pigga, uppmÀrksamma ögon och tycker fortfarande om att pussas. Ah, jag blir alldeles mjuk och blödig bara av att skriva om honom, haha.
(Jobbar pÄ frÄn hemmakontoret idag! Förhoppningsvis hinner vi förbi klÀtter-hallen innan vi avslutar dagen med ett litet mingel senare ikvÀll. Hoppas ni mÄr bra!)

Do you recognize old Ville? My baby dog who has been featured on my pictures occasionally throughout my long blog career, and who in recent years has been traveling around Europe with mom and dad. He has grown old and stiff and have problems walking long distances (usually, he rides around in his little trolley), but he still has the same intellegent, expressive eyes and he still loves to kiss. Aw, I get all warm and soft just by writing about him, haha.
(I’ll be working from the office the biggest part of the day today, hopefully we’ll have time to visit the climbing hall before we finish the day with a little mingle later tonight. Hope you guys are fine!)
