This dress is so Grace Kelly/Cannes Riviera gone 2013. From the Nina Ricci resort-collection.

Pool water turned sparkly gem stones, so very tumblr-ish.

A wild bouquet one would pick on the countryside and a stringy chair one would sit on in the city. By my old favorite Le dans la.

And this apartment is insane! I would go live there in a second. Reminds me of this one.

The last days of July continue on in a swirl of pink and purple hues with it’s bright afternoons and warm evenings.

Waking up in a Le Corbusier house (photo by Mary Gaudin).

Going to the market really early (photo by Style Slicker).

And decorating a cake with paper bag-wrapped berries straight from the coutryside (photo by Mary Gaudin again).

That I would imagine to be quite a nice tuesday morning. All cuddled up in that late summer glow that only seem to occur when abroad.

I’m just washing some geraniums Karen Millen-style.

Stockholm through my camera. Also known as Scandinavias Paris.

Baking, cooking, shopping and enjoying the capital of Sweden royally even on rainy days.

And showing you all the places you’ll have to visit when in Stockholm.

I’m with blog! It’s not a transition from Lolitas though, to make it clear: I will continue to write here too. Come on – after 8 years I can’t just stop taking care of this soon to be teenager of a blog. I love Lolitas. But recently I’ve felt like taking more photos of my own, creating something that is more me and that reflects what happens in my everyday life more blog-wisely then Lolitas does. If Lolitas.se is a scrapbook of thoughts and dreams then My Beautiful Stockholm is a portal of realisation. It’s a journal that tells both my story and Stockholms. I hope you’ll come with me over there! And that we’ll see more of each other here as well. All the best! /Katarina

See you here! =

This looks like my rose bush! If it was ten times bigger…

These Eames chairs are growing on me. I’ve definitely read too many magazines.

Caramel and pink, not a bad color scheme.

And Kate Spade makes the sweetest summer outfits as usual.

Paris facade goes New York interior goes french pastry again and then girly print. I’d like it all in that order. Photos (not the Kate Spade one) are by Sandra Juto.

Glittering water and rebellious pine trees in Italy, Portofino.

Watermelon for breakfast on hibiscus-prints.

And cherries in the afternoon.

This bag would be perfect for strolls when it’s not too hot outside.

And dinners by old, handmade windows.

Mary Gaudin takes the loveliest photos I think. Here I put together some kind of Italy series but there are plenty of places to swoon over right here in her flickr.

Pastels combined with colored snake skin and playful applications att Stella McCartney s-14…

…and this OCD-friendly jewellery stand from Arbor.

I could fit at least 3 things in there. Or just wear the whole thing as a jewellery…

Just a couple of things that would cheer up a morning routine any day now!

Blurry, humid, soft days in the sun, somewhere that’s warm enough to make you forget that your feets really hurt. That’s the perfect spot I think.

Back in Stockholm.. And as July rolls on there’s still plenty of time for summery dresses, the smell of blossoming citrus trees and sour lemonade in the hot hours of the day. I would go for just about any dress by Reformation in the meanwhile, but this one would perhaps be a favorite (if I had to choose I mean!).
