What are you going to choose for this years Halloween party? Uniforms, movie characters, something creepy, something sweet? There are so many options nowadays for halloween costumes and so easy to find them online, in shops or even improvise something. Last year I attended to a private party in Stockholm and my choice was a sexy-creepy nurse costume. The party is organized every year by the coolest Fredrika Johnson in Grand Hotel Saltsjöbaden. Scary Naughty Halloween! Actually, the nurse costume was a last minute option I had, since I wasn’t so much into the party mood (I had a cold). But my friend Adina was visiting so I couldn’t resist her. And sheeee had such an amazing maid  costume!! Continue reading →

Soo soo happy with a big “H”!! Thursday are coming some of my friends to visit me in Stockholm!! It’s a big deal, since all my friends from Romania are avoiding Scandinavia because of the cold weather rumors that are surrounding this region. Well, I prepared a whole schedule for all their weekend in Stockholm, in order to make sure they will have a lot of fun, enjoy the city with all the obvious interesting things in it and hopefully they will return soon!!
I arranged a table in the most exclusive club in Stockholm on friday, V-Wall by Sturecompagniet, preceded by a delicious dinner in their restaurant Grand Escalier, and for saturday evening I plan on taking them to one of my favorite places Nosh and Chow, which is a restaurant/bar/lounge concept with reaaaally good food and amazing atmosphere! The daytimes we will spend them shopping, walking around the beautiful streets of Stockholm and so much more! I will come back with pictures!!

Until then,

With love from Stockholm,

Lorellay

CHANEL N°5 commercial: The one that I want

This commercial got me crazy, made me live inside it and explore the feelings of the woman in it: in this case the amazing Gisele Bundchen. The soundtrack is a cover after The one that I want (Grease), and my opinion is that it sounds much, much better this version! Can’t believe that Chanel succeeded to turn such a classic song into a sexy soundtrack! I wasn’t such a big fan of Gisele or of Chanel N°5 fragrance, but this clip made me have second thoughts and rethink my perfume choices. Can a fragrance define who you are? Can a successful clip influence choices? Well, of course it can. That is what I call successful marketing! And Chanel might have the recipes to that, according to me. Some time ago I posted another incredible clip Made by Chanel here.

The clip is all about luxury, style, love, beauty and glamour. Enjoy watching it!

I love researching and find the best Iphone apps. These genius guys that have invented the smartphones and gave the possibility to other creators to invent all kind of apps, they actually saved our lives. While many people are judging us – those addicted to their phones –  for not being involved in the “real life” , others may say: “I have a real life, but I prefer making it easier.” Some apps they actually make my life better, easier, more fun and more interesting.  Here are the top 10 apps that I love and use constantly, excepting of course, the usual social media apps like Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest etc… Continue reading →

Today in Sweden is Kanelbullens Dag or Cinnamon Rolls Day, a very loved and delicious holiday for the swedes! That’s why I thought, why not share my very own kanelbullar recipe? Kanelbullar are part of the “fika” tradition in every day lives of swedish people, but in this particular day you`ll find them everywhere around Sweden, in coffee shops, pastry shops, supermarkets, even in small food trucks. Certainly, this is a day where the smell of the warm baked cinnamon buns and coffee is all over the place! The tradition is quite new among swedes, existing since 1999.

And to celebrate this day like a swede, I baked myself some. My cinnamon rolls recipe or kanelbullar recipe is simple, little bit adapted to my own rules, because I don`t like spending time in the kitchen so I always try to find the short way or improvise. 😀 Because all my friends loves them and I always promise I`ll give the recipe but I end up forgetting, I decided is a good moment to write my cinnamon buns recipe here! I proudly have to say that many swedes have actually praised my buns! 🙂

Kanelbullar recept / Cinnamon rolls recipe

Ingredients

  • 250 gr butter
  • 2.5 dl milk
  • 1.2 kg white wheat
  • 2 tsp. ground cardamom
  • 50 gr dry yeast
  • 4 tbsp Vanilkessela (in Sweden) or vanilla fat yoghurt
  • 1 egg
  • much cinnamon – I always improvise
  • 200 gr sugar
  • some oliveoil
  • pearl sugar and crushed almonds for decoration

