Cool Beach - Showroom and Mojitos

Everything from the name of the place, the location, the organizers up to the fashion sounds very promising, if I dare say so myself :)

I am proud to announce yet another Marbella beach night event, where you can see, touch and buy NIMO. items in Southern Spain.

While enjoying the "cool beach" breeze, you could be sipping countless mojitos (at least that's what I intend to do at some point), get the chance to score some of the amazing creations of Salima Abdel-Wahab - and complementing them with some NIMO. jewelry, of course :)

Don't miss out! See you on Saturday, August 21st at Cool Beach, xx

Life is Beachy

Hotel Dos Mares, Tarifa

Ever since we got back from our norwegian escape, I have spent my days around the pool and at the beach. The perfect locations for summer :) Another summer rite I have acquired is to spend the long summer nights in the garden, talking to my mom and/or Mikki making plans for the future. The future, oh well. I'll keep you updated as to where this adventure that life is, will take us from here. Here are some beachy pictures to keep the summer vibe going a little longer:

Refreshing Sangria at the beach

Moorish Roots at Tarifa, the southernmost city of Europe

Details of the Hurricane Hotel, Tarifa. Where I spent a good deal of my summers while growing up.

A not so sandy beach, the pebbles are small enough not to hurt and big enough to make them easy to clean off. - Bye bye sandy car :)

Way up North

Well hello there! Still remember me? I haven't forgotten about you, although it may seem so :) My excuse for not stopping by here in so long? I've been busy traveling and doing nothing. My two favorite pass-times ever!
The vacation in Norway was a-mazing. Not only was the landscape breathtaking, but Mikki's family was incredibly welcoming and we had an unforgettable time. The weather was perfect, very much like fall in Los Angeles or Marbella (Spain), where I'm currently at. We had days of sunshine and days of rain but it was never too hot or too cold.
Bodø lies north of the arctic circle, so during summer there is no such thing as "night time". During our stay the sun set for about an hour just to come back up again! It took some getting used to, but it was fun, too. I completely lost my sense of time. The equivalent in winter, when there is months of no real daylight, must be really depressing though.
We left Norway with a huge desire to come back again. I would love to explore the whole coast and spend summers in a little red hytte (a small wooden cottage) next to a lake.
Here are a few pictures, so you can get a glimpse. Enjoy, xx
