Pinup

Today I had the worst hair day so I tried a few hair styles and ended up looking quite retro.






It took like ten minutes but looks like I've been to a hairdresser. Very 40's pinup girl, I love it!

Bitchy comment of the day

A woman just said to her friend (who's holding a dress she wants to buy):

"That won't fit you. I'd look better in it."

With friends like that, who needs enemies?

THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO SHOWED UP AND MADE IT A NIGHT TO REMEMBER!

Out of service

The store is closed today due to a nasty cold. See you tomorrow!

I DO

If you have plans to get married this year you HAVE TO check out Ida Sjöstedts amazing couture collection. It's super affordable and beyond beautiful.

See more at her blog.

It's all good in the neighbourhood

Phew, I struggled to spell that last word.. thanks google translate!

Anyways! Remember how I've been such a good girl lately? Well, it's all coming back to me. Yesterday, after that horrible rain storm the sun came out and I got to see the most amazing double rainbow (and no, I reacted in no way like that crazy man) and the sun kept shining down on me all the way home. It was lovely.

Today is just the nicest day. I got a visit from the woman who got her wallet back yesterday. She was so happy that I had helpt her out she went ahead and brought me a gift! It was a bag of Indian chai-tea and a beautiful tea strainer. Thank you Carina!

Got an email from Lasse, me (my?) and Marley's all-time favorite postman who's recently retired. Turns out he reads this blog. HEJ LASSE! Vi saknar dig!

It's all a chain of good deeds; it started this week with me giving the poor man lots of bottles and in return he gave me the wallet (instead of maybe keeping it himself). Then I gave the owner her wallet back and she gave me tea. Tomorrow I gotta get something to the homeless man to close this circle.. don't know what though..

"OH MY GOD. It's so vibrant! What does this MEAN???"

Well...

Maybe it's hard to tell, but it's raining cats and dogs here. And I have no customers :CCC let's call it a day and close this place early.

I was sporting my new green 60's style coat on my way to work, but it didn't photograph well (I looked preggers) but I'll give it another shot before heading back home. 
Oh yeah, here's my favorite song of the day.

KARMA

Last week I donated our entire collection of recyclables to the homeless man who scours through Västerlånggatan in search of bottles and cans. He was very thankful (I think. He can't really speak but he grunted and smiled) and I was happy I could make a good deed.

Today he shouted at me from the entrance door because he had found a wallet in the trash can outside, and he wanted me to have it. When I opened it I saw the ID and that it belonged to an employee of the Parliament, so I googled her up and gave her a call and she came running in, beyond happy. Turns out she was pick-pocketed when out on a lunch break earlier today. Sucks! But at least she got everything back, apart from cash, which -of course- had been stolen already.

Cell phones, wallets, cans.. I'm like Gamla Stan's own guardian angel! Haha!

Look of yesterday

This is what I looked like before I went all sporty and ran that 5 K race. As you can tell I lived to tell about  it! Not only did I survive, but I actually managed to get around at a fairly decent 32 minutes. Not too shabby for this Lazy Loca.Fake leather tights: BerschkaSilk top: vintageLace tunic: HMWatch: CasioBoots: Vagabond
When I posted the last photo of Sporty Spice it reminded me of someone.... can you see the resemblance? LOL!

Eye of the tiger

Maybe by this time tomorrow you will have read the news that a seemingly healthy 25 year old collapsed during a 5 K run in Stockholm.
Emma Loca's gone Sporty Spice! We'll see if I live to tell how it went..

Song of the day: Din mamma

Browsed through some old playlist this morning and stumbled upon this song, my favorite one from last year.
I had forgotten how much I loved/love it. Somehow it almost made me cry today?!?! I blame my hormones, haha!

Oh hell no!!

The perv was at the shop again, despite me threatening to castrate him (uhm.. that was the underlying meaning, I just threatened with the cops) if he ever came back.
Thankfully there was lots of other people and he left shortly after entering. I'm not easily scared but this man freaks me out.
Why can't he understand that I have no interest in seeing his little penis?

Polished look

Since a couple months back I've been obsessing over sparkly things. Anything golden, silver or sparkly will do. Especially on fingernails. Or shoes. I'm gonna call it 'tacky nouveau'.



But now I've kinda lost my mind and started obsessing with orange and tangerine colors. Great for summertime and a cinnamon tan. Surprisingly easy to match with any colors; think hot pink, yellow and kelly green. And metallic accessories! That's my approach to the colorful trend of SS11.

Song of the day: Caribbean girl

Chill lounge music on a chill Friday. The video is crap, just listen and enjoy.

Hot 'n cold (still not Katy Perry)

You gotta love Stockholm and the change of the seasons.
3 weeks ago we had summer heat, 2 weeks ago we got snow, one week ago it was chilly and today it's almost summer again.

A few days ago I wore this and froze my ass off

Today I'm celebrating the sun in this tropical dress

love the back

Two regulars just came in and said I looked like a cut-out from a caribbean travel ad. Haha! I don't mind that.

Today's song: Crazy for you

Listen carefully to this song, so you really appreciate what she's singing, and the way she's singing it. Adele is truly one of a kind!

My kind of day

Today I got a visit from Sofie and her two pugs; Nova & Mumma. I adore them!

you gotta sit down and take a deep breath before play time

then you gotta find your buddy

there was some fighting

some meddling from 'mom'

..and then some pouting..

Furry baby

Marley, the cutest thing to ever walk on four legs.

I spot spotify

There are three things that have improved my quality of life in the past few years, and they're spelled: iPhone, facebook and spotify.

Now for all you other spotify users out there I want to share my favorite playlists of the moment:

Funk / soul / disco

Motown, northern soul och sånt

New chill & warm sunset sounds

And, of course, Emma Loca's very own compliation of the best of the best! Get it here.
