If I had a few hundred euros to spare, I will most probably buy this apartment in Sweden. It’s spacious, it’s cozy and it’s white! Maybe styling (by Jessica Clayton) and photography (by Mikael Axelsson) have a lot to do with it but I’m really smitten with  this pretty nest. Via Mikael.

I haven’t eaten carbs in three weeks, and as a treat to myself for being such a good girl, I passed by Tous le Jours today and bought me some baked goodies. Tous les Jours is a French Asian Bakery that just opened its first Philippine branch in SM North. I swear I was salivating […]
