overused symbol of life's brevity

Life, recently

Got to go to London before end of October

Big Georgia o'Keeffe exhibition at Tate Modern this year. Pic from where I used to live, shot day before yesterday with my new lens. I love taking pictures so much.

Wardrobe

I read this somewhere recently: If you only buy clothes that you feel are OK, then you'll end up with a closet of blah choices.

It struck a chord. I sometimes pretend I don't care so much about clothes but it's not true. I love clothes. Not all of them but some! It's ok to buy clothes you love. So much more ok than buying clothes that will just do.

I'll try to remember to post some of my wardrobe faves soon.
But first I need to work work work, sell our house and take care of myself, mom and Niki.
Above: Me an mom. I'm wearing new faves! Silk shirt and silk pants, both from Kerber.
They have a sample sale right now.

Favorite TV-character

I LOVE Constance Wu as Jessica in Fresh off the boat. Best comedienne ever. Timing, execution - all of it: immaculate.

PS. ALSO! if any of you know where she found this PERFECT GREEN VELVET dress that she wore to the Asian American Awards Unforgettable gala in 2015, let me know!!!

Best matched with: AWARD.

Selling our house in Sweden

Within a month, I will have moved three times. I need help!

Thankfully, Maja at my favorite moving company helped me set things up.

New instagram-feed

I started a new instafeed, for pics taken with a camera. 

it's here, come join:

The ridiculous name is me being Phoebe from Friends. Did you know I am sometimes her? I am. Involuntarily.

It went down like this: 

We had a friend over who was looking at a pic we've puy up on our wall. 

Our friend said: That's a great picture, where is that from? 

I tried to recall when exactly I'd taken it and if I took it with my phone or my camera and slowly replied:

"Oh...I took it...with my camera".
and it sounded so ridiculous we both started laughing really hard.

Ps. I don't even think I did. I think I took that one pic with my cell phone.

Word I hate

Tomboy. If you are a celebrity talking about your childhood, you were not a tomboy. You were a child.

Climbing trees, throwing rocks and running around aren't male characteristics, they are human characteristics often enjoyed freely in childhood. Thank you for reading and taking note, celebs reading this blog.

Being woman

Inside this person....

...there's always this person:

who we are, who we were, how much they are or aren't the same. And for those of us identifying as women  - our whole gender identity and the props that go with it. Not just for January Jones but for all of us.

From one childhood to another in 24 hrs

Left these in NYC...
