bohemian chic

We got nice weather to Austria too. It was yesterday possible to be outside in a light jacket or just a thick sweater :) Fra helped me out and we cleaned my whole apartment. We also went to IKEA to buy some boxes to put everything in order. In the afternoon we had a nice coffee in the centre of this small village where I live. When Fra went to the hairdresser's I decided to start my bohemian-chic-spring-inspiration going. I bought new sunglasses, a scarf with flowers and some earrings :) 

bör!

Love and other drugs is one of the most adorable movies I have ever seen. I love it. See it! I has even Fatboy Slim's Praise You, my favorite "oh-now everything is good-but-soon-something-bad-will-happen" song in movies. And no, it's not just a normal chick flick, it's so much more.

Triennale

As I mentioned in the previous post, the museums had a free entrance in Milan last weekend. Since the 900-museum's queue was unbearable we decided to spend Sunday afternoon at the Design Museum.

We visited the continuous exhibition with Italian design objects, everything from Dolce & Gabbana's tour clothes for Madonna to the Ape car and all kinds of chairs, shoes, tableware and paintings. My favourite thing in this exhibition was Bialettis first moka- espressomaker from 1933. I really liked the design.

One funny exhibition was FunCoolDesign™ by Joe Velluto. He had designed objects, of nice materials, without a function. The objects could have been anything and that was the fun of it, you got a lot of ideas watching them, but in reality they were just...objects. I liked the design of them and also how the exhibition was made.

The third exhibition we saw was called the Graphic Design Worlds. I like to watch graphic design, but the thing I least like on earth is to read bullshit about it, I mean analyses about why some text is as some text or some picture as it is and what is the deeper meaning of it. I love to watch greatly designed graphics but let's leave it there. And while walking around the exhibition (and skipping the analyses) I got really inspired. I saw many nice things :)

Committed to Milan

Under veckoslutet i Milano var det förbjudet att köra med bil inne i staden. Samtidigt var det gratis inträde till alla museer. Jag vet inte om dessa två faktorer hade någonting att göra med varandra men båda ansåg jag vara bra ideer. Jag hade inte varit i centrum på länge och ville köpa lite underkläder från La Rinascente så Fra och jag åkte metro till centrum. Medsamma ville jag se La Rinascentes aula som Fra designar nu beysningen till :)

It was not allowed to drive by car in the centre of Milan in the weekend. All the museums had also free entrance. I have no idea if these two things have anything to do with each other but I found both ideas quite good :) I hadn't been in the centre for a long time and as I needed some underwear from La Rinascente and at the same time I wanted to see the ground floor that Fra is designing the lighting for.

Nära Duomo och La Rinascente finns Höpli, min favorit bokbutik i Milano...och vad fann jag där ?! Jo någonting jag inte ens visste att eksisterade, nämligen en uppföljare till en av mina favoritböcker: Eat, Pray Love. Jag köpte boken genast och log ännu i timmar över mitt fynd :)

  

Next to Duomo and La Rinascente is Höpli, my favorite book store in the city. And what did I find there, a book I didn't even know that it existed: the sequel of Eat, Pray, Love! I bought it immediately and smiled for hours.

Vi ville besöka 900-museet men kön var jätte lång. Efter en stund märkte vi att den inte rörde ssig någonstans så vi åkte till Via Marghera med spårvagnen och åt en supergod glass i solen.

We wanted to visit the 900-museum but the queue was superlong. We noticed that it didn't move at all so we decided to go to Via Marghera by tram and enjoy a good gelato in the sun.

Gelateria Marghera är en god bas glassplats. Alla glassmaker är väldigt väldigt goda, priserna rimliga och designen på platsen är fin. Jag har några andra favoritplatser i Milano men Marghera finns nog i top 5. På vintertid minskar de en aning på glassmakerna och fyller vitrinen med efterrätter och chokladpraliner men nu märkte man att säsongen börjar eftersom glassen hade börjat ta över :)

Gelateria Marghera is a good basic icecream place, not only known for good icecream but also the delicious desserts.

Vitamins

One more thing that is amazing with spending the weekends in Italy- oranges! Fra's dad packed this box in my car before I drove back to Austria yesterday eve. They had so many boxes like this so he needed to get some of them away. Funny how someone's "problem" can be luxurious for others. I am at least superthankful as my mornings are now amazing, when I can make fresh juice from these... :)

+17, skönt så sjutton!

Ah, vilket veckoslut! Jag bestämde mig i perfekt tid att börja så småningom vårsäsongen eftersom veckoslutet i Milano var soligt och underbart. Vi hade till och med +17 grader varmt :) Solen gassade och det var underbart att ta en promenad i landsbygden samt äta en glass i solen :) Ett väldigt bra sätt att ladda energi till kommande arbetsvecka...!

Jag har begravningstid av mina vinterkläder. Skall använda alla svarta och gråa plagg än en gång före jag ställer dem i förråd och vänta på nästa vinter. I fötrra inlägget kan du se hurdana kläder jag drömmer om att få klä mig i om några veckor....för då börjar våren, tycker jag!

Saara's Spring

I wrote in the last post about my outfit, that I am now living in the funeral weeks of my winter clothes. I am so DONE with this season. I planned that after my trip to Barcelona I will start to wear spring clothes, no mather what. I don't care what the weather is outside, I really don't care. Welcome navy, stripes, contrasts, pastels, flower prints, ballerinas and trench coats. Goodbye blacks, greys, wool and thick scarves. Here is a preview of what I am dreaming of...

Stripes/ Navy with red contrast

Girly Florals

Pastels

I hope I could find something nice in the Spanish brands Mango, Massimo Dutti and Zara. At least their campaign pictures look promising...

Dagens Outfit

Päätin juuri, että Barcelonan matkan jälkeen alkaa sitten kevät. Ihan sama miltä tuolla ulkona näyttää, niin matkan jälkeen alan pukeutua värikkäisiin, kukkakuvioisiin, pastellinvärisiin, raidallisiin kevätvaatteisiin ja unohdan villapuserot, mustat, ja harmaat. Nämä muutamat viikot ovat siis talvivaatteitteni hautajaisaikaa. Kuten tämä tän päivän asu.

I was reading my everyday scoop at posh24.com and noticed that Gwyneth Paltrow is having an own web page with weekly newsletters. The site is called Goop. I found among others some interesting restaurant tips on Barcelona and a video about a good salad. Check it out if you are interested :)
