Outdoor tip

For those cold summer nights it´s good to have some nice and warm blankets for your guests, so why not have them available outside in a basket so they can help themselves whenever they get cold? It´s a nice gesture for your guests, and it looks good on the terrace as well. Outdoor tip of the day!

I am Nature_SIH

A very good friend of mine Silje Holst ( no, not family ) is making all these beautiful posters these days, and one of my favorites “I am Nature” have now moved into our bedroom. I love the title, but most of all I like the motif of the mystical girl that´s blending/fading into nature… There are many ways to interpret this, and that´s what makes this poster so interesting.

Silje has a lot of nice posters, so you should check out her website Siljeholst.com for more of her posters.

…and while talking about beauty; here you see all my favorite beauty products on a large tray in our bedroom. They are too beautiful to hide behind doors, but also very
convenient to have readily available.

Summer table setting

What can be better than starting the week with having wonderful girls over for lunch on a Monday? It definitely give you a boost for the rest of the week : )

Since it´s summer I was hoping to set the table outside in the sun, but the weather was a bit unstable, so I made a summery table in our living room instead. I went for a simple white and green theme, and used white Astilbe from the garden as flowers, together with soft green linen napkins. To make a contrast I used my slate serving plates for the cutlery. I also served the salad, bread and aioli in wooden bowls to add warmth and to make it less formal. With the colorful Chicken salad I served, the table got some hints of colors as well…

Chicken salad with walnuts

Here are the ingredients in the CHICKEN SALAD I served:

  • A mix of green salad
  • Chicken fillet
  • Spinach
  • Beetroot
  • Cherry tomatoes
  • Snow peas
  • Red onions
  • Pomegranate
  • Honey glazed walnuts
  • Chevre ( I had this on the side as one of the guest was pregnant )
  • Olive oil
  • Salt/Pepper

Bread and aioli on the side.

Yes, I will admit it – I love travelling! And with travelling comes great memories, and one way I can both remind myself of these memories and have it look good on my wall as well is to get my favorite spots in the world printed as posters.

To get these prints made, I am using the website Mapiful that lets me easily choose any location in the world and get it printed on a poster in a variety of sizes. This time I chose, not surprisingly, Los Angeles and Barcelona. Los Angeles will forever have a special place in my heart for the fantastic 1,5 years I lived there, and since this where Stylizimo actually got started.

Los Angeles

As for Barcelona, I was fortunate to get a trip there this spring from my fiancé and thanks to the fantastic suggestions and tips from you readers I got to experience the city from a completely different angle. This makes Barcelona one of my favorite cities to visit, which is why I had to have a beautiful print of it on my wall. I have a feeling I don´t need many glances on this before I have my next trip booked *smile*.

Do you have a favorite city? Or maybe you have a city that you are dreaming of visiting? If so, getting a poster of it on your wall is a great reminder for you to get the dream realized. And what is even better is that you now and until the 4th of July can get 10% of your order. Just use the voucher code stylizimo10 when you shop!

Mapiful is also offering free worldwide shipping for all orders over $60, so whether you are reading this sitting in Los Angeles or Ulaanbaatar in Mongolia (thank you for visiting my blog) you can have your prints delivered – for free.

I hope you will find something you like, and if you do please share it on Instagram using the hashtag #mapiful so I can see what you have done with your map!
