A request
I saw these shoes in the Swedish fashion magazine “Damernas Värld” (eng. Ladies World – it is much better than ELLE). They are from Edit & Ella and I want them so bad, but I have no idea where to buy them. I think this is a Danish company.
This is my prescious bag. It was [...]

GRANIT bag
At home, in my moms appartment, is where my sister and I hang out when we have nothing better to do – even if neither one of us lives there anymore. Sometimes it’s all three of us (my dad lives in Zürich), sometimes it’s just me and my sister. Today it’s only me.
Anyway, today when I came [...]
