Vintagemässan and Vintage lover

Waiting for some excitement in Stockholm and finally it came this weekend! Since I heard about it weeks ago I have been looking forward to go to the “Vintage Fair” event. First I thought it was going to in an open air area with space and room for many many shops. Sat. I went a bit late (1.30 PM) and the line was already long. Half way and 20 min later I gave up. Seeing people inside in closed space I know my companion wouldn’t last half an hour. Although he meant well but I know I better off coming early and alone. Sunday agenda started with pancake (fastest breakfast I ever did on Sunday!) and I’m off to Hornstull. Got there about 20 to 12 (open time) and I was in a line exactly where I left yesterday. At least I was the first 100 people to get in. Got a goodies bag which only few things I’m happy about. That is buy 4 cupcakes pay for only 2 at Stockholm cupcake and bottle of body oil.

The event took place in this pub/bar under the bridge by the park. It was about maybe 60 stores and all of them are filled with great vintage clothes. Overcoats seem to be most popular item and follow by other falls/autumn clothes. Got to see many beautiful garments and delicate beauty of the vintage clothes. Things weren’t so cheap but worth looking around. Some good quality goodies for those who like vintage without digging and pocket full of cash. It’s a very nice experience without buying anything. Especially seeing the people who like the same style as I do. Not a shopping event for me but still I really did enjoy it.

Day is still young and it’s Sunday. Still time to hit the flea market in town and lets the boys took the house. Maybe there’s something more for me there ;) and yes there is. Check out my Wardrob Trunk to see what I got today.

Sat. line to get in (2 pm)

Believe in yourself n all your dreams

Been having super fun and busy with my friends from Thailand. It's their first time in Sweden and I would like them to experience it in unforgetable way. We see so many things, many ideas, and many inspiration and most of all we got to spend fabulous fun time together again.

When they first joking about coming to visit me I never thought the day will come. And a month ago they call me and said "we are going to see you!" I was so happy and exciting ! 

Truth is I believe your dreams can come true if you work hard enough and believe in yourself. I made it here, my friends made it here... If you want to make it somewhere, you better push it now.

By the way, my friends are the owner/designer of one of the chic(est) boutique in Bangkok, One Hidden Agenda And they are here to find new inspiration for their new collections. Keep an eye on it !

You will be amaze what we found here for next collection. Stay tuned !

Fortune n Future

Life isn't always working  out as planed. And it sure makes you upset but don't let it ruin your life for long. There's always other way to get to where we want to go. Some might takes longer road, some might be a little more hassle. Solutions will come with patient and consciousness.

And yes my plan for my future got a little complicated. Will not be so easy but at least I still can get it.

I decided to make my own fortune today. And hopw destiny will guide me into good direction. You are of what you make and I will not let others run it for me. So I made "Fortune Cookies" to to make it clear !

Have I told you guys I love cooking !

They don't look so good but sure future taste sweet !

Old town n old friend

There's a reason why the old town is so charming. . . because it captures the essence of history and the rich story of every single bricks. Like an old friends, no matter how far apart are you or how long you haven't see each others there's always a string that will pull you back together. Walking down the old memories and seeing them grow to be special people in your life.

Since I move here 2 of my very old friends' career path brings them to Stockholm and we got to share the lives and hopes and dreams. I didn't get a chance to meet them much in BKK because of all the work and city chaos. But it was a very nice to fall back to the same warmth feeling we used to have and be able to speak our hearts to someone you can trust.

I have a lot of friends thus I only have a few great friends and couple best friends. I know that they will be there for me everywhere I go.