Preparation

In my kanelbullar recept you`ll have to follow these steps:

  1. Warm up the milk to the body temperature (37 C) and add 150 gr of the butter, mixing until it melts and becomes smooth.
  2. Mix in a big bowl: 1.1 kg wheat with the cardamom, 100 gr sugar, the dry yeast, 1 tsp salt and 1 spoon of oil.
  3. Add the milk & butter warm content over, and start to knead, adding slowly each spoon of vanilla yoghurt. That should make the dough softer. You can add wheat in case you may need. The dough should`t be too hard, nor too soft.
  4. Let it grow 30 min in a warm room or in the oven with warm air at 30 degrees C.
  5. Meanwhile, melt down 100 gr butter with 2 spoons of oil and mix it until smooth.
  6. When the dough is ready, spread it in 2 parts, take the first part and stretch with the roller it into a rectangle, add melted butter on all the surface, sprinkle a layer of sugar, then a layer of cinnamon, and last I add some more vanilla sugar. As you prefer.. Then you roll it into a tube, and cut slices of 2, 3 cm.. With this kanelbullar recept you`ll have around 35 buns. If you feel it`s too small, you can roll one slice over another. You decide! Then you do the same with the other part of dough.

7. Lay them on oven paper and let them grow 30 minutes more. Then when you feel they look big enough, put some egg wash over them and the decorations and put them 8 minutes in the preheated oven at 210 – 220 C. Depends on your oven. Mine is too strong so I let them in 205 for 10 min.

And that was my very own kanelbullar recept which it became so long even though I tried to shorten it… People tell my I speak much, apparently now I also write much 🙂

Cinnamon Rolls work perfectly with fresh homemade almond milk or coffee. Don`t eat too many, since they are full of calories. To me it`s a pleasure smelling them, inviting my friends to them, but when it comes to eating… I strongly resist eating more than 1! If you want to make it and you have any questions, just write me here and I`ll help.

Mykonos is a beautiful and cosmopolitan greek island located in the Cyclades. The island is very small, around 85 square meters and very compact. In the main town, Chora, are living around 10.000 people only, and most of them are moving out every year after the season is closing. The major industry on the island is tourism, and Mykonos is very well knows for it’s parties, nightclubs, beach parties and luxury lifestyle, being compare with Ibiza (Ibiza of Greece). Weather in Mykonos is perfect all summer, but the winds are very powerful on the island, reason why it’s called “The island of winds”.

Hidden designers – Customized Furniture and Chic Home Deco

This week I found something really artistic and functional! A subject that really preoccupies me is home decorations.  I remember I saw once in a club one piece of chair-statue-chandelier that really impressed me. Funny thing that night is that I had a similar dress as the statue so I made a picture. Here you see:

Since then, I`ve searched everywhere a similar lamp for my living room, because it is eccentric enough to give a fresh air to my house which is pretty much black and white. All the home decorations are so minimal nowadays. This week, I discovered this new brand from London, called Jimmie Martin, which produces – or better said customize old furniture with unique design models. They create these amazing home decorations shaped as real human bodies. Behind the brand is Jimmie Karlsson and Martin Nihlmar, two young Swedish designers, who, despite the fact that they don`t actually have a background in interior or furniture design, they did a great job with this new baroque – contemporary style. In their work they use Graffitti themes, works of art like paintings made by themselves, and even pictures with Audrey Hepburn on some chairs. The materials are spectacular and definitely would give a modern luxury feeling to your house. I think they are very chic, modern and beside that they are a work of art and catchy for the eyes, they are also functional. I will definitely purchase one of the statues-lamps, when available, and maybe some other stuff that they produce. Even their cushions are really, really cool! In the meantime, take a look on the pictures to understand what I`m talking about. These home decorations are sooo lovable!!
