My idol Li

I´m in Stockholm right now to visit a lecture by the icon in trend forecast, Li Edelkoort. I try to see her whenever she´s in Sweden and tomorrow it´s time again for an inspiration injection. Li is the founder of the trendbureau, Trend Union and for some time now she´s had a website, Trend Tablet, open for everyone to see some of her work. I know I´ve written about this before but she´s so great it´s worth repeating.

Icon women of all ages

I have a thing for strong women. They inspire me. It can be old glamouros moviestars, pioneering artists or just strong and beautiful women in general. Women that have had a mind of their own, done their thing no matter what and expressed themselfs in some way. I´m sure we all have icons and here are some of mine;

Iris Apfel, the New York fasionista with a style of her own

Marilyn Monroe

Audery Hepburn

Louise Borgeois, my favorite artist of all time

Jane Birkin, how many women have a bag named after her...

Sophia Loren

Frida Kahlo

Anouk Aimee, great actress

and the fabulous artist Gae Aulenti.

A pick me up fix

When I came home today our whole garden was like a huge mud hole, at least 3 meters deep. It was not a pretty sight... So I need something that can bring a smile to my face; yellow!

Garden obsession

For the last month we have spent most of our time in the garden. Not making it nicer, we have taken down everything, flower, trees you name it, around the house so we can get some drainage work done. So, today the dumper and excavator arrived. It will be a mess for the next couple of weeks... Therefor I´ve been looking for inspiration for the future dream garden. What do you think makes the perfect outdoor space?

Neon pop

I´ve told myself never to say never... With all trends, there is always a time of suspicion before one get use to the idea of something new entering your life. My teenage years were spent in the 80´s so of course neon have crossed my path before but not even then we were friends. So, emegine my surprise when I suddenly find myself buying a pair of bright neon pink socks and then long for a neon yellow bracelet.

What is happening? I´ve seen it in fashion for a while. Disliked it at first and then craved it. So what will happen with neon in interior? It´s poping up here and there, and I´m sure we will see more of it. I never think it will become a large mainstream trend but I can promise you that a neon vase, some artwork or maybe just a little string of neon straped around a chair will be seen soon in my house.
