Things that happen when others wear Kerber

Jenny Strömstedt breaks down over typhoon Fittow (English readers - that is the Swedish equivalent of a typhoon named Cuntow.)

Working in Union Square

Am beside myself with gratitude for getting to live in this city, to sit outside in October, to get to work just writing.

Overheard in New York

What happens when you have to finance your living by living with people you can't stand

Woman on phone: "The whole apartment smells of dirty clothes and cheap perfume. You know, smells just like her."

----

Everything bad is good for you

Woman talking to three friends: "I can cross any street without danger. I have such phenomenal peripheral vision. I think it's from working in bars for so long."

----

But for what do you need them? And how will you feed them? Please leash them.

Man on phone: "Hi, I need 30-40 really large black dogs."

Lake blouse, fatale pants = comfort & bliss

Here with Vanja. My mom just bought a load of Kerber too so soon we'll be three generations wearing the brand. Vanja's a bit small still, though.

KERBER WEBSHOP NOW OPEN

And they start it off with a great sale.

First day of school

Wishing I had worn my Kerber comfy pants instead

Did not wear Kerber pants here. As a result, was restricted in my climbing to the top.
Wore Lake blouse though. Always something.

Advertising my favorite brand.

The one time in my life I was on a luxury boat

I wore Kerber, naturally.

Dressed to walk the high line.

Tailored dress, perfect for going out to dinner. So comfortable and dressy. 

Met up with friends at Spice Market and then walked the High Line. Such a wonderful NYC night. 

Can't believe I get to live this life

My dream life is such a cliche, but who cares, today I feel like I'm living it. 

Sitting at my local favorite hangout - Morgane in Brooklyn, thinking, reading, writing. 

Feeling so lucky. 

Wearing stream top. Love it.

travel in time

Yesterday took the ferry to Governor's Island which was also like taking a boat to the fifties. All families and old music and old ways of having fun - putting lots of people in the same hammock, riding ancient merry go rounds, eating burgers and listening to old music.

Things that happen when I wear kerber - move abroad.

I didn't post this, did I? 

Wearing Kerber to our goodbye party in Stockholm a few days before we left for New York.

Wore Kerber on the plane too. Just works. Try it for yourself the next time you move to a foreign country.

Rachel Khoo at Williams-Sonoma, Columbus Circle

So yesterday went to Rachel Khoo's book signing at Williams Sonoma.
My friends Sarah, Maria and Saranii went along too. Below: Saranii discussing beignet making with Rachel.

Saranii is a teacher and a friend of all animals. All animals. Am serious. She speaks English, Dutch, Italian and I think every language of every animal.

We brought Rachel's book with us from Sweden, will soon try one of the recipes myself. Will let you know how that goes.

off now to see if I can place the kids in more camps to help them get more fluent in English before they enter the American public school system in September.

Also today: MOVING IN FOR REAL IN OUR OWN APARTMENT. For the sake of this blog, will move in wearing Kerber.

My life this minute.

Am sitting here, waiting for Niki to finish dance day camp. So happy about one particular thing today: wrote an entire chapter for a project I'm working on.  The writing came so easily, it almost felt like cheating.

It's hot in Brooklyn today but not as hot as it's been. There's just this mellow nice breeze and a wonderful summer feeling.

We left most of our books in Sweden as we could only bring one suitcase each on the plane. Today made my first book purchase state side in the nice Brooklyn Art Library store:

Immediately loved this list - an artist listing his financial needs to a benefactor, listing "bad habits" as one of his main spendings. (though personally wanted to scrawl "semi" right before bad habits cause at a mere 5 bucks how bad could they possibly have been?)

They don't have air conditioning at this cafe, just a fan going back and forth. I wanted the fan effect in my hair and realized timing was similar to that of using laughing gas during labor: you have to plan to hit the button/gas prior to the moment you want the effect to set in.

If you want to make money in Brooklyn, I think this is all you have to do: travel the states with a big truck and buy 60's (or older) wooden furniture for close to nothing. Then return and mark all items
2 600 dollars. That's what people do here. Promise. You could do it too.

Ok, that's it for now, must go pick Niki up.

Next: Meeting up with friends to go to this:

Ps.  Passed this sign on the street today. Wanted to tell them "you had me at beer".
