Kom alldeles för sent till en prisceremonifest i Soho igår kväll, men det fanns fortfarande massor av vin och hors d’oeuvres kvar och det är ju nästan det viktigaste ibland. Idag är jag underbart ledig, synd bara att dagen måste spenderas med att flytta och rensa förråd. Blä.

/// blusen är så gammal att jag inte alls minss var den är ifrån, byxor från Tommy Hilfiger, mitt nya second hand halsband, skor från Vagabond ///

Came very late to an awards ceremony party in Soho last night. But there were still plenty of wine and hors d’oeuvres left and that’s almost the most important thing sometimes. Today I am off work, too bad the day has to be moving and cleaning out storage. Yuck.

/// the blouse is so old I have no idea where it’s from, pants from Tommy Hilfiger, my new second hand necklace, shoes from Vagabond ///

Fyra dagar kändes som en evighet denna vecka, men imorgon är jag äntligen ledig. Underbart. Hoppas kunna åka iväg nånstans i helgen, känns som det är dags att komma från den kokande staden ett tag.

TRANSLATION:
Four days felt like an eternity this week, but tomorrow I am finally off. Lovely. Hoping to be able to go somewhere this weekend, feels like it’s time to get out of this boiling city for a bit.

Igår kväll begav vi oss till det här stället i Bushwick. Mys-rustikt i sjaskigt område med väldigt nice cocktailmeny där allt testades. En kryddstark gurk/mojito-aktig var min favvis. Ikväll blir det mysmiddag innan ännu en helg fylld av lägenhetsorganiserande och låduppackande. xo

Yesterday we ventured out to this place in Bushwick. Cozy-rustic in a barren neighborhood with a very nice cocktail menu. We tested pretty much everything. A spicy cucumber/mojito-ish one was my fave. Tonight is cozy dinner for two before yet another weekend of apartment organizing and box-unpacking begins. xo

Var på en helt soldrivet event igår. På det här stället. Det var regn på G hela dagen, så det blev en lite slapp outfit. Och visst började dropparna falla precis när jag var framme vid ingången. Solpanelerna funkade ändå.

Went to an event entirely powered by solar yesterday. At this place. There was rain in the air all day, so I went with a very casual outfit. And sure enough, right as I reached the entrance, the rain started coming down. The solar panels still worked.

Went to a party thrown by one of SATC’s costume designers, and figured I just had to dress it up a bit with sparkles. There was champagne galore, luckily I am off work for all of four days now. Soooo nice! Memorial Day weekend, here I come.

Thought my pretty Mad Men-inspired vintage dress would be put to use today. (I have to show you more pics of it soon.) It’s really not a New York dress though, completely non-stretchy which means I have to walk slower — no like!

Today: vintage Guess dress bought in Portland, necklaces from South Africa/grandma, watch from DKNY.

Dagens: stickad tunika från Spring + Mercer, tights från American Apparel, second-hand jacka från Screaming Mimi’s, vintageskärp, vintagearmband, skor från H&M, sammetsväska från vintagebutik i Miami.

Went to a lecture at Scandinavia House on Park Avenue today. The title was “A Blaze in the Northern Sky” and the topic Norwegian Black Metal. A bit outside the ordinary for me. The journalist who moderated the discussion was very unprepared, so what should have been an hour-long lecture went on for almost two and a half. With us via Skype were a few Norwegian Black Metal legends (who I had never heard of). The last one on the shaky Skype-connection was a nice young man by the name Gaahl, front man for the band Gorgoroth, who is not only a satanist who has done prison-time for torture, but also a vegetarian an has relatively recently come out of the closet. Talk about paradox. I leaned against M’s shoulder every now and then and was at one point accused by the moderator of sitting there and sleeping. These rebels dressed in black, so tough yet so human and insecure deep inside…

Today: knit tunic from Spring + Mercer, tights from American Apparel, second hand jacket from Screaming Mimi’s, vintage belt, vintage bracelets, ballet flats from H&M, velvet bag from a vintage store in Miami.
