Simply me, a Swede in LA

It's so simple to be wise. Just think of something stupid to say and then don't say it.

Just one more...


Ok, so we all know she's almost lost her voice and can't speak at the moment but can she not see??? Why the hell would you wear a blouse that makes you look like a balloon, and about ten times you actual size???
I just...well...I mean...WHY????

Be right back...

Something really strange happened last night and it really freaked me out. I was laying in bed reading and suppenly the room started spinning,
my throat closed up and my body started shaking violently.

I'm still not feeling so well so I'll be back soon.

It must be water and cigarettes...

How else would Jennifer Love Hewitt go from this to this in 2 weeks??? I mean, my goodness...

Vintage find!


I just have to show this beauty! Ok, it's not your everyday dress but when I saw it hanging there in my favourite vintage store in Hollywood, I just couldn't resist the wonderful blue colour, the fall of the skirt and the lace top *love*!

You asked for it...

So you guys have been bugging me (j/k!) about pics from my latest finds and now I finally got my camera so here they are, don't be afraid to give your opinion!

Love the black and white and adore the Peter Pan collar! Very 60's


What can I say, pockets are my thing


Cute little find from a couple of days ago, purple polkadot with a tie in the back and puff sleeves (I'm a sucker for puff sleeves), will look sooo adorable with a little cardigan and boots or ballerinas this fall

Falls first sweaterdress! Beautiful charcoal grey with a cowlneck, puff sleeves (told ya!) and a really cute belt

Gorgeous classy midnightblue silkdress with almost invisible navy pokladots, little ruffles and covered buttons that you can button all the way up the neck or leave open like in the pic. Oh, did I mention it has puff sleeves ;) ?

I wrote about this one yesterday but you wanted ot see it on so here it is!


This one I bought for my birthday, it's 100% silk and you can never have too many red dresses and backless is just beautiful to me!

I finally got my own Princess-dress but unfortunately it's quite big on me :(


This little striped number totally reminds me of Rachel Bilsons dress that she wore in the beginning of summer

Lace bubble-dress, love at first sight!

And of course, let's not forget the shoes:
Really wonderful (and sooo comfartable and soft) dark brown boots and the cutest ballerinas!

I just love him...

Yesterday me and my husband broke down and laughed so hard we started crying! It's so wonderful being with someone who you can just laugh with :)

Happy Birthday Rach!

Yesterday was Rachel Bilson's 25th b-day *yay*

And isn't she cute?

Enter: The Dark Side


Who knew? I never thought the eternal blonde would go dark...

Where's Rachel when you need her?


Ok, so we all know that Lindsay really can't put an outfit together without Rachel Zoe at hand but those shoes?!? I mean, come on people! The first thing that comes to mind is my grandfather's dress shoes (Don't take it the wrong way Gramps, they look great on you), but on La Lohan? *yuck*

Update: I actually think that it might be the same shoes that she wore with yet another horrific outfit back in May. You are not allowed to make the same mistake twice with the same little piece of fashion disaster!!! Oh yeah, and the leather shorts are Chanel btw, can you believe it???

Urban Outfitters shopping



Today I went shopping and found this little gorgeous dress at Urban Outfitters! It was just too cute to resist, I love the pattern and the little bow by the neck. I also tried on this hat that I've been looking at for a while but it was a litlle bigger that I expected, hmmm... I'll have to think about it.

I also went to Forever 21, one of my favourite stores, and I will post pics of my finds from there later :)

Mohahahaha!!!


So freakin' funny! Paris, Nicole, La Lohan and the Olsen twins saving the world...

Note: If you look up to any of the Hollywood it-girls and are so sensitive that you can't joke about them; Please look at this link and tell me what you think :)

Project Runway


Tonight I'll be watching another episode of Project Runway, waiting to hear 3 little words: Vincent, you're out.

HE...NEEDS...TO...GO!!!


Pics: Bravo

K-fed is a man of few surprises...


Anyone who has read my previous post on Kevin "y'alls think-I-can-rap-white-trash-homeboy" Federline know that I'm not a fan of his (tahn again, he doesn't actually have fans now does he?) And you know what? Kevin really met everyones expectations at the Teen Choice Awards, meaning he absolutely sucked ass!!!

