51 Reasons to Hate Stockholm
28, Sep 2011For once, it wasn’t me. Cue the song. I didn’t have anything to do with the Dagens Nyheter article called ’51 skäl att hata Stockholm’ – 51 things to hate Stockholm. Now I know I have written about what I hate about Sweden, more things to hate about Sweden, what I love/hate about Stockholm and [...]
Stockholm ColourLovers
5, Sep 2011If you are a color fanatic then ColourLovers is the best website ever. It’s porn who people who love paint swatches. While I was doing research, I decided to see how many lovers made color palettes called Stockholm. Boy, were there color palettes that attempted to describe the city. Story of a crime… Intruding into [...]
Last Day to Buy a Cheap(er) SL-Kort for the Metro

The Love Hate Relationship With Stockholm
19, May 2011I’ve come to the point in life where half the time I love Stockholm and half the time I hate Stockholm. Okay, maybe there are days when I hate Stockholm more than I love. But hey, no one said I was a lover not a hater. After nearly three years here, I’m finally making a [...]
Cost of Living in Stockholm
9, May 2011It’s pretty obvious that Stockholm is an expensive city. It’s the capital, the largest city in the country and the nordic region, and the “capital of Scandinavia.” But if you, like 24% of Swedes live in Stockholm county, you’re in for some serious spending and judicious savings. I thought I would break down my cost [...]
It’s Snowing in May
3, May 2011It snowed today in Stockholm. It is nice to have rain to wash away the dustbowl on the streets, but snow is a little extreme. Started in October and still going strong in May. Thanks Andrew for the photo. PS- And two weeks ago we were grilling!
Valborg 2011 in Stockholm
29, Apr 2011Valborg is the time of the year to banish the witches away and burn fires. Since the witches made it back from Blåkulla, April 30th is the day to really get rid of them once and welcome spring. Around Sweden and the Nordic region, people celebrate by having a champagne brunch, drink beer, eat food, [...]
Shoe shopping in Sweden
20, Jan 2011I enjoy shopping; like any woman. And not to brag, I am an awesome sale shopper. It’s my sixth sense; I know when, how, where sales are going to happen. I rarely buy at full price unless in desperate need (the one beautiful Burberry English Military jacket) but otherwise my prices are modest. Yes, you [...]
Yesterday a suicide bomber blew himself up on Drottningatan at the end of the shopping day in central Stockholm city. In what appears to be a terrorist attack, this marks the first terrorist attack in Stockholm in decades. Little information has been released except a letter sent minutes before the attack warning Sweden of its [...]
