In a week me and P are going for some well deserved vacation to Brighton for three days. Do you have any tips on what to do/see/eat/drink/shop/etc? I want them all!

What I'm wearing in 10 years
I have two new favorites that I feel like I could wear forever and ever. It's a pair of grey Nike Pegasus '83 and a pair of vintage Levis jeans that fits perfectly. Both the sneakers and the jeans are so comfy. The jeans are so comfy that I actually fell asleep wearing them the other day!
Working in retail with vintage and second hand clothing has definitely got me thinking about how much stuff we buy just to wear it a couple of times before we through it away. An average of 163 kilos of textiles is purchased every hour in a medium Swedish city. Do we need that? The answer is no. Therefor I got a new rule; can I see myself wearing the item in 10 years? That means it has to be both classic and of good quality.
I'm also trying to buy more eco friendly beauty products, as this wash and lotion from H&M Conscious.
Look how green it is outside our kitchen window now! Today I'm off since I've been working the whole weekend. So far I've had breakfast and been to a Pilates class. Left to do is grocery shopping, then I'm just gonna do nothing for the rest of the day! Or wait, I'm going to watch Beyonce's Lemonade.

Havana Blues
Silk nightgown, vintage | Day & Night Serum, No7 | Citrus Hand Cream, Jurlique | Havana Blues Body Mist, & Other Stories | Notebook, COS | Bowl, made by me
Today I found the fragrance I've been looking for all my life and I'm not even joking. Last couple of years I've been getting more and more sensitive to different smells (maybe since I stopped smoking on a regular basis?) and therefor I find most perfumes too heavy. Add to that that I've always liked mens perfumes better then the sweet, fruity ones on the womens shelves. The Havana Blues Body Mist from & Other Stories smells of "Dry tobacco leaves withering among beloved jasmine and ripe lemon" and is simply perfect. P:s first reaction was "I can use this" so I guess I either have to hide it or start stocking up on them.

Hilda, Ludde, Kim & Kanye
This Wednesday these two landed on Gatwick and headed uptown to my job. When I finished we dragged their huge bag through the park and met up with P who had just finished work himself.
After some beers at home we walked down to Tonkotsu to have ramen and more beer.
Then followed a sort of pub crawl from Hackney Central to Clapton via BTW, Klub Trop, Clapton Hart and back again. And mums reading this, that's just an occasional cigarett.
At Clapton Hart we randomly bumped into Jacob and his friend and had a fussball tournament.
Then all the bars closed except Biddle Bros just opposite our flat so that's where we had our last beer before heading home to inflate the air mattress for our guests while drunk and watching the last episode of Swedish master chef.
Next morning after breakfast we took the tube west to Baker street.
We had somewhere to go, but first – second breakfast.
This was where we were heading – Madame Tussauds. Unfortunately we weren't the only ones with the same idea.
Britney <333.
Don't even remember who this was.
Mandatory selfie with Kim and Kanye.
And family photos with BB8.
Bffs.
Afterwards I bought these post cards and we headed for the nearest pub, before we headed home to have a tapas fiesta and movie night.
The next day I had to work but P took our guests on a tourist boat cruise on the Thames to Greenwich and then I met them for dinner at Jones & Brothers in Dalston to celebrate Ludde's birthday in the evening. Then I catched a cold for the thousand time this winter, so now I'm in bed feeling sorry for myself while Hilda and Ludde are heading home again. Thanks for a great couple of days <3.
