One more baby related post... it is obvious what catches my attention these days! At Rörstarandsgatan in Stockholm there is a sweet shop with baby and children's wear called Milla Milano. Above some photos from the owner's news blog - worth checking out not least for the beautiful pictures of her daughter in clothes from the shop.

Sasha's gifts






My daughter Sasha was born in the beginning of August. There are no words to describe how happy and proud we are and how amazing she is. We have received an incredible amount of beautiful, fun, smart, useful gifts from our friends and family. Sasha is surrounded by such generous and sweet people - from my dear friend Mikael in Paris who made sure Sasha stared her life in style by going crazy at Baby Dior - to my mother who spent innumerable hours knitting exquisite dresses, hats, blankets, cardigans, socks etc.

It's been raining all day in Stockholm. Mimmi, Karl and I are spending a couple of weeks house-sitting my mother's place. This is one of my favourite spots in the world and I've posted about it before here.

Chanel Resort 2010






It must have been a fantastic experience for those invited to the Chanel Resort 2010 show. Karl Lagerfeld had chosen the small island Lido just outside of Venice for the occasion. The light is extraordinary. And the clothes. And the hair and makeup. Magical. Images Style.com

Milan apartment






A Milanese apartment set within the owner's family's converted country house. The parents decided that their family home, where lighting designer Pier Lorenzo Salvone and his siblings grew up, had become too much for them. The solution was to convert the house into three apartments: one for them, and one each for the two sons. Pier, who initially studied architecture, designed the transformation. Opening up and filling the house with light, he created a balance with the surrounding countryside. From Living Etc