He performed hit "new hit song" (from his yet no-show album), "Lose Control" but really, the only thing he made me lose control over were my bowels *yuck*
Apparently he also just started his own record company and I think he's gonna be the first artist to manage the incredible act of being dropped by his own label (believe me, it will happen!)
His video is coming out on Sept 5th...yay... Have a bucket nearby if you're actually planning on watching it.

For those of you who missed the disaster (performance) see it here.

Aaaand he's a goner ladies and gentlemen...


That's right, Brandon "Superman" Routh is now engaged to his sweetheart Courtney Ford of which he once said "She's my kryptonite" Aaawww....

It's mine!!!


Those of you who read my Fall guide will remember that one of my dream items for this season would be this gorgeous backless Marc Jacobs dress and after trying it on, how could I possibly resist any longer, it's mine!

Yup, you guessed it!

Internet has been down again...

La Lohan "powdreing" her nose again?


Linday has admitted using cocaine before and this is the secon time in 2 days that I've seen pictures with her and that kind of little bag in the room and she's always looking stoned in pics nowadays, her eyes just look so empty...

Good thing her mom is such a great rolemodel...ahem!

Mr. President...


George W Bush, everybody has an opinion about him. I remember the first time I heard his name in 1998, while he was still governer in Texas and there was a woman, Karla Faye Tucker convicted of murder and sentenced to death. While in her death-cell, she found God, got baptised and pleaded for mercy, she had a huge support-group including several bishops, priests, civilians and even the Pope himself begged Bush to grant her mercy and turn her death-sentence into lifetime in prison instead; Bush's answer: "Nope"!

Shortly after that, Karla was killed by injections.
I remember shivering, unwilling to believe that someone could be that cold and heartless.

Now that he's president I can't help but feeling terrified over that man having so much power. He acts like a child, eager to prove to his dad that he's a man, and that he can finish what his dad started.

With that said, here's a little bit of what I think represents ou president, enjoy!

Keep it real!

Told you he's still a child...

Say what now??

Maybe this guy should have been president instead....

Now do you believe that smoking pot when you're young leaves it mark for life?

I've seen that hair before!

Yup, she's already out with a new video, and while her last one "Deja vu" included her boyfriend Jay Z and she was grinding him all over, in this one seems she literally seems pissed off! I'm not sure about the song... it'll prob catch on like most of her songs do after a while.

Meanwhile, in both videos she's had her hair put up high, it really just makes me think of Whitney Houston in the mid 90's....

I've seen that dress before!

Click on the link and scroll down a litte bit to see Hilary's new video "Play with Fire", doesn't her dress look a lot like the dress Gina G wore in the 1996 Eurovision Song Contest?

ANTM 7


I know, I'm a total sucker for these kind of shows but it's time again people, Americas Next Top Model 7 premieres on Wed on the new channel CW (UPN and WB are coming together).
Now Wednesday nights will be my TV-night, first ANTM and then
Project Runway *yay*

Sephora



For my birthday I got a gift-certificate at Sephora which I (of course) was excited to use! The difficult part is standing in front of all those products and trying to narrow it down, I mean, I literally wanted to get half the store! Anyway, after about 45 mins I decided on two products:

Laura Mercier Liquid Crystal Lip Glace in the color Pink Quartz

and Smashbox Photo Finish Foundation Primer SPF 15.

I'm really excited to try out both products and I was also curious about this one. Has anyone tried it? In that case; reviews please :)

If I were to wear a jumpsuit...




...I would totally wear Nicoles grey and white little cute number!
And I would absolutely NOT wear Jessicas black thing.
Doesn't it seem like she has been dipping in to Mariah Carey's wardrobe lately? You know, barely enough fabric to cover the essentials? *Eeeeewwww*

Ok, just one last kick-her-while-she's-down on Jess:
What the hell are you doing??? That's not sexy dude...

Weeeell, that was a complete waste...


