KIZZ

Sitting in Stockholm, lunching with a bottle of wine, of course, and simply people watching.  What are the chances you are sitting next to people from Los Angeles?  (The style in Stureplan is unparalled by the way!)  I agreed to bet my friend, hoping that the people next to us were not from the US...

 Obviously, I lost!... Are you a child of the 80's? Yeah Yeah, he's not an original member of KIZZ, but I still should have known.  I asked where my friend, the one and only Gene Simmons was (another possible BBD??), but he was sleeping in his hotel room.  Too much partying I suppose? LOL

They gave me free tickets for their show that weekend, and I wish I could have stayed in Stockholm a lil longer, I definitely would have checked out the show!   

The Bigger, Better, Deal.

The BBD my fellow travellers, is something you NEED to know. This is something I will mention quite a bit. It doesn't matter whether it's a purse, shoes, clothes, food, a party, A MAN, there is always a BBD.  Every woman should always be looking for a Bigger, Better, Deal.  Here is what I mean..

Is it really bad to be a slave for the BBD?  Well, it's a fact that it will get you ANYTHING you want if played properly.  So what do you think?  It's brutal.  But fun as hell!  And, if you are a slave to fashion, and vanity, totally worth it!!  I enjoy chasing it.  Not sure what it is that I'm chasing, other than a purse, shoes, clothes, food, a party...  But it's definitely not a job!  It may take some work, but it is always a lot of fun!  LMAO. Well, I'll get back to you when I figure out what it is that I'm ACTUALLY looking for. I'm starting to believe this is why my theme song goes something like, in the immortal words of Mick Jagger (the ultimate BBD), this...: ❝I can't get no, SATISFACTION..❞

But I must add, my little princess makes me smile like no other. There really is no Bigger, Better, Deal than that.

Lazy Daisy Summer Days..

I haven't been keeping in touch with you lately. These lovely summer days take up all my precious time. A new day, a new lake. Cheers... :)

Louis Vuitton

I simply couldn't resist. Got a little key chain to go with it... How cute is this....? 

Pontus by the Sea/Timo Raisanen

Pontus by the Sea, definitely one of my favorite spots in Stockholm. A nice place, right by the water with a wonderful view of the city, and the food is just YUM! I had lobster, crab, oysters and veal. Topped it off with a nice bottle of Rose. The perfect summer wine.

I also ran into Timo Raisanen there, an up and coming rockstar over here in little Sweden. Such a nice guy! About an hour later, he played a concert for Swedish Independence Day and was really good, rocked the stage like no other! Absolutely going to get his new album The Anatomy of Timo Raisanen. So should you! ;)

  

High School Partying the Swedish Way

The high school graduations are in full swing over here in Sweden. We have this crazy tradition that after graduation you pile into a truck or car loaded with beer and champagne and go on a ride through town, for hours and hours. But, it seems to me this tradition has gotten a little out of hand in the last few years.. When I graduated, sure I drank champagne on the truck but check out these pictures...

Crowds/parents gathering in downtown Stockholm to watch and cheer their kids into their new adult life...

Ride no 1...

Ride no 2...

Ride no 3...

Ride no 4...

Ride no 5...

LOOK AT THE BEER POURING OUT OF THE BACK OF THIS TRUCK!

It was NOT raining in Sweden on this day! The entire city of Stockholm stunk of beer. EW. But hey, their parents must be proud! Congrats kids, you made it through High School. See you in Hangover City! Cheers!

Hangover City

Revisited Hangover City today!!  Not one of my favorite hot spots, but I seem to keep coming back...  Went to Södermalm last night, definitely the center of the friendly and hip. So much FUN!  Got this cute little black dress from one of my favorite designers, fillippa k. http://www.filippa-k.com/.  Had to go show it off!!  Now, leaving Hangover City and off to Pontus by the Sea for seafood and wine.  Cheers!

I heart Stockholm..

.... I think.... I returned to this wonderous city of high fashion and beautiful people with hopes of fun, fashion and a new Louis Vuitton purse.  Sadly, the beautiful people don't seem to know how to have a good time....! I met some GREAT ones, had a fabulous time, but the fashionable beautiful people are mostly BORING!  Really makes me miss and appreciate the Cali carefree attitude...!  To the beautiful people of Stockholm, laughter, love, smiles and dance make a soul happy!!  As does as new Louis Vuitton purse..    

All packed!

I'm ready to go! Once again my bags are packed... I think we should play a game,  guess where I'm going this time... ;)
