Fall Food

Recipes from here, here, here, and here.

I feel like I'm really getting into the Autumn mood whole heartedly. From obsessing over the crisp gorgeous weather, smiling at every colorful leaf I see, getting my boots polished, and stocking up on hearty recipes to cozy up to. These four look especially yummy!

Here in Stockholm there is already a chill in the air. It really is Fall and I love it!

Let's steer clear of the Monday Blues today.

Amazing how much you can express with so few brush strokes, lines and colors.

Glasses

I've had glasses since the 2nd grade (I couldn't see the chalkboard), but I just started wearing them 24/7 these past 3 years. I love my glasses, they are big, nerdy, sexy and red. Love! Sometimes though, I get a little annoyed with always having them on my face. They get grease marks so easily, get sweaty and foggy and they hide my pretty eye make up. But seeing a gorgeous photo like this makes me change my mind and fall right back in love with my gorgeous glasses.

p.s. I'm in Oslo, Norway with a friend! woo hoo! Follow me on instagram for the mean while. @emmakisstina

I love absolutely everything and anything to do with this collection by Alice + Olivia. The pastel colors, the feminine shapes, the simple styling! If I woke up one morning to find a closet full of these clothes I'd be a very happy girlie.

Please come true!

 Goodness me, what a sophisticated young lady I was. :)

This ring is very EmmaKisstina don't you think?

Fall

I'm so glad Fall is just around the corner. It may have creeped up as my new favorite season. I would have said Summer before, but this Summer in Stockholm was a major disappointment. It was non existent for the most part (it rained and rained and rained, blah.) Spring is just muddy and nasty. Winter is nice for the first month or the first snow storm... but then the excitement wears off after a few horribly frigid months, and many falls on ice slicks.

So yeah Fall is just perfect. The weather is just crisp enough to allow cozy sweaters, scarves and mittens (but you're not freezing your butt off.) I also think it's a really sexy sophisticated season. You may be covered up, but tall boots and sweater dresses, dark lipsticks and nail colors, and many coffee dates are just really sexy. Not to mention cozying up by the fireplace (if you have one... we don't, blah).

All in all, I'm really excited for Fall!

WIMB

I love doing my What's in my Bag Matchbook collaboration each month. I love that I get to dream up the stylish, iconic, defining items of lots of interesting and sophisticated historical or fictional Ladies and Gentleman. Now I've put them all in one place to be admired, on Pinterest... They all look so lovely together. Don't you think?