Tonight while watching the season finale of The Simple Life: 'Til Death Do Us Part, I established two things:

1. Paris and Nic can't act worth shit, too bad they're both getting a career in it and I'm not

2. If I ever think about wasting 30 mins of my life on something like this again, somebody needs to kick me!!!

Gorgeous but fake!



So these are the new pics for Jessica's shoe ads and she looks stunning! But... wait a sec, that's not how she looked last time I saw her....


Uuum...Can you say retouch?

Sample sale: Barneys


Today it was rise and shine pretty early for me to make it to this weeks sample sale! Barneys New York had set up in one of the hangars down by Santa Monica Airport, and I can tell you, it was packed! Around 800 men and women fighting over Louboutins, Dolce & Gabbana, Diane von Furstenberg, Marc Jacobs and more! I tried on the most beautiful LBD by D&G, a purple lace DvF and several pairs of shoes including some Manolos and the cutest red Louboutins with a chiffon bow. Highlight of the day has still got to be the nude-colored chiffon gown with a huge black bow by Lanvin that I tried on, obviously way too fancy for someone who doesn't go to black-tie events very often (not to mention it cost over $3000), but still, sooo beautiful!

Unfortunately, the prices were a tad over my budget after all the summer shopping I've done so I had to leave empty-handed but it was fun to be there and I'm definately going to the next one as well :)

If you say so....


Finally somebody has supposedly caught baby Suri on camera, and sure, if you try really really hard you can see that there's a baby in there, but honestly, by now it could be any adopted baby that looks enough like TomKat so that they can say she's actually biologically theirs.
Well, I still have my doubts...

Apparently, there's also a list of rules for the few visitors, who according to the invite, are "honored" to meet TomKats precious little girl.
The rules include: No touching, no pictures and no babytalk.
Geez! Just get off your freakin' high horses and treat your baby like a baby and your friends like friends!

The dress


Me and Kate Bosworth have the same dress! And she also has the beautiful Chloe-shoes I've been looking at since last fall....

My bad.....


...Vics still has short hair. No wait, that's her bad!
Turns out the long-haired pics were taken before she took out the extensions and then broadcasted over the world the day after her haircut to confuse people, thanks a lot dude...

KJL again...

Ok, just so you guys know, if you'd like to make a request about the KJL jewelry, you're gonna have to email me, I've tried to keep track of of y'alls email addresses but it is just sooo much easier and clearer if you email me.

No, I'm not trying to climb up on a higher horse than you but if you really want to be sure to get in contact with me, it really is the best way, alright :)

Email: la-sweden@hotmail.com

Just...no!



Ok, so we all know there are two fashioncamps, Camp Mary-Kate and Camp Ashley, and I admit I've always been on Ashleys side cause I think she's got a more classic, cool style. MK:s style might have worked last summer when the whole boho-chic thing was happening but now it's definately time for this girl to run a freakin' comb thru her hair when she leaves the house!
Girlfriend seriously looks like she went out partying for 72 hours, got two hours of sleep, rolled out of bed and accessoriesed! Not a good look if you're going to a fancy place such as Chateau Marmont...
I've got two tips for MK for the next time she's thinking about walking out her door looking like Courtney Love's long lost daughter who's been living on the street for 12 years:

1. The bag does not make the outfit!
2. Other people have to look at you too!

Now, be a good girl and go home and take a shower....

Tonight's outfit

Since I don't have my camera yet (yes, still!) I'll just tell you what I wore out when me and my husband when out for dinner and a drink at a Persian restaurant tonight (God, Persian food is sooo delicious!)

-Marc Jacobs "Floating Blossoms" dress, you'll see the pretty details better on this one.
-Black patent flats
-Black quilted bag with chain handle

Pics: Steve Madden, Ebay

Why, oh why???



You know what? Piercings can look really good if they match the persons attitude and personality. Now, I'm not sure who Scarlett is trying to be but I don't think this nose ring suits her AT ALL!
For f*cks sake miss if-I-get-a-nose-ring-maybe-people-will-notice-me-again-cause-
nobody-has-even-mentioned-me-since-Isaac-Mizrahi-sqeezed-my-boobs-at-the Golden-Globes, take the ring out!
